I’m glad I’m not the only one - the article is dissinformation, “fake news” in the purest sense.

Hell yes - as long as it still fits in my pocket. That was a prolem with some of the later Blackberry models.

Me using KDE Plasma because I prefer to work with my computer rather than work on my computer:

No, this is pretty much a USA problem. The rest of us are just trying our best to weather the torrent of brain rot.

Oh, do you mean whoever this other person is? I read your post and was deeply confused about why Brigitte Bardot got so into the weeds with US politics.

It’s so good I still rewatch it every time I come across it.

Google sold Boston Dynamics to Hyundai a few years ago. I wonder if they regret it…

It’s really a great distro, I’ve been using it fulltime on laptop and PC for over a year. Best one I’ve tried so far and for some reason it’s less buggy than EndeavourOS was for me. The only thing I don’t like about it is the name.

I’m surprised you didn’t hear about that, because it was a huge controversy. it was limited to a few countries though (or maybe only the UK?)

Spear-wielding infantry continued to exist well into the gunpowder era, whereas swords were pretty much only used by cavalry at that point (ironically the disappearance of armour made swords relevant again, in the form of the sabre)

Yes, but the creation of the sword was for killing people. They were a status symbol because of that.

Not really “because of that”. The heyday of the sword was during antiquity. Swords as a fighting weapon were later eclipsed by spears and polearms, and yet nobody wore any other weapon as a fashion statement. It’s just that swords were much more expensive to make then a pollaxe or what-have-you, so they were owned by nobility.

Did swords have any purpose besides killing people?

For the last several centuries of their widespread existence, swords were an archaism worn by people as a status symbol and to show their belonging to an in-group - like pickup trucks today in the USA.

Definitely a normal country full of well-adjusted people. We can see evidence of that on a daily basis.

I’ve tried several of these and have to wonder how the author came up with these suggestions, because they’re very different than their American “counterparts” on this list. With that said, I’ve been doing my part and haven’t bought a single bottle of anything from the US since this started. i do miss bourbon - it’s my favourite liquor - but I’ve gotten to try a bunch of nice ryes and other whiskys, irish ones in particular.

Edit: that article actually looks like ChatGPT content, which explains why it’s so bad and inaccurate.

Are they going to start shooting ICE detainees instead?

Americans have been huffing their own farts for so long about their country being the ultimate expression of democracy that they came to see it as an immutable fact of life rather than something that needs constant tending, and now they don’t know how to do it.

The equation they are thinking of, though, is “will the cost of those who actually quit using Windows outweigh the cost of building and maintaining this feature.” Funnily enough the inability to move the taskbar is what finally pushed me to Linux full-time, but the overwhelming majority will complain and stick to Windows.

Dond Trump told his supporters to reject the evidence of their own eyes and ears. It was his final, most essential command.

Nix is to Linux what Tailwind is to CSS
