It looks nice but I’m sure they lean towards cool colors because they’re better at keeping you awake.

Or get off of X.

This may be the worst side effect. Trading efficiency AND accuracy for flexibility.

For real. I was so hopeful for the Type-1 and would’ve reserved one if I had the money.

Oh, you don’t have to ask.

I do this for free even!

I just installed the latest version of Debian on a 12 year old netbook. Just sayin.

What Windows 10?🖕🐧

Again, capable of a lot but it’s best at configuration management. I like to use Ansible after I install an OS to do things like tweak SSH to be more secure, install Fish shell, set common environment variables and aliases, create a bin folder in my home directory, and clone down a bunch of custom scripts I have and a remote Git repository. You can do this kind of thing with a bash script also but with a well written ansible playbook you can run it over and over and it can fix configuration drift (in my example it could ensure my repository of scripts is up to date).

Using it on my latest install. Not bad. I mostly picked it for the visual aspects but I’m in the fence about it’s functionality. It feels like it takes more clicks than it should to open stuff.

Ansible is a legitimate way to provision a VM, but that’s not it’s strong suit. You should look into Teraform as it’s more industry standard.

Yup

Been using it a few weeks and mostly happy. 2 gripes are waydroid not working (didn’t have a big desire to use it but still) and leaning into the immutability aspect can be tough. I say it’s tough because it didn’t take long to run into a case where I really need to use rpm-ostree install and I’ve so far failed at using workarounds.

It’s been demonstrated multiple times that when you make access easy and affordable people will pay for it over pirating it.

Keep forgetting, I need to upload a slightly AI’d profile picture to LinkedIn.

I wish the FTC would tackle that next. Why should I pay twice as much for the exact same service my neighbor has because they signed up a month ago? I don’t mind rewards being given for signing up but the first bill (aside from installation fees) shouldn’t be any lower than mine.

Internet also needs to be regulated like a utility because it basically is one at this point.

Multiple parties can be guilty at the same time. Negligence from the parents shouldn’t mean the website gets off scot-free. Award the money to suicide prevention organization for all I care but they need to pay up.

Yeah, those last replies are where I, as a juror, would say pay the family. It’s make believe and everything but you’re also intending to make things as real as possible BUT AI only sounds real. It has a limited memory and no empathy (taking words at face value instead of reading between the lines). If this was some cosplayer on Twitch they would’ve clued into his emotional state and tried to talk him down.

Not to say the parents have no blame here. Having an unsecured gun in a house with a child going through therapy is unconscionable.

Really. For a new user, fixing the repos is one of the less intuitive things to do.

I remember their “Uncarrier” slogan and how they were doing things very differently from the big providers and even led to them doing away with contracts and such.

I’d recommend dual booting right now so you can transition over a longer period. Also make sure your chosen distro supports dual-boot. Technically any distro can dual-boot but if it doesn’t support dual-boot you’ll have to put in some extra effort to make sure both can boot safely and easily.
