  • I wish Linux would quit hiding things that don't need to be hidden. For example, your Steam directory should not be hidden, but it usually is. Hidden directories should be reserved only for things that can fuck up your system if you modify them.

  • Forgot the disclaimer

  • There needs to be a constitutional amendment that says that presidents can't pardon themselves, family members, or anyone that worked for them.

  • I hate this discourse that what Joe did is okay because Trump did something similar. Trump did a lot of horrible things. That doesn't make it okay for the next schmuck to come along and do the same thing. Two wrongs don't make a right. I shouldn't have to explain this to people.

  • Tell one thing that you miss after switching from another OS to Linux.

  • Windows has spell checking and autocomplete that works in pretty much any app and I think it works really well. I often find that I can type sentences a lot faster in Windows.

  • I'm both happy and scared!

  • A lot of times you won't know what needs attention until you've lived in the house long enough. Not everything is immediately obvious.

  • Don't let any contractors into your house until you've lived there for at least a few months, and learn how to recognize high pressure sales pitches from them. They'll take advantage of you if you don't. Always get more than one quote. If you're as much as tell them you're getting multiple quotes, they'll start lowering their prices pretty dramatically.

    Examples of high pressure sales tactics:

    They'll insist that your spouse be home during the demonstration. That's red flag number one.

    They'll go to get something from their car, and Ithey'll ask if it's okay for them to let themselves back in. Most homeowners don't think anything of this, but this is actually a psychological trick. The idea is that you wouldn't allow someone to let themselves into your house unless you trusted them, and if you trust them, you're much more likely to do business with them.

    They'll spend 3 hours talking about how great whatever it is they're selling is, and it will start to feel like the only way to get these people out of your house is to sign a dotted line.

    They'll do whatever they can to stop you from talking to other companies. That's why they'll start lowering their prices as soon as you mention that you're getting multiple quotes.

  • What’s an album you thought you would like at first but ended up disliking after listening to it?

    Jump

  • Rel-Load in particular had a lot of songs that I felt were half baked. Some of those songs should have spent more time in the cutting room floor and didn't need to be as long as they were. They either needed to make those songs shorter or make them more interesting.

  • Hey Lemmy give me an album to listen to

    Jump

  • Generation Why by Zhu. I don't really care for most of Zhu's music, but this album I really enjoy. It's similar in style to 808s and heartbreak.

  • Since I left you is one of my favorite music videos. It's quite wholesome.

  • What are the taboo subjects?

    Jump

  • Lemmy is full of people that I would never want to hang out with IRL. Even if I agree with most of what they're saying, they manage to say it in the most neckbeardy way possible.

  • What do you secretly judge people for?

  • I get about 30 dollars a month in Interest in my savings account. Is that not passive?

  • What podcast do you enjoy so much you binge old episodes of?

    Jump

  • Cautionary Tales has some good episodes that I've listened to more than once. My favorite one is called Bowie, Jazz, and the unplayable piano.

  • What's a handy terminal command you use often?

    Jump

  • What is your favorite sketch by "The Onion", aka "Onion News Network"?

    Jump

  • These comments are proof that The Onion peaked like 15 years ago. They just haven't been as funny since then.

  • What Linux distro surprised you the most?

    Jump

  • Void is by far the fastest booting distro I've ever used. I like how it allows you to load the boot USB into RAM and I wish every distro did that.

  • Oh no, not again

  • Make this thread look like it's your first day on the internet

  • Real call of duty hacks free

  • My wife has an iPhone. I have a Samsung S23. Why do videos she texts me look like super low res shit?? Can iPhones not text videos?

    Jump

  • The thing is, Apple phones do support these things, but only if they change the default messenger app, and most Apple users won't do that. IPhone users are worse than Windows users when It comes to changing their default apps.
