I got a Nokia XR20 because of this. Also waterproof and rugged. A phone that needs a case to survive the hairless monkeys dropping it is a design failure and completely unacceptable.

Just wish I could use proper software with it.

40 years since invention and outside of a few interesting edge cases like projectors, I still don't understand the purpose of a wireless mouse. It sits next to your computer full time. Pay less, get more response, much more longevity, and go wired.

Just this one. The philosophy is still there, Linus and TLF have abandoned it with great hubris. I am very disappointed in them.

Yeah, very helpful, thank you.

I had this problem back in the great recession and joined habitat for humanity. Met some weirdos, was pretty good.

Do some work, go to the gym, cook dinner, plan a fun weekend event, go to bed early. I fear I am fully institutionalized at this point.

Just finished Pikmin 4. I found it disappointing. I miss 1 and 2 which I see as complementary masterpieces.

You mean because I am asking reasonable questions to learn? I have heard the phrase blue maga but am not very familiar with what it means. Meanwhile your post history is nothing but frothing at the mouth vitriol and online angst just like all of Reddit. Why exactly are you somewhere else? I would think because you got tired of that crap just like the rest of us. So let's try to do better here.

Alright I'll bite. I don't understand this. The word liberal has two meanings: the classical and the colloquial. The latter is indistinguishable from leftist, so I assume you are using the classical form.

Classical liberals will still blame leftists, like ... blue maga wants them to? Who exactly is blue maga? Jill Stein supporters?

Classical liberals also span the left-right spectrum right now, with many identifying as libertarian. I struggle to see what you are getting at regardless of who blue maga represents, but maybe there is a good point here.

It's a Canon. If I just sit down for a bit with it I'm sure I can get it working, but sometimes you just want it to work right now.

Throwing out another idea: I upgraded an aging laptop and put mint on it and it's my main right now, but I can get on the newer windows computer if I need to. I rarely need to now, though things will come up and its nice to have an out. Recently it was getting my printer working which I so rarely use. Didn't have the patience, just needed the doc printed, flipped to windows.

It's a little sad to me. I watched windows rise to its peak with windows 2000 and slowly fall. Been using it since 3.1, and had dos-only for a little while before that. It's time to say goodbye. Been on and off with Linux since the early 2000s but this is my first real big push to use it outside of work or projects. Linux has come a long way from those days.
