This is that “liberal news media” that MAGAs keep yammering on about. The one that’s owned by six corporations.

Infosys founder Narayama Murthy has tripled down on his previous statements that 70-hour work weeks are what’s needed in India and revealed he also thinks weekends were a mistake.

Oh look. It’s this asshole again.

I recommend Linux Mint with the default Gnome/Cinnamon desktop. I think it’s the most “Windows-like” (You can add other desktops later on without having to reinstall anything. KDE Plasma is really nice). The installer found all my hardware for me and set it up, including my network printer. It installed my nVidia drivers (even gave me a choice of several with a ‘Recommended’ one at the top).

The LibreOffice suite is already included, which should take care of your productivity needs. (It recognizes and can read/write MS-Office documents). Thunderbird will take care of your email needs.

There’s also a utility called TimeShift, which works like Windows System Restore. Since you’ll be making a lot of changes the first month or so, it’s a great way to undo any screw-ups. Make sure you create a Restore Point before you do any serious fiddling. Even if you make your system unbootable, you can boot from a Linux Mint flash drive and run TimeShift that way, too.

Gaming is awesome. Steam has a native linux client, which uses a version of Wine called Proton, which has all the settings needed to run your games. Basically, everything I bought on Steam under Windows, runs in Linux. (NOLF 1 was the only game I couldn’t get to completely work. No music, I think the game uses DirectPlay for music, which no games seem to use anymore).

Microsoft added a CoPilot icon to my Windows 10 Taskbar yesterday. It looks to me like they’re not going to take “no” for an answer.

They also added a “it’s time to upgrade to Windows 11” full screen message on my login screen (with the option to decline in tiny text).

I switched to Linux Mint several months ago. Thanks to Proton, All my Steam games that I bought for Windows run great. (I’m using an nVidia RTX 3060). And any older games like “Deus Ex” or “Giants: Citizen Kabuto” run under Wine, using the default settings.

STFU Gabe, It’s been 15 years.

How about “genocidal assholes?” Can they still say that?

Windows only pretends to let you be the administrator, until Microsoft wants to do something shitty to you.

Linux actually makes you the administrator, so any screw ups are on you.

Yeah, just keep giving up power to Trump, GOP. He hardly needs you right now to do whatever he wants.

Carlson isn’t smart enough to pimp for coal or oil or by saying they were “sent by God.” He could grift a little money that way. But Tucker’s cheese slid off his cracker a long time ago.

And anyone stupid enough to believe this nonsense should have a decomissioned nuclear reactor set up in their village square. Then, they can all stand around it and beat it with sticks to “drive out the demons”. Win-win for everybody. It gives them something to do, where they’re not making life miserable for everyone else, and it gives us a place to store our nuclear waste.

Especially for a guy with a “Divine Plan.” Did God have to change his plan? For Donald Trump?

That’s the Fark squirrel. And we all know what it’s doing to Donald.

Proton is amazing. All the Steam games I bought in Windows run great in Linux Mint.

Especially in light of Microsoft CoPilot. You do not want obvious spyware on any computer.

Newt Gingrich? That fat turd from the 1990s?

Maybe he shouldn’t have called it “autopilot.”

And it sounds like he’s already having an affair. With Trump.

Make a list of companies that do this, so you don’t waste your time. Also, the quality/functionality of their website can tell you a lot about how seriously they take their business.

Pulling the lever for Trump is like hitting yourself in the balls with a sledgehammer.

DaFoe was amazing in “The Lighthouse (2019).”
