At least Thunderbird configs are stored in ~/.config/.mozilla/thunderbird. Right? Right…?

If my laptop suspends (?), the graphics get scrambled. Like, I shut the lid, come back a few hours later, and it’s a completely garbled mess. Happens with Wayland; doesn’t happen with X11.

Fun fact: until very recently most of the computer hardware was made in communist China. I know, scary.

China hasn’t been communist in a long time.

Try reading slower. Look up words you don’t understand with a dictionary.

You’re misinformed. It’s okay to admit when you’re wrong.

All the Firefox forks are pretty much dead as well.

Firedragon and LibreWolf seem to be pretty healthy. I’ve been using LW daily for over a year and FD daily for 1-2 years before that.

What do you mean by “actually work in the real world”? I can go on GitHub right now and fork a project within 5 minutes. So can you. It works.

I’m going to post this thread anytime I get some random screaming about how Linux is soooo much easier than Windows.

What a ridiculous straw man. I don’t think I’ve ever heard anybody promote Linux but claiming that it’s easier than Windows.

This bullshit is the number 1 detractor of adoption.

That’s a trend I’ve noticed from Linux critics: they had some bad experience due to a use case that they didn’t feel was properly catered to, and because they had a bad experience, that’s the reason why more people aren’t choosing Linux.

I’ve never used mouse gestures. I’m willing to bet most users don’t. People aren’t picking up Linux and going “Aaarrrgghhh! This sucks, because I can’t program my mouse gestures!” This sounds like a power user feature. Catering to power users so that they don’t badmouth you online is not a good UX design strategy.

Meanwhile the vast majority of users couldn’t care less, and just want to play games, browse the web, and chat with friends, all of which is completely functional in Wayland and has been for a while.

The last couple of times I tried Wayland, it broke my desktop so badly that I couldn’t even use it.

Granted, that was “a while” ago, so my experience might be better now, but it’s made me very wary of it.

In that case, it’s sad that he doesn’t think the Russian people would revolt over sending hundreds of thousands of them to die in a pointless war.

Well, not with that attitude.

In a rare apology from the Russian president, Putin said during his end-of-year press conference that insufficient imports and demand are to blame for the hiked prices.

“I’m sorry about this problem. This is a setback in the government’s work,” Putin said on December 14. “I promise that the situation will be corrected in the near future.”

Holy shit. Russians are serious about their eggs!

Look, it isn’t hard to substitute eggs in recipes. You can use applesauce, banana, chia seeds, flax seeds, or tofu. (To be fair, though, I don’t know what those cost in Russia as compared to eggs.)

30s?

They set him on fire when he died, too.

Vaaaa-der roasting on an open fire…

My brain immediately started singing “Where are the plows? There ought to be plows”.

Except that “draw 25” isn’t a metaphor, it’s just using a different meaning of the word “draw”.

Also:

• Anything that mentions LGBTQ people
• Anything that insults the US or its flag
• Any religion that isn’t Christianity

(Not an exhaustive list)

A lot of people with mental health issues self-medicate with illegal drugs. This guy was probably suffering from depression, and the police pushed him too far. So ridiculous and tragic.

Couldn’t read the article, because it’s behind a paywall.

What did Mr Deeds do to you?!

Whatever it was, it was dirt cheap.
