he hasn’t figured it out yet

lol

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’m in this picture and I love it

Thank you, i did wonder how punctuation was interpreted

This is really neat, thank you!

I have a question about image descriptions. (This isn’t a criticism of the description above)

I’m guessing these are for visually impaired people, so that their screen reader has something to read, and they can benefit from the post. In your description you include a skull emoji. Are those translated by the screen reader? Like, it would say, “…a shirt that says quote emo skull emoji end quote. The dialogue…” or something like that?

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

Wait, I thought the second picture was supposed to inferior to the first 🤔

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

Better than looking like Nobby

As the level of bastard in the sapient pearwood increases, the number of problems it can’t fix approaches zero

And we all know the Luggage is a complete bastard

♥️ thank you

Some problems can’t be trampled away, unfortunately

“So,” Nobby said, as he sidled up to the Librarian, “do you have any lady friends?”

“Ook.” the Librarian replied.

“I don’t think he’s talking about the cook,” a voice spoke from about twelve inches above the ground. “I think he means someone more personally important,” the voice snickered.

“Ook?”

“Yeah, you know, someone to share the bananas of life with. A comfort in troubled times.” Nobby stared wistfully into the middle-distance.

The Librarian gave a complicated multi-jointed shrug, as if to say in one gesture, “Why would I ever want to share bananas?”

As if called by a psychic connection, the pitter-patter of hundreds of feet could be heard as the Luggage trundled up beside the Librarian. The lid opened to reveal dozens of bananas in varying states of ripeness

“Ook!” the Librarian exclaimed, patting the Luggage amicably on the lid

“True enough,” said the voice near the ground, accompanied by furious scratching. “I could go for a sausage myself. Or even something from Dibbler.” A tail wagged hopefully in the direction of the Luggage.

I am elbow deep in SW5e, but this might actually distract me from that

Of course if I’m a PC in a discworld game there’s only one possible person I could play…

Gaspode the Wonder Dog

for hundreds of thousands of years.

Just how old are you!?
