The kids can be alright.

I get it but let me give you an example of the sort of thing Linux is dealing with:

I have a nephew who wanted a PC, and had a small budget (they where 11 at the time and I was not going to let them pay) so I used some parts around and made a not so bad mint machine. It worked very well but can not play fortnight (not an issue with mint or the hardware) or other such anti-cheat games. The child was ok with it but his parents got mad at me as to why I would not just “be normal” and put a real operating system on the machine. They tried to tell my nephew that he should not use his PC until they can bring it to someone that can “fix” it by putting windows on it (they are kinda asshats). Lucky for my nephew the place they took the PC said the same thing I did and that it would not run as well with windows on it, but would do it if they wanted (they said no when they got the cost).

So the PC gets used and is enjoyed (it was the nephews birthday present from me), and used by his father as much as him. But all this time I am getting constant complaints about the “weird stuff” I forced on them, and that one day they will get him a “real” computer. Keep in mind my brother has a PC that is running windows that has more bloat and malware then you would think possible at this time (I think why he kept using his son’s) that was about the same in hardware (1060, am4 3600ish, 8 gigs of ram sort of machines). The mint PC was clearly better, and when their child started to point out how much more time my brother spent on his Linux computer then his own my brother just happened to “spill” a whole glass of water directly into his son’s computer. Then he hid the PC away and just blamed it not working on the “bad software” that it was running, and how it was a “trash” machine anyway. (I did get it back eventually, replaced the board and shipped it back to my nephew who is now using it again).

So the point of the story is this, would you if you had to deal with users (and lets assume you are not related to them) like this put Linux on their machines or just not want to deal with them and put a ripped and custom windows on it?

This is how we get trailer parks in tornado alley. Or mold infested hovels.

My introduction to banana flavor was the penicillin liquid medicine as a kid, I got in a bit of trouble drinking the whole bottle at night, and more trouble by doing it to every bottle I could find later (my siblings illness was a small price to pay). I have been chasing that high of flavor ever since. My parents tried to give me “real” bananas after but they are but a pale imitation that only dulls the edge of my craving.

Blasphemy!

Maybe, but they are right (AI or fleshbag). I love artificial banana flavour way more then the current banana and have dived deep into the madness that is the banana industry. We are eating lies when we could have been eating Gros Michels if only greed did not prevail.

His best invention was the bed that killed him! If only those who designed the “smart” beds that need functioning network access (and working AWS) had all been in one.

Ha, this reminds me of the death of the guy that gave the world lead poisoning.

And remember this is from the “left” party in the UK.

No doubt there are Americans downvoting

Not an american, you are still being silly. Also you sound american with all that rollover attitude to authority. They are outlawing peaceful protesting, the solution is not to keep doing the same thing but with more smugness.

What is wrong with Estonia? Why are their prisons being compared to death camps in El Salvador?

Are you implying that the us government did that? Because if not your not making sense.

The bay of pigs all over again, but sexier.

Shocking easy and a whole hobby on itself

Don’t bad mouth Estonia without reason. The comparison to El Salvador is insulting.

That does not explain it at all, a “good” job?! It was like a 3000 sq feet apartment in new York, where they astronaut stripper day trading porn stars?!

Also many of the plot directions don’t work if they have access to money (hell you did not even touch on Phoebe). I get that it was TV and they needed good shots but at least Fraser made some sense with it.

I always found it immersion breaking that they lived in the massive place they did, and that was before I released it was set in New York of all cities. Like all sitcoms tended to gloss over money but Friends was just a step to far for me.

And that is why the us is no longer a democracy, if someone is right wing leaning they are going to vote for the republicans, but if they are not then they are forced to vote for the “not as bad” party. Issue to me is, every time someone has to swallow their convictions and vote for the lesser evil they get a a bit more disgruntled. After so many years of being worn down, combined with low wages and higher costs of living people start to check out or vote for the worst out of spite.

Big tent politics always seem to fail, the parties that do this tend to lose a coherent platform. Issue with the states is that unlike other nations there is only the two parties, and no realistic way to have another. So now the states had evil and evil lite teams instead of like anywhere else where the dems would have been pushed out by a actual left.

There are only two parties in that stupid place, what the hell would they think being diet right would do?

Meat jello and racism!
