I don't really think this counts, since he doubles back around at a point, I mean, if you're allowed to do that, you can drive for 30 hours almost anywhere, and still be in the same area.

I haven't seen any of these bad boys in probably over a decade. They used to be all over the place.

Well, it shouldn't be hard to write in an exemption just for folks with wheelchairs. It's almost a non-issue.

No, it's better to be honest. The average user isn't ready for Linux, because Linux is not ready for the average user. I'd never try and get someone to use it if they're not already interested. I hate that it is this way, but it is. Linux is only really for people who already want to use it. Because if you're not interested in using it, you're not going to put forth the time investment to gain the benefits from it. No matter what angle I look at it from Linux is not for the average person.

Your second paragraph says it all. Find out if the user needs to dual boot? The answer is obviously "No" because no matter what they're using the computer for, Linux is unneeded for them, since they have Windows. There are tangible benefits to using Windows, since it runs their software, meanwhile, you failed to list any real benefits to using Linux for the average user. It's faster? No, not really, since they'll be learning how to use it, and even ignoring that, it's not so much faster that they'll perceive it anyway. It's more secure? Not really, Windows is the better choice for the average user in that respect, since it'll automatically force them to restart the machine every week to install security updates. Main choice of professionals? That's not entirely true, and even if it were, it's not relevant, the average user is not a professional. And for anyone who already owns a computer already running Windows, Windows was 'free' too.

The only time to have this discussion is if the user is having a PC built, and then the answer is also "No" to Linux, because they're going to buy Windows anyway, since it's better for gaming, and that's the primary reason for someone to build a PC, unless they're doing a specialized task like video editing, and if they are invested enough into the task to want a PC just for that, they have specialized software that almost always runs only on Windows, and even if it were able to run on either, it's not my place to alter their workflow.

The real elitist attitude is thinking people need to use Linux in the first place. For me and (maybe) you, it might get the job done, but for my family and friends. It's better that they use what they're comfortable with. The main point of a computer is to accomplish tasks, and giving them Linux is a hindrance to that.

Linux is great, but it's not for everyone, and it may never be.

Yeah, that's the internet for you. Anything you want to stay around will vanish someday, and anything you want gone will be here forever.

I'd get the fourth sword, then I'd take a regular dagger, and cut open a pregnant cow or cat or dog or something. I'd then slay all the kittens or calves or puppies with my new sword. Since the animals are not born yet, they would have an age of less than 0. When we add their negative age to mine, I'd become weeks or even months younger per kill! With this I will have everlasting youth!

They requested the delay to July, since he is in court for another case in another area. I suppose it was reasonable to grant it. It'd be unfair for someone to not get their right to a trial, even if they were found guilty of a crime in another area.

It'd make more sense to keep him in custody in the meantime though. I mean, that's what they do for normal people. Right?

"V" is the name of the main character in the game Cyberpunk 2077. He or she is who you play as.

So in this context, a "Nude V" is an image or video of the player character without clothing.

Steam will do refunds to the payment method used if fewer than 30 days have passed, but after that point, they'll only refund to Steam Wallet. At least, that's how it worked last time I checked.

What happens if your brain implant is like a phone, and stops getting updates after 2 or so years? That'd suck really bad.

The issue starts even earlier, with the fact that you're encouraged to nominate games that you may not have even played. I think the only game released this year that I've played was Cities: Skylines 2, which I didn't feel deserved anything, so I just punched in whatever games I could find that had released this year.

And then, yeah, I totally just clicked choices for all the votes for awards too. I didn't really care, I didn't play any of the choices anyway.

My cat will come running whenever the door to somewhere he's not supposed to be is opened. That's his real favorite sound.

I don't know though, I feel like giving money to an app for Lemmy would kind of be like supporting the wrong person. Especially if you haven't even donated to your instance's owner yet.

Be the change you want to see. If you have something to say about a post that isn't a meme, pop in and leave a comment on it. If you don't want to talk about Meta and Open Source Software and privacy, then don't interact with those comments.

Or at least that's the way I see it.

Can we really handwave away the whole Adam and Eve thing though?

If we do, then what did Jesus die for?
