We will just have sketchy apps we download happily that trick the phone into thinking we are looking, further bloating them.

Any links to the artist?

I wasn’t calling you out or anything, but yeah, culture changes, what people are used to changes. Also, people have always moved to the path of least resistance through history…hell we don’t use metric in the US because the easier metric system was too hard for boomers and change is frightening.

Chi Ash, not sure on the A12…so Chiash? Trash?

I am sure he bought it fair and square.

Those windows can take sustained .50cal fire. That kid would only count as concealment against anything deployed effectively against those windows.

That is a disconnect the Linux community has. A complete lack of understanding of how little everyday, well known, base terminology is understood by newbies asking questions. They want to help, but are very bad at it until the asked has a certain level of understanding, and people don’t want to make it over that hump without help. It has always been a roadblock into onboarding more Linux users, and a wall many bounce off of.

Yeah, this one gets me, but you are exactly right with “years of experience”. Something goes wrong on my GFs MacBook or Windows PC and she just googles fixes, something goes wrong on her Steamdeck and she hands it to me “I don’t know how to get around the desktop mode”…GOOGLE IT, LEARN, YOU ARENT STUPID! sigh

It’s simpler that all that. Turn on new computer, open browser, install steam, install games, play games. Anything more complex than that makes it unusable. People have zero time to deal with even a slight hiccup. It is annoying to watch as people are getting into steamOS on Steamdeck and every little thing is the end of the world. I have seen “oh, to get that one to run smooth you gotta set the FPS locked to 30” met with “nah, I ain’t got time for all that, I’ll play it on the Xbox”.

I don’t know what the fix is, outside cloning windows GUI and making an ultra safe and familiar entry Linux (the replies will be various lists of “just use x,y,z” and “get this one and technobabble the dilithium crystals into the frondulator” and that just pushes people away instantly…there has to be a tiktok-dumb entry level OS before any real migration happens.

I gotta dust that boxed set off and watch it again.

People don’t understand soldiers. You get discipline, confidence, structure, and community, but it is just a job done by normal people. I know door kickers that are just chill normal folks and one that refuses to own a gun. I know a Ranger that worked against governments and trained people to rise up against their oppressors, that fell for trump (and I miss that dude a lot, he is genuinely a good guy and was a hero of mine until he went MAGA…he fell for the deception and I couldn’t pull him out. I get real bad “left a man behind” in the pit of my stomach when I bring him up…fuck.). I know an MP woman, that was in and active for 10 years, that is an adorable little goth chick that works at the local hippy co-op store.

If you work around people, especially a factory or blue collar job, look around, those are soldiers. Dumb ones, lazy ones, ones that should be doing something great but aren’t. it is a little less equivalent when it comes to combat roles, but you still have a spread, it isn’t like the fantasy portrays.

Wasn’t the last time this was posted her having an anti-vaxer bumper sticker?

Yup, and we are less likely to be targeted. Also, not a whole lot of women out there murdering around town at night.
