Think about the Pentium versions of the Celeron, too. XP was their peak time.

Some things we would want to install aren’t in the official repos. Downloading the deb file is a solution to that for newer users.

Do it 2 days before highly anticipated mod drops

It’s not attitude they are giving you. It’s strong recommendation. It’s the strong recommendation of the entire Linux community.

Sudo is different than run as admin and is not intended to be used to do things the way Windows does them.

This interaction is so indicative of the reality of device fandom.

The Android user isn’t storing information about the iPhone in their brain.

The iPhone user is responding like everybody knows everything about iPhone features and it was dumb of the android user to not know this thing.

That indicates that you might buy it if it’s good. The person I replied to implied they would never have purchased it at all.

If you were never going to buy it, why pirate it?

I don’t know that I agree with this for anything but GPUs. There are plenty of distros that are stable and don’t require constant fiddling.

I’ve seen scrub/dish daddies and did not know the mommy existed

There’s an app for that.

Yes, but other cars aren’t operating inside enclosed tunnels at all times.

My hot take was “the notoriously hackable companies are now trusted to not get hacked”

That makes it sound more like it is Linux, but not GNU. Which is accurate

Man. Maybe I’m lucky, but the five guys near me is 11.29 for a full sized cheeseburger with no sides. 12.69 is the most expensive one with bacon but I usually just do the little one which is 8.79.

They do charge an arm and a leg for the fries, though. Which I guess is to be expected since their measurements for a small fry is “all of them”

My money is on its not pushing Pro hard enough.

Back in my day we just looked at photoshopped pictures of celebrities like respectable men!

I had this thought all the way to the airport, once. Got on the plane without knowing the answer for sure.

I did lock the door, it turned out.

As somebody who frequently dislikes extremely popular movies, everybody else has trash taste.

Inception was just ok and Interstellar got me to stop watching Nolan movies all together.

I just now discovered why people are hating on Ubuntu pro by receiving a note that Ubuntu will not provide security updates for some apps it came with unless you activate Pro.

I think I’m done with Ubuntu on any personal machines.

It’s completely fair that your view on the pricing is different than mine.

Complete transparency, I do play their ads sometimes. I only refuse if I’m watching on my phone directly, but I cast from the official app. And I will have YouTube playing when I’m eating or playing a game on the steam deck.

The thing people should be referring to instead of it being a racket is that YouTube has a stranglehold on creators. I can watch streaming vids on another service, but if I want to consume content from small creators, I have to use YouTube. There isn’t a real option for alternatives.

So, I do provide the platform with some money. Then I pay creators in a way where they get a higher dollar amount than YouTube would give them.
