I do use windows for work as well, but if people want adoption, it starts at home. I do see a need for Linux distros in general will have to make even a bigger shift for the user needs instead of whatever agenda people like to imply (I think open source is a good goal, but if I introduce Linux to someone, I will not for certain preach endlessly about this).

We need more adoption, but I also see some camps will decide to further distance themselves from these groups of users.

As people already stated in the comments, this may not be a permanent change for some (they find out something like destiny 2 refuses to work on Linux without bans, some other tools needed for certain use cases are not there yet or windows only), but I think is super important people understand there are alternatives, and not only windows or Mac. Hopefully gives more people awareness that something else is out there. And would be really cool if we had more of the user base that is on the verge to throwing away the machine because of windows 11 restrictions and instead, gives machines a second chance.

This reminds me of this one

It uses Linux? That’s actually nice to see (but do you really need a full blown OS to show a logo?)

There is a podcast about this called “better offline”. I will say right off the bat: his delivery is not always great, but at least explains clearly what is wrong with ai at this point. From an economical stand point, this whole endeavour is weird that is even a thing. However, we have bosses that are SALIVATING to get people replaced, because frankly they cannot think of anything else.

I had this problem several times as well. I was told once I should at least extent my hand and be the one starting the conversation. Thing is, if I am doing that all the time and I never have it the other way around, means 2 things: either they don’t care enough to even ask how I am doing, and/or take for granted I deal with that.

Most relationships are a 2 way street. You may start the conversation a couple of times, but if you keep doing with 0 payout, eventually falls off.

This also reminds me of the people that only bother to tell something on birthdays (only if it is visible somewhere like LinkedIn or so), and/or Xmas just to give happy birthday/holidays. If the conversation is that short every time (get felicitations and say thanks, not much more), then maybe don’t bother saying anything at all. And please, do not only reach out when you have problems. If we didn’t talk for years, and you tell me how I am doing just to ask for a favor, please kindly fuck off. Got several time those as well.

I am using them on a small storage box (around 2tb) and I am quite happy with it. One of the things that I particularly liked is the documentation. If you have a use case for rsync, Borg backup or others, it’s probably covered in their documentation (plus, never had an outage or issue with my data). I didn’t use their support at this point, but ibheard good things about it as well.

Although you are correct (I think), with verified status you can actually open a ticket in case something does not work with proton. Usually the verified status is good for this use case. I do not know if games that are not verified can actually get support inside steam for proton (I doubt it).

Friendly reminder to check your car’s tires today! Do not delay it until is too late!

… I got brain damage reading this

Frankly? No idea. I know taxidermy can be a touchy subject, but I do not know how it is treated. And mind you, this is eBay around early 2000’s

What I mean is: usually a laptop the keyboard part stays on the table and the screen is up. Imagine you reverse this: you pit the screen down on the table and the bottom part is now vertical. This way the touchpad seems to work

No warranty at this point

Yes exactly. Got it from eBay. I cannot tell for sure is 100% new, but by the status of it, sure looks new to me (it feels new as well when using the trackpad. Clicks are good when it is actually in position)

I thought at some point the issue was exactly that, but in this case, with pop os. I had pop os, reverted to windows 10, tried windows 11, some point had bazzite, but nothing worked at all. At this point I can only say it has to be hardware failure, hence changing the track pad

OK good to know. Thanks for letting us know! So that means they are making it “free” for a week to try to brush off the negative reviews, but probably also make more people accept the ToS.

Just another day for 2k being trash. Question: did this change happen when they made this game “free”? If so, these suckers are poisoning the well for future giveaways. One detail: you can claim this on steam, but grab a previous version from somewhere else without this trash, profit.
