I feel like people would appreciate and buy into a product that just works.

The general public are no longer the market, but rather the product. Most of us have been demoted from customer to cattle. They don’t care what we want. We’re here to generate data for them to sell.

I’m lucky enough to have a yard, so years ago I planted a dwarf spruce to be our living Christmas tree. We string it up with solar lights for the holidays.

You can get good sears on nonstick. We’ve done it for years.

Nonstick is easier to use and clean, but you’ll have to buy a new one every year or two, depending on how hard you are on them. Cast iron is practically indestructible in that you can almost always bring it back to usable condition; but keeping it usable takes more care. There’s also carbon steel if cast iron is too heavy for you.

I feel bad for them that they believed it.

This was my exact experience with Manjaro.

Sounds like someone needs to spend a day or two going down a wikipedia rabbit hole about the concept of knowledge.

There’s always Camacho if Newsom falls through. I think the country is ready

They’ll wait a month or so and try it again, quieter this time.

It costs more for the merchant and cardholder. That’s why rich people flex with it. Because they can afford to pay more and cost others more for no reason.

Amex is such a douchebag rich person flex. The credit card equivalent of a Laboubou collection.

In a lot of places it’s the only serious option for local sales. I’d love to see better alternatives push FB out, but until that happens, gotta do what you gotta do.

We did have that briefly. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorola_Droid

Mint is popular for beginners. I went with Debian KDE because I wanted something a little more minimalistic and boring. Fedora and OpenSUSE are also good options.

If you want to stick with a Windows-like desktop, pick a KDE distro over GNOME.

Well, then. That could explain a lot about why I always feel like I’m dying.

If you’re serious, I know a place

🤨 can’t tell if serious

Most everyone has an innate urge to live forever somehow. It’s an expression of our fear of death. They make children, or inventions, or buildings, or artworks, or whatever “legacy” they can think will persist after their death.

It’s natural to feel this way. We’re wired for it.

The cruel trick is that nothing lasts forever. We yearn for things we can’t have.

Might be a generational thing you’re perceiving. For someone about my age, carts were what we used as little kids (NES, SNES) and a little longer if you stuck with Nintendo (N64) over PlayStation. The PlayStation kids tended to view Nintendo as “kid stuff.”

Damn. The “most famous and revered figures” part remains to be seen, but otherwise, that’s scary dead-on.
