I’ve been linux-curious on-and-off for years. I’ve toyed with it several times but always gone back to Windows eventually. I have a laptop with a 7th gen Intel CPU that is not supported on Windows 11, so I decided to wipe it and threw the latest version of Linux Mint on it. Everything (except for a fingerprint reader) worked straight out of the figurative box, and I’ve been happily running it on that machine for about 6 months now. I think Mint is a good choice if you want a simple windows-like experience.

I still have a desktop PC running Windows for games and Adobe Lightroom and stuff, but I won’t be going back to Windows on that laptop.

huzzah

The ads I see on my kindle lock screen all seem to be for garbage AI-generated books.

Hold on to them and sell them in the future when scarcity makes them valuable again.

Jesus Christ. Listening to what’s in that recording is a lot more damning than what’s written in the article.

you can set separate resolutions for your laptop’s built-in screen and your external display, unless you’re just mirroring the display to both.

just never connect your smart tv to the internet

Amazon added epub support to Kindles a while back, and deprecated mobi. It still has some issues with epub formatting though, I’ve had to tweak some files using a Calibre plugin to make them render properly on the kindle.

Came here to post this too. Post-scarcity, nothing to go to war over, everyone’s comfortable.

Ublock Origin combined with a PiHole and SponsorBlock makes for a much nicer browsing experience.

So, have they actually gone out of business?

I just want to see Bobby Fucking Kotick gone.

I think it is kinda newsworthy because Elon already threw his toys out of the pram when Threads launched and started eating what was left of Twitter’s lunch. That this one guy just reposting the already public data about his jet’s movements bothers him so much is delightful.

For real. I think just about any print magazine would give their right arm for that kind of circulation in 2023.

All of the Star Trek stuff should be on Paramount+, although they’re pulling some bullshit with Prodigy and removing it.

Elder millenial here. Grew up on Doom and Quake.

Defenestrate them!

Don’t forget the USELESS FUCKING ARROWS.

I think vBulletin is - at best - dormant these days. I spent about 10 years on a vBulletin-powered forum before I went over to reddit… 12 years ago.

This kind of shit is what lead to abortion being legalized by popular referendum in Ireland a couple of years ago. Anti-abortion laws so strict that hospitals let pregnant women die rather than abort a baby for fear of prosecution.
