I really wish SNW would have an awkward “don’t ask” conflict with the TOS Gorn and SNW version like DS9 did with Klingon makeup. Maybe they did and I missed it.

TEA! EARL GREY! HOT!

Microsoft might agree with this.

There’s got to be some meth-head scrappers that need this information.

That’s literally card punchers.

Edit: better link, with video.

I’ve never actually lol’ed at a Linux meme until today.

DraftKings killed Vegas by taking the main money-maker of Vegas and putting it on people’s phones.

Hard agree with this. Does Reddit even have lawyers, or are they just using ChatGPT? Google, Meta, and Tik Tok already paid PII misuse fines for less than this. everything listed is part of the GDPR extended PII list.

Unrelated question: How do I short reddit stock?

Same how the 14th Amendment to the Constitution is basically invalidated as long as some states hold off on challenging his EO undoing it.

He’ll do some “Elections will happen, but only in states that are nice to me and I expect to win” EO and will basically take CA and IL out of the results, and their results won’t be certified by Congress. Because right now it’s a race to rig 2026 to save donor campaign money.

Wait…am I fake?

For real, I think the question about “should I eat a whole chocolate cake” sort of opened the flood gates to people asking anything.

Meanwhile, OP said ask them anything - they answered like 3 questions. Answers were never promised, just the ability to ask anything.

That comes up in that sub occasionally and people offer it as a service. It’s 2 different universes in there - people who are like giving a child a Harry Potter toy wand that think they’re magic, and then a stage magician with 20 years of experience doing up close slight-of-hand magic that takes work to learn, telling the kid “you’re not doing what you think you’re doing here” and then the kid starts to cry and their friends come over and try to berate the stage magician and shout that he’s wrong because Hagrid said Harry’s a wizard and if you have the plastic wand that goes “bbbring!” you’re Harry Potter.

OK, well what I’m trying to tell you is that unless you have some exotic hardware, Mint has the reputation of working right out of the box. Not great for gaming, so if that’s a deal breaker, then that’s it.

Maybe try another distro? Mint 22.1 works just fine right out of the box, and at this point Claude provides actual support better than scouring 3 forums in case you need small tweaks. Other than some proprietary fingerprint reader I never use, every machine I’ve used it on has been fine.

You can just do a live install from USB and test it before even installing.

Agreed! (because then I would get 3 more points on the test)

Got the same, I can’t believe how many weird comments and extra random things can get added into an email address.

Meh - people are creatures of habit. To quote a family member “I’m too old to learn a new operating system!” Any change, even over to Mac OS, is rejected by most Windows users. Even when 99.9% of what they do is in a web browser.

Came here to say “Well, maybe they’re corrupting your data.”

Yeah, I was reminded of webrings earlier this week. Which was an idea that was so short of accomplishing the goal of web discovery before search engines, but at scale today would be something worth looking at again. Basically decentralized internet tribes. As long as there’s activitypub plugins, it’s even federated.

Cattersnail?

No, Snailapillar!

Mr. Internet, tear down these walls! (for all these walled gardens)

Return the internet to the wild. Let it run feral like dinosaurs on an island.

Let the grannies and idiots stick themselves in the reservations and asylums run by billionaires.

Let’s all make Neocities pages about our hobbies and dirtiest, innermost thoughts. With gifs all over.
