He also did not show the troubleshooting afterwards or even testing another distro which can be done very quickly, and declared that Linux still isn’t a good out of the box experience after just one test.

Because he had people waiting for him in a game lobby (that’s the thing I’d actually give him shit for, trying out a new OS at a LAN) and decided to fall back to a known working OS to be able to get on with his day. And that’s exactly what many average users would do in a similar situation (not necessarily sitting at a LAN but maybe urgently needing to get on with productive task x y or z instead of troubleshooting).

He also did not declare “that Linux still isn’t a good out of the box experience after just one test.”, this is a multi part series and he already said he tried different distros afterwards.

I really hope he realises how not for his use case it is

Installing a deck verified game with a gold protondb rating and playing it?

What’s the difference between watching him struggle with popos or having my mother do the same?

I can’t watch your mom on youtube? Average windows users will want to know if they can make the switch with their average windows user knowledge and approach, that’s valuable information to them.

If he used all these special resources he has, that would be akin to those “I built this super awesome table from scrap wood I found behind my local supermarket” videos that fail to mention they also used the 100.000 bucks worth of tools in their professional woodworking shop. And people would then rightfully complain about that.

And a new user trying to pick a distro would know and understand that … how? Because that’s the experience he’s trying to emulate.

I frequently see pop os recommended on lemmy too, so please don’t act like it’s obviously some outrageously silly choice.

They also managed without medicine. And a lot of people died.

Just because there is an undeniable police problem I wouldn’t want to go back to vigilantes taking revenge by cutting people’s ears off or something.

I use excel for my daily work. I have no idea what Power Query is. I have never used a pivot table. I use xlookup maybe once a year. My co-workers immediately zone out when I try to explain that function to them. Most of them use + - * / sum and maybe an average from time to time. They think I’m a hacker because I wrote a custom function for a calculation I frequently need.

From my experience with people in offices I’m pretty sure I’m on the tech savvier side of the user base and the vast majority of users will never actually see the difference in functionality between excel and calc.

In Germany, where I’m from, FDP (“die Liberalen”) is a prime example. They are notorious for campaigning on civil liberties issues and then, once in government, dropping most or all of them in favor of radical deregulation and tax gifts for rich people.

Enacting progressive taxation, punishing white collar crime, establishing strong environmental protections, establishing a strong social safety net, ensuring high quality universal healthcare, enforcing anti-trust legislation, and enacting electoral finance reforms are all things that liberals support

Those are all things that the liberals of old supported. But the parties that call themselves “liberal” today are usually strictly neoliberal. So that’s what people have come to associate with the term.

Baldur’s Gate.

in the event of like complete societal collapse or hyperinflation, they could use it for purchasing.

They are going to learn that you can’t eat gold. It has next to no purpose other than looking pretty, and that’s not going to matter much anymore in one of these events. It’s value is as speculative as any other.

So, am I the only one with terrible performance when booting from USB? Really long input lag, loading times, all that. I figured it wasn’t a big deal for installing once and occasional troubleshooting, but it’s not really representative of the normal experience booting from my ssd.

That one hook on the key hanger is mine, and I will keep moving my GF’s keys to the next one every afternoon until she learns.

Keepass 2 / Keepass XC actually has a function for this case and does pretty well in merging the two conflicting versions of the database.

These three people and neoliberals don’t have anything in common. They’ll stand at opposite ends of almost every political spectrum imaginable.

Better. We bought the airport. Google was paid to pave the runway and maintain it for a couple years after. And now they try to dictate that only planes they approve may start and land.

and even the damn police was pissed to be instrumentalized by 1 Penis like that

The funniest bit was when they repeatedly painted over a mural that cited the insult in the dark of the night.

I am half awake at least 15 minutes before my alarm. As soon as I hear the first 3 notes I sit straight in bed and get up.

I hate being like this.

They have not been declared illegal (yet). The lower court just has to consider additional aspects according to the BGH and may possibly come to a different decision. In any case this only applies to adblock plus for now.
