I wish I was kidding! My school district wasn't too bright.

They told me in high school that the electoral college was still necessary because counting the popular vote was too hard...

I just love how they try to trick you into paying for shipping even if they're like "Congratulations! Your order qualifies for free shipping!"

Depends. Unless you're on Ubuntu or Elementary, Flatpak and Snap are optional. When I'm on Arch, btw, I don't bother with any of those and just use the AUR with a helper like yay.

But I find the convenience of Flathub too good to pass up on other distros. I have been using Linux long enough to remember when the only options if your distro didn't ship something were to compile from source or to use a sketchy installer script, because Flatpak didn't exist. And as others mentioned, if you're using a full desktop environment, it likely can update everything at once via the GUI.

Came here to say this. ChatGPT is very good at coming up with convincing bullshit. Always do your own research.

Web devs never learn.

Chrome is the new IE.

The popular choice isn't always the best one.

The new Mario movie comes to mind for me. I don't normally watch movies, but I agree with the 95% audience score even though critics hated it. Everybody else I know who saw the movie liked it too.

Yeah, from what I understand, he said he was going to buy it, then changed his mind, then the shareholders sued him because I guess there was a tentative deal.

Just shows me that Elon doesn't know what the hell he's doing, so spez looks up to him now? Yeah, I'm lost too.

Makes you wonder why he bought it in the first place. He's thrown everything away: the employees, the offices, the code, and now the brand.

For anyone who doesn't know, I was quoting their union-busting videos.

Amazon and Lowe's use that same line.
