I'm bugged by decontamination gel.
Why is it so randomly used? Why doesn't Shran have to use it ever? Did Phlox have to rub it on all of his animals? What's in it?

I don't disagree with you.
All I want is for some objective statements about different distros. Like tell me what distro is a full time job to maintain. Tell me what distro is sending me to the command line all of the time. Give me some basic functionality benchmarks (search time, opening a browser and boot time) on a low, mid and high end computer.
I have to vote for Martine.
This is a very good selection of books, but I would like for "classic" sci-fi to have it's own category. I love Hyperion, necromancer and the expanse series, but I think they start to choke out newer/fringe books. Especially if the the plan is to vote on what book is next.
Fuck Microsoft, switch to Linux
Absolutely. But I wouldn't hold my breath on companies actually stopping use of MS.
The issue is new users.
If you have a vague understanding that Linux has distros and to switch to Linux, you'll likely Google "best Linux distro." Results that say "they all are good for different reasons" are unhelpful. Having sort through 50 options isn't helpful.
New users want to know what to install. This means that some distros get hyped up as the best, and then people point out the cracks.
Until there is a clear and objective list of distros with pros and cons labeled the cycle will continue.
If you think it's crazy your school uses three year old programs wait until you find out how many businesses are running XP!
Didn't Microsoft lose a large anti trust court case about this shit for internet explorer?
Yes and no.
MS made Internet explorer uninstallable and made it even if you could install Netscape you couldn't set it as the default app. Forcing teams to open ~~internet explorer~~ edge is more in line with iPhones and Android. Both phone OSs will let you install different browsers, but opening links from most 1st party apps opens safari or chrome with no real way to change it. It's one of the worst things about phones and now MS is trying to move Windows that direction.
It's going to get worse. Once corporations start to adopt edge MS will move to make browser office the only office. Clicking a .doc in edge will redirect to browser word 365. Saving already defaults to the cloud, soon we'll have "virtual downloads" that save your download to your cloud and you can only meaningfully interact with it via edge.
We need more legislation and regulations allowing software choice for all platforms. We've never been allowed to own software, now we can't even buy a perpetual license. Soon we won't be allowed to have a copy of software saved on our devices, and files made by that software won't be allowed on our computers either.
Valve is such a weird company.
They became where nearly every PC game is sold by using some of the greatest games of all time as advertising. The orange box has to be the biggest return on a loss leader ever.
Reviews have gotten stupid.
Let's look at DISCO. Users put it at 37%. That's about as bad as "Cop Out," "Howard the duck", "the adventures of sharkboy and lavagirl" and something called "four kids and it."
I'm not a fan of DISCO, it takes itself too seriously, solves most problems with violence, has no chemistry between crew members and refuses to spend time developing most characters. That being said, it sure as heck is a lot better than "Howard the duck".
Let's look at a couple audience reviews to see where the hate is coming from (actual quotes from IMDB user reviews)- "Should have been called Star Woke" "Too busy being woke" "If a character is a straight white man they are evil"
Oh no. It's bigotry.
User reviews have become bombarded by conservatives pushing an agenda. An agenda that says that any representation is harmful and offensive. It's impossible to gain real insight on user experiences through online polls because of a loud minority crying about seeing a black/queer/Asian/trans/educated/disabled person.
It makes it hard to criticize shows due to the "anti-woke" offering you a robe when you say something bad about a show with a woman.
I'm thinking about making the switch soon, can you tell me why you went pop_OS instead of mint?
I'm getting overwhelmed with options and just want to know why you went with one over the other
Give it another shot. It was legitimately cancelled too soon.
And if you watch it you'll feel your dream come alive at last, you will touch the sky. And they're not going to hold you down no more, no, they're not gonna change your mind. Because you'll have faith of the heart, strength of the soul.
