That’s what happens when people don’t know how to use the system properly. They just throw their files and announcements into random places without any thought, and expect everyone to be able to find them.

In cases like that, you just need to ask a more experienced user for direction, because nothing else works. It’s not your fault you can’t find your way around a labyrinth like this. It’s the fault of everyone who turned that place into a labyrinth.

Can we also blame the software? Maybe, if the marketing was misreading. Mostly though, this sort of chaos emerges as a result of ignorant people abusing the system.

Ad supported videos act as a demo. Those who can tolerate ads, can stay in the demo stage. If you have tried the videos, found them valuable, and can’t tolerate the ads, I suggest paying for the video in the future.

There’s value in having both systems in place. If you have only one, it’s going to limit your options and hurt everyone involved.

All the Debian ISO images and all of the documentation on everything.

This way. I should have all the stable software I could wish for and the instructions on how to use them.

Depends on what you need from Excel. All the simple stuff and most of the medium complex stuff is available in Calc. However, there are still many Excel only features where Calc can’t compete. Not a big deal for most people since those tend to be slightly obscure features anyway. If Calc can’t get the job done, I suggest switching to R or GNU Octave. You’ll thank me later.

This stuff is just too hilarious, and more insanity keeps on coming. As a result, it’s popcorn time every day of the week, and I can’t sustain a diet like that.

And so it begins. You can ask Armenians and Rwandans where this sort of language leads to.

There are infinitely many ways to live a nice life and infinitely many ways to suffer. Every possibility happens and is equally real and important. If you save one universe from a horrible doom, there are always more that will suffer an even worse fate.

The multiverse is a truly vast place, so anything you do or don’t do is less than a drop in the ocean. What matters is how your decisions and interactions affect you.

I’m a very picky hippie when it comes to dimensions.

In 2001 there was that 9/11 thing and it sounded like WW3 had just started. Turns out, it didn’t. Well, lots of things did happen as a result of it, but WW3 wasn’t one of them. Soon after that, USA was involved in a number of wars in the middle east and it felt like WW3 had just started. Again, it didn’t. Some time around 2010s the tension between North Korea and South Korea was getting pretty intense, and a friend of mine started talking WW3… As usual, WW3 didn’t start.

At the moment, the situation in Ukraine feels just like all the other major incidents, but we’ll see how it works out. If you expose your mind to tabloid journalism, it begins to feel like the entire world is about to explode. History has a tendency of repeating itself, so I suggest reading about the things that lead to WW1 and WW2. Once, you’ve done that, you’ll begin to pay attention to certain signs and start ignoring most of the nonsense tabloids keep writing about.

Just so you know, PRC is not a very inclusive place. Have a look at this article for more info.
