I never saw your other comment asking for elaboration so I’m sorry for that, but super glad it’s working out for ya! You sound exactly like I did when I first swapped lol

Good luck with the taskbar, we all find that one damn white whale!

Many of us also lived through the era where any 13 year old could steal Mommy’s credit card and rent a botnet for that ezpz

My MC server a decade ago was tiny and it still happened every few months when we banned some butthurt kid

I just don’t have to time to figure out which is the right one for me, installing it, configuring it, etc

Ah, then you want Mint.

I mean maybe someone smarter than me can tell me a linux distro that will work with world of warcraft, steam, final fantasy xiv, etc.

Mint, ive had no issue with any of those except WoW, whose issue is that I do not play it to test it. it even handled modded FNV better than Windows ever did once I figure out SteamTinkerLaunch

Dalamud (QuickXIVLauncher) even is on the distro software hub for easy download to your system, works great.

So many people go boomer argument mode over this because they don’t like change, but their anger is clearly misplaced. The 3.5mm is not the king of audio connectors and never was, it’s death could very easily have been a good thing.

Why the fuck didn’t headphone makers start offering USB-C devices once phones pulled this move? My PC mobo from 2017 has a C port that could be used for this, I’m certain computers could have easily adapted (and they’re the way smaller market anyway). Is it just because apple had to be special with their lightning bullshit? If so, they’d better start it up now!

Instead of being able to buy new cans with the wire that my phone uses I have to snag an adapter. Not a BIG deal but this change is over 5 fucking years old, we should have these devices as the norm now to avoid all of the fucking issues we’re currently looking at

what an apostrophe is normally used for, to show possession

As someone who has learned bits of multiple languages I’ll push back on this: contractions are an apostrophes main purpose in both English and every other language, it’s the possessive use that’s weird. (I should be clear that I’m counting languages that use an apostrophe to denote a gutteral sound in the middle of a word as being basically a contraction, as that’s generally what they get kinda pronounced as in English)

I bet if you Google it then it’s gonna turn out the possessive is an ancient ass contraction

the United States has a functioning railroad system outside of passenger service

“We have a functioning car if you ignore that the gas pedal doesn’t work!”

Passenger rail is part of our rail system AND the topic of OP for anyone who can read. Its terribleness is in many ways the freight systems fault (at least Amtrak specifically) so it absolutely loses points on the functional scale since usually things that function well don’t actively damage other related things

It’s only normal if you’re regularly doing iffy things like messing with drives or changing OS shit via terminal without thinking about what you’re doing, Ubuntu is a pretty stable system

You should definitely be using TimeShift, it comes pre installed on Mint (which is a derivative of Ubuntu) so it should work or already be on your system

5 years in

Batteries last far longer than that, to the point where every warranty I’ve seen is 10 years minimum

Range anxiety is still the biggest issue for EV adoption

Only because people keep making false claims like:

the supercharger network is the only practical option right now

It’s also how content creators literally create chapters: put the time codes into the video description

That’s a native feature of the platform

has just enough customization options ootb

Mints biggest crime is not having a Mint-Y dark mode despite so many people asking for it if you Google.

Best theme, bright mode only. Criminal.

Like if you go bowling and you win every day 4 times in a row but came 3rd on the 5th day, it was still a good time overall.

Yesterday’s game doesn’t have a direct relation to today’s game. You could have those good games any time, or that bad game at any time. There’s no causal link to have a bad game one day retroactively ruin other games.

Season 1 absolutely has a relation, and impact, on Season 8. You can’t have one without the other, unlike your bowling comparison, so Season 1 can and is damaged by the existence of Season 8.

you would be consciously missing out on great times.

It’s not a great time, though, because Season 8 exists and everyone knows it now. That argument works better for shows that aren’t done yet, and thus we can’t know if they’ll actually be good or not.

Most people find bad endings to retroactively taint the experience leading up to it.

If you don’t, cool for you, but it should be easy to see why most people end up less excited and positive about a work if it ends poorly

From there it should also be easy to see why someone might do the math and judge something with a poor ending will end up being a net negative despite the positive they experience along the way.

Ctrl+D to deselect is stupid.

Lol

My man GIMP is the only software I’ve ever seen that doesn’t use CTRL+D for deselect

I think your issue with Linux and the terminal might be your horrid grip on the written language and not a Linux problem

I love that effect, but sometimes it can fail. For example:

Our familiarity with lineage will…

Is how my stupid ass brain read it first and I knew what was up

I was about to say that was probably a joke but then I thought about the other 2 couples I’ve done D&D with and, yeah, no, accurate

It’s entirely irrelevant to bring up one specific type of vehicle being cancelled because people didn’t like it, which can be for a shitload of different reasons beyond just size
