Still might want to practice on a hot dog or something afterwards though.

Good old fashioned enshitification.

I'm experimenting with Pop_OS on a laptop as my daily driver after playing with different distros in VM environments over the years. There's definitely a learning curve, but so far so good.

Back when we saw the death of the floppy disk, I knew optical media's days were numbered. Twenty years ago we had no idea that everything was going to be "something as a service." Enshitification hadn't been invented yet.

Guess I'm done talking shit about Clippy.

Any recommendations on a piracy-friendly e-reader? I don't want to go around the world to get root access either if I can help it.

We don't use the word "Spyware" like we did twenty years ago. It's baked into Windows now.

Louisiana, along with the rest of the Southern states are great until you leave the areas with the buildings and the learning.

Native Mississippian here. I can't speak for Alabama, but parts of Mississippi, like the Mississippi Delta, are among the most impoverished parts of the country. While crime is relatively low apart from gang activity, I do remember seeing a notice at a Mississippi delta Dominos location with a special map on the wall. It showed parts of town they would not deliver to after dark.

My wife is from the Midwest and thought that was the most peculiar thing she had ever seen.

On the flip side, there are pockets of disproportionate wealth peppered across the state. These places are beautiful, but mostly unobtainable due to housing shortages and sky high interest rates. If you're lucky enough to snag a home in or around these nicer areas, the already low cost of living in the state can actually be quite nice.

Dear God that sounds like it would send my anxiety through the roof. Crazy original idea though. I'd still try it.

Cave hermit here and I was delighted the first time I launched Quake 3 Arena on a linux distro. I'm wading deeper into the linux pool since Microsoft has lost their mind. Ads have no place in an operating system.

Gaming has tied me to Windows for decades, but thanks to companies like Valve and System 76 the long awaited shift may continue accelerating.

I'm glad to be here to see it.

Am I brain damaged or is part of the joke the fact that the screenshot isn't legible?

Ninja Edit Nevermind. The Boost app seems to default to low res images.
