Hold the green tortoise shell on the back of my car. I'm not going to attack him when his dog is on the bike as well, but the fuckers not getting past me.

Everything in my house uses 24 hour time.

Except for my Cuisinart coffee maker.

Wouldn't mind too much but the programme is set to 12:00pm by default and the clock to 12:00am. Caught me out the first few times I set it.

Surely it's more likely someone is going to want coffee automatically brewed in the morning rather than the afternoon/ evening and that they're setting it up in the afternoon/evening rather than the early hours of the morning?

My local music shop used to have a sign that said "Stairways cool, no f**king Teen Spirit."

Fascinating stuff. Think I'd prefer using this over most of the "alternative" OS that are about. But after reading more about this and Haiku I'm starting to think things like a modern web browser and video/ audio editing tools are probably going to keep me off them both for a long time at least.

Abortions too? Well, I.know where I'm going next year's holiflday

Yea I haven't heard of companies using BSD at all these days and it isn't really suitable for desktop use. But I'm interested to see if Haiku progresses to be a good desktop Linux alternative https://www.haiku-os.org/about/faq/

What the fuck happened to your car seat? Looks like some kind of explosion.

Just follow the handy dandy Microsoft guide to installing Linux https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/linux/install

But seriously. Yes, it's true that installing a new OS is a level of effort the average person is unlikely to want to put in. But they're going to have to start because I believe the situation this Windows monopoly is causing is far worse than it appears on the surface.

It's estimated that around half of PCs in the world won't be able to run Windows 11 https://www.computerworld.com/article/3657628/more-than-half-of-pcs-cant-upgrade-to-windows-11-report.html

Sure, a good chunk of those machines probably can't even run Windows 10. They'll still be on earlier versions of Windows, even going back as far as XP in some cases.

Because of the "latest Windows" benchmark PCs depreciate only slightly slower than bananas. Part of the reason I got into Linux as a young and poor nerd was because it could run on much older and significantly cheaper hardware. But most people and organisations aren't going to bother trying to resell their computers for the measly sum they'd get when they bite the bullet and upgrade, adding millions of still perfectly usable machines to the ever building toxic soup of e-waste and using more resources than necessary when creating new Windows compatible devices.

On top of that those who are unable or unwilling to upgrade end up with an OS full of more holes than swiss cheese that diminishes cyber security for everyone.

At this point, not switching to Linux (which is really the only viable Windows alternative) and getting the longest lifespan possible out of your hardware in a safe way is frankly irresponsible.

Ah yes, the NES version of the Kobayashi Maru

Ah well. I've since become #debian4life

That's been their business model for the last few millennia and it's worked out pretty well so far.

I could never get Pop OS working. The first apt upgrade would delete everything and I'd be unable to boot.

And I love your grandmother :D

Where? I can't see it

Yea, one woman goatses herself and everybody throws them in then picks them out like car keys

It's markings. The light brown/ gold colour with black.

Some of them only have those markings but a lot are "tabby and white" and have white patches to varying degrees.

Notice he didn't say who's wedding ring...

Yea, I've thought about it more since my original post and it's looking less likely that I'm going to be able to do this.

I can't really give up Whatsapp as annoyingly that's the only way most of my family will communicate. So I'd need a modern dumb phone capable of running Whatsapp, kind of negating the point.

Graphene OS it is!

Here we go-oh-oh-o-uuuuuuuuuuuuuh-ho-ho!

Mamamia you really knowa howta worka my prostate.

Agreed. Also it's likely you'll be able to use your TV's remote with it via CEC or if not you can still use the remote app on your phone.
