  • LG Update Installs Unremovable Microsoft Copilot on Smart TVs, Ignites Backlash

    Jump

  • Stallman outlined our choices and told us this is where we were headed back in the 1980's. Since then, we have consistently made the wrong decisions. All is not lost, but the situation is dire.

    The choices are there, you just have to be willing to inconvenience yourself.

  • You must understand: It's not your TV, it's LG's, and they will do with it what ever they want, and not to your benefit. This is the future we chose.

  • Is P=NP?

  • I have a truly marvelous demonstration of this proposition which this comment box is too narrow to contain.

  • [Support] - Suggestion on a linux distro for my old HP Pavilion Notebook (dualboot)

    Jump

  • Since you have experience with Mint, why not go with Debian with KDE Plasma? I have it on my laptop and it's Debian, old reliable, I like that stability on a laptop, so that I'm less likely to have issues on the go. Debian isn't the friendliest distro to new users, sure, but if you can figure out Fedora, you can figure out Debian.

  • In wake of Windows 10 retirement, over 780,000 Windows users skip Win 11 for Linux, says Zorin OS developers — distro hits unprecedented 1 million downloads in five weeks

  • Dude, you have a serious problem, man. That's way too much marijuanas.

  • After 9 Months on Mint I switched to Kubuntu and I'm loving it!!

    Jump

  • Oh yeah, KDE Plasma is where it's at. I love the DE. Glad you found something that works for you!

  • Snap out of it: Canonical on Flatpak friction, Core Desktop, and the future of Ubuntu

    Jump

  • Yeah, Canonical has been sketchy for a long time. And every now and then they make a move that just reminds me why I stay away from Ubuntu.

  • I Assumed 'Twas The Boot Code

    Jump

  • Yeah, that's how I do it every morning.

    Sometimes, when the ol' 'puter is cranky, I have to press the reset button, which is really small, and it's difficult to hit it with my toe (I have to do some tricky nail work, not for beginners), but I'll be damned if I ever reach down and use my fingers.

  • Everything has a bit of overlap

    Jump

  • Whoops, I made a typo. I'll leave it in.

  • Is this a programming of physics joke?

  • Which distro for a non-technical windows user?

    Jump

  • I'll throw my vote in with Fedora KDE Plasma. The fact you run it will absolutely help with any possible troubleshooting, and Plasma is IMO great for anyone coming from Windows. Fedora, from my experience, doesn't throw many curve balls your way either.

    Good luck with your friend's transition!

  • Oklahoma schools are bringing in teachers from Mexico to fill classrooms as the state struggles with teacher shortage

    Jump

  • Do you ever go out, and while you're out, you think, ‘this is exactly why I don't go out’?

    Jump

  • I can't go anywhere with noisy crowds. The sensory stimulation is too much for me. It's not fun feeling ready to snap at any moment. Anytime I try going to the wrong kind of places I will regret it, so yeah.

  • This brought to mind a collection of asshole admin stories from the early internet. With a bit of googling, it was The Bastard Operator From Hell. God, I haven't thought of those since the 90s. I can't believe I could even recall something like that.

    Anyway, fuck users.

  • After uproar, 'South Park' pummels Trump again and hits at JD Vance, Kristi Noem

    Jump

  • While I find this season hasn't been terribly well written or even all that funny, I really enjoy watching these episodes. In this time of instability and chaos, it feels somewhat cathartic to see them just go balls-to-the-wall with their insults on these absolute bastards. On a meta level, they seem to be dropping nuance to get reactions from their targets and even hoping to get sued, perhaps looking to shed light on some hypocrisy in their targets. Or maybe they are just Trey and Matt, frustrated at the current political situation and not inclined to give a fuck anymore. Cartman's confusion is probably just them acknowledging their difficulty parodying people whose entire life is a farce.

    The end credits were a fucking riot, though.

    Illegitimi non carborundum.

  • How does everyone deal with this dilemma?

    Jump

  • Here's a tip I learned so very long ago: Never shop hungry.

    That being said, I'm really careful about what I buy anyway and plan my purchases so that I end up using everything. Fresh foods can still spoil because I didn't spot a moldy spot, but that's pretty rare. Dried foods are great.

    Honestly I have little good advice to give aside from awareness and planning, since I am by nature perfectionist about my food and budgeting and can't relate to the meme.
