    These types of posts just remind me how bad people are at using computers.

    Ive used windows 11 since it came out.

    As a Linux user for over two decades; oh the irony.

    I couldn’t resist. Don’t take it too seriously, although windows 11’s DE mashup of Windows, KDE, Gnome, and Mac is sort of hilarious to see.

    “its just one glass of wine” can be equally said with “its just a small bump of coke” or “its just half an oxy”

    No, not really. Each person is different, set and setting are different, circumstances can be different.

    In any case that silly graph you posted was made by:

    “opinions and judgment of 15 researchers, doctors, and a journalist. These opinions were exchanged and discussed during a 1-day workshop” … “given that it has no input other than the experience and knowledge of the participants involved, it is unlikely to be unbiased”

    Although to be fair, the group that made that study now is advocating ways to get medical cannabis and psychedelics to people, which is more or less in line with the graph I suppose.


  • And the huge shift right by male GenZ people. Reading posts by them specifically today: they felt marginalized by democrats and ignored. They felt like Maga cared about them, and they could belong in the Republican party. And some of them simply wanted revenge and to feel powerful.

    Now this isn’t everyone, but I gotta say:

    WTF are you doing thinking about feelings? And fitting in? Look at the damn effects your choice is going to make based on “feelings”. That group is going to lose consumer protection, worker protection and safety, medical coverage, relief on college tuition, housing subsidies, debt relief, small business loans. What they gain is higher prices, worse infrastructure, and possibly the nastiest thing of al:l the direct path of their income going to the wealthiest people and perpetuating generational wealth for the very few.

    Because they wanted to “feel” like they were seen and heard as men. You got played!


  • I agree with this a lot. I really do not like the term “content”. It is like going to a recipe for some “slop”, like using a term that is just a catch all for everything tossed on a plate.

    Art is great. Movies, music are also fine terms. And so is simply saying they made a video. Watering it all down to the term “content” is just so boring and mind numbing.




  • Ubuntu has never been remotely stable for me. Something stupid breaks or becomes difficult to get what I want out of it.

    Been that way since it came out for me.

    I find Arch much less hassle than Ubuntu ever was.

    Just recently put Ubuntu on a machine for a work project. It was broken from the get go, throwing errors and being it’s usual shitty self.

    I could never recommend it.

    Fedora on the other hand has been on a spare laptop for about 6 months and I gotta say they really have put some polish in. Updates are frequent but reasonable and most everything works well. Some small issues but they are not show stoppers and Fedora is aware of them.
