Oh, don’t get me started on Windows issues. Lol. But the only reason we use Windows at work is for Office, otherwise Tue CAD software has a Linux version yet runs better.

It would be bad if it was the least powerful Mac ever, It makes mW laugh they need to tell people it is the most powerful everytime

Yep, I have used Linux since 2017 after W10 just made everything slower for home use and work. I have been using W11 for work lately, and it sucks. The office16/root/vfs/ProgramFilesCommonX64(86)/office16/ai.exe and aimgr.exe keep hogging resources in task manager and bogging down the system when ever I try to get work done. Deleteing those files helps but they come back after updates, so for now I created two empty text files and changed the filename and extensions to match the deleted files, so far that has kept updates from reinstalling those ai files

Housing in BC is scarce with highest prices in Canada. AirBnB owners are buying as a business, and displacing would be home owners that need a place to live. Any real business developsments need appropriate zoning and parking, as hotels would. It is not about restricting a residents use, it is about restricting a business operating in a residential neighbourhood

If you find the full unedited versions you can watch two terrible US elected officials try to treat Zelenskyy like an adversary, talking down to him, talking over him, and spreading Putin’s talking points. Zelenskyy handled it well, probably biting his tongue, and showed what an actual leader looks like.

As he said a cease fire with Russia means nothing, because Putin didn’t honour it previously.

Because he is thanking Trump after they treated him like crap. He is doing the adult thing for diplomacy, but had he had no war situation Thanking somebody for being overly douchey to you would be considered debasing yourself

Bunch of whiners… “Would restrict their Legal use of their property?” So when did they build a hotel? Oh residential? Get out of here.

No, all my systems are Linux. Work is W11 and I have to keep deleting ai.exe and aimgr.exe from the vfs MS office16 folders or the AI takes most of my processor for no reason and my applications run like molasses.

Interesting. Thanks for the info

Does Proton have open API that GNOME can leverage same as GDrive?

Just a side note. Rclone is not the same as GNOME gdrive access. Rclone does a clone of the data to your local, GNOME gives you online access and you basically open from remote like using Seadrive client.

My point being Proton could easily add same online account with GNOME help and do the same.

If you add your Online Google Account to GNOME, it integrates your calendar, mail and adds a mapped Gdrive in Nautilus

Google drive works with GNOME desktop, you add your Online Account in settings, and it integrates your calendar, Email, and maps a remote GDrive

I agree on the products thing. Bitcoin Wallet? WTF. While their staff says supporting drive sync on Linux is hard. (Yet seafile, and Google drive work on Linux)

No I was counting as non property wealth, but as multimillionaire of world wide company. To meet the guy on the steet in a 90s Honda, you would never guess his wealth.

Good Point

Yes. And somehow Doug is worse :)

Ah right we should inform comedians, since everyone is so offended by harmless joking in 2025. Dude, it is(was) Dull Men’s Club…assumption being it is men here, that are dull, and are boring their wives talking about Linux. (I understand that some men may have husbands, and many women contribute to Linux use and FOSS maintenance, and Maybe your wife or husband likes talking about Copy on Write Filesystem OS choices, but stats say many people do not want to hear about OS choices, and stats say in a “men’s” group the majority would have a wife that falls into that Venn diagram–as opposed to a husband.

Yes they would think we were softies.

I even see it just in my families immediate generations. My grandfather rode his bike everywhere, and never owned a car. He was fit. He got hit by a car once and waited at the hospital, after a few hours he said screw it, and cycled home.

For me growing up most families had one car, which the working parent drove, so if you needed to get to a friends house or anywhere it was by foot or by bike if it was outside of town. Or waiting several hours at a place for a ride. Being further from home meant you had to sometimes get creative for food. Friend and I once sharpened sticks and spearfished and cooked lunch over a dried stick fire rather than walk all the way back home.

My adult kids are hardworking individuals but they grew up with more modern convenience of 2 cars, uber, functioning bus system, food delivery. If their car or phone app broke, I think they would find walking or biking somewhere a deterrent to following through, especially if it was raining.

And there is the teen generation who you hear instantly complain “oh my gawd, my uber is like 1 minute late, like I have been standing here sooo long” LOL And a parent suggesting they walk leads to “oh my gawduh, then I will be all sweaty!”

That teen is never spearfishing because the walk home is too far. If their phone dies (along with payment app) they will probably have a breakdown/ feel stranded. My grandfather would never be able to fathom somebody being so unreliant on themselves let alone Somebody from 150 years ago seeing an able bodied teen not be able to use their legs.
