“We have investigated ourselves and found no wrongdoing”

Oh, Microsoft will still find a way to annoy them, mark my words

I’m pretty sure a YouTube channel researched this one pretty thoroughly. Try checking out the Why Files. The entire channel is fascinating, intertwining, and informative.

Already on Pop_OS ;)

I have windows dual booted for a couple things I can’t live or do school without and don’t have viable options for Linux

Same if you click any of the ChatGPT copilot shit baked into the start menu.

Hey get out of here with all this rational common sense shit

He will join us or die!

We got death star, we got death star! We got death star, we got death star! We got death star, we got death star!

Another interesting thing of note about Taiwan is that it claims the land of what is currently Mongolia iirc.

I’ve always found it interesting how intransigent some of the East Asian nations are. You have the Nk/Sk conflict that is only in an armistice, no official peace treaty, then you have PRC/Taiwan–also in armistice. Then, there are are hundreds of instances of inflexibility on China’s part with internal minorities or border conflicts with India or Vietnam. Add to the the SCS and the Nine Dash Line. Japan also exhibits some of this inflexibility leading up to and after WW2, and the forced pacifism afterward, which has caused some self-inflicted problems with an armistice with Russia over the Kuril Islands.

I’ve always wondered if the tendency is cultural or something else that was learned over the millennia.

It’s a disaster! Skywalker we’re after!

Every time I see this story I laugh. Thanks for posting it.

I’m seconding the “no Facebook” thing, and I’d add “no Meta-Owned anything”. Facebook is constantly showing me conspiracy flat earth shit with people honest to god arguing about it, and everyone in other posts strangely all comment the same thing or early similar things to the point that I’ve checked peoples accounts out to see if they are bots or not. Instagram isn’t much better, and a LOT of it is basically soft-core attention seeking influencers. Threads… Isn’t giving anything better than what Mastodon offers.

I swear. One of these days I will pull the plug.

The Sith have been dead for a thousand years!

True, although I should have specified that I was talking about the computer generated models.

Awesome informative reply. I’ve long wondered about how some creators get the same “face” in some insta accounts.

You’re a notional enemy until you actually invade, and then you become an actual enemy. That’s how these things work, Vladdy

But are you sure you don’t want to make Edge your default browser??

If we are being honest, Russia would probably appreciate some of the heat getting moved from Ukraine to the Middle East.

Now I understand why my narcissist brother was always on LI

My reason was that I had heard windows 11 was considering ads in their file explorer. Win10 already has enough prompts pushing edge and OneDrive. That, and many of my professors use Linux, and the ease with which they would install Python or C compilers was too much.

A few others have mentioned Pop_OS! for their Nvidia driver support which is what I’m running too. I think I’m on version 535.93 or something like that. Most of the Ubuntu downstream (Ubuntu, mint, pop_os, etc,.) already include The proprietary drivers in their repos. Pop_OS is known for Nvidia support being a bit quicker than the others.

I’d suggest looking into dual booting (thats what I do, there are a few things that work better on windows). It’s super easy to set up, and it’s an easy low risk way to see if it works for you.
