This is my friend. Had a Steam Deck and couldn’t figure out Steam OS so they installed Windows on it instead. He’s very tech literate but somehow can’t grasp Linux. On the other hand, I’ve transitioned fine to Linux Mint.

Yeah but my W10 shoved a giant full screen ad telling me to get rid of my PC and get a new one with W11 twice. Support might be ending but if it constantly nags you to upgrade, that’s just BS.

Australia banned hentai

Did we? My scientific search the other night proves that false, and I’m not on VPN.

Because of the desire for infinite growth. The line must go up 💹

Can’t they just write an ‘AI’ to ask an artist for permission then? I’ll bet they can. It’s just that most artists will say no unless they get paid. So, their business model, based on theft, is not sustainable. Got it.

Well… They had Madonna on some years ago and that failed spectacularly when she lip synced the entire act…

I don’t think Eurovision would work with America in it because of American exceptionalism. That’s why you’ll stick to your national song contests.

I showed this meme to my husband (who uses Arch, btw). He didn’t know what NixOS was and is now curious. What have I done?

All of them. Limit the size, ban acquisitions. Break up monopolies. They’ve never been good for everyone and just become exploitative.

See Dutch East India company, the worst of the lot who was a corporation that had their own military. Learn from history so mistakes are not repeated again.

My windows partition forced me to do an update which has now broken the start menu and right clicking on pinned icons. Thanks Microsoft. Great job.

I really can’t wait to be rid of it completely but unfortunately the building and construction industry is addicted to torture and refuses to move on from Autodesk.

I use Waterfox but I’ll try that too. Would suck because I like Waterfox.

Noted. Will try that! Thanks

On a separate note, I just installed a Linux partition on my laptop to dual boot since I still need windows for AGI32 and Autodesk. Next weekend, I’ll be shrinking my windows partition, move my files to a new partition and mount it in Linux so I can access files both ways.

Feels so good to have absolute control of my computer again.

I’m glad I got out when I could because Recall is such a dodgy ‘feature’.

Jokes on them! I got rid of windows last week and now have Linux Mint on my PC! It’s great! All my games run and I’ve set up my own screenshot shortcut in a way that I want. Installing software through terminal commands is also a lot of fun.

It doesn’t matter. The choice was the status quo or something worse for everyone on earth, economically.

Everyone in the world knows the US election system is crap and has been getting more crap for decades. The world isn’t angry at you specifically. The world is angry at the apathy of the general American public and the sheer amount of influence America has over the global economy since WW2.

There were protests for George Floyd. There was the MeToo movement.

But when it comes to a convicted felon and known criminal taking the top seat? Crickets. Anything that isn’t US centric, such as the global economy, doesn’t seem to rustle any of your jimmies. Hence, we’re pissed because your apathy has brought in economic instability on all of us when it could have all been easily prevented.

Something as small as ‘not having the right candidate’ or even ‘sticking it to the libs’ means nothing to the rest of the world when what we have now it’s the alternative.

For a country with so much global power, the populace is so, so, so small minded.

Time to test out Armor Paint this weekend then.

Oooh! I had this back in the day. It was absolutely fantastic. I would love for this to come back again. I miss physical buttons and being able to do everything on the phone with one hand.

I thought the EU was reducing funding to FOSS projects and investing more into AI. I could’ve sworn I read that somewhere last year.

I think it was this event that I read.

No, you’re definitely allowed. Otherwise you’d have had your comments removed from the public discourse.

The up and downs just gauge public approval to the comment. Remember, you’re also free to up and down vote to voice your disagreement.

Also remember, if you think everyone around you are assholes then likely you’re the asshole.

Edit: I just saw your other comment on the lack of variety of posts. Be the change you want to see. Find something interesting and make a post!

Hang on. I just scrolled down the comments list for a couple of minutes and didn’t see anyone calling anyone else a Nazi or a fascist. What are you going on about?

And YouTube is a company. They don’t believe in anything except increasing shareholder value. It’s got nothing about far left or whatever. Gender identity isn’t even a far left idea, unless your Overton window is skewed.

Also, you’ve just sort of outed yourself unnecessarily as an ignorant bigot in a left leaning community with your statement:

Just because someone doesn’t want to play the gender tip toe dance, doesn’t mean they’re nazis

Of course they’re not Nazis. No one’s calling them a Nazi. They’re calling that someone a bigot.

Actually, it seems that people here are more concerned about companies not sticking to the far left ideology

Actually, it’s people who are concerned about companies kowtowing to a fascist regime, the Trump government.
