And God forbid you enable captions on the video or something - it’ll disable itself every time an ad plays.

Funny how I was able to get the pun even though I was not familiar with “je ne sais quoi”

I’m surprised how Microsoft just took all of Google’s deliberate sabotages without any fuss.

Though in the end what really put the nail on the coffin was Pokémon Go.

They are gatekeeping which apps you can install, not the installation method.

I doubt most people care that much. I do, but I don’t know anyone else who does.

But even if I were to lose this, I would not even consider switching to apple (but I would consider switching to something more open).

That might be true for distros like mint, but fedora is usually fine with brand new hardware.

Yesterday I heard someone was a “psychologist specialized in disasters” and I was ready to sign up, but turns out they meant she works with victims of natural disasters.

Sir, that’s a lollipop glued to your scanning machine.

We love him cause he fucks us tenderly instead of violently like everyone else.

The fourth car is for the fish.

And not even truly de-centralized, as most services that support it actually do it through a few centralized third parties instead of implementing it directly.

May I suggest adopting Brazil’s pix system, which has been the latest target of these companies and the reason why Trump is now trying to bully the country? Would be quite funny if Visa ended up losing even more ground to the very same system it is trying to sabotage.

There are many different ways to define “stable”. Linux is better in some, windows might be better in others.

Linux users to Windows users with a question: “you can solve that by switching to Linux”

Linux users to that same user when they switch to Linux and have a question: “why the fuck do you wanna do that? Go back to Windows.”

Just keep in mind that there are some very different options within the Linux world and different people here will push you towards different options. The two most common and most different options are Bazzite and Mint.

While both of them can definitely work well, in my experience Mint still leaves a lot of new users unsatisfied with it. I’m yet to see any windows user complain about Bazzite, so that’s my recommendation.

Either way if you try one and it doesn’t live up to your expectations, there’s still a chance the other might.

I’m loving bluefin and I really want to go all in on the immutable stuff, but I’m having a hard time being productive on it. The devcontainers experience has been miserable (probably because I refuse to use VSCode and every other editor having poor or no support for it); I also had SElinux fuck me up when trying to build some complex dockerfile from a project at work (something that was supposed to just work took me two whole days of debugging - and I even managed to break bluefin’s boot process when I tried to mess with the SElinux configuration. This one was mostly due to my own inexperience with SElinux, combined with there being a lot less content on the internet about fixing stuff on immutable distros compared to traditional ones).

I’m using it as my main gaming distro now but I still have it break sometimes. Mostly due to Bluetooth stuff, but I also need to shut down the pc completely whenever I leave it running on its own for a while because it just doesn’t wake back up if it sleeps - and I always forget to look into that after turning it back on.

Some people see numbers instead/along with colors, and different people see different numbers, so I guess the colors might be different between people too

I would do 720 + 3 * 70 + 3 * 2

In most of the US they have HOA who likely forbid such things for an absurd fear that a slightly uglier house down in your street will tank your property’s value.
