Lots of, but not the majority. They could have picked many other things that would seem fun for much larger groups of people, but that would be counterproductive for trying to convince you to work forever.

edit: note that I live on a vacation destination for golf and cruises, and this is still my impression.

Pleasure cruises, golf and tracing the family tree seem like cherry picked bad examples.

Goalposts in transit.

I think the point is the number of times someone is having such an issue, and those people show up to proclaim they’ve never had such problems as if it’s helpful. So, at least you can recognize it’s not.

Interesting, I’ll have to experiment with it, not sure if voyager supports regex.

huh, I wasn’t aware the keyword filters would factor in whitespace at either end, I’m used to that getting stripped out.

Just install an airlock. Probably still cheaper.

keyword filter in an app: twitter

good luck filtering out “X”

Or near the washroom. The two control brushes they had in a different room also had fecal matter on them.

Still looking for the episode, but here’s a short writeup

edit: looks like it was episode 12

edit2: This is it from their Facebook page

They established this in one of the most disturbing MythBusters episodes years ago.

edit: actually, I’ve realized in that episode that the toilet didn’t have a lid, so while the experiment wasn’t the same, you can probably draw the same conclusion when control toothbrushes outside the bathroom were also affected

I’m there to autoblock all of Elon’s advertising.

I’m there specifically to annoy you.

Also there are people using their real names sharing their real lives for me to give a shit about. The Maui community is strong there. People disappear from Twitter and I wonder what happened. If people disappear from here I wouldn’t notice.

I’ve done an update and suddenly bluetooth doesn’t work. Or audio. Or the network is fucked. Or there’s no display on soft reboots, and you have to completely shutdown, turn off and restart to get video again.

One of the current Microsoft-induced selling points for linux is that it’s supposedly a great alternative for hardware that doesn’t support TPM, particularly for people who wouldn’t know how to disable that requirement on Win11 and above. Well, guess what? All that equipment is old. So all the arguments that it’s a hardware problem are not great for linux, since it’s linux that doesn’t play nice with it without fiddling.

For a time I was able to turn this machine into a Hackintosh that ran MacOS well with everything compatible, including the video card before they switched to metal and discontinued support for nVidia drivers. That was easier than getting linux to work and stay working properly, and it’s well documented how much of a pain Hackintoshes were to get working right.

Until a normal system update breaks something within a few days, weeks, months, whenever. And you may be able to fix it. This is a common occurrence that can happen to anyone, not that it necessarily will. It is well documented in the annals of lemmy.

Thank you! Glad I’m not the only one to mention this or agree with it. Had some twit bitching at me last night to prove it, as if I kept screenshots or something. I just fixed things and moved on.

Not sure what problem you ignorant people have with reading, but I’m currently using it after fixing problems that some people insist didn’t exist. My system has Win10, Linux Mint and Garuda all working, after fixing multiple things. The linux distros still occasionally break after basic system updates and need to be fixed again. Meanwhile, Win10 has been solid as a rock for me. I spend zero time troubleshooting it. Bye.

edit: before the next assumption is made… no, the linux distros don’t share a partition, they’re in independent partitions, on a separate drive from and not sharing a boot partition with Windows, so none of that are valid issues to blame.

Nope, just clicked on a post like normal and recognized the name. Plus voyagerapp’s “New Account Highlightenator” feature makes you look like this

so you stand out a bit.

This is way weirder than anything in the hydrohomies channel.

The OP’s post is asking why people leave Linux… if you cannot handle an honest response to the post, and consider it slander, that’s your problem.

If you cannot understand by what I’ve already written that I fixed the issues, and are unable to work out for yourself that means the hardware is compatible after necessary fixes, that’s also your problem.

Also, my comments are in writing, so it would be libel, not slander. If you’re going to accuse me of something, be accurate.

Now I’m blocking you. Go whine at someone else.

edit: I didn’t even mention the times since the original fixes when doing a simple, completely normal system update broke one thing or another and had to figure that out. This is the reality linux fanbois hate to see.

I don’t need to be specific. It’s not necessary to convince you or a priority to explain what all I had to do. You’re not worth the time, this isn’t a debate. I diagnosed the issues and fixed them. I recently tried Zorin out of curiosity and it was a shitshow with numerous things not working. I went to Linux Mint and still had to fix issues. Pretty sure that’s the exact distro you referred to, plus the one determined to be easiest and most noob friendly. So that presumption of yours is DOA. Now fuck off, because I don’t need your opinion on whether or not I did something wrong, and the comments on this post are filled with people who also have issues. Go lecture them.
