Thanks. I’m currently giving Ubuntu 14.04 LTS a try. Looks like it should work. We’ll know once it’s installed.

Interesting how we’ve all become accustomed to the notion that “agreeing to arbitration” has just become “waving your consumer rights” and no lawmaker is pushing to have that fixed.

These can usually be quickly and easily adjusted without tools. IMO it’s kind of a douche move from the owner to not even bother checking that his sprinklers aren’t spraying the sidewalk.

Now I’ve learned enough to know that I can easily learn what all that apparent gibberish does with the “man” command, but you have no idea how unbelievably unapproachable this makes Linux look to the uninitiated.

They should have all walked in formation with the one in the front making train noises

Or even “the bored shithead sets fire to things”

And of course his towers are made to look like they are made out of gold. Other rich people must find him cringe.

Holy crap if they started doing that in my area I’d switch to an EV within a month.

Point said nozzle towards offending ad dispensing machine, squeeze trigger for a few moments, light a match, tell yourself that it was all worth it while recovering in a jail hospital.

They just blatantly ignore your preferences because they know there will be no consequences.

The one thing that generally works well in Canada at least is that they must provide a way to unsubscribe at the bottom of the email. The complaint process is relatively simple and the fines for violations are steep.

Specifically make sure that the “subscribe to newsletter and offers” is NOT checked.

Get a marketing email from them within 24 hours anyway.

It’s like Windows if it was made by people who care about making a good operating system instead of by a big corporation who only cares about milking the crap of its users for money by collecting their data and forcing unwanted features down their throats.

Linux is based on open source code, which means the inner workings of the system are free knowledge and is freely accessible. Any development team is free to use it as a base and modify it or build upon it as they please. There are different teams making their own version of Linux with different features. They are called distributions, or “distros” with different features that appeal to different users. Even individual Linux users will generally have far more control over their operating system than Windows users.

Linux used to be not very user friendly and only approachable by more technical savvy people. Now however, there are distributions out there that are simple and approachable for almost anyone willing to learn a little.

This begs for a photoshopped Darth Vader helmet

Shake My Lethargic Brain

I can hear its laborious breathing in the picture

A lot of people I’ve seen in Lamborghini cars aren’t serious about their lives. They’re spoiled idiots who lucked out and got a ton of money handed to them and are driving it around to show off how much money they have as if they deserved it.

What if G1 is lying and both of them always tell lies?

Why? Wouldn’t you gain a third limb to push up with?
