  • Out of the two, you’re more likely to have the dongle break first. Those cables have a limited life of bending before snapping or the internal wiring coming undone or a failed connection or just cheap hardware. My first dongle I bought about 2 years ago is getting to that point with me carrying it in my backpack.

    I still have my IBM ThinkPad running Windows 95 that has all of its ports still working to this day. The screen hinges are the only thing that has broken on it in all this time. Same for many other laptops I’ve had over the years. Even a gaming laptop I had had its plastic housing break along the sides of the ports due to a fall, but no ports were ever damaged or became inoperable in its life.

  • Linux hasn’t been that way for a few decades now. You can definitely get that “terminal exclusive” experience if you want, but it has been made so much easier in the last 20 years with most distros being as easy to use as Windows with a mouse + keyboard UI experience being the way you can do just about anything. The only times I’ve absolutely needed to use a terminal were for very special circumstances like a specific setting I wanted or back in the day when I needed to update an app, but even that is now taken care of in the UI with various distros using app marketplaces.

    The true most complicated part has been the setup, but even that has been made more user friendly in the last 7 years. Though I have yet to see anyone make it as easy as Microsoft does to get a ISO of Windows onto a USB with one application, so I will give Microsoft that as the upper hand. Though this wouldn’t even be an issue if consumers had Linux ready machines in stores like you can for Windows and macOS.

    Guarantee, if you put a Windows theme on a Linux distro or just use something like Zorin OS and give it to someone with little to no tech savviness, they will think it is Windows and use it in the same way and may not ever truly notice. And with websites now (past 5-10 years) detecting your OS, even going to websites to download a specific app will sometimes default to the Linux option. Microsoft Windows having an app store is what macOS and Linux have been doing for even longer.

    The availability of apps/applications that users are used to using is the second biggest challenge most average users would face, but there are tons of alternatives to choose from in most cases, with some being better (better UI choices, little to no tracking, longer update support) and/or free.

  • Steam accused of 'normalizing hate and extremism in the gaming community' in new ADL report

    Jump

  • I have never seen any of these things while browsing Steam. I feel like you have to go searching for it if you want to find it and you will find it on any platform if that is your intention.

    This report makes it feel like 4chan 2.0 which is a place that would fit their description.

    Instead this just feels like a lame attempt from Epic or some other competitor at pulling down Valve since they can’t/don’t want to directly compete fairly.

    I’m sure there are some disgusting racists and imagery on Steam, but not to the extent they’re making it out to be or that Valve approves of it. As a matter of fact, if you go check out controversial games like Dustborn or the newest Dragon Age, you’ll see that Valve has actually been suppressing negative reviews, regardless whether they contain offensive content or not.

  • Have you ever ghosted somebody?

  • Just did my former friends earlier this year.

    Life is life. Gets crazy and we don’t work together anymore so we don’t get much time to hang out.

    He blew up on me about me never reaching out but like when? And I apologized and said I would try to make a better effort to reach out.

    After about an hour, he never texted me back and I realized that the last message sent before he blew up on me was me reaching out to him a few weeks prior and he never responded! So like wtf dude.

    So then he or his wife said something and I never responded and they texted me a few times for a few days after but I never replied, let alone read the messages.

    I was already on the edge about them anyway. They had a problem with everyone. Everyone eventually had a problem with them and it makes me feel like they’re likely the problem people in their various situations. They were very strict about things and it just never felt right with me.

    I gave them my car that I was no longer using and they were super appreciative which is how we became friends, but I honestly was just trying to be nice. I wasn’t really looking for friends.

    Idk. I feel bad about it sometimes but I also feel like it was long overdue for us to no longer be friends anymore.

  • I am and yes that helped a ton!

    All of my banks even my small credit union let me lock the cards and also order new ones in the app and one updated my cards in Apple Pay so I could have a card in the meantime through Apple Pay. Very helpful for the places that accept it.

  • Microsoft Teams is dog shit

    Jump

  • The auto closing is driving me insane.

    I have 3 different computers I use on a daily and each of them encounter this issue multiple times each week. A meeting starts and I have to go start up Teams and wait for it to fully open to join the call. Or I have someone cold call me and I don’t get the call on my computer and won’t even after opening Teams.

    They can do a full refresh and release new features to make it look pretty but nothing has been done to address this issue that has been ongoing since day 1 of this “new Teams” refresh.

  • I believe they will never allow users to delete entire chats like that because it will cause mass panic for users and managers, particularly. You already have users doing dumb shit like deleting files accidentally. And more than that, you’ll have managers getting upset that users may be doing it on purpose like “omg I never saw that message! 😱 “

    Deleting your own stuff is easy and okayed because it’s not an easy process and it involves multiple steps.

  • Do normal people mute the ads or just let the television keep going?

    Jump

  • I mute them unless I’m interested.

    Most ads are obnoxious and feel like I’m getting a headache listening to the same repetitive, obnoxious voices/music.

  • It’s one of those things you have to try homemade, unfortunately. The only restaurant I somewhat trust is my aunt’s restaurant and even then it’s still not as good as homemade! But it comes close.

    I’ll send you an invite next time we have one lol

  • Gumbo. My mom made it a few times and I always hated it. Turns out she wasn’t making it correctly until I had my extended family make it the way our family did from Louisiana and now I can’t get enough of the stuff.

    My family goes all out on gumbo, making a pot that will cost around $400 (pre-pandemic pricing, not sure how much it went up since) but have every little thing everyone wants from shrimp and sausage to chicken and all the little fixings in it.

  • I love seeing all the people get mad that they can’t do this now that my local city has effectively banned visitors during flower season :)

    You can still see it from afar, but a bunch of people got mad because they drove over two counties to trample and crowd the flower fields for their own selfish desires only to find that the area has been blocked off completely to cars and people.

    Get fucked in the nicest way possible. Enjoy it from a distance like a normal person so everyone else can enjoy it and so the damn flowers can keep coming back each year.

  • When I was younger, my imaginary friend’s name was Tony. Couldn’t tell you what he looked like though.

    But I couldn’t stop laughing the first time I saw this on Malcolm in the Middle https://youtu.be/LQCzejDV7cY?si=R-smlPQ-HpPN0zD3 because I did have a weird fascination with that name as a kid.
