I really wish SNW would have an awkward “don’t ask” conflict with the TOS Gorn and SNW version like DS9 did with Klingon makeup. Maybe they did and I missed it.

TEA! EARL GREY! HOT!

Microsoft might agree with this.

Hard agree with this. Does Reddit even have lawyers, or are they just using ChatGPT? Google, Meta, and Tik Tok already paid PII misuse fines for less than this. everything listed is part of the GDPR extended PII list.

That comes up in that sub occasionally and people offer it as a service. It’s 2 different universes in there - people who are like giving a child a Harry Potter toy wand that think they’re magic, and then a stage magician with 20 years of experience doing up close slight-of-hand magic that takes work to learn, telling the kid “you’re not doing what you think you’re doing here” and then the kid starts to cry and their friends come over and try to berate the stage magician and shout that he’s wrong because Hagrid said Harry’s a wizard and if you have the plastic wand that goes “bbbring!” you’re Harry Potter.

Yeah, but it’s like it’s total slop on top of the censorship part. It’s literally adding insult to injury.

OK, well what I’m trying to tell you is that unless you have some exotic hardware, Mint has the reputation of working right out of the box. Not great for gaming, so if that’s a deal breaker, then that’s it.

Maybe try another distro? Mint 22.1 works just fine right out of the box, and at this point Claude provides actual support better than scouring 3 forums in case you need small tweaks. Other than some proprietary fingerprint reader I never use, every machine I’ve used it on has been fine.

You can just do a live install from USB and test it before even installing.

There, FTFY

Agreed! (because then I would get 3 more points on the test)

Got the same, I can’t believe how many weird comments and extra random things can get added into an email address.

Meh - people are creatures of habit. To quote a family member “I’m too old to learn a new operating system!” Any change, even over to Mac OS, is rejected by most Windows users. Even when 99.9% of what they do is in a web browser.

Came here to say “Well, maybe they’re corrupting your data.”

Mr. Internet, tear down these walls! (for all these walled gardens)

Return the internet to the wild. Let it run feral like dinosaurs on an island.

Let the grannies and idiots stick themselves in the reservations and asylums run by billionaires.

Let’s all make Neocities pages about our hobbies and dirtiest, innermost thoughts. With gifs all over.
