Thanks! I’ve had to fiddle a bit with my Bluetooth transmitter on every boot, but with FastConnectable = true there’s a notable improvement. (I’m on Mint.)

i hate wars but vim is better than emacs

Sometimes I wonder who I would be without the constant, crippling anxiety.

DUCKIES!! They so smol

I saw some wild geese a week ago and their offspring were pretty big and well into shedding their dawn. They were in that awkward age

Who is this fear mongering creep?

Anyways this video goes into some detail instead of ominously saying jack shit and it sounds like this Enrico guy was mostly busy shuffling code around and breaking stuff, then pivoted into a crusade against DEI. Doesn’t fit the persecuted savior story.

What’s the relation with Mint and the UK?

But but but, Libre Office isn’t an operating system! Now I’m curious what distro they’ve adopted.

Kind of half related, but Microsoft loves to fuck with dual booting as well in various ways. Just last year a security patch broke dual booting, required a complicated workaround to get out of, and was only properly fixed 9 months later. Historically some “fast boot” shenanigans have been known to actually be “fucking with linux dual boot”. At this point if I need Windows for some adulting, it’s done in a virtual machine. Microsoft has simply lost their privilege to bare metal access on my PC.

EDIT: Stories like this post are disheartening though, since they show that Microsoft can use their weight to make everyone else’s experience worst even if you completely avoid them.

I love the last one for this message. I feel like baby Jesus is a good pick for a child about to make trouble as they grow.

In 2012 Microsoft launched Windows 8, which was supposed to be a first step towards transitioning the OS into a walled garden. They clearly intended to shut Steam out, eat Valve’s lunch and take over PC gaming. In the end they backed down, but Gabe took the hint. The consequences are still steadily unravelling today.

well we’re online so

i heard the record scratch

I ditched Windows for Linux some weeks ago precisely so that my OS stops fucking me over.

Having you forcibly pulled from The Zone by some colleague knocking at your office door to make sure you received their email is obviously painful, but this makes me realize that being forcibly pulled from The Zone in ANY way whatsoever is equally painful.
