Haha, four “spontaneous” battery fires. Yes, that’s what happened. Close the investigation.

What a great con. Wish I’d thought of it.

I will check this out!

The system seems quite a bit quicker than it was in Windows - though in all honesty this will also be because I’m still on a fairly fresh install.

I don’t think your Linux install is likely to slow down the way Win does.

The little icon jumping next to your cursor when opening a program (I know, I’m easily amused).

I consider Win unique as an OS that doesn’t provide feedback when something is happening in the background. It’s infuriating.

The lingering feeling of instability.

You’ve spent decades on the other system and when you started, you were too young to feel anxiety about it. You’ll get used to it.

The capslock works differently, apparently. I’m used to writing every capital letter using the capslock key, meaning if I write a capital at the beginning of a word, I press capslock, then type the first letter, then quickly press capslock again and type the rest.

I don’t understand why you don’t use the Shift key. I’m not trying to be an ass; why not use Shift?

I say all of this as a Mac guy who uses Linux for servers and such. I don’t daily-drive Linux as a desktop platform. But I greatly respect Linux and pay to support the Asahi Linux project (they are building Linux for Apple Silicon). I wish you all the best finding your way in a Windows-free world.

Used to let workers devote 20% of their time to personal projects to attract the best people. How times change.

This is a completely normal statistic. I heard it’s even higher in Canada. /s

It’s funny that one probably-landlord downvoted this. You know who you are, scum-sucking leech.

Born on third base. Thinks they hit a triple.

Accurate.

Yeah, I was completely tuned out at that point. I stopped viewing any current events because the world was so terrible and I was so depressed about it. Funny that it’s so much worse now and I’m still plugged in. I guess that’s what happens with age and experience. You get worn down to awful news.

I’m here to promote fclones. I’ve used it twice and recovered over a terabyte on my NAS the last time I used it. I’m not affiliated. Hyperspace for Mac is similar (but different) and I haven’t used it, but it was developed by my favorite nerd podcast host. I’m planning to test it out eventually, but the latest fclones run was only about a month ago, so it doesn’t make sense to try it yet.

Fuck NYT. I’ve lost all respect with their bs reporting on the genocide.

Omg, we’re such antisemites. /s

Fuck you, Israel. Free Palestine.

True but I only remove things that are bothering me so…

Samsung and Crucial.com are the two brands I trust, fwiw. Can’t speak to price, but I trust quality over price any day. I can’t tell you how many computers I saw that had defective RAM from Patriot RAM and the like. SSDs and RAM have similarities is why I included that anecdote. I have owned many of each brand and no device has failed (but all will given enough time).

As an aside, I find it amusing that the Patriot brand was trash sold to rubes.

Good luck!

salary range

Sorry, you have to pass multiple rounds of interviews and get approved for the job before we tell you, which is not wasting anyone’s time when you find out it’s substantially less than you’ll accept. Why can’t we find people to fill this position? No one wants to work anymore.

Ed Zitron called it last year. He said that one of the signs of the beginning of the AI implosion would be raising prices.

Any price increases by OpenAI or Anthropic: If they start needing to make more money, they could get desperate. This will be a sign their unit economics are no longer working out with their investors.

Where’s Your Ed At

I live in Oakland, California. Our recently-former mayor was just charged with corruption for taking bribes to get into office by promising contracts to moneyed interests. I’d sure like a Bernie type of person in charge of my city.

Is CA deeply progressive? Sorta; it’s viewed that way by a lot of people. Our AG is one of the ones fighting the Trump admin. Are we fucked regardless? I’d say yes. Your comment displays a lack of awareness of how bad things are.

Grassroots campaigns for small local government positions building gradual power for progressives to replace them. Do your part.
