#32They should have told them to gtfo and use Slackware then.

#33Another example: [0] Have to say this never would have occurred to me. There are also examples of US people being offended by scenes considered harmless in other cultures, ie the Totoro bathtub scene [1], search for "family bathing scene". I guess if this hologram offended people, there must be some nice stories about Nirvana's Nevermind (1991). [0] https://velvetshark.com/ai-company-logos-that-look-like-butt... [1]…
> Sound familiar? It should, because it's also an apt description of... well, you know. A butthole.
Good news! Cornholio.ai isn't registered by anyone as a domain name, so someone with sufficient motivation and a love for Beavis and Butthead could totally instruct an LLM to make a satirical AI-butthole-logo themed website.
Bonus points if it has affiliate links to Amazon or other online stores selling TP (for the bunghole, of course).

#34years ago my father got a decomissioned, wiped clean notebook from work and asked me to set it up for him. i didn't want to shell out a hundred bucks for windows, so i suggested trying linux (ubuntu) and he agreed. "intrepid ibex" was installed without issues. a few weeks later i asked him if everything was ok and how he liked it, and he had no complaints, except one: he didn't like the edgy skull on the desktop wall…
The most shocking thing for me on this was that Ivex was such a shit version of Linux and gave me such trouble I put Linux off for 10 more years after that crap. It was not at all ready for normal people. Night and day different to Linux today.

#35How do I view the collectors edition Windows XP without Googling “naked baby” ? Did this comment already put me on a list?

#36What is an “obscene body part”?
If this body part is obscene, shouldn’t the author do the moral thing and remove his own?

#38The same government should sue all new mothers: how dare they deliver babies into this world completely naked !!!
They better not visit Germany, where nudity -- even in some public spaces -- is considered normal! How dare they!!!
'Some public spaces' is underselling the prevalence of FKK a bit.

#39So what was the government that complained?
Pakistan.

Windows has been free since at least VXKC4. Microsoft wouldn’t exist as anything but an Excel vendor today if it were any other way; it’s intentional.
(Ubuntu was the right choice.)
