This is something people around the world need to understand.
All the developed countries with plummeting birth rates should be actively competing for citizens.
Though for non-US nations they are already getting some help from our self-imposed brain drain.
Every once in a while I will try something like degoogled chromium because hey it’s probably a bit faster or works in a few more places.
But then nope, right back to librewolf. It works on everything I need it to work on, and I use the browser all day. I use Linux at work so all the Microsoft suite like outlook, teams, and onenote are webpages.
He slew two white whales in the same building!
Looking at it like a team sport is pretty silly, yeah, but I’m still willing to use Steam just the same. No billionaire or successful corporation is “my” people, but doing business with the ones that are decent to their customers seems fine.
Gaming generally involves paying money for proprietary software anyway, so that’s not a realm where the existence of any DRM is a showstopper for me personally. Any per-game DRM with heinous kernel-level shit such that it won’t run on Linux at all, that stuff is fine to just not exist in my world.
From what I’ve watched & read, it’s usually depicted as the freeze plug melts and the liquid salt flows into multiple small holding tanks below it. That way the fuel mass will be physically separated, which helps stop fission on top of any other mitigations like lining the containers with neutron absorbers, etc.
Mint is Ubuntu with the icky proprietary Canonical stuff removed and with an extra layer of polish.
Mint Cinnamon even has a windows-like desktop/taskbar-like setup out of the box. I don’t know of any reason I might recommend somebody replace windows with Ubuntu rather than Mint.
Do rich Republican donors really support this crap?
Even if we ignore the whole “give a shit about humans” thing, have the parasites that rely on exploiting the labor of others for their existence looked at birth rates in the developed world lately? Fighting over a shrinking labor pool generally means they can demand higher wages. They should be welcoming every person who will voluntarily move here.
And the rank and file useful idiots might want to think about any sliver of a chance they have to get things like social security.
Don’t forget national forest loggers!
They probably care less about whether it is true, and more about whether they can get their buy in before everybody else.
That’s such a nice thing about Linux and FOSS in general. The issues you run into are different than what you may be used to with Windows, but at least the system and its developers aren’t working against you.
Heck yeah. Once in installed Mint on my PC at home, it was only a matter of weeks before I double checked my backed up files and nuked my windows partition.
I still have the windows partition at work that I never use, and I have heard some bad stories about machines getting wiped when IT upgrades people to win11, so it might just have a little accident in its sleep.
Yeah, work is where they get you. I’m fortunate to be able to use Linux at work too, but the company is still paying for my M365 account which I use in a browser for meetings and communication.
This year presents a big opportunity for many of us to get user friendly Linux distros on family members’ PCs that are currently running win10 and not able to upgrade to 11.
I’m already a Linux Mint fan so that’s right where I’m headed.
The Enola Gay becomes the Elon Straight!
Or, to be the correct amount of condescending and dehumanizing, the “Elon Normal.”
Glad to have any good vibes we can get!
What I had in mind while making that comment was past stories of establishments putting blue light bulbs in their bathrooms to make it harder to find veins. :/

Hey now, try to see the silver lining: Since we underpay our teachers and then also expect them to spend their own money on supplies and beg the class parents for the rest, that means SOME of the teachers are still there because they’re passionate about it!
My son is in 2nd grade and we have had some great luck with teachers so far, but we are not a very “at risk” school district compared with the average.
Maybe some people want to stick their heads in the sand so badly, and others want to cover it up so much, that it requires a horrific image to break through the barriers and burn itself into people’s minds.
Seriously this. I’ve been to other places that have it figured out (Sweden in my case) and it is better in every possible way.
Well, unless you are a landlord who wants the up-front construction costs of the restrooms to be as cheap as possible regardless of how it will affect the decades of use. Or if you live in a country with no healthcare and can’t let people have privacy in the restroom because you’re afraid they’ll OD in there.
They lost millions, you say? I took a look and since Nazi Salute Day the value of Tesla has dropped on the order 500,000 million dollars.
