Or be broken up.

My wife once sent me to the shop to pick up some hand lotion, a cucumber and a box of tissues.

The 16 year old girl behind the counter gave me a weird look.

Its actually around 20-25%% if you account for the popular vote (which was not close) and people who did not vote, despite being eligible.

This was in early 2000 New York and Washington DC. Spent about a month there and saw it daily.

Going out in public in your pajamas.

How difficult it is to find fresh produce in small shops (food deserts)

How much fat is in all the meat.

How old and badly maintained many of the roads and bridges are (I am from Africa, so that says something)

The levels of national arrogance.

At least what you are looking for, is on the first page. With Google you get half a page of ads not relevant to your search, and two pages of SEO garbage, before you get to a relevant search.

I don’t have much of a problem with the small open source projects that are generally very good at filling gaps or addressing niches.

I think most of the waste is coming for the development done by the large open source houses. The canonical and red hats of the world. They should stick to what they are doing well, which is the foundational stuff.

I think it should be: “Software that is yours”

Overall, I think more focus should be put on consolidating similar projects.

Do we really need 6 different window managers that follow the same design logic?

Do we really need each major distro to have its own package manager?

How many image and PDF viewers do we need? How many music players?

Can we convince Ubuntu that no one wants snaps and they are wasting developer resources.

The freed up capacity should be focused on better windows app compatibility. Something akin to Valve’s push in gaming.

For me the main difference is Linux only does something when I ask it to.

Windows does whatever Microsoft wants it to do.

Both have major usability issues. But Linux gets a higher tolerance level, because of higher trust levels.

Exactly, no-one picks up the phone anymore.

I reject any smtp connections from their mail server.

It’s an AMD machine, lspci sees the devices. It just can seem to initialize it, sometimes. Every now and again it just starts working if the machine was unpowered for a few days.

I think the moral consensus is, if you own it, it’s not piracy.

Media owners only want you to think that.

They abandoned it, you did not.

Intel ax211 was the first one. Ax210 had same problem, as did the ax411.

But the bug has something to do with how the motherboard initializes the devices.

They all work fine in other laptops

Yep, civ 2 is my all time favourite.

Even 6.9 does not have the fix yet. Seems one of the two bugs is on roadmap for 6.11

I tried 3 Different models. Seems it’s actually a motherboard issue. The same WiFi cards work fine with fedora in my laptop.

Nice! I wish my issues were limited to those fixable ones.

I have issues with sound card SPDIF not working and Bluetooth on the intel WiFi card not wanting to switch on. Both known bugs with no fixes in the pipeline.

Will need to wait for my next PC upgrade in 5 years time.

I got about 15% better minimum frame rates under Linux and only one of my recent games had issues with anti-cheat.

Take2 is blacklisted for me, for stealing early access money from kerbal space program 2 and then cancelling it, while still accepting money for it.

I have owned every Civ from 1 to 6.

The franchise is now dead to me until Take2 is replaced.

Lack of a sense of humor begets violence.

Will is an example of that.
