It’s quickly turning into another Parler or Truth Social

FYI if you decide to dual boot at some point you can set Windows to use UTC. It’s even less intuitive than how systemd can be set to local time.
Also if you can, if you decide to dual boot I recommend separate drives. Windows has gotten nicer but it still doesn’t play well with others because, let’s be honestly, most of the time it doesn’t have to. So if you run recovery if Windows doesn’t boot, it’s not unusual for it to nuke EFI like it’s still the 90s and Win98 just nuked LILO.
I went a few years with just a single boot system at home and you definitely learn a lot that way lol
I was looking at Twitter earlier, and my feed was full of antivaxxers, election deniers, some anti-abortion activist that claims that Planned Parenthood is involved in sex trafficking, and even 9/11 deniers.
Twitter is a dead man walking
Decades ago I was at the Visitors Center for the Western band of Cherokee and this woman was giving a talk next to a campfire, and the wind kept shifting. She kept moving and finally coughed and then apologized for the smoke blowing in everyone’s faces.
There was another guy there who was clearly hitting on her, and he said, “they say smoke follows beauty.” With comedic timing the wind shifted and blew the smoke towards him, and she, quick as lightning, said, “Smoke follows wind.”
(And in case you don’t know, in American English when someone is “windy” they talk a lot and don’t say much)
“But who do I sue” is also why it took so long for Linux to catch on.
But who do I sue. I hate America so much sometimes.
Oh lort. You just gave me flashbacks. One of my kids bought one of those $200 Chuwi laptops and it would barf all over itself about once a month, so badly it would require a reinstall.
PSA: Word isn’t layout software, it’s a WYSIWYG document editor. You can change settings to make it work more like layout software, but it’s better to use a layout tool if you need that.
Recently I switched to using Affinity Publisher because it did everything I needed from InDesign. The only problem being, if I want to share files with anyone, I have to make sure they also have Affinity Publisher.
A little scary to contemplate since some of the code comes from the NSA
Just going to tell the story that I broke one of the cardinal rules of PCMR by drunkenly pointing out the origin of “master race” when someone in a PCMR thread was going on about some other group being offensive and how PCMR was so much better.
It’s always been tongue in cheek; it’s meant to be a statement that PCs are superior to consoles. At a certain point it seems like PCMR just turned into talking about PCs. And that’s fine. The sticky thing about it is, if it’s not about jokingly talking about PCs being superior, does it need to be PCMR? On the other hand it’s dang near a brand at this point. Can you move a PCMR audience over to something else entirely?
So…do we know if Reddit iself is behind flooding subs with comments about how mods are being jerks and hurting the communities pointlessly? It’s weird, the same kinds of comments in every sub I’m in. Also lots of comments about how Lemmy is too complicated. 😆
That’s what bugs me about modern phone design, though. They could put Otterbox-type protection right on the phone and that’d be fine for most people. Personally have an S23 and I think it’s unnecessarily ugly, thin, and easy to drop, when it’s not in a case.
