How about the accident on the 27th of July 1987 that has been the cause of severe pain and agony for literally millions of people?

It could be just me, but I always feel like “fuck, that must have been a scew/bolt/nail/T-72 that will fuck up my vacuum”. I’m sure there’s some kind of filter that was invented somewhere around 1947 to prevent exactly that, but the instant feeling is still the same.

Somewhere in an alternate universe raccoons don’t go apeshit when they hit puberty, and foxes aren’t obnoxiously loud and piss everywhere. And they are just your spicy flavour of home pets.

I work for Belethor, at the General Goods Store.

I… I was today years old.

I honestly thought LibreOffice was some rebranded name. It’s been a while since I’ve used any of them.

Also, there has been more than a few days’ worth of data proving that he can’t really be taken for granted for more than one and a half minutes.

While it’s super annoying for the tech savvy, and gives a great opportunity to ill willed tech people, I’m sure it was an idiot proofing move. The average user is a not-so-tech-savvy office person, having relatively fuck all knowledge on extensions, and back in the day pretty much all programs got picky when facing an unknown/unsupported extension. Your average Joe/Jolene opened ‘veryimportantspreadsheet.xls’, renamed it to ‘veryimportantspreadsheetnew’ (without the extension), and made it impossible for Excel to open it by double clicking. Then in the best case they triggered an IT support request; in the worst case they reported that the very important spreadsheet got lost/corrupted and data was lost.

Possibly. I didn’t follow it that closely.

I know it’s my fault if I still haven’t watched it yet, but I managed to survive without this spoiler up until now.

Their home security IT system is a mosquito net made of paper with a post-it note saying ‘no hack pl0x’.

They had been caught letting the Russians take a quick comfy look around and promptly doing fuck all about it. I guess the Russians assume that it’s the same reason half of the EU/NATO would also know if Putty decided to take a walk in that country.

And this is where unregulated capitalism and the constant craze for GROWTH GROWTH GROWTH comes into the picture. With a failing demographic AND an aging society, economic collapse is inevitable. I mean, it could be just a long, smooth slope in theory, but not with this dystopian economic system where you have already spent the money you’re getting back in 10 years’ time, with the greedy shareholders dictating everything.

I mean, these demographic changes will happen regardless, but the effects of currently having such a flawed and short sighted system will be painfully drastic.

[Breaking News] Yellowstone Mega-volcano unexpectedly dies of cardiac arrest.

I was gifted Robert Merle’s The Day of the Dolphin once. They told me it was a great book. I’m still sure it is, but I couldn’t get past the 2nd page. The lack of punctuation made it awfully cumbersome to read.

I’m absolutely immune to art, totally insensitive to meanings, references, nuances or just plain beauty, and the instant I looked at this I was thinking “I don’t have absolutely any idea why whatsoever, but for some reason I absolutely love this”.

I remember having played it on Ubuntu around S3-S4. It didn’t look the exact same, but it was definitely playable (could have been just different graphics settings). A few weeks ago I found a comment saying it’s not playable and/or buggy as hell now. I wonder what broke it.

As long as it’s single player or you’re lucky to not want to play League, PUBG, CS2 or Valorant (or RS6 or… basically any of the biggest ones), you should be fine, and there are plenty of games working under Linux. If you do… Well, not now or in the past 20 years.

Back when I last used it (we’re speaking ~8 years ago), I was actually happy using it instead of MSO. …until I opened a Word document and all the tabulations and spacing went to shit. I don’t know whether it got fixed yet, but as soon as they always look identical to the pixel, opened in either editor, I will finally ditch Word.

I guess the same goes for Excel/Calc. Once all the functions are called and work the same, all the formatting looks the same in both, I’ll stick with Calc.

(It might come across as I’m being MS elitist, but it’s quite the opposite - I would love to switch, but if the admin requires docx, I have these two to choose from. I understand it’s not Libre’s fault, but I can’t do much, either)

There are applications that still don’t have a proper Linux port, or any at all. Or maybe the ones that exist are cumbersome to use. I really hate that people downvote you for pointing this out. If you were wrong, Linux would have a much larger share already.

I understand that some people have alternatives for everything they use; I’m happy for them, and I wish to be them. But assuming that if I can do everything I want on Linux in the same quality/convenience/whatever, then others must, as well…

Which OS has more executable files written for it

Windows, of course, that’s out of the question. And yes, the problem wouldn’t be as annoying if proper corporate solutions were developed for Linux, as well - which is an investment, and they look at the proportions between the two, and choose the one with the larger user base. Which sucks as well, because the Linux user base is small exactly for the above reason (among others).

Again, I’m not debating the whole issue at all - I just didn’t find the initial comparison fair, that’s all.
