But that’s exactly the point I’m trying to make.

Average people don’t install/use linux because of the tinkering (amongst other stuff). If that’s eliminated, it’s accessible to more people.

but the average person installing Linux wants to be able to tinker.

But that’s the issue, no? To really take users away from Windows and MacOS there needs to be a distro that works without tinkering.

Tech companies and preventable controversies: name a more iconic duo.

vast majority of Internet traffic across the world is unencrypted.

The best part is in the comments.

You’re right, he might have a backported patch and not be vulnerable to any of the several CVEs for this version of Apache. But also, his server might be really easy to hack. Rather than confirming that his server is secure, he blocked me when I reported the issue.

Fuck your American free (hate)speech

“I was ready to paint the walls with Sam Altman’s f*cking brain.”

While I absolutely wouldn’t wish this upon him or anyone else, it wouldn’t take me long to make jokes about Frankenstein getting killed by his own monster.

He doesn’t like it because it’s the same as twitter according to him.

Journalists don’t like it because they get called out on bullshit there.

I’d argue that mid-tier specs are good enough for almost everyone.

In the past when phones improved significantly with every generation this would’ve been more of a problem for longevity IMO.

If my grandma had wheels she’d be a car.

I believe the premise of AI having any input in getting shut down is bullshit.

Even if the AI had free reign over a computer you can just pull the plug.

I personally just find it annoying how it’s shoehorned into everyting regardless if it makes sense to be there or not, without the option to turn it off.

I also don’t find it helpful for most things I do.

Have you tried using the support chat?

My FP4 got the opposite problem where it sometimes ignores inputs when placed on a soft surface.

But I guess I’d rather have that issue than yours.

Do you mean the ones with the big T9 keyboards so grandpa doesn’t have to wear his glasses while using his?
