Because if they go after any corporate entity directly, there will be guns, and death, and the survivors will be arrested for trespassing and vandalism and a slew of other crimes.

They want to be loud and safe, not effective for a cost.

Really? Try installing Battlenet or Hearthstone with Wine.

You just made a great sales pitch for Windows.

Mint.

Have you ever seen the movie Dead Poets Society?

Language was invented for one purpose - to woo women. And in that endeavor, laziness must never be tolerated.

Because Google wants subtitles hidden behind their server. There’s your answer.

You know, with the destruction of the EPA and the way public concerns are going up again… maybe it is the right time to bring Toxie back to the people.

Long before that. Lonely Hearts columns, classified ads, etc. had lots of fake people in there too.

Absolutely not. If we’re going to be on the aggressive path, we need to stay the course. There are demands in place. Either they’re met, or it keeps going - up to and including a complete embargo on Chinese goods, while we continue to discuss the situations with HK and Taiwan ROC separately.

Of all the moves he could make now, this would be the worst. If you want to apply brutish tactics and force, you must be prepared to maintain that force until either you accomplish the stated goals or you’ve been so completely drained that you have to fold.

The USA is in neither position. This isn’t a gesture of magnanimity. This is just proof that he’s already made money off it somehow.

Mint here. It looks like Windows and runs the software and hardware I want. Simple as that.

The cult of personality won’t matter once the Christian Nationalist movement takes hold.

By “suddenly”, you mean, they always have?

I so strongly prefer the mechanical keyboard and trackball to the built-in gear that if I’m doing any serious typing, a keyboard and mouse are always attached.

Why? Unless you’re avid about the Track point, you’re going to have a USB mechanical attached.

Not all of us. I prefer hard metals.

Then whatever a modern OS is under your model is not an OS I’m willing to use. I’ve seen Win 11. I’m going to stick with 10, as I stuck with XP through Vista, had a second machine with 7 through 8(.x), and then surrendered and used Win10 when the 32-bit Win7 machine finally stopped working for love or money.

Mint has worked consistently for me on the PC it’s installed on.

Mint works like Windows and has a lot to offer any Windows 10 user who’s already using FOSS. And tbh Hypnotix alone justified the install of Mint for me. I got a great IPTV viewer, plus a PC that runs everything I want.

Note: I only regularly want Discord, Firefox, Endless Sky, OpenTTD, RetroArch, and LibreOffice. I’m sure everyone else has different goals.
