We tried it once, and quickly went back, is one.

Might be a case of greener grass. Virtually none of us has lived without it, apart from Arizona, so we just don’t know what we have.

The fact that AI is “not perfect” is a HUGE FUCKING PROBLEM. Idiots across the world, and people who we’d expect to know better, are making monumental decisions based on AI that isn’t perfect, and routinely “hallucinates”. We all know this.

Every time I think I’ve seen the lowest depths of mass stupidity, humanity goes lower.

Yes. In both cases.

We can’t even explain death to ourselves.

First I tried Ubuntu. Then I tried Mint.

Two years later, still on Mint. It works, it doesn’t spy on me, I’m good.

I have very clear memories of my grandparents house in Michigan. I only visited three times, but I explored that house top to bottom when I was around nine years old. I also remember where it was in town, and how to walk to the main street from the house. It’s a very small town, to this day, fewer than 800 people.

The thing is, when I look at Google maps, nothing looks quite right. I’m not sure I’ve found the right house, the house that looks right isn’t in the right spot, etc. Main Street looks right, and the drug store is still there, but the rest is wrong. It’s been 50 years, and you might think, ‘well, of course, everything has changed’, but it’s a very small town, and all the houses and yards look old, there’s practically nothing new in town. No spot where the house might have been, but is now something newer. It looks like a town stuck in the 1940s.

Anyway, I prefer my memories.

So glad Win 10 was the last one for me.

How would this attack “undermine popular support for Iran’s military establishment”?

I think one of the reasons for this was to stir up protests here in the U.S., so they have an excuse to take over the mid-term elections, and perhaps start marshal law.

They aren’t hard to remove, and you can buy valve stems that fit your hole at any auto parts store.

Good to know.

I run Win10 IOT in a virtualbox to run one app once a month for a few minutes, that I haven’t found a replacement for.

Seems like a good move. They need some market they can dominate, even if it’s a small market at the moment. But, the only way this works is if we buy their phones. I wish them luck, and maybe they’ll make my next phone. I want to get out of Apple and Google.

I have many other things I’d rather do on my computer, than mess around with the OS. I just want one that works and stays out of my way. Oh, and doesn’t spy on me.

As long as you always comment honestly, admit when you make a mistake, and apologize if need be, then why be concerned about it? If most people understood what you meant, and only one or two people misunderstood, then you might take a second to clarify for them. You don’t owe anyone an explanation, though.

The only time I deleted an account is when someone I knew at work discovered my username.

Blender is far better than anyone not-in-the-know would expect.

VLC does much more than just play videos, but the user interface inexplicably hides most of the functionality. Also, they’ve vehemently claimed for many years that it’s impractical to provide backward frame-by-frame stepping, but Celluloid does it just fine.

GIMP and Inkscape keep improving, with GIMP being the better of the two. GIMP should just copy Photoshop’s interface as closely as possible. There’s no shame in that, and Photoshop does many things better. Most users coming to GIMP are coming from Photoshop. (Yes, I’m using PhotoGIMP, but that really doesn’t do much to help.)

Coming soon to a government near you.

Remember when we all condemned Russia for hitting those schools in Ukraine? And, of course, they’re still doing it.

I guess not all of us did.

So, he lied, as expected.

It’s okay if you lie to Congress about this one subject, and several others. They don’t really want to know. They’re just trying to get re-elected. This is one more reason we need term limits for Congress.

Those are just the ones we know about. He almost certainly also has more registered through Nevis, which is an Island nation that does not reveal who owns which companies are registered there. This is common practice for all billionaires, to hide the money they stole from us from taxes and protect themselves from lawsuits, etc.

Should’a been “Wood Knot”, or even “Wood Naut”.

The worst major fast food chain by a mile, and they’re pulling stupid shit like this.

Whatever your reasons are for paying ridiculous prices to eat crap at a place like this, they’re not good reasons. You can do better, you’re worth more. Stop abusing yourself.
