Can you get it through your thick neanderthal skull that some people actually exist outside of the US, and out of the range of companies that are ubiquitous to you?

Your world isn't univeral. Incredible, I know.

Sure. But none of them would bother buying stuff from a US shitty corp when we have all kinds of shitty corps (and possibly even some regular ones) to pick from over here.

No matter what they do, they'll always be Toilet Paper USA to me.

After looking them up, it seems unlikely.

They had their purpose, moving wealth back to Russia.

It's all part of the plan by big toner.

No, you're missing a finger on each hand.

I'm sure that it's quite common worldwide. We're probably missing out on a lot of competent people because of that.

I've seen other dubs that were probably ai (or very very bad).

It’s just bad. It’s not intuitive, it doesn’t have any of the convenience features that MS word has.

Maybe, maybe not.

The last version ow MS Word I used was Word 2.0c. I quit using it because it was completely broken whenever the file got a bit large. I switched to Linux at that time and used office suites on that platform (that was before libre/open office, even before StarOffice I think, I ran Applix at the time), none of them I've ever had issues with.

Something is broken on your system. Libre office works fine on all other machines.

 

I was just watching "American Primeval", when it occurred to me (again) that the US was a place where oddball religions could prosper. Two recent successful examples of very weird ones being Mormons and Scientology (although the latter is a bit less successful lately).

Why is it that weird things catch on so readily in the US?

Of course, the "founders" were people that were kicked out of everywhere else because they were trying to convert them to their extremist religious views (and yet US people are fond of trying to find family ties to them... "hey, my great, great, great grand father was a religious lunatic! But yours wasn't")

So now, Mormons (Jews totally rowed to the US, for some reason, and then Jesus came there, and there were horses, and cities, and there's absolutely no archaeological trace, probably because god) have an astounding foothold despite their creed (I'm saying this because I have read the book of Mormon).

Then there's Scientology, and I don't even know where to begin with that one, given how fucked up it is... If you don't know about it, start with Wikipedia.

Also (probably not finally, there's certainly more) there's the innumerable bizarre Christianity stuff in the US. It's such a mess. I don't even think that most of the evangelical groups are technically Christians.

So apparently,, in the US, anything goes. The holy Flying Spaghetti Monster, blessed be it's meat balls, showed us that. But then what?

The problem with the typical US "let anyone do whatever" is that vulnerable get fleeced at best.

 

Plasma 6 changed the way scrollbars work for some reason. Now when you click somewhere with mouse1 the elevator jums there and the window content scrolls accordingly.

Previously, it would scroll by one window's worth in the appropriate direction. If you wanted to jump to a given location, you just used mouse2 (typically the scroll wheel button nowadays). It has worked that way everywhere for literally decades.

After reading the very weird explanation for the change, I can only conclude that the devs don't even know how to use their interface.

Hence my question, is there a setting somewhere to switch back to the traditional behaviour?
