Time to round up the conspiracy theorists and put them in FEMA camps for our safety.

Her face and nails must be really bad if that's the only things she's hiding. -Oh wait a minute!

I'm not quite a boomer, but I do see this generation as just wanting hand-outs. -Oh wait.. that's just how it appears online because they're the ones with all the time to post about it.

Bench / pastry scraper next to the end grain cutting board on counter (that's how I clean it most often). Microplane and pizza cutter (Italian chef knife) get hung. Funnel covers a teacup protecting it's rare use from excess dust / atomized oils in the kitchen. Garlic press is a waste of money when you have knife skills. -Citrus juicer likewise (cut 1/3 slabs around the core using the geometry to make squeezing efficient).

If guys want fake ones, just buy them a silicon love doll and fulfill their fantasies about a manage trois.

Someone please get her some clothes that fit.

Was threating to drop my panties on the dirty floor after borrowing them when I said she couldn't.

Someone subscribe to her OF so she can afford a chair to sit on like a proper lady.

[–] madthumbs 1 points 1 hour ago

She's a champ, smiling while suction cupped to the floor like that!

Why does AI make fake blondes?

As much as I don't like Facebook, I was thinking to mention it. Yahoo locals chat used to be excellent for me. I'd just mock the other guys in the singles chat, and had a profile pic available. -Be nice to find something like that again.

"Proprietary Garbage" -echoed from the same community that promotes gaming and using proprietary software with Wine, and Proton. The term is used by DistroTube who promotes proprietary keyboard (moonlander) when similar open source keyboards are available. -But to his credit, he at least supports FOSS gaming.

FOSS games exist, and tend to run on older hardware just like the adolescent desktop OS.

If you're going to be anti-corporate; stick to your socialist / commie ideals?

Windows 11 24H2's latest glitch leaves some PCs without any sound, though a fix is on the horizon

 

About half of Linux users will abandon it when it gets too close. Currently FreeBSD is the Loonix to the current Loonix. It's faster, more efficient, and more reliable on high loads. Linux requires more tuning by the user (partly depending on distro) to get near FreeBSD.

FreeBSD is more secure with features like jails for isolation and a strong, integrated firewall.

Like Linux, FreeBSD has limited hardware support. -Linux evangelists don't mind this, opting to insult hardware that doesn't work anyway.

The BSD license has fewer restrictions making it 'more customizable' in a legal sense.

 

"Linux doesn't have malware"

 

Windows 11’s gaming strengths are there, but they’re situational – although you’ll need to look at upgrading soon enough, anyway

 

Distro-agnostic packages are becoming a practical requirement on many desktop distros, and they introduce bloat and security issues. They also detract from conventional methods of installing software pulling away support for them.

More options! Despite it being a critique of Linux, they keep introducing more confusing options for the end user. Rather than fix like a display manager, they'll just offer a different one as a solution (which doesn't work for other people)!

Update to Pipewire! -Ok, it broke ac3 pass-through, even after uninstalling it! I could deal with the usual issues of streaming video by downloading with yt-dlp or playing in MPV. Breaking ac3 passthrough was a much bigger deal for some of us.

"x11 is an insecure mess- Wayland is ready". -Echoed 2 years ago and people still rightfully call Wayland alpha software despite it being over 16 years old! This also goes along with 'it's never been a better time to switch'. Ok, if you're going to criticize Windows for not having decent tiling window managers (which it does have now), then take your shitty ones that work with Wayland and acknowledge it's a big step back. -Windows is now better for dynamic TWMs (opinion and something that may change or has)!

The kernel doesn't comply to Unix philosophy and is becoming huge and bloated. Every time a Linux user gloats about how Linux 'performs better', they're ignoring its lacking feature parity and hardware compatibility. Each version of the kernel loses about 10% of performance (compensated by hardware improvements). Linus Torvalds himself declared that the kernel has become 'huge and bloated'. -(over 10 years ago)! (Take that you 'Windows is bloat' creatons!) -As if most DEs aren't bloated or the most liked is a buggy mess (literally an update for Plasma had 'a bazillion bug fixes' as a release note with follow up notes resembling it). KDE confesses what evangelists won't.

'All my games just work' - Except that your precious Proton confesses what didn't every time they post a new compatibility list. There are also a multitude of games that stop working or simply don't work right. -In my case a game was unbeatable on Linux and wasted hours of effort. (It's only free if your time is worthless). And some games like Forza Horizon 5 needed a very specific older version of the game to run.

Wasn't it 3 times this year that a severe vulnerability has been discovered that has existed for over a decade? ("Loonix is secure"?) It's expected and valid that more code means more chance for vulnerabilities. Knowing where Linux is now on the code base, I can only imagine what the future holds in store on this front.

"Linux just keeps getting better" - Maybe in ways, but consider that technology is evolving, and Linux is slow to catch up. -Have they fixed the fractional scaling issue yet, how about HDR, DRM? (a one step forward, two steps back thing).

Distrotube pushed and pushed eMacs for over a year. He said it took him years to learn it. When He finally got around to giving a reason for why he preferred it over vim (or nvim), it was because of the fonts and his aging eyes.

-This is the kind of crappy advice Linux advocates like to give other people!

FWIW, Firefox has better font rendering than Chrome based web browsers.

 

Windows fixed the reason I tried Linux (untimely forced updates). The reason for forcing was valid, but they did drag their feet on resolving when it was updated (which is finally resolved).

People hate the 'new start menu', but I can start typing just about anything I want to adjust and go right to the settings without having to remember the structure for getting there.

Dynamic tiling has come about and improved both natively with PowerTools, and third party (Komorebi).

The interface has been beautified with centered taskbar icons, rounded corners, and new materials like Mica and Smoke for transparency effects.

Widgets provide a personalized feed of news, weather, traffic, sports, and stock market data.

Users can organize, and open windows more efficiently with Snap layouts and Snap groups.

Game performance is improved by Direct Storage allowing games to load data directly to the GPU, reducing load times.

The 24H2 update employs rewritten core platform code in Rust, enhancing speed and reduces memory bugs.

Phone Link shows battery level, connectivity status, and recent messages in the Start Menu. It also allows easy transfer of files (integrating with File Explorer), texting from PC.

Live Captions for audio and video content, making it more accessible.

Support for Wi-Fi 7, offering faster and more reliable wireless connections.

Energy Saver Mode to extend battery on mobile devices.

Improved context buttons, support for TAR and 7z compression, and the ability to edit PNG metadata.
