I tried switching to Linux many years ago (forgot what distro). It was hell.

I don’t remember the specifics anymore, but I remember encountering issues almost every step of the way. Driver support, not being able to find the right buttons, etc. Searching for fixes usually led me down a rabbit hole of “oh cool this user on this forum said in another thread that I just need to install Gobbledegook… But what is it and how do I install it?” and of course a bunch of things require CLI which I’m not fantastic at. Unfortunately I gave up after a week.

Compared to that, Windows really “just works”. I have had my share of frustrations, but it’s usually with stuff that’s comparatively an edge case when compared to the problems I had with Linux. I don’t like that I’m giving money/data to a megacorp, but the price of that is convenience. I don’t churn my own butter, I don’t build my own car, I don’t want to think too much about how my OS works under the hood.

If you get a super disabled parking tag, you can push away cars with disabled tags from disabled parking lots and use it yourself

“It’s close. You can’t change Democrats’ minds no matter what. They’ve got a one-track mind, and that’s it,” he said.

Bridy called Trump a “working class guy like us.”

Am I reading The Onion or what?!

Tipping culture is broken. We should end the actual practice of tipping and bake tips into the actual prices of stuff.

“during whatever that was” 😂😂😂

They are killing it with their sass

Don’t forget that weird sofa dude was born as James Donald Bowman, and JD Vance is his preferred name.

Keep that in mind when he attacks people with preferred names and deadnames trans folks.

The best endorsement this poor guy can get is “he’s not that important anyway” 😂😂 Old Weirdo accidentally gave his running mate the sickest burn of them all lol

“The most secure system is a system that’s not live. Crowdstrike, bringing you the best-in-class security.”

It CAN BE amazing in certain situations. Ceo tomfoolery is what’s making generative Ai become a joke to the average user.

Spamming user+1@gmail, user+2@gmail takes absolutely no technical knowledge whatsoever - anyone can do it with 1 gmail account.

Spamming user1@domain, user2@domain etc requires 1 of two things:

1. you can sign up for multiple email accounts using a third party service. You’re going to run into trouble with Gmail or other big providers if you start creating accounts en masse.

2. you create your own email server. this requires someone with selfhosting knowledge and some basic coding (or rather server config) experience.

that’s to stop people from spamming signatures with user+1@gmail, user+2@gmail, user+3@gmail, etc.

if that happens occasionally, it’s fine. I’ve seen apps which update every other week and do this bullshit.

That’s still (slightly) better than apps which force close when they’re not updated, and don’t allow you to do anything at all.

I don’t understand your logic. I could just as easily change your text to say

Celsius was designed to make creating thermometers easier. You pop your new thermometer into some ice water, call that 0, pop it in boiling water, call that 100, and then you can just keep dividing the space between them in half until you get 100 degrees.

many sites have anti-adblock but most adblockers now have anti-anti-adblock in place.

Your problem is posting memes lol, maybe try posting in other communities

As someone who just wandered into this thread - yes, you are by far the most insufferable poster on this thread so far. Worse than many other vegetarians in fact.

The whole situation in that region is far too complicated to have a simple answer, and there’s legitimately blame on both sides. But hamas overplayed their hand this time.

Yeah reddit is already a tiny bit of an echo chamber (tech savvy, frequently online folks). Lemmy is worse (every other post is "big tech bad, Linux good, privacy ftw). Not that these are necessarily bad things, they’re just not representative of the general population.
