Absolutely, we need to place blame where it belongs. Democrats fucked up bad, it is basically 2016 all over again

For Surface hardware compatibility, check this out. I have a fully working touchscreen, pen and all, on my Surface Pro 4 running Mint thanks to this project. Essentially, it's just a different kernel you install through your package manager that replaces the default for your distro. Let me know if you have any questions. https://github.com/linux-surface/linux-surface/

I would say kinda based if it wasn't my tax dollars going toward that crap. Starts to put the massively over-inflated military budget into perspective.

One of the hardest things for me. My relax space is home and I can't make it there on my lunch. My brain doesn't wanna switch out of work mode because then it could take way too long to switch back.

Nah, people are way too lazy and complacent.

This is just manners I learned at home. Me personally, even though I'm not wealthy but relatively well-off, I would be happy to do this for a friend. None of my friends would expect this from me but would make it obvious ahead of time they're broke or just flat out would tell me that we should do something else. IMO, If your friends are expecting you to just pay for their shit all the time, you might need new friends that like you for you and not your money. I have had friends in the past that liked me for what I have and those bridges are long since burnt.

This is a conspiracy theory I'm completely behind. With all the moves Nintendo has made recently this was the first thing I thought when Internet Archive was compromised

Probably vim. It works fine out of the box but it took me way too long to figure out things like why my terminal colors were never quite right out of the box (had to set it to 256 color mode or what have you). And once I wanted to use some a few plugins the configuration started getting a bit convoluted/confusing. Hoping I have time some day/remember to figure out how to disable that annoying visual paste mode or whatever it is called that sometimes makes using it over SSH a nightmare.

Putting the whole judging games based on graphics out there feels dishonest. I personally don't give a rip how games look on the switch or can at the very least get over it pretty quick as long as they aren't plgsued with performance issues . We shouldn't be in a spot where playing modern console games on emulator is often a better experience than the real thing.

The switch architecture is very dated and the only ones who really know their way around to hack things together and make it kinda work is Nintendo. Still amazed that TOTK is playable on Switch with everything going on, but for a third-party dev to do the same would probably take an insane amount of effort. Its not worth it. Just update the standard and everyone will benefit.

I only pay made-up fake bills, no real ones

I can see why they'd do it. Windows is a corporate product and MSFT wants everyone's experience to be tailored to exactly how they think is best. Gives some Apple vibes.

I think at this point MSFT knows the average user is just gonna keep using Windows so they don't really care about tailoring to individuals. I expect to see a lot more of this.

I'd say this is anecdotally false. I live in a rural area in the US and I just keep seeing more and more teslas popping up on the road. I wonder if they are showing up at more dealerships now where more consumers have the opportunity the make an uninformed purchase? Not sure.

I feel like anyone who has done surface level research on a tesla would avoid then. I haven't even done that and I know just from seeing articles that I didn't even seek out that they are pretty shitty cars, even if you ignore Elon's existence.
