It takes a first grade reading level to draw the correlation between illegal prisons camps and concentration camps. Everyone else got there but you. Read a history book.

We don’t negotiate with terrorists.

Ubuntu is absolutely a beginner friendly OS. If I give a computer to somebody that knows nothing more than how to turn it on, Ubuntu will be no more difficult for that person to surf the internet than it would be in Windows. I’ve been teaching people how to use their computers for more than half my life and the vast majority of problems are ignorant people on Windows. Linux isn’t inherently more difficult to use, it’s just different. For adept Windows users, switching and expecting to be just as familiar is where it gets more tricky.

Same thing here. There was a big update earlier this year that made it so I can use Wayland, where before that, it was impossible. At this point, I can’t tell you the last time I’ve had any GPU related issues. Further, I believe that Nvidia is now working with Linux for driver support, so it should get even better going forward.

I thought I saw or read that their special forces were using snorkels to sneak in the water. I know that doesn’t answer your question, but I wanted to pile on a little.

It’s negotiating 101. Open with the hoop dream so the next option isn’t near as bad. If you get your first option, you win, and if you get the second option, you win a little less.

I kind of figured that’s how this process worked, and I’m glad you mentioned it. Now I really hope that you’re right and that there’s no way around it.

Now supply a whole shit load of long range missiles before January.

Yea. You don’t get to charge for the service and push ads. It’s an either or situation. To do both is an immediate disqualifier for me. I already pirate what I want from Prime, even being a member as well. If Youtube premium starts doing ads, I will drop that, return to music piracy or find an alternative less shitty music service, and find a different front end for YT to still get to my subscriptions without ads. I have a sub for the music, but stay for the YT.

You left out, “convicted rapist”.

Yea, because it was definitely the liberals that elected Trump. Harris was not the best option, but any moron that thought not voting for her was the best option this past election, and is now pissing and moaning about Trump winning, are arguably dumber than Trump supporters.

Are you talking about that guy that is almost as well known for biting off Hollyfield’s ear as he is for his boxing prowess losing dignity from making 20 millions dollars playing the sport that he loves regardless of the effort?

I’m thinking at this point he can’t un-ring that bell. Maybe he has a stroke and pulls a reverse Fetterman, or better yet, has a stroke and pulls a Winston Churchill.

Yea, lots of things did happen, and most of them were bad. The people that I’m referring to that “could change” things are the republicans that could use their votes to stop tyranny, but none of them did.

I hope that you’re correct that we will see change from this, but I don’t agree with you that Musk is going to fade into political irrelevance and that JD will sunset Trump.

I’m gonna call bullshit on this. For years now, I’ve been reading articles just like this one, and at the end of the day, nobody that could change anything did a fucking thing. It’s just posturing and means nothing.

If I were using Manjaro right now, at the first opportunity, I would be switching to something else. Too much enshitification happening everywhere, and people need to start voting with their “wallets” to stop these greedy fucks.

Are you trying to gatekeep Linux to only power users that use a CLI, are way above the average in computer literacy, and happen to know the nuances between Linux and other operating systems?

This is the kind of thinking that will prevent adoption to the masses. Linux doesn’t have to be stupid hard to use. There are specific distros like vanilla Arch for advanced users to tinker with and options like Manjaro and Ubuntu that are ideally functional out of the box for those that just want something to work.

What Manjaro is doing here is dumb AF, and should rightfully be heavily criticized, but you statement feels like your saying you should have to be a computer expert to use any Linux distro, and that’s dumb.

Sorry, I’m talking about Trump. I’m saying he should cry and that he’s a bitch.

Cry, bitch.

Edit: Bitch == Trump

Some of us did, a lot actually. Unfortunately, the stupid outweigh the rest.
