Microsoft running psyops to keep the Linux community as toxic as possible

You aren’t trying to suggest that experienced Linux users are a bunch of arrogant fart-sniffing a-holes who expressly enjoy gate-keeping inexperienced users by being as condescending and unhelpful as possible?

Well said. It’s impossible to be a free speech absolutist without condoning some pretty heinous forms of human expression. But you’re right that the proper ethical yardstick is whether any meaningful human expression causes demonstrable harm.

Non-sexual nudity is definitely not harmful.

Participation in any community demands some level of censorship or else there would literally be CP on youtube. The problem is that the decision making behind the administration of censorship should be better democratized instead of being decided by advertiser’s attempting to divine the median consumer’s level of tolerance.

I am still using a pixel 3xl and probably will until the battery dies.

I am waiting for the egg shaped phone that somehow has sharp edges and remains slippery when dry.

You can always bring a second controller for redundancy. I would bet money the game controller had zero impact on the failure and I hate all the shade being thrown on this innocent controller.

The game controller is not managing life critical functions, that’s called a computer. The game controller plugs into the computer. The great thing about that is that you can bring a second (or even a third) game controller for redundancy.

It’s just that the engineering choices that caused the failure are difficult to understand or communicate in sentence so the game controller is something any idiot can harp on about and sound smart.

Nationalize Boeing now

I’ve started a Kagi subscription for my new search engine. Basically $6 USD per month but because it’s a user-pay model they have a really good privacy policy and don’t sell/analyze your data.

It’s currently better than Google (which I still use search in the maps for reviews)

That would have been sufficient to notice this update’s borked

Like those ass massaging power chairs.

I have a monochrome brother laser/fax that is old af. I don’t mess with color because like you said if I want photos printed I’m going to get the big-boy printer at the store to do it.

I am so scared and aroused

I am debating mint vs arch. It’s been a minute since I fucked around with arch. Dunno if I want to “get into it” with arch or just do a plug’n play distro and take it from there.

I need to gtfo before Win 11 comes crashing down on my life.

OP is the type of insufferable gatekeeper forum troll that makes people hate switching to Linux because they end up just being a firehose of smug opinionated negativity towards everyone about it all the time.

Literally just gave up brave for Firefox two weeks ago just for that reason even though brave isn’t supposedly gonna be affected. I have no doubt Google might deliberately just break chromium one day once and for all.

I am also an on/off Linux user since Debian. Windows 10 has been fine for me and I would live here forever in the blissful ignorance of OS apathy but when support for it stops in 2025 and I am force marched into the Windows 11 I may jump ship and run off into the wilds of Linux again.

Arch has the best documentation. Most documentation is either too dumbed down or too advanced. Arch documentation splits the difference and gives you basic information along with general context that opens your curiousity about other aspects of the system without overwhelming you.

If you pull on a thread you want to find a rope instead of getting blasted with a firehose.
