I actually think it works better with “a” in it because it gets me thinking about a Ford instead of just Ford. It helps my brain with the word play.
I honestly don’t think in needs the counter GM reference because that gets my brain thinking in the realm of cars, and I didn’t get why a GM would cross streams.
Google is an ad company.
They have found a new feature to offer to make people accept sharing more data.
This is exactly what they have done from the beginning. Same song, different verse.
I use both. For most services I use the service name in the email address. It’s for me, not them. I get to see who its from, who sold my data or got breached, or who got bought and changed their name. If I ever need to tell it to a real human they always think its odd and I simply say, that’s how I prevent spam and they light up because they are jealous I have zero spam (maybe 4 or 5 in the past 7 years and most went to my catch all)
For smaller services like my local pizza place, I use a randomized alias (I still put their initials in it to help identify it). The reasoning is that I have absolutely no trust that they have any kind of security on their website or janky payment platform, and I highly expect massive ad tracking from that platform. Side benefit is using burner email and phone number let’s me reuse one time coupons.
You’re not the only one. I’m not sure why I had such issues on mint but on other platforms it “just installed”.
Sometimes things aren’t as easy as they seem, or they aren’t documented well. Hence I like tutorials as another source (to be clear I say another source as we should always look at the source documentation)
Reminds me of the long tail joke about the racing snail with an S on the side. The punch line being " look at that S car go!"
I don’t see what you see. A million dad jokes hinging on a straight partner? I don’t see that. Most dad jokes have nothing to do with any relationship like that.
But I agree with your premise, if that joke exists and it can be told as a gay partner then its fine.
Yes. I agree. I was getting that from the context of the post, and I think that can be left up to the reader to maturely ingest and up/down vote.
Arguing that xyz people exist or not isn’t the point. Its a matter of if it is part of the joke or not. If “2 guys” are just 2 guys in a joke I don’t care what they are. They can be gay, straight, black, Jewish whatever. But if it becomes part of the joke, then the fact that they are gay makes it sexual which then makes it an uncle joke. If its based on heterosexual sexuality its then not a dad joke either. Same for ethnicity and religion and everything else “taboo”.
Again, I missed the original drama that started this, but its OK to segregate jokes into different categories and its also OK to not be too sensitive over gray area.
If the point of the joke involves mature topics they are uncle jokes, not dad jokes. There’s a place for both and I enjoy both.
Honestly if there’s any question or doubt then refrain from it here.
The flip side of that coin is that this is a text format so its not like readers can’t pick and choose what they choose to like and up/down vote. We’re not in a rigid world.
More likely because their teeth never stop growing they need to chew on hard objects to wear them down.
I’ve seen them chew on small rocks in my backyard, and right now I have one that keeps eating our plastic garden shovel and I caught her chewing on some decorative coral pieces we have in planters.
Gotcha. Yeah, it’s just a different workflow / mentality I am breaking through. On a laptop the track pad swipes are very natural to me. Whereas on desktop you hit the super key to bring up the main toolbar. Using a mouse I tend to think as point and click for everything which adds a lot of extra movement. Just learning curve on my end and figuring out what I like best (which I am leaning towards gnome at this point). I appreciate the comment though to make sure I knew my options, because it’s not always obvious.
I did not. But that’s basically because I had a similar solution with Mint’s Cinnamon. It’s not off the table, and I might test it out eventually. My computing needs and workflows are changing, and the dust hasn’t quite settled yet.
With that said, do you have any pros you like with plasma over gnome?
There’s multiple good answers in the comments but context can help.
Why do you need to stay on Win10?
Can’t update? Don’t want to update?
Personally I moved to Linux Mint about 2 years ago. My laptop I just switched to Fedora (I think the UI is great on laptops but not a fan on desktops).
Anything Windows exclusive I need to keep around (and there are many reasons but they are highly subjective) I run Windows in a VM.
On top of that, I use ameliorated.io to reclaim the OS as my own and have little issues as far as privacy or security. As such, I didn’t mind updating to Win11. The way the ameliorated version runs is essentially the same as 10. So I get a clean interface (no asinine menu system), secured with admin and user accounts, no telemetry, no bloat. I’m very happy with this setup. If I had to stay 100% on windows for some reason this is how I’d run it.
Yep, much cleaner.
