Whayle

I tried this out and it’s a good launcher once configured, but it’s time to look for a new one now. Msft is working hard to lose long time customers.

Both are bloated, but I’ll take flatpaks, as snaps have given me a lot of problems on multiple machines. I now just remove it entirely.

Thanks to you, cinnamon toast cocktails are a thing I have just now learned about

Beef would be much more expensive if not for the huge subsidies, it’s artificially cheap. Maybe we just stop doing that and see how it goes.

Consider that what we read online as news is becoming close to 50% generated or created by bots. Dipping in now and then, but mostly avoiding doesn’t seem an unreasonable approach, and breaks the dopamine machine.

I installed mint on my second PC, and it’s great. I feel like migrating my main, but I’m not sure it would go smoothly. I’ve had a lot of issues with my four months old Ubuntu install, lately the keyboard is nonfunctional at the login screen about half the time. Snaps are another reason making me want to leave it behind.

Looks like a tug or two is in use…maybe that should be required from now on for areas where a screw up can take out major infrastructure?

An old I Love Lucy episode comes to mind, it’s got to be tough! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZV40f0cXF4

Annoy and Stay Resident…like a lot of apps that can’t be removed, where data can’t be deleted, and the the app only disabled.

Click bait, designed to rage engage, don’t fall for it

Queen, news of the world tour, opening with “we will rock you”. Second is ELO and Kansas with a deadly laser light show. Nothing else has come close. I am old.

I played the games. I think the show’s sets and designs are good, but I can’t get into it. It just feels like sequalitis with no soul.

It’s because out of the box there’s often issues. For example, my setup with a 3080 booted to a black screen at login. Only futzing in the command prompt via grub let me install the correct driver, and it’s been fine ever since then.

Not only are they stupidly repetitive, they are loud. They do make me look for other stations. I’ve found I can mess with them sometimes using the home button, it can pause the marketing BS for a good minute.

Pwobably

Dual boot is the gateway I stepped through many years ago. It’s been months now since I chose team MS. I do lot of dev, gaming, and media work, and it’s all faster on the linux side. With the recent forced data mining “feature” update, I really doubt I’ll keep it around for my next upgrade.
So I’m just offering dual boot may be a good scenario. And also, popping in another drive is better than messing with your windows drive.

just imagine the “stigma” if the transcripts get published,…or fed into other LLMs

I often downvote on post quality. This post has “no body needed”, which leads to crap content. Tell us why, or it is just noise.
