Napalm Death - You suffer.

I personally think it drags on a bit too long for karaoke.

2 or 4 depending on how strict you are.

Only if you draw a face on it and marry it.

I’ve tried a dozen ways.

All diets work, if you stick to them.

Try a few and go with the one you find easiest to stick with.

Long term you’ll have to figure out how to change your habits if you don’t want to stick on the diet forever. Or you’ll regain it again.

Not in itself, but you should probably aspire to make a few more friends.

You’re not a bad person for feeling whatever you’re feeling. It’s your actions that count.

I can forsee some potential issues with it but the worst that is likely to happen is heartbreak. And at that age it’s to be expected from just one boyfriend anyway.

She is almost an adult. Offer advice but at some point she will have to learn to live with the consequences of her actions.

LibreOffice, OpenOffice compete with the office suite. Google docs is American but is a big competition with the online variant of office.

Linux and to some extent BSD compete with windows. Munich, Germany had a project to switch away from windows in favor of Linux. Or got cancelled after some other guy got elected, I don’t know the details.

There are a dozen cloud storage competitors. But that is something Microsoft is not dominating the market at anyway.

The government won’t care about gaming but the public opinion would turn against the xbox and windows, which would cause Sony and Nintendo to celebrate.

Yes, technically they could cause massive disruptions. Not likely they will.

1. They would not get paid.

2. Europe would suddenly have a very good reason to spend billions of euro on funding competitors.

Sounds like it would require a huge amount of reverse engineering and during the process you don’t have a usable car.

The keys on a qwerty keyboard.

Your story was more interesting.

I dabbled for a few years before I made the switch.

You learn after you switch. Not before. Because then it’s easier to search for a Linux solution than it is to reinstall windows and get it done in the way you’re familiar.

If you can dual boot and do your daily needs you are good enough to make the switch.

Maximum freedom, minimum government. But make sure the 10th percentile also have a meaningful improvement in living standards.

How you ask? Fucked if I know. I make computers go brrrrr, not societies.

Depends on the outcome of the next election.

Great grandfathers service medals from the continuation war.

As I understood it from grandma he was doing damage control when the Soviet fire bombed towns.

I don’t intend to get kids but my coworkers have them once in a while.

I think you should have some. I don’t think it should be a matter of pride to not take any.

Need more context. Talking to her about it I guess. But if she is above the age of 18 it’s not really any of my business.

I stopped using reddit during the API protests. I refuse to use their app due to ads.

I found lemmy as an alternative mentioned somewhere and decided to try it out. It fulfills the idle sitting on toilet and arguing with strangers on the internet I used reddit for before.

Some reddit communities I was a member of are not active here, but they were not my primary use.

In a way they answered your question.

What kind of government? Am I born into a group that benefits from whatever the government is doing?

There is always a group of people that benefits from a government. Authoritarian governments that tends to be much less than the 50% required to win an election.

I am much more likely to support a government that does not see me as a questionable element and potentially an enemy of the state.

Yes, have you never changed?
