Yeah, as an American it’s disturbing and makes it hard to believe we can change things. You’ve described it very well.

Damn. I wish I could take time off just to clean my house. It needs it.

My receiver for my tv setup is a 1970s Pioneer. I like the big ol knobs on it and the warm lighting.

Edit to add I also love my Pebble smart watches (Go Rebble for keeping them running!)

Good answer. This seemed relevant enough to share, it’s certainly interesting. https://newatlas.com/biology/life-merger-evolution-symbiosis-organelle/

I switched my gaming PC to Linux two months ago and I’m loving it. I’ve only had to boot my Windows drive twice.

Idk sounds to me like you are the change we need. You’re investing your energy into the future without asking for selfish repayment. You’re good people. From my perspective you are still keeping that hope of a better future alive and burning, nurturing it in the hearts and minds of the young, allowing it to grow strong in a protected environment. You are EXACTLY what the world needs right now. So thank you Internet friend.

The power to be comfortable in any environment in just shorts and a T-shirt. No sunburn, no soggy shoes in the rain, warm while sitting in a snow drift.

Not saying I’m a fan of Edge, but I booted up my old Surface after not using it for a few years and out of everything Edge was surprisingly one of the most responsive programs. Oddly enough it also opens up PDFs super fast. Guess that’s just a long way of me saying it’s definitely better than IE and at least a step forward.

I know hardware compatibility has massively improved, but back when I was messing with Linux in high school compatibility was a huge issue. I managed to end up with two laptops and some desktop hardware that were truly difficult to get running. It’s like I somehow found a list of incompatible hardware and chose the worst options.

The most frustrating were an evil Broadcom (I think) wireless card and an AMD switchable card (they did actually make a few). That graphics card wasn’t supported for very long and was a bother even in Windows.

Edit to add: I was just saying that to point out why some people might have that opinion, even if it isn’t valid anymore. I’m actually thinking of jumping back on the Linux bandwagon.
