There are luddites in every generation.

I dual boot. It’s so painful to go back to windows but some work related software doesn’t run at all in Wine. Perhaps I should VM W10 or W11.

I know. I was being facetious.

IHNIWTM

My latest one was rq.

I thought it was a typo.

It stands for ‘real quick’.

Heck, I have a tech literate friend who can’t handle Linux but I think if you’re willing to be tech support like my husband is for his parents, the transition is easier.

I didn’t realise thinking about work was work.

This is my friend. Had a Steam Deck and couldn’t figure out Steam OS so they installed Windows on it instead. He’s very tech literate but somehow can’t grasp Linux. On the other hand, I’ve transitioned fine to Linux Mint.

Maybe it’s Crony capitalism instead?

Hmmmm… I prefer cold fusion and astrum.

Maybe in America, but in most other places homelessness isn’t demonised nearly as much (also America is probably the only place that will make you homeless if you get seriously ill).

I think somewhere in the Nordic states, they’ve trialled UBI in an area and I think with success.

Edit: So the results are a mixed bag, as you would expect, but generally people were much happier with UBI.

Hmmmm. Sounds like something UBI could solve.

It’s been going down hill since I turned 25. I’m just closer to the end of the ride now.

I showed this meme to my husband (who uses Arch, btw). He didn’t know what NixOS was and is now curious. What have I done?

“I’m disabled.”

But that’s why you take the rubbish home with you, where there is a bin. Where’s the end user responsibility?

Different country, different styles I guess.

For selfish reasons, I’d pick Love and Deepspace so I can frolick through time and space with 5 (soon to be 6) different boyfriends, hunting wanderers with superpowers.

And it’s so annoying! Bring back forums!

I think the key difference is that Xi has a very strong vision for China and is actually practicing what he preaches; enriching the nation rather than enriching himself. Like a strict father, head of the family.

While the debacle that is the US government is all about enriching themselves and their associates rather than the nation. Like goblins in a mine.
