When I used windows, I would have issues every other update.

With Linux it’s like once a year, unless I do something stupid to my own system with sudo.

I still remember all the time I sunk trying to remove candy crush soda saga from the enterprise windows 10 image I cloned to all office computers back when I worked IT. That shit was basically a part of the core OS.

I did in fact get fired shortly after rebuilding all the on prem servers to be linux and introducing Linux mini-PCs which could be used to rdp into windows cloud pcs.

That was the last time I had to work as a windows admin so it was great to get fired and move onto full time Linux work.

yay

I’m not pretending anything. I literally did what I said and gave it to my grandma and I hooked her up with a local computer repair guy that will do house calls and knows Linux because I live very far away. This worked well for 10 years or so until she died.

Im not saying people don’t have issues with Linux. It’s still a computer.

Are you saying people don’t run into issues using windows?

If you need windows for very specific thjngs, I get it. But for most people, if they had a local PC shop that they could trust with Linux issues, then it would be as convenient as windows if not more.

I gave my grandma a Linux, she had no idea. All she needed was a web browser that didn’t feed her ads and give her issues. Fedora with KDE was super simple for her to figure out how to use and actually had better accessibility features for her. And it was free.

Linux is actually pretty noob friendly nowadays. And if you don’t want to mess with it yourself, you can buy computers with Linux preinstalled today.

I get that sometimes people just want to complain and not solution. But like, using windows and other surveillance capitalism adjacent products is a path to fascism so like…maybe people should just, critically evaluate their problems and think of solutions every now and then?

Also, learn and listen for Grindr sound notifications

You know, this is the one I was thinking of but couldn’t remember the title.

Oh, ok. I see now that you’re just arguing in bad faith. Have a good day.

Have you tried? Most places will do that.

I normally just use a reusable metal waterbottle, no straw required. Although sometimes I just drink it enough that it has less risk of spilling in an open cup, even in a vehicle

You typically walk around with a straw in your mouth?

Basically, there is very little study / regulation on PFAS and other harmful chemicals on really everything. However most food contact materials (FCM) are full of the stuff. It’s almost always better to bypass and not use single use FMCs. The more of them you remove from your use, the less you pollute and the less you expose yourself to harmful chemicals.

Assessment of poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in commercially available drinking straws using targeted and suspect screening approaches

Yeah that could happen with a fork, or a toothbrush, or really anything that size if you land on it hard enough

I couldn’t afford the money required to fix most houses on the market to make it liveable, let alone the down payment.
