Any TL;DR? Nazis gonna Nazi?

The public defenders would probably do a better job though…

And yet I never have USBC problems, but had multiple I phones that started failing to charge via the wired port.

And some cheaper brands like Sceptre make dumb TV’s still.

Probably a lot. I was very annoyed myself, though it made android pretty similar to the situation on iOS where you can’t replace the default messaging app anyway.

It’s an area where I think we need a bunch of stuff:

1. Antitrust regulation to force companies to use open standards and allow customization
2. Folks like the Signal Foundation should get over themselves and run their project like a real open source project, where others can fork/modify/run both the server side and client side.

There’s so much anti-competitive bullshit regarding #1 from all sides, from carriers to Apple to Google to device manufacturers.

I think fewer people are actually using SMS than you’d think though - it’s been quietly replaced with RCS.

They had a good blog post about why - their take was that SMS is dying and the replacement was a moving target that was hard to support for reasons I’m forgetting. I agree it hurt them tremendously though.

PopOS Nvidia version for Nvidia machines - much better experience.

And it has a cool penguin bumper sticker

Yeah but if the truck is free and better than your current car…

They want you to access everything through search and recently accessed because its so intuitive. It’s like they want computers to be as hard to use as possible for people who need to do actual work on many projects in any sort of organized way.

Also, now that IT has integrated everything with OneDrive, I routinely have to wait for my own files to be redownloaded before accessing them.

I’m glad you are still with us, please stay.

Medical is now less limited in Iowa (surprised the clinic people aren’t advertising yet here on Fediverse) but it’s all edibles and concentrates - no flower. Because reasons?

Depends on how new your hardware is - distros with new kernels work much better on many brand new machines.

PopOs Nvidia version is amazing for common gaming laptops.

It’s like watching my parents try to meme and I’m here for it.

Bill Barr seems like the kind of guy who would help run a Nazi Death camp, then calmly explain why everything was legal, but that Hitler fellow took things a bit too far… but prosecuting him is counter productive yada yada.

I see – arch just seemed like a huge management pain to get all of my different software stacks working and playing nicely together when I last played with it. It’s also pretty easy to switch desktop environments regardless of your distro, but I don’t mind gnome (plus gnome-tweaks).

Did you try the Nvidia version of PopOS? IME the “out of box” experience is loads better than Windows, and the install/configuration takes like 1/4 of the time.
