You were wearing it wrong.

If that escapes the bowl, you’re doing it wrong.

Oh, so you don’t poop standing up?

So, don’t piss on other people’s floors. Aim better. You can still do that while standing up.

the acceptable amount for one to pee on their own floor willfully is none

Nobody’s talking about willfully peeing on the floor, we’re only talking about microscopic amounts of pee mist that could drift away from the stream when you’re peeing from 50 cm from the bowl instead of 10 cm from the bowl.

Every toilet I’ve seen has a big air gap under the seat even when the seat is down.

Unless you take a bath / shower immediately after using the toilet, you’re then walking around with a thin coating of waste on you all day.

Sitting down takes longer. IMO it also flows more easily if I’m standing. I’ll sit if I’m tired, or half-asleep, or whatever. I’ll stand most of the time to get it over with faster.

Do you have a cloaca?

You’re weird because apparently you don’t clean your bathroom floors.

Sure, microscopic amounts of pee gets on the floor. Then, every couple of weeks you clean your bathroom.

You know that when you flush a toilet you aerosolize a bit of the contents and they drift out and land around the room too. Does that bother you?

You don’t have to have a group chat with your family.

They don’t know how to use the phone? They don’t know how to use regular postal mail?

They most definitely did not get it right.

Having said that, there is some value to being thoughtful about the adoption of new technology. Especially when it comes to kids, some parents are too quick to allow their kids to use smartphones, tablets, chatGPT, etc. without much supervision.

But, the prospect of having to forego virtually all modern technology or become exiled from the only family and community you’ve ever known is crazy. It’s really only cults that require that you shun people who have left the “faith”.

Also, the modern Amish are the effect of multiple decades worth of Group Polarization. People in the community will hold different views. If someone has a view that the rules are too strict and that the group should be more lenient, they may eventually give up and just join the modern world. On the other hand, if someone thinks the group isn’t extreme enough, there is no other even more extreme group for them to join. So, they’ll stay and fight for their view. Over time, that means that the less extreme people tend to drift away, and the more extreme ones stay, leading to the group becoming more extreme.

Hmm.

Hmm, I don’t have any experience with USB speakers. I wonder if it’s using a standard driver or a custom one.

Snaps, and things like it, are really the only one I can blame on “Linux” (or at least Linux distributions).

I’ve had annoying headaches with drivers for 20+ years, but I expect that because Linux just doesn’t have enough users for most companies to bother making sure they have working drivers for Linux. I’ve been annoyed when some software or some tool or process isn’t as polished as the Windows version. But, mostly that’s something I got for free thanks to someone donating their time and effort, so I don’t want to complain about that.

But, I hate it when a major Linux distribution decides they’re going to ignore the standard way of doing things and only do things in their unique way. It often seems like one vendor / distributor is trying to build a walled garden and lock people in. It’s similarly annoying when vendors try to funnel people towards their “enterprise” version by making it harder to install certain apps that are “enterprisey”.

I get that it’s hard to make money selling Linux distributions. But, that’s what you signed up for. You don’t get to start behaving like Microsoft because it turns out to be hard to sell open source / free software.

Is it a bluetooth issue itself, or an issue with the drivers for that particular bluetooth hardware. Imperfect drivers has always been an issue under Linux, and will remain an issue as long as Windows has over 90% market share.

Is it your display driver that’s freezing? I’ve never had issues with one thing freezing the PC. The only time I’ve had it seem like that was the case was when it was the nVidia drivers that were having issues. But, that situation is much better than on Windows because I was able to SSH into the machine and everything seemed normal over an SSH connection. It meant I could shut things down gracefully and then eventually do a clean reboot. Meanwhile, the screen still looked as if the computer was locked up.

That’s weird. What kind of speakers do you have? Ye Olde Fashioned analog speakers tend to be hardwired for left and right. Of course, you can flip that in software, but unless you’ve touched that setting it should just work.

Ok, what about other countries?
