Just a nerd who migrated from kbin(dot)social.

  • I have a weird situation. I was a Windows user from 3.x to 10. I genuinely like Win9x, XP, and a lot of 7. I switched to Linux as my main machine with Mint because Cinnamon works like Windows. The only hassle I have is external display issues (X11 displayport stuff) - so I'm not looking at Cachy or KDE Neon or anything like that. But my gaming PC is Win11. It all works. Getting back to Windows, while there's some challenges, everything feels "right" again. 7-Zip, Notepad++, various games, it's all natural. I have trouble running arbitrary software on Mint, but Windows just runs every exe I throw at it. It works with my trackball and external display painlessly.

    Basically, they both work.

    Also, I disagree with the article author about the email client in the OS. I think that's bloatware and the results of Microsoft being monopolistic. Webmail works fine. If you want an email client locally, it's your choice. Then again I'd love to see what he says is better than Outlook - because it isn't Thunderbird.

  • Ah right, they're "too big to fail".

  • Yeah, it's taking too long.

  • How can we make them run out in mid-2026?

  • Pizza dude's got thirty seconds.

  • Self-medication is a normal response to mental hassles.

  • What can I say except thank goodness?

  • Almost half? nowhere near enough. We gotta get to it being "all".

  • Fair enough. I meant that the Faygo company isn't as deep in the ax-wielders as Timbs are in the rap community. They produce their full range still & sometimes make new flavors.

    They're still a good brand, is what I'm saying.

  • Cowabunga?

  • I like Faygo red pop tho. I'm glad the brand hasn't been dragged with the cult.

  • I think it started around the passing of the Statute of Anne in 1710, but probably earlier too. Copywrong has always been a problem.

  • My old laptop works well on Windows 10. Mint does about 99% of that and other stuff I don't do in Windows. The only thing that I miss is a multi monitor setup (and I've been told that CachyOS or KDE Neon would do it).

  • And, again, good morals. That matters to me in a company, honestly.

  • I think Little Caesars is a different category of takeout pizza. It's hot - and it's ready. And it supports a company with a business model and mindset that are more than just decent.

  • And if not, they have incentives to disenfranchise everyone who isn't 100% confirmed loyal.

  • Depends on the invaders and their goals, sadly.

  • 13? That sounds too old for the scumbag.

  • So tell Aldi.

  • Honestly, I'm most likely to ignore reviews by people in the PRC. At best, my interest will be to see if PRC reviews differ from US or European reviews, and lean towards games where the PRC is opposite of the West. I might also compare both to Japanese reviews.
