Fancy cupcakes are 70% icing, really not that nice and a waste of money
The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog (not Sonic the Hedgehog/SatAM) cartoon 4 year old version of Tails is absolute peak Tails.
As a pretty big Tails fan, I really like this very childish Tails who has little to no filter when he speaks, sometimes.
Have yet to play forces, but I’ve seen the cutscene where Tails calls out for Sonic’s help and I absolutely love it because it reminds me of that cartoon version of Tails who at times is just absolutely helpless and needs Sonic to come rescue him.
The contemporary disdain for postmodernism was a Psy op designed to completely destroy philosophy from the inside. And the supposed replacements for post modernism (metamodernism or whatever) were just pop culture millennial distractions that just took attention away from the philosophical issues of the inadequacies of language and crisis of our communications systems. We became stuck in limbo. Cultural conversation dumbed down by useless culture wars articulated in low attention span pop culture commentary and therapy speak.

Touchscreen laptops, and by extension “two-in-one” laptops, are an absolute abomination of a form factor that should not exist.
they are convenient for me. woulds your deny me this?
I would deny you that a surface that’s designed to tilt when touched and collects fingerprints as if that’s its primary function is anything but abominable. Let alone the models that are designed to operate with a keyboard and touchpad facing down and making contact with whatever surface they’re resting on!
For Linux to be a considerable contender for the average user, they need to make it more simple and like a Windows or Mac os.
I used Windows my whole life pretty much. Switching to Mac for a 5 year period was easy. Switching to Linux was easy. Using it was not. Installing a different distro was easy, using it was not. Rinse and repeat 3 more times and hello windows 11, looks like I’m using spyware. Because it just works.
My hill is that whatever os you’re already familiar with, will always feel easiest. Everything that does something differently, will feel more difficult no matter which one is easier for someone who has no prior experience of either one.
I could tell you how painfull it was when I had to start using windows at work knowing pretty much only Linux beforehand, but that too would be just an useless anecdote.
I think the most effective approach to increasing Linux userbase would be to adopt the same strategy Microsoft is using: Push for using Linux in schools, so that it would be the familiar OS for new generations.
Maybe. But switching from Windows to Mac, and again the opposite wasn’t an issue. The learning curve was just changing the way my hands work with keyboard shortcuts. Functionality was so similar. Until Linux can get away from using terminal it’ll be an issue. It may be anecdotal, but my anecdote is significantly more common than yours when you reach past Lemmy. Everything about Linux is awesome, except for the user experience itself and ease of use and it won’t be mainstream until its structured in a way that makes it so. I’m very much pro FOSS and pro decentralization but I also only have so many hours in the day to be Sisyphus, pushing the rock up the hill of trying to understand Linux only to be in the same position and more frustrated than when I started.
And putting Linux as it is right now in schools will do no good. Kids are on phones. Right now, more than ever. They are used to and demand the easy os/app/website/etc.
Switching back to Windows shouldn’t be an issue. Going in the first time is horrible. Whatever the many papercuts of a given os are, you won’t even notice them if you’re used to working around them.
As for the kids, they’ll get their first experience sooner or later, depending on The curriculum of your country. But he same principle applies no matter wether it happens in university or elementary school.
The problem has been that Intel and Microsoft engaged in anticompetitive strategic execution to ensure that each would be a winner over the course of most of our lifetimes. That’s why “Wintel” became a household term over the late 90s.
Now, if you’re building any sort of hardware, why would you pay developers to write drivers for Linux, a hobbyist operating system that had no money flowing around it? Absolute saints cobbled together drivers for video, audio, modern, and other hardware just to make things barely usable, often with buggy behavior. Without insider knowledge of the hardware and firmware design, nor the sheer manpower to do development, Linux floundered in graphical user environments for a long time.
There were proprietary codecs, browser plugins, winmodems, and all sorts of things tailored to Windows user environments that were difficult or impossible to get working on Linux. Linux experts became surly and inaccessible due to the heavy burden of helping newbies just get the system booted and their VGA settings properly set. And so, Linux remained a hobbyist operating system for a long time. User groups finally got companies like NVIDIA to help write drivers for their hardware, and now, getting to a working Ubuntu desktop is arguably simpler than Windows 11.
IMO the problem remains collaboration, engineering, and gaming. The new Winmodem is AutoCAD, Microsoft Office, and BG3. Until the Linux user base grows to a point that it can’t be ignored by the companies developing these products, it’ll remain a very niche OS.

That was the point I was trying to make ultimately, but apparently failed to articulate it well enough.
Oh, man, as the network admin for several hundred machines, “Windows” and “works” in the same sentence is hilarious.
Percentile dice (two ten-sided ones) are read with one die representing the 10s digit, the other the ones digit.
00 and 0 = 100
10 and 0 = 10
The shit people come up with as alternatives to reading the results are wrong
That is the correct way and is even given as examples. What is wrong with people
How else are people reading them?
Yes! Give me some bullshit supermarket cupcakes all day over one of those dumb boutique shops, and homemade over that but who’s got the time these days.
While I’m here cakenuts != donuts, donuts require dough not batter and all dunkin style “donuts” are a big ol’ lie which would be ameliorated by admitting they’re cakenuts.
Yes but the icing is what i want.
It should be illegal for vehicles so noisy that I can hear from kilometers away to drive inside cities and close to people.
It is illegal in most places. Enforcement is the problem.
Respect pornstars.
I pay ‘em my respect every other night, like a gentlemen.
Those are rookie numbers! 😅

Let’s get real.
Disrespect for such proffesions spells out, what is pretty fucking obvious (Pun intended, obviously), to everyone that isn’t the narcissist and his cult of Jesus Snow Crash. He isn’t crippling the market and preventing the exchanges. He’s stealing money from both side of those in the exchange and preaching to the cult that all things wrong and responsible with labels.
This, because the fact is that he’s so ugly, incompetent, lacking self care, and predominantly of zero integral character deserving any respect. He’s mad about people that are just ugly or whatever getting laid by any means when he tried and burnt half his face and body when he tried not to listen to her say no and she already saw it coming.
Not only is it acceptable to consider such to not be criminal, it’s fucking respectable and when she says no and you can’t deal with it, or shit, start some narcisstic denial cult…

You say 70% icing like it’s a bad thing
Good but I have a cold right now and when I woke up I felt like my lips were gonna crumble through breathing through my mouth all night… I have a really good immune system so colds typically last only around 4-5 days though!
I think you’re in the wrong thread mate!
Haha omg I meant to post this on “how is your week going”! 😂 😅
Haha np I’ve done similar many times!
I will never play a game that needs admin elevation to run, I don’t care how good it allegedly is.
I’ve missed out on playing several games with friends due to this stance. Star Wars: The Old Republic was the first I can remember. Marvel Rivals is the most recent.
It doesn’t matter which side you put the toilet paper in. I’m poly-dextrous and it is the way
Wrong. Under leaves a visual blind spot that is unnatural and would cause our ancient ancestors to create a new god based on eradicating it.
How do you feel about just keeping TP on the counter? That’s peak
So that an enrolling pull takes 2 hands? Or the roll falls from the counter? Peasant.
Depending on how the next four years go, probably Capitol.
Nice
