Right now, my Windows 10 installation is pretty bloatless and is easily revertable when an update wants to change things. However I'm definitely looking for a more mainstream Linux solution because I know these times won't last.

Yep, right now, using a search engine with Reddit in the query is still the best option to find an answer to something. Maybe Lemmy fits that in time, but until then, Reddit it is.

The ads through me for a sec, but then I realized this wasn't the Dev or Pro version.

I'll end up subscribing at some point, but I do wish there was a one time option like last time. Not really interested in the cloud backups and all that, just the ad free experience.

Edit: Spoke too soon. Looks like there wil be a one time option at some point in addition to a version with no ads. Looking forward to it.

That was my exact thought process.

"Wait, why is he spelling it wrong. It's M- oh, he's doing it on purpose. You dirty fucker."

The closest is Kenya, which starts with a "K" sound, but is actually spelled with a "K" sound."

Not going to lie, that's pretty disturbing. This search engine is used by millions (maybe billions?) and they're providing false information to all those people. That's scary.

The gall of some managers. They're going to lose that person anyway - might as well be on good terms where the potential of working together in the future is still a possibility.

I'm going to go out on a limb here, but I think someone who pushes the elderly in fits of rage isn't very chill.

Thank you for expressing your thoughts out on to public text. Query has been cataloged for future use.

Well, looks like it may be time to try and see what Linux is all about. Any good recommendations for a relatively Out of the Box experience?

I mostly just browse the web and play games (both single player and multiplayer, mostly AAA but also the occasional indie). On occasion, I also like to do some video editing in Davinci Resolve.

Seven hour day with an hour and fifteen minute lunch. What kind of magic is this? What's the catch?

What's funny is that it looked odd when I read it, but I just quickly brushed it off as a "well you don't see it written often."

You'd be surprised, a lot of democrats (so called anyway) were pissed off about wearing them too. Especially in the inner city.

I'm hoping enough people can keep their curiosity in check, but I'm not holding my breath.

It's going to take a seemless to register platform that offers comparable features to Twitter and then massive accounts switching over and actually leaving Twitter behind.

Right now Threads seems to be the closest, but they lack the feature set Twitter has like search and hashtags so the big accounts only tried it out before running back to what worked for them. Not to mention they don't have a usable web page for the platform either which alienates a lot of desktop users.

If Threads adds those things in, I fully believe more of the bigger accounts will transition over with their following and it'll snowball to become a massive platform. Whether it stays a good site remains to be seen, it is Meta after all.

If they're being a dick about it, yes. But surely there's things that people in a relationship do by themselves or with friends. Couldn't seeing a movie that your partner doesn't want to be one of them?

As a person who makes about 50k, that could be any one of them for all I know. Seriously though, 160k is quite the raise.

A surprising reference to be sure, but definitely a welcome one. Actually watched some of his content earlier today, though it was his personal channel and not Pitch Meeting.

Exactly, loyalty to a corporation is so stupid. Buy what works best for you in the moment.

If the company is still doing that when you need your next item, great. But if there is something better with a competitor and it's not difficult to replace, it's time to move on.

Same thing in distribution. They promote "safety, safety, safety," but as soon as productivity dips, "you guys aren't hitting your numbers, you need to do better."

That may work for normal people. Not so much for those unhinged enough to actually hate someone who has different characteristics than them. Unfortunately Twitter is filled with the unhinged.
