Eddie Izzard?

What. Could. Be. More. Surprising.

Jump ship to what? It seems like going to Tor browser full time might be the answer?

I'm just not sure what the steps are from Librewolf to More private.

Mmmm, pie. It's better than cake.

How about claiming Gaza before the corpse is cold?

What a fucking country.

Of course, you explained it all...🙄

Thank for the distraction. It was almost a constructive conversation for a minute. Glad you dragged it back into finger pointing.

Trump has no shame - it's the root of his actions. It's impossible to imagine any person acting as he does (seriously proposing to take over Gaza as a permanent solution to war, bullying Zelensky and demanding minerals from a nation under siege), and not being embarrassed.

Nothing reasonable will stop him.

Lead, asbestos, and plastic. I'm barely even human anymore.

It's hard for me to wrap my head around is how many guys my age (over 60) who grew up with Russia as this mysterious fearsome enemy - are just following Trump and going like "yeah yeah Russia not that bad."

How did this sideshow hawker idiot gain their trust so completely?

I'm burning up! (In Celsius)

🎶 Country Folk can survive 🎵

Then why make GUIs, or software installers, or update managers? Let's keep the people in TOP FORM in case of an outage!

Hey, it's not like I don't agree with you, but actually I found myself learning faster in spite of the help. Having someone guide you through something is very educational, and getting things wrong is (sadly) a method of contributing a LOT of detritus into your brain.

"Let's see, I did this last time, but was that when I fucked up or when I fixed it?" I like it better just learning the right way only.

Claude can pay me if they want to. So far no paycheck tho.

You didn't used to have to say "homemade ranch dressing," that's the only kind there was.

My first computer was an Atari 520ST with GEM operating system. Are you older than that?

It's all about support, and enough people not wanting to put up with being annoyed. Windows has the bulk, the sheer hulking size of userbase, that there are myrid tools to help you do almost anything. You don't need to search manuals, the answers are easy to find.

Not so Linux. Sometimes the problem is my Ubuntu, or maybe my hardware, or maybe the Cinnamon desktop, the wrong kernel (I didn't realize I shouldn't update to the most recent kernel....That I should wait and only use the kernel that Linux mint was using.)

So yeah, it's not just "complex system" problems, it's federation complex system problems.

Keep making the product better. Eventually they won't be needed. It's much closer than it was back when I was dual-booting in 2009.

Yep. But you do understand a lot of us don't want to be students of Linux. We just want to do things we want to do. Without having to dig through forums and manual pages to find the solution.

If you want a culture where your niche operating system is dominated by people who read through forums and manual pages to find the needle in the haystack for the problem they're trying to solve, then continue with the mindset that downvotes something that tries to help people who are novices switch to your system. (Because newbie, Claude.ai will help you)

BUT If you want a system that is opened up to people switching from Windows to it, then you need to make it a shit-ton more accessible.

If that means having a virtual assistant who will patiently walk people through the arcane commands required to make scripts to configure WLANs and whatever other required bash commands necessary to get things done...

Not to mention diagnose graphics or whatever problems that they're having and solve them without having spend days weeks or months not being able to use their system...

Then open up your minds a little bit to the idea that AI may assist you in getting there.

But I think that's my point. It was surprisingly not shitty. In fact it was as though someone who knew Linux was on call 24/7 and willing to sit and walk me through very patiently all the steps necessary to do things.

I thought they hated when you count at them

OF COURSE they did.
