Grok- “It was THE JEWS!”
Just a below average idiot that mostly comments for one of 3 reasons:
Catharsis, expressing exasperation over the general state of things.
Looking to make someone laugh.
Self deprecation.

Nice update!
…open O&O shut up and disable, disable, disable, disable. Sweet.


I’d second Mint suggested below. I mentioned this on another thread today, but if you’re really concerned about being able to play whatever games you want then just dual boot (use a secondary drive for Linux, not a partition) and upgrade to Windows 11 then install O&O shut up as it will allow you to disable all the telemetry and AI bullshit then just search your installed apps/programs for one drive and delete the app.
I use Mint for everything except gaming. It still runs a lot of what I tried with Lutris and a little tweaking, even got a game working where I just dragged the fully installed folder from Windows over to the Linux drive, but I have some things that work better on windows so I just neutered windows and only run that when I want to play something.


I’m absolutely for him getting the Nobel Prize after he dies. The award would be for the peace his death brought…
As someone similarly unfamiliar with Linux I’ll say I just made the move as well a few weeks ago and haven’t had any issues so far! Ive even started playing with wine and lutris to get games working, with a little tweaking I was even able to drag the files of an already installed game from Windows over to Linux and then get lutris to run it. I was pretty surprised to see it worked lol


Country chooses communist system: US sanctions them, destroys economy and points to it saying “see communism doesn’t work!!”
Country chooses right wing asinine system: system collapses due to its own failures annnnnd the US rushes to save it…

Absolute peak conservative.
No taxes! Keep government out of our lives!
Oops we ruined ourselves, ok population time to pay for it! I’m not going to change though or admit my mistakes, I’m just going to take your money and then push for more deregulation and tax cuts.


“All green all bankrupt.”
“Sorry, hold on a sec, I need to shovel billions in subsidies to oil companies…”


I hope they all say the same thing:
Shit rolls down hill. You’re the hill DC. Fox news and the media are the hill. We’re the ditch where the people congregate in and drown in your shit.


“Come on, I’m a CEO, it’s my job to lie to everyone and hype people up so they throw money at me. It’s really their fault for believing a CEO would be honest.”


Only in countries that don’t have a heritage foundation/ federalist society equivalent that has been stacking their court systems with rubber stamp fascists.
This is exactly why I started using mint this weekend. I figured it’s time I get comfortable with Linux because even though microsuck says recall can be disabled, I 10000% guarantee once the windows 10 deadline passes and they get as many people over to windows 11 as possible we’ll suddenly see the “oops, it’s required now. Can’t disable it or you break windows!” message.
“Anything that says Hitler was bad, slavery was bad, and that Donald Trump isn’t literally God is biased and must be changed!”


Due to the invasiveness of the procedure, I don’t imagine the current administration would find much use for it.
Or: “All Liberals must undergo an American Loyalty Test. Your thoughts will be observed and if any anti-american sentiment is discovered you will be deported!”
If it’s used against an “enemy” group the invasiveness (potential pain) would be viewed as a benefit to them.
Not that I think this could be reasonably carried out in a country of 400 million people, but I wouldn’t for one second doubt their willingness to try eventually.
I’m sure the newpipe devs are going to coincidentally not be allowed to be verified… Oops no YouTube viewer… Ughhh…
NISAR will track the motion of ice sheets and glaciers…
Annnnnnnd Trump shuts it down.


Literally why I paid for a new version instead of… Finding other ways to install it.
That’s on us though for believing scumbag corporations won’t just straight up lie to sell stuff I suppose :(


Hey this is kind of interesting since I just met up with my friend who works for Intel today for his kids first birthday and he was telling me about this issue and how they’re trying to get him to be part of a related team (not specifically related to Linux) on top of his other responsibilities…
He went on at some length describing how absolutely absurd the whole structure was of related systems and how it’s a miracle any of it works lol


Agreed. I live here and end up finding myself cursing this shithole every day I read the news. Fuck this place and half the people that live here.
I thought we didn’t understand gravity enough to prove it is quantum though? I think their results are based on the assumption that quantum gravity is the final explanation
