Why would we want to hear about and end to Trump flags being burned? I mean, as long as they're old and people aren't sending money his way ๐Ÿคท

It's all the places in Canada where you can find maple leaves.

Just use Gentoo. Do it from scratch on the command line without the GUI installer like a pro ๐Ÿ‘

At the very least you'll learn how everything works at a deeper level.

It's more that they got sweaty and uncomfortable. Kids need to move around, ya know?

To be fair, carrying a child on your back can be fun for MAX an hour at a time. So maybe perfect for a video game ๐Ÿค”

I used to carry my kids in a kid backpack for hikes on the weekends and they loved it. Too much, actually. In the Florida heat that's a good way to sweat your ass off.

Can't say the thing missing from those fun hikes through the arboretum was fashion ๐Ÿ™„

Men shouldn't be allowed near children that aren't their own. It's rarely stated but regularly assumed.

It's garbage.

Specs showing it runs Windows 11 Home

It's an indication that we're not "sending our best"

Yes: To them this demonstrates that the justice system is corrupt and they think only Trump can fix it.

They will believe this even though Trump isn't running for any office in New York ๐Ÿคฃ

Welcome to the future! I believe this is how the next world war starts?

You say that because you don't realize the benefits:

  • Better support for Linux with any new PC hardware on day 1. This includes things like USB devices, monitors, KVMs, UPS, everything.
  • Better support for all commercial software in general. More software will become available and it'll be higher quality.
  • Vendors will be forced to test all their stuff on Linux which means it'll all become more reliable and less glitchy.
  • There will be more diversity in software and distros which means widespread attacks (aka hacking, worms, viruses, etc) will have less success and smaller impacts.
  • The more Linux users there are the more Linux developers will result. It's also much easier to start learning how to code on a Linux desktop than it is in Windows.
  • Better security for the entire world. Linux has a vastly superior security architecture than Windows and a vastly superior track record. The more Linux users there are, the harder it will be for malicious entities to break into their PCs which translates into a more secure world.
  • It's much easier (for experienced users) to troubleshoot and fix problems in Linux than in Windows. This will lead to support teams everywhere getting frustrated whenever they have to deal with Windows users (this is already the case for many software vendors, haha). Therefore, it makes support people happy and easy going. Who doesn't want to reach a happy, helpful person for technical support instead of the usual defiant/adversarial support tech? ๐Ÿ˜
  • The worst sorts of hardware vendors won't be able to get away with their usual bullshit. For example, if there were enough Linux users HP wouldn't be offering extremely invasive 2GB printer "drivers" because their Windows customers would know enough Linux users that they'd be rightfully pissed and not depressively submissive like they are now.
  • When you do have a problem it will be easier to find a solution because the likelihood that someone else already had it and posted a solution will be higher (though admittedly this factor doesn't seem to do much for Windows currently because of how obtuse and obfuscated everything is in that OS).

There's actually a lot more reasons but that's probably enough for now ๐Ÿ˜
