I actually have one, as well as a 3d printer, I was sort of toying with the idea of taking the thermal pad, printing a base that looks like my router, and installing some tiny fans to blow the slightly warm air upwards, it would be a biggish product but I'd be down for her to keep the spot while I keep my router free of heat damage
I actually did a similar project for her which you can see in the Bottom left, it's a little monitor that actually works and used to play bird videos so she could sit next to my desk and feel like she had her own monitor. Since then I've repurposed it to run a media server but she still gets to look at it i suppose . The back says peppersoft
Of course, none of us would actually do that, but what I'm trying to say is that's the threshold. For linux to become mainstream like plenty of users on here seem to vehemently believe, it HAS to start taking cues from windows, that means easier install methods, dumbed down and less terminal based procedures, and more support from mainstream and less open source software manufacturers. Otherwise the average person is going to look at linux and say "that looks hard." full stop.
And I would reckon a lot of those changes would not go over well with current Linux userbase
Bet, go ahead and grab your parents or the nearest old fart you know who isn't tech savvy and try to get them to install linux, libre Office, and thunderbird and attempt to use it.
$100 says they won't make it through using rufus without help
This is absolutely the attitude he was just talking about, you can't agree, then add a "but"
Linux is not the fix for all that ails you, and it's especially not the fix for non tech-savvy people, which as a reminder, is most people. Lemmy is not a good baseline for this because we're all savvy enough to get onto the fediverse in the first place, which in itself is very confusing if you're non tech savvy or coming from a place like reddit, where things are so fundamentally different.( Which i know for a fact most of you have experienced at some point)
I think it means you've got a likely chance to kill again for personal means or even pleasure, single offenders are more likely to have killed for revenge or in self defence, I'm sure it's more nuanced than that though
I was born in the 90s so obviously I don't have the same experience, but when I was little my parents would, once or twice a month take me to borders and let me choose any comic book I wanted, I always got two spiderman comics and maybe an x-men or Archie comic and would read them obsessively until the next visit. But I loved the busy, yet quiet atmosphere and the smell of the coffee they made at the little shop within the store, I was super sad when borders closed for good
I loved harry potter for that, up until I think the 5th movie where its not really set in the school anymore and didn't have that wonder to it, it was more serious, I think the school did a lot for the whimsical aspect of the series
She is a very pretty, spicy girl
