I’ve never mentioned the software store.

And not every single piece of software is on it.

And yes you’ll still need to use the terminal for more than just updating and installing software. Kinda routes back to my problem in regards to transitioning from one OS to another.

In actuality - Adam Sandler needs $XX Million dollars because Netflix has poor taste in talent and would be willing to sacrifice at least 20 shows to be pulled from it’s cycle to make this work.

marking the next step in Republicans’ war on education.

This line alone is actually making me feel really depressed now.

I’m not the smartest person in the world, but I would absolutely hate being in a part of the world where there is a party that actively works to dismantle people’s branch towards being better educated.

No, you must not be too smart or else you’re against them. Fucking braindead Texas.

Can you imagine if their practice was nationally adopted? You’d have a lot of people going around saying “I don’t know” when asked if they knew directions to somewhere. People having angry debates with another because they were asked about how much salt was applied to a piece of meat. People tearing down signs because they didn’t understand them.

I mean, we DO have these people, but not the entire population of them.

Agreed. I know it must be inconvenient to come across this thing. But people have to realize, it is done for a reason.

You wouldn’t want anyone to pretend they’re you online and ruining your credibility and reputation.

Ubuntu and it’s spin-offs are really are as close as we’re ever going to get to a full, user-friendly Linux OS. At least one that isn’t going to scare off as many people.

It’s just when you tell people the part where you have to keep track of some of the software that they use through the terminal, that’s when you start seeing them trickle off back to Windows.

Because the average user doesn’t have the patience, time or know-how to utilize commands in a terminal. If you plopped them down during the era where DOS was prominent, they’d be so lost and be begging for a UI to handle everything.

Add the whole fucking party.

Republicans NEVER accepted election results unless THEY won.

It’s nothing unique to 2020. It was only a big deal because of fatass Trump.

NO! I’ve got something better!

We make the ads guilt you into using ad blockers! Then we pepper your active streaming with ADs every 30 seconds! YOU WILL BUY! YOU WILL CONSOOME!

It’s starting to feel that way. The ISP I use that also serves telephone, only serves VoIP and I’ve had other services before do the same.

Like, why do that when I’ve gotten a Google Voice number for free to use?

The only apple things I’ve ever owned was an IPod. And I never paid full price for that shit.

There is that nvidia open source thing that recently happened. Still think that’s going to break down some doors that Linux gamers have long wanted to see. Like to be able to run their Linux OSes with drivers to their GPUs from Nvidia and play games that way.

This is death metal and black metal for me.

Badass instrumentals. Why the fuck is the vocalist a growling cookie monster? Can’t even comprehend a single fucking word he’s “singing” and yet the song somehow has lyrics. I can barely, BARELY tolerate Cannibal Corpse for the reason that I can comprehend the vocalist.

Maynard is the poster-boy of pretentious.

The very thing so many Tool fans aspire to be, that project this ‘Third-Eye’ that they claim to have and see things that they claim nobody else can see or express.

They say very intelligent things like “you know, the world sucks and the two-party system is destroying us”.

Things that are incredibly common these days.

The internet itself by and large, will not be toxic. Do you just open your browser one day and you’re faced with toxicity? No, you’re not. You have the options as to where to go, what to watch, what or who to interact with. It has always been this way and will continue to be this way.

It’s always been the people’s choice to decide to be assholes to each other at a given. For their own amusement. For their own self-serving sense of purpose. For whatever reason that they feel they need to do it. I don’t think social media began with the intent to get as out of control as it is right now. They all started as honest ideas with one thing in mind - connect people with people.

And they’ve succeeded. To regard social media as just toxic, is to imply that toxicity never existed online before they became more of a thing. Toxicity has long existed before them. They were in the chat rooms we frequented. They were on the messengers because of us allowing them to be on them. They were on the forums when allowed to register.

Problematic people has always been around and unfortunately, will continue to be around. It’s just the volume of them has amplified ever since they realized the day that they can take advantage of what anonymity, little of big, that they have and practically get away with even making people kill themselves until cyber bullying laws were a thing because I’m pretty sure that has happened in the past as well.

Funny because THEY were the ones causing the country to go in distress.

There are people who are hired specifically to pad reviews. They’re easy to spot though. Every 5 star review reads exactly the same even if it’s different wording.

“This app changed my life!”

“I was looking for so long to have an app like this so I’m happy this app exists!”

“This app is so easy to use and install, I don’t understand why people are complaining about it”

If you want true honesty, read some of the 3 star reviews and below.

And Israel is not avoiding killing civilians. Their conflict with Hamas is just an excuse to purge and expunge Palestinians like times before.

Two people I argue make that band - Axl and Slash.

Axl would have a hard time going with another guitarist if they weren’t Slash.

Yeah but they also use the word ‘commercialize’ which could very well mean that they’re looking to get something out from this. How much and who’s profiting is what we don’t know yet but it is a concern.
