Many of us also lived through the era where any 13 year old could steal Mommy’s credit card and rent a botnet for that ezpz

My MC server a decade ago was tiny and it still happened every few months when we banned some butthurt kid

Bruh, what?

Are you seriously implying this is the only pose you could use to show that off?

No, don’t put words in other people’s mouths. Just because you read it as sexual does not mean that was the intention

Mansplain

Nobody’s been condescending but you, motherfucker.

her in a pose with tongue out

Yeah, so you can see the logos forming the pattern of the face buttons on the pills.

This is highlighted by the fact she is looking up, with the camera focused on her face.

becausw she’s getting high, this is really common “being high” imagery. That’s even why it looks slightly sexual: orgasms are just a different kind of high.

but I’m sure as hell not going to tell a woman she’s not allowed to be offended by sexualization of another woman to sell Playstations.

Nobody said she can’t be, they just pointed out her reasoning doesn’t really hold much water, because it doesn’t. People can feel however they want about something, none of us can stop them.

has just enough customization options ootb

Mints biggest crime is not having a Mint-Y dark mode despite so many people asking for it if you Google.

Best theme, bright mode only. Criminal.

kinda feel like those individuals shouldn’t be allowed to use computers to do their jobs. If you can’t master just pass the basics, sorry. Here’s a pencil and a pad of paper.

My wife had her HR rep get pissed at her just yesterday for sending an email to her boss and other higher-ups asking why assistant managers at her company can’t use the computers theyre on all day properly. She had asked for a screenshot of something so she could see what the other person was seeing and they replied with “I can’t do that idk how” and thought that was acceptable?

Luckily the other higher ups told HR to shut up and that she was only mad because it’s her job to ensure basic computer literacy and she clearly didn’t.

People 100% get into the mindset that “well, I already know the basics, so anything I don’t know is advanced user shit so I can’t learn it” and it’s infuriating

Ctrl+D to deselect is stupid.

Lol

My man GIMP is the only software I’ve ever seen that doesn’t use CTRL+D for deselect

I think your issue with Linux and the terminal might be your horrid grip on the written language and not a Linux problem

Adding warnings will only result in annoying people, not driving for improvement.

Given how poorly adoption has gone so far this might be the only way to get actual fast support rolled out. Piss people off, get change

For both 2 & 3 the answer is the same:

Having Mint and Windows on the same machine will end up with a completely fucked boot drive if you’re not super careful.

When I installed Mint on an NVME I installed specifically for it, either it or windows decided that the boot info should be placed on my SSD with Windows and not on the same NVME as mint (as I wanted, as windows was literally just a dead data drive to me at this point that happened to be bootable), so when it came time for the wipe and swap of drives I suddenly couldn’t boot anything

Minor headache to get boot repair rolling and get everything set up properly to the partition I’d made on the NVME, but the googling I did to fix this taught me that Mint and Windows Dual-Boot is a question of “when and what will fuck Up” rather than “if it will”

My advice would be to just read carefully what’s happening when you do drive shit and to keep a working boot USB for mint (should do this anyway, but keep it updated) for at least as long as you’re dual booting. Boot repair WILL save you, its very easy to use, and remember the words emblazoned on that amazing book: Don’t Panic

No, but you’re gonna scare away a lot of people who don’t wanna bother with it

This never ceases to amaze me.

My old best friend and I used to be a programming tag team that worked pretty well; he’d slap together w semi-functional version of the idea we had and then id go in and make the UI make sense and fix all the logic bugs and typos.

I’m not saying I’m some perfect UI guru or anything but the way he (and other people I’ve met) seem to have no internal base knowledge of shit like “similar settings probably shouldn’t go on completely opposite sides of the screen under different menus” or “5-deep nested drop-down menus hurt people’s souls”

Sorry, but no

I used GIMP FIRST and almost all the shit people say about it being unintuitive were still true. I struggled with it and bitched to my Linux loving friend about it and he just laughed and said “yeah everyone says that”

Market share is going to be a pretty bad metric for this kind of thing because businesses and government are going to stick with even old ass windowsnl installs long after any normal user would have at least upgraded, if not moved to Linux.

Just in my office alone there’s got to be at least 50 PCs running windows, and I bet half of the people here don’t even have a machine at home, so that’s 75 PCs or so amongst just me and my co-workers, and even if every assumed worker went Linux today we’d still be at over 50% windows market share of people who work at my office.

So like, unless multiple businesses and governments that have shown to not care already suddenly decide to were never going to see 50% adoption

Unless we stop including businesses and similar in that share stat.

My SYNOLOGY NAS that’s just shy of being used for too much stuff (96% CPU means I’ve got 4% left babyyyy) is, was, and will forever be: Senpai.

That way people (my wife and parents) notice it in the network list.

Funny enough I’ve had more issues with AMD drivers on my Windows machines than I ever have with nVidia on my Linux installs

Literally just changed to a different version by menu with nVidia a week ago when a text bug came up. Only issue on 2 different Linux installs with nVidia over the years.

Compared to ~8 years ago when I had to HUNT DOWN a veeeery specific driver version or my AMD GPU was like “lol idk how to be a GPU” on Win8 (or we’re we using 20 by then I can’t be assed to Google it), and even then it whined constantly and did weird shit

Of course AMD is fine now, wife’s GPU installed no issue and it’s from the same manufacturer, but still funny to me

Me last night after extolling the virtues of the OS to my wife, trying to figure out why upping my refresh rate results in completely fucked text in Linux Mint

So far I’ve gathered that it’s probably a similar issue to what half-rate shading does on the Steam Deck, but the fix or why it’s even doing it in the first place currently eludes me

E: if anyone else has a similar issue and is on an nVidia card: try the most recent driver, not the recommended one. If that doesn’t work, maybe the older one then? If still not god help you cuz the first idea worked for me

It’s not to stop you from abusing their systems but to stop scam victims from being screwed

One easy example is that you can get around the “no screenshots” lock many bank apps use with root, allowing you to potentially expose security vital information to people.

Should those of us who know what we’re doing be allowed? Maybe.

But it’s there to protect the old people who will run the .exe that’s designed to root their phone and then let them hand over data that would otherwise be locked down so that doesn’t happen just because someone called them and said they’re from the bank.
