Just a heads up,

Most of my tools won’t run, (you can likely find alternatives for most, barring adobe)

most of my self made tools won’t run, (well you can fix that, now can’t ya? You made em once you can make em again)

most of my games won’t run, (Destiny player? Seems most single players run these days, but yeah the kernel level anticheat “required” by many online games renders them unplayable, because even if they do run like destiny you just get acct banned for playing on linux. This is the fault of the companies though, not on linux or its community for hating the kernel level spyware, of course.)

most 4 decades of internalization of shortcuts won’t cut it short anymore. (Actually you may be surprised, many windows shortcuts still work on KDE, and you can configure them however you want if there’s something missing. Plus you’d learn any “new” ones quicker than you may think.)

But yeah that said it isn’t for everybody. Just gotta weigh the cost/benefit, is it worth it to you to learn a little about a new UI to escape microsoft’s actively hostile anti-consumer practices, or would you rather just grin and bear it for “ease” (though it could be argued that “learning the new thing and being done with it” is actually easier than dealing with windows, just that learning the new thing frontloads the “hard” while dealing with microsoft is a constant annoyance. But I digress.)

She could read!

Or it was the one that smelled like pet supplies and she smart.

I’ve always theorized that it should be possible to have multiple wake words with different functions, some invisible to the user.

It has to be “always listening” for the wake word to function at all, so it clearly is doing that, what’s to stop them from having another wake word like “bomb” which it then starts recording and sends to the NSA for instance, or even “clip the last 30 seconds” like an xbox could be feasible. Or even have corporations pay to get on the “list” of secret trigger words, like Toyota pays and it hears “Toyota” or “new car” and starts serving ads for 2026 Celicas (I wish lol). It doesn’t even have to send much data back for that, just “ohp, said word, check box to join ‘toyota’ ad group.”

I’m not saying they do that, but like, it sounds totally easily possible and I can’t be the first person that had this idea, why wouldn’t they?

Hell to be fair I don’t trust most of the brands I do recognize either lol.

Yup!

To add to what he said, route of ingestion affects how different drugs metabolize in your system, and smoking happens to be the ROI that jives best with nicotine.

I brew my own juice and tbf, as long as I don’t drink from the bottle labeled “PURE ASS NICOTINE” (which would hurt) or chug an entire bottle of juice (which, while flavorful, isn’t something one above the age of 6 would accidentally do), I’ll be fine.

I think I can manage that, I manage not to accidentally drink the bleach or take all the tylenol every day too, it’s really easy if you’re careful.

I remember when my parents took me camping too. It actually did indeed make me appreciate modern creature comforts more and gave me a healthy appreciation for camping/wilderness/nature, oddly enough.

I’ve heard tell of this, I’ve been wondering something. Can you change your wifi password, give it the new one for setup, and then disconnect and restore your typical password and continue to use the TV, or does it need an active connection?

In this context, OP wants a community that is both vegan and sufficiently accepting of non-vegans, which might be tough to find.

Because being a preachy holier than thou dickhead is like, “the point” for a lot of vegans. Oh they’ll tell you it’s not that, while they tell you how much better they are than you because they reject anyone with a different opinion than they have, while you’re a rapist and a murderer because you let others be and make their own choices without evangelizing like a christian.

I’m fine with normal vegans, like the OP. In fact, most vegans I meet IRL are like OP, I even have a vegan friend who doesn’t give me shit about it and we take her veganism into concern when we eat and will go to a place that has good vegan and meat options (or she’ll cook her own vegan dish to share if potluck), fun times all around. But the Culinary Jehovah’s Witnesses are just as annoying as the actual Jehovah’s Witnesses. “Do you have a moment to talk about our lord and savior Daiya?” But the vegans don’t even have the balls to go door to door, they only recruit for their cult online, so honestly I respect it even less as much as I’d hate both.

Probably why they got hacked,

Which time lmao, weren’t there like 4 gigaleaks?

I feel this so very much lol. Working in retail (or food) and your boss plays the radio? All year, always the same ~50 songs a day… except Nov 1 - Jan 1, when it becomes the same 20 Jesus themed songs on repeat 6x times a day, and not even different versions.

The only one that gets a pass is the Charlie Brown one, it helps that it’s instrumental.

Slackware.

The idea of you needing a “special” program just for downloading a file seems to throw some of them off.

Just call it an “app,” that’ll shut 'em up.
