  • The People Cheering the UnitedHealthcare CEO Shooting

    Jump

  • More like "I didn't bother educating myself on these two walls but when I was growing up in the 80s 'R' next to a name meant financial security to my daddy, so now that the economy isn't great I need to vote R."

  • TIL that if you search "thank my driver" on the Amazon app, you can give your most recent Amazon driver a $5 tip at no cost to you. This is a limited time promotion.

    Jump

  • Nah, most recent one didn't follow delivery instructions. Too bad you can't pick, all the others have deserved it.

    Edit: woo, good news, my last delivery before my prime "trial" expired and I stop using Amazon again, the driver managed to push the large face-height Amazon brand doorbell (didn't install it) and earned their $5 reward.

    Amusingly I got more downvoters for giving the money than not, lol

  • Sounds like you've got the generational grudge part down, at least.

  • Ah yes, sins of the father. Traditionally the best way to carry on grudges for hundreds of years.

  • Your twin brother was Hitler?

    I don't really have an interest in your personal loss, sorry -- I don't know you other than a few characters on a screen. But you made an assertion that we should care about the death of Hitler and I want to hear it. Is it because Hitler's friends and family will miss him?

  • Yes, racism is the only way 30% and 800% interest are the same, you've hit the nail on the head :)

  • Worst way to kill. Person immediately loses blood pressure and goes unconscious.

    Def want poison mushrooms so you shit your organs out first. Plus you can claim it was a pre-existing condition.

  • Why is his death tragic? Is Hitler's death tragic? If not where is your line?

  • Linux being easy to install was a weird target to begin with. If it were good, framework could easily find popularity. The issue with Linux is less the install than the upkeep and the jank package ecosystem. For every official package it feels like theres a bootleg build uploaded through gitlab ci by user luvgunz6969. Even something as basic as syncthing seems to have 5 different ways to install and run it. Firefox is insecure on Linux. Thunderbird doesn't have a fucking tray icon. Installing specific drivers breaks secureboot. It's a fucking minefield.

  • I assume you mean a desktop without a tpm chip but with a tpm header and from the Intel lines where they didn't bother to include the soft tpm as part of the design? I had such a PC, roughly the same time frame as yours.

    My phone is faster. Less RAM, but faster processor.

    7 years is a long time in tech.

  • Edge is fairly popular, your assessment is without merit there. Id trust it over chrome and the scum at brave but under chromium, Vivaldi, Firefox.

    Even if a tpm chip is just a deadbolt on your door, it's better than nothing and will keep your stuff safe from 99% of attackers. Yes the nsa well get through but they were gonna anyway. Your curious friend or random criminal aren't gonna get through. It's a deadbolt. I like having a deadbolt. It won't keep me actually safe but it will still stop 99% of people. You can let the perfect be the enemy of the good if you'd like, but until my Asus has a titan chip I'm gonna do what I can.

    I don't understand your last comment, Microsoft does provide a full iso and if you use Rufus to burn to a USB drive it works fine bootloader and all. No need to even try to use their hot garbage media creator tool, which sucks.

  • Most people don't care about the same things you care about. I do, and still find managing windows easier but I agree not everyone will because I also care about things like tpm support and kernel signing. Windows does all these things with no hoops, making it simpler for my use case. I've never had a registry entry brick anything.

    I'm not super controlling, so I don't feel an overriding need to remove edge just because it's there. I used Rufus to bypass tpm and web login support with 2 checkboxes. Life just isn't that hard.

    For someone who doesn't care at all, windows is significantly easier.

  • My general experience has been: "Come to Linux"

    "But not ubuntu that's trash"

    <Tries arch, run into problem>

    "Why the fuck would you use arch, dummy?"

    <Switch to fedora, immediately brick computer, eventually fix it but switch to suse>

    <Wonder where certain software is>

    "If you wanted wide software support why wouldn't you use arch"

    "You can just learn the build tool chain for that software and do it yourself"

    Etc Etc

    The Linux community is very welcoming until you expect things to work.

  • Special hardware meaning a TPM chip to encrypt your data? Why would they force you to use 10 year old tech, way too new!

    Remember they aren't forcing you to update, they just are telling you they won't support your old-ass shit :)
