But why would your question be “is this bad?” Just learn a little about it and decide for yourself.

My current laptop is an i7 with 16 GB of RAM. Hardware requirements have plateaued pretty hard unless your trying to run something that requires the latest GPU.

Oh I see, I’ve got it backwards.

I know nothing about how flatpak works other than that it’s containerized. But this meme tells me it’s the OS’s responsibility to create the flatpak, and not the developer’s? Is that right?

I feel like my tools should work together instead of having their parameters set individually. If I select something, it’s because I want to do stuff with it. Imagine hitting play on a video and then also having to hit play on the audio.

Did you ever get everything working? I don’t have a Mac, I’m just curious.

It should be legal to hunt that person down and clamp a lobster to their nipples.

In my personal experience, whenever I’ve needed help, people have been nice and tried to help. But, my questions usually include as much context and details as I can give and even my own guess as to what’s going on, if I have one. I try to make my requests for help as enticing as I can. “I didn’t do anything and now my computer is broken” isn’t a very interesting or scrutable request for help, so I can understand the frustration volunteers get when repeatedly faced with those kinds of questions.

I also feel like some parts of the community might be starting to recognize that, if we want Linux to become mainstream, it has to be absurdly idiot-proof and friendly to newcomers. Afterall, the vast majority of people don’t want their computer to be their hobby, they just want it to facilitate other things.

Hit me! I’ll probably fail, but I wanna try and help anyway.

I do with English would switch to phonetic spelling, including the eventi of the speaker, but we’re never going to switch. At least the standardized spelling does have a very minor advantage in terms of disambiguation with homophones. But then we had to go and mess up read/read and lead/lead.

NBA 2K has had ads in it for a while, though I can’t remember if they’re specifically in the loading screen or not.

“Hello, yes, IT department? I think my co-worker’s keyboard is missing all their punctuation marks. Yes, it’s making communication very difficult.”

So… Magic? I mean, sure, if we had perfect magic that knew who could and could not be trusted to use your gun, fine. In a practical sense, all you need to prevent other people from using your guns is a lock. I put a lock on my closet. If the aren’t under my supervision, they’re behind at least one lock.

This, but unironically. The right to personal weapons for self-defense should not be limited to firearms. There’s a bunch of reasons, including disability, why someone might need a weapon but can’t or shouldn’t use a firearm.

How do those guns work? I haven’t played the game.

You would think schools would be all for it, especially since Microsoft office is a subscription service now.

Mint Master Race.

There is absolutely no way in hell a bullet-proof cape is billowing in the wind.

Start installing malware on their machines that reminds them to call every once in a while.

I did NTFS because both windows and Linux can read it. Do I know literally any other fact about formatting systems? Nope. I’m pretty sure I don’t need to, I’m normie-adjacent. I just want my system to work so I can use the internet, play games, and do word processing.
