I don’t know about gnome, but on KDE you can disable touch support under settings>mouse & touchpad.

I’d stay home that way I’m not adding to societal problems.

Seriously though, the ONLY stipulations that should be put on UBI are:

1.) do you make over $100,000/year? This info is easily obtained from your W-2 that you are given every year for taxes.

2.) do you own a business? Once again easily obtained via public record and filing of your taxes via 1099 forms.

3.) are you over the age of 18? Once again easily verified through birth certificate dates via public record based on your social security number/resident green card (after 5 years of documented residency in the country. )

All this info is in government databases so there would be no concern of undocumented immigrants able to receive said funds or people getting more money because of having minors in there home.

You shouldn’t have to apply for it, hence the term universal.

Actually yes, if we didn’t wear shoes all the time. The bottom of your feet will be more hardened from calluses where it meets the ground. Think about it this way, when we are kids we run around shoeless most of the time. For all intents and purposes, shoes have ruined our feet. Either by crushing them together, like women’s pointed shoes and men’s cowboy boots as an example, as well as allowing the soles of our feet to soften. As a kid I used to run up and down gravel roads and driveways barefoot without a care in the world, now the bottom of my feet can’t handle stepping on gravel without shoes.

It’s idiots like this that make me embarassed to be from Iowa originally. Sovcits are such idiots. They seem to think driving is a right not a privelidge. IMHO, they shouldn’t even be allowed to own a car.

It appears that has been corrected. As of 0810 central daylight savings time U.S.

I’ve been on Linux for 20+ years and have never had to rely on paid for support. The paid for support is really geared towards professional big business work stations and server stacks. If you need support for Linux you can find free support on their forums 99% of the time. It’s the IT departments with lazy techs that rely on Linux paid support.

You are right about the Micro$uck hate though. Why should I pay to use an operating system on a computer I buy and use until it’s reached it’s EOL when I can use Linux to do everything you do on windows and I don’t have to pay for the software? In today’s economy, it makes sense to use Linux.

Does this person really need a drivers license? My answer is a hard no!

The creators are making money from the ads, they probably won’t abandon ship at yt unless they stop making revenue. A lot of the creators on yt rely on the ads to be worthwhile in creating the content.

I agree, yt is getting stupid with their ads, from what I understand they are now including ads in the yt premium subscription aervice, which is supposed to be ad free mind you.

As long as greed dictates content, creators won’t abandon ship, unless they can have ads on the alternatives to make money on.

The ArchWiki is the best source to use when it comes to Linux as it’s documentation can be used on just about any Linux OS.

The key is to make sure you use the right OS’ command structure to complete what you are doing. i.e using the correct commands for package manager and correct package naming scheme.

However, iirc the article stated this affected her phone service too. If it hadn’t been for her cell phone she could have been in jeopardy if something happened and she couldn’t call out.

That does make it an issue in which it could be declared as criminal endangerment of the elderly. This in turn would cost them a lot more than a techs pay.

Don’t forget the pedophiles that work in the Catholic Church as priest they take a vow of celibacy so they think they can groom and rape the little boys.

And yet they think their going to heaven as they preach. Sick perverts. Like they said on that one episode of the Simpsons. God pointed out to homer that the clergy members aren’t allowed in heaven.

I looked it up and corrected my post. Had to change Vivaldi also as it is opera fork.

I honestly thought you were talking about the “opera is owned by china” fud

I keep hearing this but can’t find any basis for this

I forgot about that one. But a lot of people on the web won’t use it since it’s not as “innovative as the others” to them.

I remember those days. For that matter I remember when the internet didn’t exist. You wanted to talk to more than one person we had party lines on the landline phones and you had to know who you were talking to in order to call or add them to it.

Well that leaves Firefox (and it’s forks, too many to list) and safari to choose from.

Chrome, brave, edge, opera, vivaldi and a few more I can’t remember are based on chromium

Edit: realized my mistake about opera and vivaldi

Funny how we can’t go to heaven for all these “sins” and yet the Bible stars that Jesus died for all out sins before they happen.

Once again the Bible is proven as a joke. I hate how they believe the fairy tales in the book, but they won’t believe what is right in front of there eyes. Friggin bigots.

It might of had a snapshot being created. If you have snapper or similar running, it will make the snapshot of the system prior actual install. This could be, not saying it is, what the issue is.

Also I have personally found that SD cards can actually be inhibited by USB controllers that the computer is using. I have a older computer with 1 USB 3,0 slot and the rest are 2.0. Which, incidentally, uses the 2.0 controller as it is based on the 2.0 USB technology.

I don’t have that fine of motor control to do that. Hell have the time with my mouse I click the wrong thing because I accidentally jerk the mouse during clicking

The problem with the US is even if we had a consumer lobby, which I don’t think we do, we would be overrun by the big corporate lobbies in a matter of seconds.

The only people that get listened to by our government are those who have the big money to control members of congress. We are supposed to have a government for the people by the people but instead we have a government for the rich by the rich.

Those of us that don’t have billions of dollars don’t have a voice, even though they claim to listen, they don’t unless you can line their pockets with a few $100,000 thousand dollars a month.

Our government official don’t care about us, they care about money and how to get more of it.
