I was super lucky apparently because my degree’s curriculum required C# and ASP.NET, on top of our CTO having a big bug up his ass and hitting the switch that disallowed Linux computers to connect to the wifi. Even connecting Macbooks was a huge headache I guess. Dude didn’t fucking care and would just jerk himself off about how hardened the school’s network was.

My laptop was really shitty too but I ended up running Windows 7 in a VM just to get by. But had to do a lot of bullshit between OSes and in the end, it would have just been way better if I had just bit the bullet and used Windows for the time I was there.

I’m probably an outlier and today it’s probably better but if your school gets kickbacks from M$ and you are going for programming just expect it I guess.

LIbreOffice’s .docx formatting sucks when going between it and M$ Word too but someone else already mentioned that.

Not gonna lie, I thought elementaryOS was gonna take off and I guess it never did. I used it on my school laptop when I was in college for most of the time there. It was fine but mostly just a sleaker looking Mint basically.

when we can resell you the same game from 15 years ago, again, at full price???

Well, there it is.

To be fair her teaching assistant put it on there and she has a tendency of clicking on everything and just isn’t computer literate at all so it was more of an inevitability than anything. It installed a reskinned Chromium that redirected searched so it wasn’t super bad. is ran MalwareBytes and got a few more possible threats too. Glad it wasn’t anything super severe. I’m out of practice lol.

The old search engine hijackers

I literally just cleaned up a computer at my wife’s workplace that had a hijacker on it like 2 weeks ago.

I think the obvious recommendation would be Reform or Revolution. It’s her most famous work and still pretty important to modern theory with regards to people who strive for a reformed mode of socialism compared to Marxist-Leninists who strive for a revolutionary mode.

Favorite movie is Dead Alive(but that is mostly my autism canned response)

Favorite genre is horror(the good and the bad, just all of it)

Both side should just compromise and go with 7.5 genocides.

• Mini wallet with emergency felt tip pen in it
• Casio GWM5610 solar/atomic watch
• phone
• Knife(usually one of the following)
  • Cheap Ganzo beater
  • Not so cheap CMB Made
  • Gerber Dime
  • Leatherman Skeletool
• TruNite USB pocket flashlight
• fidget slider
• worry stone
• Loops and/or Soundcore earbuds
• Kindle e-reader with 350 pirated books on it

Similar mental capacity probs.

Been using Linux for over a decade and I will never go back lol.

My favorite thing about this was from a reddit post where all the shitlibs called them terrorists without a single shread of irony.

I’m as tankie as they come.

I’m not having this issue. I’m using one of the Firefox extensions but don’t get to choose an instance. I just went with the second most popular extensions because I liked the UI better.

DDG being down was the push for me to finally try SearXNG. Used it all day while working on code and it’s been pleasant. The search results are actually meaningful and it’s fast.

Right? They can say it runs locally all they want and not mention that once it’s connected to the internet, telemetry kicks in.

I’d be willing to test it but I’m too busy not using Windows ever again.

And new forms of government such as socialism are generally more succeptible to corruption as people find the new loopholes; as a government gets more corrupt, those who corrupted it seek to consolidate their power.

This is capitalism tho.

For what it’s worth, QMK/VIA/Vial all work on Linux. A few years ago the docs were not complete and I remember I had to run

echo 'PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"' >> $HOME/.bashrc && source $HOME/.bashrc

but on my last install I followed the docs and I guess they are complete currently(or rather I am no longer on a janky system). So basically probably almost anything QMK based is gonna work on Linux. I have 2 Cantor Remixes, A Sweep36, a Ferris Sweep, a Planck, and an XD75 all running Vial which is a similar QMK fork as VIA with a GUI. And they all run fine on Mint with zero issues. I can plug an play on any other system too since the boards used firmware instead or relying on an installed software.

If you want a cheaper option, The Anne Pro 2 has a Linux build of their software but soldered switches so you are stuck with stock. But the board isn’t great, ngl.

For quiet switches, you won’t get a silent clicky switch but if you want the tactile bump and don’t mind it not being as “snappy”, look into something like Gazzew Boba U4. The stems have rubber feet that cushion the noise. You can check YT videos for sound comparisons. They won’t be as good as real world examples but you can get an idea. For chocs, They just released a brand new line of silent v1 switches. The 2 linear variants are already out but the silent Sunset version, which is the low profile equivalent of the Boba, is gonna be out soon. I daily the original Sunsets and they are easily my favorite switch.

I grew one so people would stop thinking I’m 12.

I live in the Panhandle and it’s a hilarious satire on existence. People go to church and talk about community and family, but cheat on their spouses and screech about hyper individualism all the time. They threaten to shoot you with their “come and take it” guns for sneezing too close to their property but then if we get a bunch of snow dumped on us and traffic goes to shit, without fail, the good ol boys in their lifted trucks are all over the high way pulling stuck cars out of the snow. It’s bizarre.
