awwww, did they hurt your poor computer’s feelings?

Does tux have an official gender?

modern windows tries to trick you into not doing that. if you hold for a little bit it turns the screen off so you think it’s turned off when it really hasn’t, then if you hold a little longer it turns the screen back on and tells you to please stop holding the power button, then finally a little after that the computer actually turns off. why the hardware even makes that possible is beyond me

It’s so much better than I expected. Obviously not as much content as vintage story or minecraft but it’s brand new so that’s expected.

Are the uyghurs secretly huge capitalists or something? I’m capable of disliking both US genocides and Chinese genocides at the same time

Android’s modern gesture navigation is awful. I like gesture navigation on ubuntu touch, sailfish, webos, just about everywhere I’ve used it except android, but I cannot stand android’s. Why does swiping from both sides do the same thing? Why does swiping from the bottom do multiple different things depending on how you swipe? Why does swiping along the bottom to switch apps rearrange them so going back and forth is unpredictable? The old two button semi-gesture navigation was so much better.

The only other one you can put on that machine is Linux.

Not true, I know first hand OpenBSD works fine (at least on my AMD FW13, but I’m sure it works on the others too) and I’m sure the other BSDs do too. I’m not recommending a new user use those, just pointing out the original statement is wrong.

I mean I think anything you do that makes enough money to be worth it is just a job at that point right? Like you could start streaming on twitch or something, but once you start making money from it, it becomes a job.

I just use Typst for everything these days, but if you really want a gui thing there’s always the web version of google docs and ms office

Is dual booting really that common? Whenever I need to test something on windows I just use a vm

Earlier this year I collected virtually every photo I’ve ever taken from every device I own and put them on my immich server and it was so worth it. I spend so much time looking at my old stuff now that it’s all there. If anything I think having easy access to take and view photos just lets you connect to them more because you can so easily go back to any point in your life

Anyone can learn to use an office suite on their own in very little time so there’s no reason to teach it. Being able to use the command line is a valuable skill that makes you a way better computer user no matter what you’re doing and it’s one that a lot of people are missing these days. I don’t think you can really say you know how to use a computer if you can only use it in the very specific ways someone happens to have made a gui for

It’s crazy that under 2 years ago I got like twice the memory for my laptop I had intended to because it was so cheap I just figured why not.

I feel like using the command line should really be a basic skill taught in school. That would be way more worthwhile than teaching people how to use like microsoft office

As annoying as using a non-posix compatible shell sometimes is, fish saves me so much time

I mean I suppose it’s no different than subscribing to the patreon of a youtuber you like to get extra videos? I don’t do it but I feel like supporting a content creator you like is a reasonable thing to do even if it’s that kind of content

Or just block it with ublock so it’s permanent

Console manufacturers all just need to switch to displayport to encourage tv manufacturers to do the same. No one’s going to not buy a ps6 or steam machine because they have to use a little dp-hdmi adapter, but they might be a little more likely to choose a tv that doesn’t need an adapter over one that does

Not true in my experience, I would say the majority of windows users I see these days use edge and bing. Most don’t use copilot though

It’s crazy that cloudflare of all people even had unwrap enabled. Whenever I use unwrap in some tiny little not important thing I always treat it as a temporary thing that I need to come back and fix before the software is actually ready for anyone to seriously use
