Interesting, I’m not sure I fully believe what either side is saying but it does sound believable that what’s going on is being exaggerated.

Are the uyghurs secretly huge capitalists or something? I’m capable of disliking both US genocides and Chinese genocides at the same time

Technically isn’t perfume usually alcohol based not water based?

Torx is definitely the best, it holds the screwdriver the best and a torx screwdriver also works to remove other screws with stripped heads

I wish I was better at learning languages. I know barely enough spanish that I think I could sort of communicate and a tiny bit of russian but it would be so fun to actually be able to speak them.

2026 will be the last year as we’re going to switch to a rolling release model

Are broadcast licenses even “very valuable” anymore? I think I know maybe one person who regularly watches broadcast tv. Not that that means he should take them away, I just feel like it isn’t nearly as big a threat he thinks it is

Games too:

Scania Truck Driving Simulator: The Game

Like wow thanks I thought it might be the movie

The only other one you can put on that machine is Linux.

Not true, I know first hand OpenBSD works fine (at least on my AMD FW13, but I’m sure it works on the others too) and I’m sure the other BSDs do too. I’m not recommending a new user use those, just pointing out the original statement is wrong.

Dijon and horseradish are the best

You know, I think if I was in this situation I would just wear the shirt inside out

I mean I think anything you do that makes enough money to be worth it is just a job at that point right? Like you could start streaming on twitch or something, but once you start making money from it, it becomes a job.

I feel like mozilla could switch to making all their decisions by flipping a coin and do better than they’re doing in recent years

I just use Typst for everything these days, but if you really want a gui thing there’s always the web version of google docs and ms office

Is dual booting really that common? Whenever I need to test something on windows I just use a vm

Earlier this year I collected virtually every photo I’ve ever taken from every device I own and put them on my immich server and it was so worth it. I spend so much time looking at my old stuff now that it’s all there. If anything I think having easy access to take and view photos just lets you connect to them more because you can so easily go back to any point in your life

This means you’re actually in hong kong currently but don’t yet realize it

Anyone can learn to use an office suite on their own in very little time so there’s no reason to teach it. Being able to use the command line is a valuable skill that makes you a way better computer user no matter what you’re doing and it’s one that a lot of people are missing these days. I don’t think you can really say you know how to use a computer if you can only use it in the very specific ways someone happens to have made a gui for

It’s crazy that under 2 years ago I got like twice the memory for my laptop I had intended to because it was so cheap I just figured why not.

I feel like using the command line should really be a basic skill taught in school. That would be way more worthwhile than teaching people how to use like microsoft office
