I think they wouldn’t have any immigration related issues if they set up in California.

Can confirm. Just got vaccinated at CVS two days ago. Not having worms in your brain definitely qualifies you to get a vaccine.

This chart doesn’t imply there’s anything wrong with your position. Low confidence and low competence = choosing OS that implements a ton of guardrails to prevent users it’s designed for from fucking up too hard. Nothing wrong with that even if you choose to do that forever.

Pretty much every rolling distro works this way. Nothing fantastical about it.

If you want even more set-it-and-forget-it setup you can use any immutable distro. OpenSuse MicroOS in my grandma’s case.

That’s true, but I’ve been using it for 25+ years and prefer stock kde experience. Daily driver for work and play. Fewer issues than windows for sure. I can’t figure out macos so I try to avoid it.

OpenSuse

None of that happens though and cli is not needed for most users. Updates are automatically pulled and installed whenever she restarts. Worst case scenario she knows to press down once during boot to select previous snapshot.

My 97yo grandma uses Linux without even being aware what OS she’s on. Web sites open the same. Telegram works the same.

Anyone saying Linux isn’t user friendly hasn’t used it in decades or ever.

Most Windows/macos users wouldn’t be able to install those either so that’s a non argument.

A lot of legacy stuff that’s really expensive and time consuming to upgrade. If it ain’t broken (and protected from the internet), don’t fix it.

When was that ever a concern for the elite in power?

Even India assassinated Nijjar without any repercussions in Canada. America sure as fuck can get Musk to hang himself Epstein style.

Sort of a win since you didn’t even reply to the right comment :-)

I hate to shit on your general point, but they absolutely do ask in this case.

It’s relatively inexpensive and makes life much easier for people who are not tech savvy. Your position is that of an incredibly egoistic person that never had to help an older relative or dealt with an adult who doesn’t have time for random bs during an hour or so of downtime most people get in a day.

If spending hours trying to figure out which “free” streaming service had not gotten shot down today and magically has the content you want is worth less to you than a one time payment of a few bucks to plex, then you really don’t value your time.

They’re probably not on staff and hiring them externally just got much more expensive and complicated.

There’s plenty of believers. None of them are acting in a meaningful way.

They are not capable of a coup imnho.

Edit: Oh, you meant democrats are never going to get power after recent republical coup - seems likely.

Nothing will happen. Democrats are completely spineless and will bend over like they have in the past.

You’re technically not supposed to invite people you don’t know because you’re responsible for your invitees to some degree.
