because you found it funny

The helium makes it float, so they got a guy to rub his spit on the rocket using his finger, but that process takes a long time so we’re just refilling the rocket in the meantime until we find it.

I tried installing Arch once about 10 years ago. I couldn’t get it to work even though I admittedly didn’t try my hardest. I was in a PhD program at the time, so my mental resources and time were quite limited. Still, I had real experience as a sysadmin, so I wasn’t entirely computer illiterate. Every time I see a potential user switching to Linux asking for distro recommendations and others suggests Arch, I internally roll my eyes. Unless that user is a computer programmer or similar looking to prove their skills to themselves, that is a great way to get someone to never switch to Linux because they will more than likely become overwhelmed with the installation.

If you are switching to Linux for the first time and don’t want to spend a frustrating week reading a wiki and troubleshooting lots of minute but consequential issues, don’t start with Arch! Linux Mint is by far the easiest for new users. Give it a run for a while until you feel like switching to more demanding distros.

totally normal behavior for an organization /j

Eugh

What is does that mean? Is that an expression of frustration like “ugh” or “argh”?

The two things that appeal to me about the folding phone are (1) protecting the screen from scratches, especially in my pocket or backpack and (2) that when folded, I wont accidentally touch the screen in a way that will register as a click or swipe. The last one in particular is super annoying to me. However, it doesn’t seem like the technology is ready for this yet since it sounds like the folding mechanism breaks easily. And ofc, I never buy anything Apple.

This is one of my top two reasons for not using Windows. Wth can I not put the panel where ever the hell I want?? So freaking frustrating how they control what you can do just in terms of user preferences. Or like, why can’t I click on whatever window I want regardless of a prompt being open. “Oh you took a screen shot and want to save it, but you need to look at the site to remember the name? lol, fu.” Unbearable.

Fyi, the other top reason is that they shove a bunch of garbage in that I don’t want, like that Cortana bs they did a few years back. No thank you.

awwwww beansssssss :(((

GTFO here! That is sooooo much more inconvenient since it will block the view of anything you have open on that screen, and it just feels completely odd. wowwww.

I’d love to do the Am track one day looks like a great way to see it all.

I have wanted to AmTrak the country for like 18 years now. The thing is it’s just not an appealing experience for the cost. A trip from Florida to California would take 120 hrs/4.25 days one-way. That means that someone would need to take 9 days for a round trip if things match up perfectly. The other thing is that tickets can be quite expensive. The same trip is ~$550 one way. So, we’d have someone spending 7 vacation days and $1100 on transportation alone to sit on a train in coach for nearly the entire time without even getting to see their destination. Say you wanted to stay a week in California. There go another 5 vacation days for a total of 12 vacation days spent, with about half of them spent on a train in coach. You’d also have to add in the costs of staying and touring California, which can be fairly cheap if you know someone there or very expensive if you don’t.

Very few people in the US have the time off and the financial means to make this an appealing trip.

Linux Mint is the shit if you want a to have just a smooth seamless transition from Windows or a Linux OS that just works.

yooo, I haven’t used Win in a whileeee. did they move the start menu to the center of the panel?

if the car was running, the alternator would be charging the battery. would it be able to keep up with the drain of the fridge of just extend the time a bit?

satellites are orbiting

cool, thanks

have they banned Nazi and Confederate flags too?

I’m on KDE Neon, and the update jacked up the desktop, icons, kvantium, and dolphin configuration of one user account. If I use Wayland on the account that is fine, the keyboard and mouse start acting annoyingly funky. Also, it completely changed my login screen.

Can you imagine the impromptu party we would throw across the country if Trump were to die??

they’ve probably ran polls and figured out it would be worth it
