But do they on average, last longer?

That’s the way to “beat” entropy, tread water for as long as possible.

For five years all I ever heard was . . .

Are you sure you know who it is in the bubble?

I dunno where you live but when i hear the same thing three times, i usually try to move my ears a bit.

yep, user friendly, easy install, gooey install, proprietary drivers; extra stuff.

i think they were aiming to loss lead, capture user base and ultimately get some b2b sales - oh well :( OP author even ignores stuff like Lubuntu and Xubuntu, which i assume canonical have at least some contribution to. OP gets downvote from me, worthless article.

He just needs about treefiddy.

Weevil, weevil rock two!

Because human saw bear eating it. What is the salmon’s excuse for knowing what it’s innards look like? Oh, did it “see a bear eating it too”, yeah right, . . . cannibal.

Caught between the twisted stars The plotted lines the faulty map That brought Columbus to New York Betwixt between the East and West He calls on her wearing a leather vest The earth squeals and shudders to a halt . . .

Spot on! Their first email was likely also full of pointless passive aggressive bullshit. That’s almost certainly why I didn’t read it first time around.

They can email my boss instead if they want, he gets paid extra to get shat on by dickheads.

meh, just backup home.

“All ‘jedi’ had was a bunch of muppets.”

Yes - they should stay in another subculture, far away.

Ideally they’ll also be locked behind a paywall, safely protected by shit like “HP sure start” so that they don’t accidentally open some dangerous csv file in anything other than excel.

I’m not sure that I’m what anyone would call “experienced”. But I’ve used it for a long time. And people wetting their pants over one or another distribution seems like a total waste of time. they’re all very similar.

I’m very much not happy to be associated with the community depicted in meme - i sincerely hope most of them are just taking the piss out of themselves.

I think even if there were quadruple the user base it’s not going to materially change the number of developers making decent linux native programs. So you either use open source stuff. or webapps and wine stuff like that. Size of userbase is pretty irrelevant to me.

Those are balls.

This close, they always look like landscape. But nope, you’re looking at balls.

I’m ok to give them 1 in 500 resolution (or whatever rough order of magnitude) to tell them i want to read the EN version. That’s a lot less precise than 1 in 10 billion or whatever the fingerprint is.

Is it possible for URL to request the one that i want? I feel like i remember different language versions of webpages from before browser fingerprinting - though I guess I don’t know long ago it started.

Even so, it seems like it only needs to know my request as a one of 500 group. An individualised fingerprint of 1 in 10bn seems like overkill to me. Assuming that’s what fingerprint means in this context.

You’d need proper accounts the P+L and importantly the balance sheet for full transparency At least until they start paying their accountants more for corporate fuckery - though I think many do already to dodge taxes.

But the real fucker is in the bank loan, you probably can’t borrow at the same rate until you have as much collateral as them. Even though your rent is literally the asset, and you and the previous tenants keep buying them more collateral that puts them in a better position to borrow more and acquire more.

Good old Free market, no barriers to entry, no first mover advantage, no congestion effects . . . /s. I’m sure rent control is terrible invention, ruins cities.

I recommend it for learning/entertainment/passtime - I don’t see why anyone cant fuck with it on a vm or spare partition. Not for dependency though.

But i generally recommend people strive for some degree of independence in most things, as a good fallback.

You could try basic Debian, maybe with lxqt?
I never see the point of Debian derivatives anyway.

Or maybe try out one with a lightweight wm like fluxbox or icewm. These are more barebones i think. last time i used fluxbox many years ago it did everything i needed and was pretty cool.

maybe . . . MX linux " the most popular linux distro" /s Except i think they ban systemd.init so lots of debian based help wont necessarily work.

Meh - maybe none of these are good answers to your question.

I have even worse than even-odds of guessing what what ‘even’ even means in English though.

no, there’s also me.
