Im not being pedantic, that’s literally the idea. Most talk about both simply because most can be had without upfront cost, but that isn’t necessarily a requirement.

My ancestors were forced from their land by the American government in an event known as the Trail of Tears. So this is kinda a mixed bag for me really…

Linux, and other FOS software, are free as in freedom not free as in free beer.

People who have these complaints often have forgotten how hard it was to learn Windows and how hard it was to find info before XP lasted for 14 years. These are all the same problems you would have if you had never seen Windows before. For instance I don’t think you would be complaining about case sensitivity if you had not used a system that wasn’t first. Also, Windows itself is a “skin” on older OSs; Windows retained DOS compatibility for years and many of it’s quirks, like the case sensitive thing, are a result of that. Not to mention that the WinNT kernel was built on from the Win32 kernel (itself an upgrade of the Win16 kernel) and IBM’s OS/2. There are literally screens in Windows 11 that are the same screen they were in Windows 95, the format dialogue for instance.

What about it? Pointing out what confused me doesn’t make me any less confused.

I did. Were they forced to be there?

I don’t think people would go to one unless they cared which is part of why I am confused. Out of context this just comes off as somebody bragging about being an ass to a random fan.

Exactly. But most people just say 8-5 is 8 hours without thinking about it.

Finally somebody who properly did the math and understands that 8-5 is not 8 hours.

I’m confused. I get the The Exorcist reference but I don’t get why it’s relevant here or why this person is going places where people can talk to them about the game if they don’t want people talking to them about the game.

Because 12 years is barely even enough time to graduate high school?

Heat is so easily retained in space that when the Shuttle launched they only had 4 hours to open the cargo doors to expose the radiators or the cabin and electronics would overheat and they would have to scrub the mission. They never had to scrub for that reason though.

To a certain extent, insofar as keeping capitalism is concerned, I think this is a failure of education. These companies supposedly pay taxes too and that money should go to educating the populace on ramifications of choosing, for instance, Doritos.

I think people tend to forget that at the Alamo they were fighting to protect slavery… Texas has always been a refuge of those who seek to oppress.

And a lawsuit….

AFAIK you also have to work up to the driver positions. Off the street you work the sorting machines and shit.

This is also why the Arcade* version of the 360 flopped so hard.

* Back in the early-ish days of the 360 it didn’t have an HDMI port and it had memory card slots. They also sold one with an HDMI port called the 360 Elite and a cheaper one with no HDMI and no HDD (though one could be purchased separately and added later) designed to be used with memory cards exclusively called the 360 Arcade. The no HDMI boards were the ones most susceptible to the Red Ring of Death.

I’m not in California but I have a CS degree and am going on 15 months of unemployment.

This is absolutely untrue. Most people can see the 60hz strobe of the US electrical grid. This is why cheap night lights seem to flash.

sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade -y

=

sudo dnf update -y

For most systems. If you can get apt you can get any of them.
