it’s been awhile since i dove into Linux, but last time i dabbled i was liking Kubuntu.

Nokia’s got you covered

they also nailed the minimalist vibe better.

personally, i’ve got more important shit going on that what phone people are using. in the case of this phone, it looks like any other number of Android phones with a custom theme.

i’m assuming it’s more than that, but it still looks a bit silly. you can be minimalist and still appreciate things like color.

i don’t think we should act like journalism was in a great place before.

FB capitalized on a weakened industry, but it was the industry itself that was responsible for that state.

they really fucked themselves by not transitioning to the new market, instead insisting that it was the customers that were wrong. all these years later, i’ve yet to see a news outlet that would be worth the subscription fee. they’re mostly recycling content from other, free sites anyway.

once the older crowd passes, traditional news outlets are done for. the ones that remain will be the ones that were providing the content all along.

generally computers won’t stop doing things they were already capable of doing. tons of machines and businesses may rely on older hardware and software to complete specific tasks.

but yeah, a 486 is pretty past its prime, and the task could have been accomplished on something far more modern.

phones and tablets are fine for consuming media. they are noticeably worse at creating it.

i couldn’t imagine typing out long responses, sometimes with links, with a phone or tablet.

as for how many consumers still use PCs, hard to say. i know i don’t go a single day without using mine. whether it’s to play a game, type up a guide for someone to do something, or whatever else. on the flip of that, i also own a ultrabook that i use when i’m away from home. it’s capable of doing many things, but it’s no where near as capable as my desktop setup.

let’s be real here.

none of us are happy with the outcome.

pretty much ALL of us would have settled for $2.4 million.

Lawyers for the FTX founder say he wasn’t motivated by greed but by a desire to better the world through philanthropic giving

the lie detector determined that was a lie.

They’ve been doing it for a very long time now. I’m currently using a 2015 model, Dell Tablet. It has Linux support. Cost me about $250 (with a copy of W10 Pro), a few years back. I also got it with the hard shell keyboard dock, effectively making it a net book.

It’s been a great device, but probably isn’t what OP is looking for.

that’s because you are the product.

that’s because it wasn’t. it still isn’t. the best hardware in the world won’t do anything for you if there’s no software to use it. with the iVRy dev working on this, and with Sony’s announcement, they probably realized it was a inevitability for someone to crack the software problem.

no one ever said it couldn’t be done.

simple misunderstanding. you see in the eyes of the court, he’s innocent until proven guilty. in the eyes of the police officer, there are no innocents, only suspects.

my fave is when they hassle some normal person, and even after finding they did nothing wrong, or were guilty of no crimes, the police will refer to them as a suspect, like you see here.

like they’ll run a search warrant or something and then say, well the person was suspected of having marijuana. did the person actually have anything? no. but he was suspected of it.

pigs eat shit, and i can probably count on one hand the number of them i know that i would be sad if something happened to them. the overwhelming majority of them could suddenly cease to exist and the country would be a MUCH better place for it.

this is just Rick and Morty with more steps.

it’s whataboutism, any time someone follows up a story like this with ‘what about the time X did worse?’

it’s literally the definition of whataboutism. if it weren’t whataboutism, then we wouldn’t be talking about the IDF. we’d instead be talking about the dude pretending to be a journalist by day, and a terrorist by night.

the fact that you don’t know this means two things. either you know and are trying to deflect, or you just flat out don’t know that’s what whataboutism is.

most of the old coke machines use the code 4 2 3 1. these buttons are from the top selection button to the fourth. one will be a back button, another will be the accept button, and the other two will be your up and down buttons.

even if most of the machines are locked out, you’ll usually be able to see a few stats on the machine. kind of fun to mess with.

Border Police opened fire indiscriminately at a vehicle that tried to burst through a checkpoint.

i like how they try to make it sound like the Israelis fired for no reason whatsoever, yet the vehicle tried to run through a checkpoint. that gets you shot at a large number of borders.

it’s sad that the little girl died. i think we can all agree on that.

i’m all for the government breaking up corps, or stopping mergers, but this one needed to happen. however much it cost to get Bobby Kotick gone, is a net positive.

besides, we’re talking about spending Microsoft’s money. they fucking got it. so what’s the fuss?

if the deal had been blocked, how would that have been better for the industry? also, probably the more important question, how would that have been better for the consumer?

he’s testing your resolve.

if you did nothing, you failed.

Huskies are like this too.

Journalism is not a profession or a trade. It is a cheap catch-all for fuckoffs and misfits—a false doorway to the backside of life, a filthy piss-ridden little hole nailed off by the building inspector, but just deep enough for a wino to curl up from the sidewalk and masturbate like a chimp in a zoo-cage. - Hunter Thompson (journalist)

and without a IDF soldier with a marker, you never would have.
