It would be nice if they were prosecuted, as one of their DOGE members leaked the Social Security numbers in plaintext for every malicious actor to take advantage of. All because they were a stupid, brash fool that thought they could do something and not get caught. 🙄🤬

LMAO Just normal behavior for a convict who should’ve never been in office.

She’s trying to rehab her image, these are not the actions that a person who wants to truly change. Marjorie Taylor Greene is never going to change her racist, conspiracy fueled ideologies. She’ll just temporarily seem like a rational and reasonable person, try to make the far right lose their moment due to SPITE, not from a well-meaning place. A great Youtube creator, Parkrose Permaculture is calling out this common behavior we’ve seen from MTG.

Oh, it’s time to get my Representatives on the Phone, bother them about this brand-new change that will make everyone’s lives better! It just sucks that I had to go to the city’s website because Abqjournal is blocking anyone who doesn’t disable ad-block (in this day and age, it’s non-negotiable).

Every accusation is an admission of guilt from these people, as Trump knows damn well he’d be the one giving illegal orders. Like the rest of these chuds like Stephen Miller and that one day drunk dude I can’t remember the name of, they are frothing at the mouth to give illegal orders though. Thankfully, protesters haven’t given them the excuse they crave and desire.

I haven’t met anyone I’d consider truly evil, sometimes a bit messed up in the head…There are people I unconsciously stay outside the orbit of, though, for some reason I can’t fully put into words. It could be for any reason, probably social anxiety…

I think you shut down all the future disrespect that would be coming your way, with the level of response you chose. It’s a lot more tactful than I would’ve done in that situation. As penis size is literally a biological dice roll that all men face upon being born.

Yeah, Microsoft’s dirty plays and nasty deals are the only way they’ll get ahead; as there are so many reasonable tech-savvy people who angrily use Windows, but could never enjoy it or recommend it. There are those like me who installed Linux and never looked back at the Broken Window OS that is getting crammed with total AI nonsense; Microsoft has gone 1000% off the rails, only trying to please their shareholders with things that fundamentally destroy consumer trust.

They have to prep the youth of the future to learn to tolerate such a miasmic OS that doesn’t respect users in the slightest. Just like Apple does, because their continued success relies on school children enjoying their operating systems and not discovering that alternatives (like Linux) exist.

Yikes, sounds absolutely like a desperate play to maintain relevance. AI is already hemorrhaging money…It would be nice if they could leave teachers and kids alone. These AI chuds need to fail off in the distance without causing any more issues.

Good thing I read this article…Corporate greed, it’s pathetic! I pay more for Experience More, that should be enough to at least get a few crumbs of perks?!

If only the author actually reported on the post install experience, that would’ve been helpful for people looking to switch to a Linux distro…Kinda annoying they paywalled the article (thankfully, you’ve provided an Archive Link). I do agree with the author’s suspicions that Windows is only going to get worse due to the AI bullshit that Microsoft is infecting Windows with; Windows, is at a breaking point because vibe coding is ruining update quality, a human hand is key to maintaining such a complex OS.

After seeing the writing on the wall during the initial Recall situation, I permanently switched to Ubuntu (dabbled in other distros, before returning to Ubuntu). Gotta say, having full control over my operating system is nice. I only borked it around 11 times in the years of being on Ubuntu and others (mostly due to devil may care experimentation and a healthy amount of backed up data). Most of the time, I even recovered from the TTYL 3 screen, snatching victory from the jaws of defeat. Linux is in a better place than years past, Ubuntu, Zorin OS, and Mint are very usable for beginners who just want a PC that works. Valve’s experimentation with Linux and funding development work done by Arch and others has smoothed out a lot of the bug bears associated with gaming, there are few barriers to entry.

Outside the hostile big publishers who use anti-cheat that makes their games not run on a Linux distro via Proton Compatibility Layer (Rockstar are the prime assholes doing this, among others I can’t rightly recall).

This basic tutorial explains the steps to installing a Linux distro (Ubuntu is recommended as it is easy) in detail, and plain language. Read it several times, until you feel comfortable. Ubuntu is the distro I started with, as drivers are easy to deal with and can be installed during the installation process without fuss (unlike some distros, side-eyes Fedora with slanderous intent).

One detail, Balena Etcher is the application this author refers to when mentioning “Etcher” Installing Ubuntu

Edit, I forgot to include the New User Guide, based on category!

While I have always found GNOME to be extremely limiting and highly opinionated, I don’t mind this change. Wayland has improved quite a bit and will only get better with time, x11 is an aging standard. It’s natural that it will eventually be dropped in favor of a new one. Wayland too will be in this position as another display server replaces it as well.
