El Barto

Ha, cool! It’s been a while since I saw that movie.

Man, 1998?! Time flies.

What’s this in reference to?

which on its* face

Hey thanks for explaining!

What did you learn?

Correct. I just want to remain in Linux. Plus the Windows OS will be unmaintained, so I will never connect it to the internet. So I’d be without Internet meanwhile I’m in the other partition. A VM solves that.

I don’t know, I still haven’t done this yet!

But my needs might be different from yours. In my case, my music production skills just require an old version of FL Studio. I’m sure it will run fine in a VM.

Sure, but the question still remains…

In my case, I will NEVER upgrade to Windows 11. I’d rather use another OS.

I miss Windows 7.

But why would you upgrade if forced? You know you will have a subpar experience. Is it because of software you use that only runs on Windows?

The software I need on Windows will live on an isolated instance of Windows 10 in a VM on Linux when the time comes that MS stops releasing security updates for 10.

Plus the web is not the whole internet.

You could stick to Gopher.

Or use other search engines. There are hundreds. Hundreds.

Maybe not as useful as the dominant ones, though.

I don’t know you, so I won’t say that you’re an idiot. But your comment is idiotic.

See? It doesn’t have to be pedantic.

Yeah, I know that. But why get mad at that, though? Like, if I am in a restaurant that said “For Android users only” and I see an iPhone user being served, why the fuck would I care? I’d be puzzled and intrigued. Not enraged.

‘a need for better education and communication within the EV community’

That Rivian driver is being way too nice about the situation.

Imagine someone calling the police on you because you bought pepsi instead of coke. It’s not about education and communication. It’s about a fucking asshole doing asshole shit. You can’t reason with people like that. You tell them to fuck off.

Edit: hm, he was taking two spots. Not exactly his fault, but I can understand 0.00001% more the Tesla driver. Still an asshole, though.

Edit 2: If I was in a charging station that said “For Ford vehicles only” and I saw a BMW coming in and using it, I’d be more like “How is that possible? Huh. Interesting!” Then I’d mind my fucking business.

I didn’t know BBC did this. Sucks.

Imagine if you find out that normal humans could breathe underwater, and there 100 billion people living underwater. Us 8 billion people unable to live underwater are the “iron lung kids”.

The all say “imagine not being able to ‘fly’ underwater, or not riding a gigantic squid - I would kill myself to end my misery!”

What would you respond to that? I’d be like “eh, must be nice, but I’ve lived above water all my life. It makes no difference to me.”

Is he a good economist, though?

I mean, I can write books and host radio shows about quantum mechanics if I want. And I’m no physicist.

But regardless, if he’s a climate denier, that’s all I need to know.

I went on “vacation” with my mom three times in the last two years. It was like tending to a small child. Constant care. Not fun. I decided I will only have vacations to myself for the next three years.

Also, wow. I hope you’re having better days these days!

It doesn’t have to be. Every morning do one push up, and one push up only. After 20 days, up it to two push ups.

Why doesn’t south America agree on a single currency like the Euro?

The Peso. The Sol. The Amero.
