There are a lot of things encroaching on Microsoft these days. Death by a thousand cuts.

While that may be “an option”, 5G sucks compared to coax service.

Both are inferior to fiber by a long shot, but wired will always be better than cellular, which is limited spectrum and inconsistent.

Anker smoke. Don’t breath this.

I second this, although some of the bosses can be quite a challenge.

Or drop nukes on civilian cities.

Or bomb a harbor without provocation.

What’s your fucking point? There were plenty of atrocities during World War 2. You just don’t hear as much about the ones the winners made, because history is written by victors.

What are you even talking about? Debian is fine and extremely stable, which is what you want for a work PC when your pay is on the line.

Nuke Manjaro and install SteamOS on it: A decent, if dated hardware, handheld.

I was more saying cheap “when companies moved in”. Now it just has the workforce and supply chain knowledge/infrastructure because of those investments.

Corporate fucktard assholes are running out of cheap labor around the world. They keep moving it around, but eventually there won’t be any place to go.

“Unfounded US propaganda”.

Are you saying China DIDN’T aggressively take over Hong Kong and all of the businesses that operated there?

Xi is the head of the government in a totalitarian, communist regime. Just because he might be “leaving BYD alone” or whatever today does not mean that couldn’t change in an instant.

The United States is its own form of screwed up and is an absolute mess. I’m not sitting over here going 'US good. China bad". I’m making the point they’re both bad in different ways.

Foreign investment was because of cheap labor and companies being subsidized by the communist government…

BYD might make a better car than Tesla, but saying that a Chinese company isn’t “under the control of Xi Jinping”, the guy who crushed Hong Kong for having too much independence and wants to do the same with Taiwan, is laughable.

No you’re dead on.

I think you missed the joke.

…uh…cool…

What a joke. Development for 10 years and you just cancel it like a fart in the wind. I’d be utterly ashamed at that kind of mismanagement.

AI has been a net-negative for society.

While Biden is 100% a supporter of genocide, Trump is all that AND more.

There are actually studies that show intelligence and more explicit language go hand-in-hand, so it’s actually the opposite of your presumption. When I find it, I’ll link the study here in a comment edit.

Oh…huh…I didn’t even know we had cake days on Lemmy. Haha. Thanks.

IPv6 should be the preferred option. It’s the same on Windows and MacOS.

If you have IPv6 issues, just turn off IPv6 on the adapter you’re using.

Calling it a “Fischer Price” distro is a little patronizing. I’m a seasoned Linux user and I use Mint for work because I just want something that works when my paycheck is on the line. Mint has never broken on me and always works.
