Recently been playing around with Mint. For the most part it’s user friendly. Where it falls apart is it’s not intuitive, it took me hours of googling to try to figure out how to add windows specific drivers (because the manufacturer didn’t create Linux drivers) for a Bluetooth mouse so I could program the mouse buttons. There were community created drivers on GitHub but no direct way to get them, I would have had to download and configure several support files before I could even try to install. I eventually gave up and just bought another mouse.

Most people would have given up in the first 5min and tossed their PC out and kept the mouse.

It’s not that Linux doesn’t work, it’s that it takes work to get it to work.

If Linux worked in the sense of clear step by step instructions and the developers/legacy users didn’t expect everyone to be experts or expect everyone to spend hours trying to figure out world peace just to perform a mundane task, then it would probably replace windows pretty quickly.

OneDrive secretly changing all of my save paths to OneDrive and not adding the cloud symbol to show that it’s beed saving my files to Microsoft servers, even when OneDrive sync is turned off.

I wish I could drop Microsoft completely.

Slams?

Their response was an uncertain and apprehensive “let’s wait for the investigation”.

NRA, this is your moment to put actions behind words and you quietly sit in a corner rocking back and forth, because this time it’s daddy orange behind the trigger man? What a joke.

Their response was, “wait for the investigation”. WTF? What investigation? Trump will sweep it under the rug like the last two.

Well yeah.

I can buy a Ford Ranger Raptor for $65k or a Toyota Tacoma Trail Hunter for $65k. I know that the Toyota out performs the Ranger in nearly every meaningful way and has a history of lasting twice as long without major maintenance.

Fords and Chevy have always been marketed as the working class car/truck, they’re supposed to be cheap, capable and tough. With the idea of the owner performing self maintenance. But now they are some of the most expensive and ridiculously out of proportion vehicles on the road. On paper they’re impressive but worthless in less than 5 years, so buy one used and hope you can get 5 more years before it falls apart.

One of their selling points was they were mass produced American made and assembled. But now most of the vehicles are built and mostly assembled in other countries, with only the final stages in the US so they can avoid import taxes.

Ford/Chevy/Chrysler have destroyed themselves and just because they have an office the US doesn’t make them US automakers when they don’t make automobiles in the US anymore. They never should’ve gotten US government bailouts. If anything the bailout should have come from countries where their factories are actually located. Fuck em.

Proof Miles went back in time. Star Trek is real!

Only available for phones you’ve never heard of or phones no one bought. Like Volla or Pine or Fair, and very specific versions.

And where’s the NRA?

Government takes away gun of law abiding citizen who legally owns gun, then executes him in public.

This is the kind of stuff that they should be jumping all over.

A gentleman and a scholar

My grandparents had one, it made an awful screeching sound

They fucking scurryed away. Not joke scurryed. Literally scurryed!

This is our big bad, what the hell is going on in Minneapolis. Like a bunch of bullies playing a deadly prank

How dare she, Lower Decks is exactly what it should be and we should have gotten 9 seasons.

I give SFA a pass because it’s recovering from DISCO fever and is moving in the right direction and because the burn would reshape and change a lot of what we would consider Starfleet without a fleet. The actors not being physically fit I can forgive because the federation split Starfleet into separate military and science during the burn, so those left in the science part might not have been the most physically fit or emotionally mature.

The Jem Hadar slash Klingon vice principal does seem a little weird but it could be brushed away with the time jump. A lot can happen in almost a thousand years.

I get that a thousand years later tech has changed but the academy being a ship with wings seemed dumb and I hope it never comes up again. Having a dedicated ship for the academy seems practical, like having a bus for field trips. Having a ship built like a satellite campus of a community college that flies through space just seems odd, impractical and inefficient. Why not an actual real training ship to give cadets practical experience or are we supposed to believe that ships of the era all have an open courtyard in the center.

Yes

Russian cops, can’t shoot fire so they kicked it. Turns out it was a bad idea to kick fire.

They would have gotten the fire extinguisher but they hadn’t gotten to the training for beating people with improvised weapons.

Probably because MAC was niche for a long time hipster for a long time. HP/Compaq and now Dell has almost always been synonymous with corporate office workers

You’re right, I do feel smarter

Biden’s fault

But he has Nobel Peace prize

Most likely they will turn the 1.5% into cost so that corporate can still reap the extra revenue without giving the division any revenue credit. So not just screwing the customer but also their own internal business and employees that get bonuses from sales.
