Same. Loaded Ubuntu on an under-specced (for Windows) Dell laptop a couple years ago. No niche OS, no obscure hardware. Out of the box, wifi won’t stay connected for more than a few minutes. Literally no other device on the network (Android, Windows, Roku, etc) has wifi issues. Load Windows back on, it works fine.

Linux is never going to take off until basic functionality works reliably. I’m not asking for the moon, here.

Voting no on this CR is not voting for a shutdown. It’s voting for a different CR. Voting yes is giving up without a fight and giving Trump whatever he wants. This is the first chance since the election for the Democrats to oppose Trump through official channels, and Schumer rolled over immediately. If they do nothing now, we already have a one-party autocracy.

Appeasing fascists is a time-tested losing strategy. If the choice is between shutdown and give Trump whatever he wants, I think the answer should be clear. Trump is already speed running a federal collapse. Might as well deny him the damage he would do in the interim.

I’ve been donating for a while. Not pleased to learn about the lavish CEO pay. Probably going to stop.

Good Lord, I thought that was just the OP’s screwup. Nope, it’s on the actual source page. What a bummer.

Newsweek could report that the sky was blue, and I’d still look for a second source before believing it.

But I was hysterically assured that AI was going to take all our jobs?

As a sysadmin in a Microsoft shop, it has a lot of management features that I like. Users generally love Chrome and hate Firefox (for some reason, I dunno) so Edge was a good compromise while it still supported ublock.

Can’t tell if this is satire or just more deluded, out of touch wishful thinking. Don’t get me wrong: I would LOVE to see Microsoft dethroned. But Windows would have to become literally unusable before we see a mass migration to Linux.

The bots have really ramped up since Trump took office again. Seeing so many top comments with thousands of upvotes just gaslighting the shit out of frightened Americans, telling them they need to touch grass and everything is fine…it’s so chilling.

Yeah, or just dead people.

Entertainment for his cultists. They like seeing troops on the border. More importantly, they’re tearing down the global economy on purpose so they can remake it as they please. If Trump gets his demands met, he knows he can go farther next time. If not, things collapse and his accelerationist billionaire buddies are happy.
