Dude! I’m far more ludicrously incompetent than you! Leave these things to the real pros!

Took me way too long to figure out this stuff is called B Cache FS and not BCA Chefs.

Obviously. I use Mint, by the way.

People who didn’t have computers before smartphones came around, don’t have computers now. For a lot of people the phone will be the first and only computer they use. As for convergence, yes, it’s happening. A modern smartphone is powerful enough tu run a desktop OS. That would be good enough for most tasks of most people. Google are working to bring that to the Pixels, Samsung had Dex for a long time. But again, that will only be relevant for people who want to use computers.

If you have a British or American accent, people will find it cute. If you have an eastern European or middle Eastern accent, not so much.

It took me over a year too. I was using a mini PC with Mint but still kept my old Windows PC under my desk. When I built a new PC, it never got defiled, though.

If they lobotomize Grok into spouting nothing but far right propaganda, it’ll also completely trash whatever commercial potential it might have had.

Democracy has three main elements: free and fair elections, the rule of law and the separation of powers. You haven’t said anything about the other two.

I bet the Chinese are gagging to shoot down an F-35.

Your mother worships some fake preacher they executed in Iudea, you filthy red!

Holy crap. That looks like half the country.

This person is not arguing in good faith and is just looking to make trouble. Engaging with people like that is as frustrating as it is futile.

Try putting it in the microwave.

They’re just waiting for that. It’ll give them a pretext for more repression.

Waking up your kid at six on the weekend is just cruel.

They’re working very hard to make the USA more like Saudi Arabia.
