Anti-robotics is where the money is.

Penetrated. Tee hee hee

Kermit the frog, space invaders, ereader, a heart, liver, democracy, an atari style joystick, and a traffic light. There is so much packed in here.

And now the timeline is forked.

To expand on this Have you considered Matrix? It’s like IRC but encrypted AND includes a bridge to IRC so you can have the best of both worlds. https://matrix.org/ The most popular client here https://element.io/ though there are many others.

I think they mean the full path length. As in you can’t nest folders too deep or the total path length hits a limit. Not individual folder name limits.

I hate typing this because it gives Nestle the slightest shred of credit. Their pods are aluminum and recyclable. Keurig k-cups started off as non-recyclable plastic but have now switched to some kind of, apparently, recyclable plastic…supposedly. Doesn’t make the use of pods much better but it’s not nothing.

Not sure this is exactly what you meant but…available right now. https://store.planetcom.co.uk/products/astro-slide

Valve, is a platform. They have little reason to remove games themselves. But they do work with, and comply with, video game corpos doing this horse crap (not to be confused with horse armor which is also still crap). So they’re at least complicit. See OP.

The core issue is that “buying” on any of the platforms (except GOG) is not buying but leasing for a one time payment. While Gaben is pretty altruistic it’s only a matter of time until someone less so is in charge and decides X isn’t wanted anymore and then poof because the EULA (also subject to change at any moment) allows it.

Bets on this happening because he’s bought into “birds aren’t real”?

Suspiciously during the same hour there was no drink service either. The mile high club is alive and well.

This seems to apply to most of the upper midwest. Iowa, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Indiana, Ohio etc.

From Iowa, can confirm.

Where do I get this COD DLC?

I use messaging apps exclusively with my Android using friends and family. Can’t get my Apple using friends and family to use them. iMessage or the highway. Can’t take away the one wee thing that feeds their ego. Fuck everybody else right!? Maddening.

Siblings or parents picking up the phone causing a disconnect.

Whaaaat kind of parks were you going to!?

Nearly everyone forgets how hard windows was to learn initially.

I spent the better part of a child hood and the first 10 years of an IT career learning it. Does that sound like a simple or easy system? Conversely I’ve spent slightly less time but an equal 10 years of an IT career learning and supporting Linux. I’ve only recently in the last 3 or so years started to feel like I truly grasp Linux and started using it as a daily driver on personal machines.

I now find Windows absolutely horrible to work with. All the nonsense MS foists on it’s users. The inflexibility. The weird choices. The licensing nonsense.

The bottom line is not that Linux is harder. It’s that Linux is different and different is scary and uncomfortable. Different is hard, not linux. People are lazy and creatures of habit. We like familiar. Few of us actually enjoy the work of learning something new that isn’t easy. If we did more of us would probably be pilots or engineers or whatever hard thing to learn you want to choose.

If you’re into computers and you still find it hard or constraining keep at it. The Ah, ha! moment is coming. There’s a paradigm shift in thinking you’ll hit and suddenly you’ll get it. When you do you’ll find it’s magnificent and powerful and freeing.

I’m going to throw my hat in the ring for Pop_OS. The company that maintains it is focused almost exclusively on desktop use so it excels at this better than many other distros that have kind of a split focus on all the things. Their power manager is the best in terms of laptop battery management if you’re using a laptop. The distro is also flatpak focused. There’s even a utility in startup apps by default called “Flatpak Transition” which checks for deprecated deb packages and lets you know if there’s a Flatpak that satisfies it.

Updates seem to come fast but not as fast as a full rolling release. No major changes lately because, as others note, they’re working on a HUGE change to the distro to make their own DE. Rumors are circling this might come with a re-base of the distro off Ubuntu. Unfounded as far as I know but it would make a lot of sense.

I’ve been running Pop on my desktop and laptop exclusively for going on a couple years now. Rock solid.
