Hoof prints I believe

It’s about as stable as a hardened alcoholic

It’s absolutely AI bullshit. Look at the dash in the second paragraph. That’s not a - that’s standard on keyboards, that’s a emdash, which is mostly used in the books that LLMs trained on.

For a closer reference: Regular dash:- Em dash: —

I had to copy that from your post because my phone’s keyboard doesn’t have the symbol

As long as it’s German, I’m okay with this. I refuse to learn that fucked up French counting

NO WAIT PLEASE TAKE US I’M BEGGING! I’LL EVEN DRINK YOUR TEA INSTEAD OF SWEET TEA!

Pretty hard to protest or take action with the flu

Would definitely highly recommend Viva New Vegas as recommended above! There’s an easy mod list that just gets things working, and an expanded list that adds niceties and features.

I’d also recommend Simple Open Strip and Simple Open Freeside, though be aware that quest mods that put NPCs in those locations are very likely to break

No, it sucks ass to get working. Unfortunately, modding in general sucks ass to get working on Linux overall

Some of us would prefer to not die, thanks

You don’t want Austin. That’s where all the tech billionaires are retreating to

… Do people open docx and odt files in VIM? Fuckin why?

Suicide?

I’m not sure what that entire bat shit crazy comment means honestly

Nah, it’s just a little buzzed

I suspect a lot of people (myself included) might tend to skip over the text section since a lot of the time it’s some useless AI summary

Okay honest question, what does the # actually do? Every time I try and use it (fedora 42), it just doesn’t run

Trump’s responsible for numerous issues, but the variety at Aldi for anything outside the bare essentials (basically bread and dairy products), has always sucked. It’s part of their core business model to have very few products that can’t just fly off the shelf. They do have some extra stuff, but it’s usually cheap and seasonally relevant

I’ve posted the script!

Basically it goes like this -

Imagine a stranger is standing over your shoulder with a notepad and a camera. Every couple seconds, he takes a photo of what you’re doing and writes down everything you’ve typed. Then, the man hands that information off to another person. When you ask what that person is going to do with the info, the stranger assures you that he’s a friend and your information is perfectly safe.

You don’t know what it’s being used for, and you can’t be certain that the second stranger will actually keep your information safe. What if he just tosses it into an unlocked file cabinet? Anyone can now just come along and grab your information. That could be something as simple as something you looked at on Facebook. Or, it could contain your banking login. You can’t be certain what they’re taking notes and photos of, and what they or the strangers they supposedly trust are going to do with your information…

So basically just explaining what Recall and data selling are using metaphor combined with a not insignificant amount of fear mongering. The best way I’ve found to explain 99% of computer concepts to lay people is to avoid mentioning a computer as much as possible. This varies depending on the age of the person, but most of the time I’m cleaning or setting up computers and laptops, I’m doing it for someone 50+

I do a lot of work setting up computers and laptops for people, mostly getting software they need installed and setting up ad blocking so I don’t need to come back later on and clean up a million viruses.

Lately, I’ve been offering a discount to people that allow me to get rid of windows entirely and install Linux, with the option to reinstall Windows for free later. I’ve had several people take me up on the offer, especially once I explain what Recall is to them. Only 1 has had me switch it back, and they needed to use some super niche piece of software that I just absolutely could not get running with wine no matter what I installed, and I suspect that it has something built in to make it not run on non-windows systems.

Basically, just explaining Microsoft’s security nightmare in a way that your average person can understand (and I mean a real average person, not the average person as people on Linux forums see them) has gotten over 2 dozen clients to switch over to Linux with minimal issues.

Also windows borking like 5 peoples SSDs certainly helped!
