You're not going to get "improvements" in Windows, that should be clear by now. Crystal clear, I would think.

Linux IS good, and today, the "paradigm shift" is more like a gentle learning curve with people holding your hand every step.

I'm an old geezer who made the jump a year ago, it really isn't hard. Literally, the only thing I miss is the big preview window in the file manager. Big previews for all of the major formats is a big plus for Windows, but not one that kept me on their side.

Time to wake up, Mister Musk! Wake up and smell the coffee!

I bought a jar of Nescafe recently, because my usual instant decaf coffee was out of stock. I wonder if people would hate me more for buying a Nestle product, or drinking instant decaf?

Wait, there's actually humans working at Discord? I thought the entire thing was run by bots.

I'm living alone again for the first time since I was 22. I brought back my old ways. I use the same dishes every day, and wash as I go. One fork, one knife, one spoon, a plate, a bowl, a glass, etc. They sit rinsed-off in the sink till I need them, then I quickly wash what I need, and use it, and put it back in the sink.

Much better than filling a dishwasher every few days, then having to run it and put the dishes away.

"Tumbling" would be 40% IMO. Do I hear 50? Let's make it a goal to put Tesla out of business by 2028.

Those are rookie numbers. We gotta pump those numbers up.

You caught on early, and rejected it. There are plenty of new recruits introduced every day, who are taking it seriously.

At least you didn't pronounce it "gif".

Not me.

Tesla is a shitty company, and everyone who works there is shitty. Same for SpaceX. They don't have any excuses left.

Anyone who buys a Tesla from this point forward is also shitty.

My last GF had sex with other men. I knew it. I didn't care. Same as you, when we were together, it was just us. I knew she was careful with who she chose. I didn't want to hear the details, but I was fine when she mentioned it off-handedly after the fact. It was no more concerning than if she'd told me she'd been to the dentist, or went shopping for a new coffee maker. What she did when I wasn't around was irrelevant to "us".

When I was a teen, with my first GF, it was too easy to become jealous.

Over time, and with more experience, I got over myself more after each relationship. By the time I was married, and in the end she had cheated on me, I was sad about losing her and what I thought our life was going to be, but the actual sex with another man didn't bother me. Then, with my last GF, all that mattered was the time when we were together. What she did in her "free time" was her thing. I didn't need to control her, I didn't even want to control her in any way. Love is choosing to be with someone, love isn't choosing NOT to be with someone else. The sooner people figure that out, the easier life is.

Same. I just came in to upvote it. But, also, I take minor pride in knowing what the first comment will be.

Why not both?

If money is the only motivation, and especially if some part of the job is demotivating for you (maybe ethically speaking), then I'd count that as burnout. Remember, they can never pay you what you're worth, because then there'd be no profit for them to leech. Also, the corporate entity has no morality. It's just a machine.

1984. Mondale.

My life-long democrat parents broke ranks and voted for Reagan in 1980. I'll never understand that.

I've never voted for the right, and never will. I vote as far left as I can, believing we need to pull harder to have any hope of getting back to the middle.

When you vote for the lesser of two evils, you're still voting for evil to win.

Statistically, he'll die of poor health in the next four years. He's very unhealthy, and very old. Medicine can only do so much.

Vapers minding their own business, pretending vaping is healthier.

I saw one yesterday in the wild. It's unusual for where I live, we're not rich here, and being a blue state, we're not stupid, either.

Surprisingly, it still had all of it's body panels intact.

Oh. I'm making a scene. A scene covered in gravy, and a side of soft serve ice cream and sprinkles. Lots of sprinkles.

I'm making the transition. I use both, for now.
