I envy you the ability to GTFO. Safe travels

Never heard of her, but she makes some good points

Sorry for the extended rant, hope this initial mess didn’t make you less likely to try Linux!

No apologies necessary! That’s very helpful and makes me more likely to take the plunge. Thank you for the rant!

Is that you, Louis?

But then good luck with updates

Too long to type so here’s a reddit link:

If that doesn’t work, here’s the text:

Once, there was a sailor. The captain welcomed him aboard as a new crew member. The Sailor was just settling in when he notice that there were no female sailors.

He was a hardy young man whole needed his fill of beer, bacon, and most of all: women. So the sailor went to the captain and asked him, “Captain, there are no women aboard, and i am a man who needs lots of women, how do solve this problem?” The captain says, “There are other men aboard and they have the same concerns as you, lad. too find it hard to be away from me wife. There hasn’t beena women aboard in years, but we have found a solution to this problem. Follow me.”

So the sailor follows the captain to the hold, and the captain leads the sailor to an inconspicuous barrel with a hole thats just the right size and just about the right hight. The captain says, “well, Lad, here tis our solution, just stick it in ye hole and have away.” The sailor looks incredulously at the captain. “Are you serious?!? A hole in a barrel?1?” “Just try it” and the captain walks away.

The sailor thinks that there could be no harm in trying and undoes his pants. Fifteen minutes later the sailor climbs on deck with a huge smile. “Wow, captain, that was amazing! have bedded many women in my day and that barrel was better than most by far.” The captain replies, “Aye, thought you would like it. Feel free to use it any time, day or night… except Tuesdays that is.”

The sailor looks at the captain with a confused expression. “Why not Tuesdays?”

“Because Tuesdays are your day in the barrel.”

The barrel. Now there’s a joke I’ve not heard in a long time. Long time

The world is now a little bit better for it

Thanks for that insight, Lucifer

Would this be a good distro for a noob who’s thinking about switching from Windows? Or is this more advanced to maintain and use as a daily driver?

I’m old enough to get this reference. You have my upvote

See there’s your problem; this isn’t a 'war" technically, so those rules don’t apply. Galaxy brain Bibi is working the loopholes and the US is tapping its forehead thinking “Smort”

Thunberg wasn’t mentioned once in that whole article…

But seriously, I read the whole thing a couple days ago and what a ride. Dude was getting pretty paranoid towards the end, but he got out safely and now we have some knowledge of their inner workings. I hope he takes some comfort in that.

He was impeached but not convicted by the feckless, obsequious Senate. And he wasn’t convicted by the courts. So this won’t happen, unfortunately

Maybe stick to buying companies, pretend that you founded them, market them well, drive it into the ground, then repeat the process.

Whatever happened to the murderer after he was acquitted? Is he still alive? I hope he led a miserable life

Edit: Looks like he died in 1986,maybe? If this is the right guy
