Lol can’t read the verge article and can’t read the archive one either.

The internet is so fucking dead.

Captchas that don’t work, next to a reminder that to keep from seeing this I should run antivirus.

I am on a damn PHONE! No VPN, just a standard internet connection.

So sick of this shit, I want early 2000’s internet back.

I too think you should remove windows. But if you don’t want to, take a clonezilla image of your hard drive now. Store it somewhere else of course. You then can always recover if this scheme gets weird.

Its the first thing I do when I get a new laptop. Then wipe windows. Then install Linux. If I have hardware issues I can simply restore windows for warranty.

In any case, I would pick one of those two Linux to be a primary. You don’t want to get rid of mint or make it a VM. Ok third option: distrobox it.

I consider them both clowns. Who the fuck uses twitter anymore?

Clown 1 was correct, but still, arguing on the shit pile is still just standing on the shit pile.

I remember the same thing when they replaced they dark room, light tables, plate makers, and eventually the printers and went digital. They said the same thing back then. I was one of the last ink and print and manual design and hand drawn artist left in our company.

But, oh well. Things change. This is what computers do.

From what I gather during the discussion about Vogue, is people are realizing that AI isn’t the problem, it is the fact that there aren’t even any places that actually sell anything in person anymore. It either cheap walmart/target garbage, or you have to try things on via delivery. Vogue going AI means those patterns, textures, and designs don’t even really exist. So whats to even try on anymore?

Fedora is sponsored by Redhat it is true. Not the only sponsers of course. And I get that Redhat is IBM (sadly). I would be a lot more concerned if Redhat was under Oracle, so while IBM isn’t great, it could be worse.

But other than that, it is a community driven model, I don’t believe they take direction from Redhat or exclusively obfuscate or hamper OSS because of Redhat.

I mean if you go down this rabbit hole, take a look at all the major contributors and sponsors for the linux kernel itself…

Fedora.

Possibly Open Suse

As a first distro why make it more complicated?

BTW: Never Ubuntu.

CachyOS, at the end of the day feels and acts like a bleeding edge linux distro. Fedora on the other hand hides all of that and yet is also bleeding edge. I usually get packages BEFORE CachyOS with Fedora (matter of days usually, but just highlighting how current it usually is).

It became corporate thats what happened. About 15 years ago I took a cab in Vegas. My driver was a long since retired back up singer. He told me stories of working with all sorts of Vegas acts, Sinatra and so on.

He then got a bit wistful about the old times. He said he missed old Vegas. He missed the mob. He said when the mob ran Vegas you knew where you stood and the mob knew to simply take a little off the top year after year.

Then he said the corporations moved in. And everyyear they squeeze. Take more and more, it never stops. They are the ones who invited families in and squeezed some more. Raised the prices on everything, made the odds worse if the could on slots, built giant building and increased the prices for rent and nickle and dimed every single service they could.

And year after year it was never enough, they just kept squeezing and increasing prices.

Well at least we are narrowing down the issue! I thought you didn’t like it when a tab had the logo in it when it was a new tab. But you mean the short cut screen right?

I never really see mine I always just open where I left off. I will have to take a look.

Ok people hate what I am about to do when asking for help (and for. Good reason), but… Why? Why are you caring about what is in a new tab?

Edit: to try and be helpful: you could remove the logo from the source code and compile it your self. Or you could create a custom css template (I think).

Has this ever happened to you?

This is working too. The marching orders are in and conservative sites are saying there is proof that Obama was trying to form a coup and stop Trumps election.

It is amazing how fast this narrative has stuck and become the new discussion.

Wow. You missed my points, and called me a scab for no reason.

You FOR spreading TIKTOK bullshit? Or can you see that it is a sad day to have to work for that company?

Maybe you should look a little deeper and not be such a prick.

They want to work for tiktok? What a shameful existance

Wait, it has a quick blurb on by default but actually interacting with it requires an opt in. That seems like a good balance.

In fact doing a search now (duck is my default) it doesn’t even offer an ai answer unless I click it first.

I would not choose to use a product made by people I disagree with but leaving that aside:

Is it the least bad? Why not degoogled chrome? Or chromium? Even vivaldi seems like a better choice.

Very important to enable wobbly windows as well.

I use a system to remember passwords, it works quite well and they all are unique.

But your comment reminds me of my latest annoyance: email addresses. It isn’t enough to use different passwords for every account, I now am using different emails for every account. Because companies should be encrypting my password AND my email address. Basically once a breach occurs that email is now garbage because it is a target.

So now password managers are a requirement because I want something more obtuse than email+website@mydomain. rotating domain names, rotating emails, its all a pain in the ass.

I liked that a lot, great joke.

Well we could say that anything wet is water. But we know that isnt true. This is similar. The definition, even to a layman, of what herbaceous means is not that much of a stretch compared to a notion of a tree.

The point being is we could call them all plants. But we like to break things into categories, and in the case our science has categorized a banana as an herb. Definitively as far as I can tell, and when they are observed you can see why.

You seem to be making two points here:

1. That people colloquially call it a tree, so don’t “correct” it. We know what they are talking about.

That seems fair enough.

But then you seem to say that:

2. There is no definition of what a tree or herb is so you can’t separate the two. The term is used to describe non woody growth that dies back (among other things). How can you say the word herbaceous is not a testable definition?

I don’t think it is pedantic at all. I have a banana patch, and I certainly consider them bushes instead of trees. I think people are interested in finding out the trivia that a banana tree is not a tree, but an herb.
