I’m still gonna have to dual boot for the foreseeable future, but I force myself to usually boot mint unless I want to play any vr/multiplayer/racing games (which is often, unfortunately). But I do really enjoy how much you can do in linux and learning it.

Yep seems common among that age

Yet my libertarian centrist friend INSISTS that AI is great for humanity. I keep telling him the billionaires don’t give a fuck about you and he keeps licking boots. How many others are like this??

By design. Soon ms won’t allow you to even have the OS installed, it will only be internet accessible (no internet=no pc usage) so they can steal more data for free.

Can confirm. Made many sparkler/aerosol can boom.booms

Do you guys also keep a notepad file on your desktop with all the usual commands and shortcuts on it? I can’t imagine remembering them all otherwise… and I kind of cringe at the non stop DDG ing I have to do to do some basic liux stuff.

Right, and subaru stupidly quit making the wrx wagon in 2014, no idea why. There’s also the appeal of early 2000s gm, dirt cheap and easy to fix. Like an 03 Tahoe. Just not good on gas. You can find some of those in an I5 though which is cool.

In complete agreement. I hate crossovers so much.

Have you looked at this wagons or Volvo wagons ? Or just a good old tacoma or tundra long box ?

This is why I go the extra mile to keep iot out of my life. Especially in cars , which is getting hard, but I figure my future cars I’ll likely retrofit something old. Newest I’ll tolerate is 2014, with no touchscreen.

Ah, good for you for trying!! I’m sure it’s hard, those trash games are made to be addictive…as have games always been really, but the evil was hidden better and they didn’t have the ability to track your every move.

Dude it’s sad what kids are subject too now. Endless ad spam and shit games. They’ll always be corpo brainwashed.

Sad how far they’ve fallen. I used to think new tech was cool. Now it’s depressing.

I keep telling people to quit buying this shit and stop using corporate social media. But they’re scared that lemmy is a virus (shrug) and only trust daddy google and apple

Wonderful read! Why was early computing so fun…I wasn’t even around for it so it’s not nostalgia. I think it was just better.

Common elite dangerous rule

I am in love. You should be paid for doing this

This is amazing. I am so excited

There’s unfortunately no possible way for the government to solve this issue. They can’t go door to door and take people guns. And people won’t willingly give them up because then they are vulnerable to attack. It’s sadly unsolvable. Higher regulations for new purchases would help but thathat doesn’t stop all the existing weapons.

It’s so crazy. Literally anyone can go to a store and buy one. I no joke saw a store the other day called “Dave’s guns” and the logo was the American flag on a cross. Reminds me of a certain quote regarding facism.

It’s scary knowing everyone else has guns, however the good news is, everyone on the correct side of history can also buy them…

I love cars (own several) and most are over 20 years old. Why? They were better. Smaller. Less tech. Better looking. Not controllable by your government/corporation (Elmo TeSSSla). I hate almost every new bloated rolling ad infested garbage i see now.
