People should do whatever the hell they like.

There’s no harm in trying out a lot of different distros for the fun of it if that’s what you find entertaining, and it’s educational to see the state of what’s out there.

Not needing to stay locked to a specific distro is part of why Linux is great, and very unlike Mac or Windows.

If you like being loyal then be loyal, that’s a fine choice too, and freedom of choice is what this is all about.

Thought I was on 196 with the title

Like, why the hell wasn’t it before now already?

I’d hope that nobody would disagree with this.

The toxic aspect isn’t from wanting space apart from your spouse, it’s in sending signals (even ironically or in jest) that the family you are a part of is something you hate, that your family is cramping your individuality, and that you want to escape from them.

Everyone needs their own time and space. Just because you married another human doesn’t make you any less of an individual, and having healthy opportunity for time apart is essential.

Sign saying “Just one glass a day” picturing a giant wine glass the size of a goldfish bowl.

Hilarious.

UK here and they are turned on.

Thanks a lot, Brexit :(

I had so many good times on forums back in the day.

The personal nature of them was great for being social and making friends, but it was also good for the quality of the content for and user behaviour too.

When everyone recognises you and remembers your past behaviour, people put effort into creating a good reputation for themselves and making quality posts. It’s like living in a small village versus living in a city.

The thought of being banned back then genuinely filled people with dread, because even if you could evade it (which many people couldn’t as VPNs were barely a thing) you’d lose your whole post history and personal connection with people, and users did cherish those things.

The answer is very much “Don’t run Photoshop”

(Fuck Adobe. There, I said it)

There’s multiple ways to take that

The worrying truth is that we are all going to be subject to these sorts of false correlations and biases and there will be very little we can do about it.

You go to buy car insurance, and find that your premium has gone up 200% for no reason. Why? Because the AI said so. Maybe soneone with your name was in a crash. Maybe you parked overnight at the same GPS location where an accident happened. Who knows what data actually underlies that decision or how it was made, but it was. And even the insurance company themselves doesn’t know how it ended up that way.

Kinda wild that you could patent a super basic mechanic that pretty much anyone could come up with

I’m really not sure there is

Yeah I thought that was somehow supposed to be the punchline

You nailed it

In the UK at least, mobile phone ownership per household was only 16% in 1996 and didn’t reach 50% until the year 2000.

To have a phone in '92 you’d need to either be wealthy or have it through a company for business.

My dad had a phone in 95 for work and it was an absolute brick.

As for mobile internet, that wasn’t really a thing until smartphones happened with the iPhone. Yes we had WAP and other precursors to the full internet but it was awful and nobody used it, ever. In 2007 I was a geeky nerd at uni doing Comp Sci and had a Windows Mobile PDA in a belt holster, with full internet! But most people didn’t have Internet until about 2009-10

If a tree falls in the woods…

Pop!_OS is the next big

(It finished there)

Yes Daddy uwu

That’s the strategy, yes
