Bro what.

They are humiliated only because society has fed them the idea that what they’ve done (in this case not done but happened to them) is wrong. Internalizing shame meted out by society is the real psychological problem we need to fix.

Thank you!!!

That guy is a murderer and his father is an accessory to murder. Where’s the doubt?

No, what that needs is a link to the file. Please!

Hey on that 3tb thing… can I pick and choose folders or parts of folders from the backups?

Or, say, I want to move stuff around in folders… is that possible after the backup has reached them and is only visible to me through their web interface?

You’re saying Kamala has never visited an abortion clinic?

First time I’ve learnt what the past tense of yeet is.

I fall to context again. The person writing is white and clueless enough not to be specific. Clearly. American.

Anyways. We are splitting hair over a silly tweet here.

Notice how the tweet doesn’t say “all people”. Context is everywhere and everything.

It didn’t say which people. Also, I’m from South East Asia and have used Fahrenheit my entire life as a means to measure body temperature using mercury thermometers during fever time. It’s so much easier to say whether a fever is above 100 or not and then how much above 100.

So people do feel in Fahrenheit. A fuck ton of them do.

Yes, I know the meme is about the weather but… take a chill pill and look at your prejudices.

Dude it’s $3 an ounce. Totally worth it.

Destroying the cradle of life wouldn’t destroy the world.

What’s the flaw??

Water is not a molecule.

Ugh. BI. Can we get an archive link please so I don’t have to deal with that shitty website?

The analogy broke down somewhere as I wrote it. Perhaps I should have said “mobile” instead. 😃

OP, you say those folks only launch a chrome browser and so aren’t choosing Linux themselves. Fine. But looking at it from the system perspective, they’re inadvertently learning how to use Linux. How to make WiFi selection in that interface. How to deal with patches and upgrades and vulnerabilities and hacks. Sure, they’re basically only using the browser. But do they never download a file? Open it in the system file browser? Attach it back in the browser?

All of these user interactions are what define a person’s experience on a system. If you think of one of the main differences between iOS and Android, you’ll see how in iOS files are a second class citizen and apps are first class citizens. That means iOS defers to the app first and then considers a file as an independent entity. That’s a strategic decision that defines how generations of iOS users perceive the world around them. It’s what helped companies like Notion become the behemoths they are because everyone accepted that if you want to build a knowledge base, you can just start writing text in an app or browser and not consider files as the first point of contact for the knowledge base user.

By using Linux on a day to day basis, those users are slowly unlearning what they’ve come to understand is the default behavior of a system - most likely whatever Windows does.

Somewhere down the line they’ll crib and hate on windows enough to what something different. That might end up being Mac, but for a large swathe of people, it might end up being some Linux variant too.

You didn’t ask ChatGPT to write it for you???

Ah, that’s an interesting point! I’ve never thought much about the latency caused by Bluetooth. But maybe it’ll be noticeable on the Deck?
