Acht, nae fairies! Pictsies! Nae flitty flitty

Sometimes I’m scrolling and my thumb gets lazy and goes sideways and I upvote or downvote things unintentionally.

It’s the only explanation that makes sense

Every society needs a cry like that, but only in a very few do they come out with the complete, unvarnished version, which is “Remember-The-Atrocity-Committed-Against-Us-Last-Time-That-Will-Excuse-The-Atrocity-That-We’re-About-To-Commit-Today! And So On! Hurrah!

Ya it’s in the name. Google is synonymous with tracking and lack of privacy. Just another bit we give up to live in the most advanced and free country in the civilized world, governed by it’s its citizens and not a conglomerate of corporate overlords selling our minds by inches.

Yup.

Ah, I see you also have that’s Gboard

(I literally swiped “ghosts Gboard” twice to get the advice above. Oh look, it happened again)

I would watch this episode of Black Adder

Clearly, based on your responses, you don’t think AI/LLMs are universally bad. And anyone who is that easily swayed by what is essentially a clever shitpost likely also thinks the earth is flat and birds aren’t real.

You know. Morons.

I appreciate it <3

If cats looked like frogs we’d realize what nasty, cruel little bastards they are. Style. That’s what people remember.

Edit: FYI this is from Terry Pratchett’s Lords and Ladies, the same book that OP paraphrased

Senpai remembered me :3

Just stay away from nvidia on Linux and you are golden.

I’m sorry but this is the kind of condescending bullshit that pushes me away from Linux

I got a 3070TI for half off MSRP for open box in the middle of the crypto bubble, and I’m not buying another GPU until I absolutely have to.

You want more people to embrace Linux? Make it work on startup without jumping through a bunch of hoops, on the hardware we already own.

Your lived experience with Windows is yours, and I’m glad you have a system that works for you. I don’t have the time or mental energy to learn, not just a new OS, but also all of the bugs that go with it.

Look, I get it. I’m putting my apprentice in my old work van, and as I’m looking at the old heap I’m remembering all the little quirks it has that I’ve developed blind spots for. Blind spots they don’t have. Quirks that are actually problems. I know there are problems with windows that I ignore because I know how to work around them. I know the workarounds because I’ve been using Windows since 3.11. I didn’t have that experience with Linux, and neither does my wife. A woman who once nearly bricked our computer falling for an Indian call center scam.

When this rig bites the dust, I’ll probably build a Linux gaming box and just tell her to get used to the OS. For now, we’re using Windows

Also HP is shit and I’d gladly put any HP exec in the hospital if I met them

That would be me.

Tried Ubuntu 15 years ago, but couldn’t because Nvidia driver issues, and haven’t tried again

Look, dudes, I’m bootstrapping a small business while trying to manage ADHD. I can barely get two hours of admin work done in an eight hour day. I just need things to work. I’d love to walk away from Windows but I don’t have the mental bandwidth for that shit

And even if I did, my wife and I share a gaming computer/media center. There’s nothing like having her call me in the middle of a workday because my VPN is keeping her from logging into PBS so that she can watch Grantchester. Imagine the headaches if I installed a new OS.

Much like improving my physical fitness, I have the desire, but not the will

Dunno about first, but the top of the list is Zero Hour, as part of an Airplane! marathon

for hundreds of thousands of years.

Just how old are you!?

Gemüt brewery in Columbus Ohio has a black shirt with matching lettering that says “Helles Real”

I love it

Can i just thank you so very much for that amazing etymology summary you just made? I can’t even grammar right now, love it!

Oh cool, i see your using Gboard and not editing it’s nonsense a week. It really frustrating going back and editing all of the mistakes it makes, so i just have up. Life is much simpler for me now, although others can’t really understand me all of the time. But that’s their problem
