I tried switching to Linux many years ago (forgot what distro). It was hell.

I don’t remember the specifics anymore, but I remember encountering issues almost every step of the way. Driver support, not being able to find the right buttons, etc. Searching for fixes usually led me down a rabbit hole of “oh cool this user on this forum said in another thread that I just need to install Gobbledegook… But what is it and how do I install it?” and of course a bunch of things require CLI which I’m not fantastic at. Unfortunately I gave up after a week.

Compared to that, Windows really “just works”. I have had my share of frustrations, but it’s usually with stuff that’s comparatively an edge case when compared to the problems I had with Linux. I don’t like that I’m giving money/data to a megacorp, but the price of that is convenience. I don’t churn my own butter, I don’t build my own car, I don’t want to think too much about how my OS works under the hood.

Not a church service, but I attended a church wedding.

Pastor gave a sermon as is tradition during a church wedding. Every minute or so, he somehow managed to work in “and since you are in a place of God, you should not disrespect the bride and groom or our worshippers by using your phones”.

Bitch, I’m here to support my friend who’s getting married, not your church or your worshippers. I know for a fact that my friend chose to get married in the church because it’s cheaper, not because she’s super religious. Also I’m agnostic and haven’t read the Bible, but I’m pretty sure it doesn’t say “thou shalt not use mobile phones in churches”.

I very pointedly had my phone out for his entire sermon out of spite

Anyone who cared would already be off Twitter.

maybe we can tell the Iranians to go after Russians directly, and Russians to go after Iranians directly, and kill two birds with one stone?

And before someone comments about the ultra rich and their private planes, their emissions is basically nothing compared to the rest of air traffic.

Yes but it’s a hugely disproportionate amount for one person, how do people not get this?!

Using the same logic, i shouldn’t do anything about climate change myself, because everything I can personally do is basically nothing.

This is really sad. Beautiful place too.

“The most secure system is a system that’s not live. Crowdstrike, bringing you the best-in-class security.”

The fact that you have to explain this joke to everyone here means it wasn’t a very good one. No nned to get defensive, just… Learn to have a better sense of humor next time lol

Can’t tell if OP is a troll or just clueless, but imagine calling the dominant OS with 72% desktop market share “niche”

Here i found a picture of OP:

This is in nobody’s interest except the shareholders of weapons manufacturers.

You forgot about a country called Ukraine there buddy.

I gotta say, of all the conflicts going on in the world, Ukraine/Russia has got to be the one with the clearest “good” side and “bad” side. Pick another conflict to be edgy about.

Also, doing wrong when done “in retaliation” is still doing wrong.

So… We agree that Israel killing civilians in response to Hamas’s attack is wrong, just as Hamas killing civilians in response to persecution by Israel is wrong?

I’ve never had an issue with any of the changes Facebook has made over the past 5 years.

That’s because I haven’t used facebook at all.

Why would anyone care what Russians use?

Lemmy is just weirdly pro-Hamas and anti-Israel.

Don’t get me wrong, I think what Israel is doing sucks, but what Hamas is doing is equally bad. This is really a both-sides situation.

Soon the boomer cry will go from “nobody wants to work” to “nobody wants to have kids”

Just use the right ublock filter to get past these silly anti adblocks

This is the national equivalent of “I hate my neighbor so I’m going to scrutinise their lawn, and when one blade of grass sticks out onto the sidewalk I’ll report them for violating HOA guidelines on lawn upkeep”

He looked 10-20 years older than he should be in the reunion.

Aw man. Even the main Seinfeld cast is still around.

Shows what substance abuse does I guess. RIP

My desktop functions as a local file server and plex server.

If I bought a laptop and a bunch of hdds, it would cost maybe $500 more, and the hdds would be useless without a laptop plugged in.

A laptop is portable and that’s great, but it isnt always better.
