Good for you - but that's not everyone's experience. So don't put your experience on others either.

I'm sure it works the other way round, just as often. But that last time when my sister was literally filling out an RMA form for a perfectly functional disk drive because her brand new laptop wouldn't play a DVD. That was the last straw for me and windows. (except at work of course until/ unless I can get a better job).

Windows, 20 minutes of being advertised at like the internet before pop-up blockers, being pushed to windows store to buy the film again from them, trying a few different media players from the store, various googling - i cant even remember if i was able to install vlc before giving up and going debian - fuck that, unusable, and she couldn't do it either, so that was at least two of us in the well-below-average slice of the distribution of windows users.

Linux mint live iso booted about 5-10 mins to burn it and boot, play dvd (I dont even think i had to install vlc). Plus a bit of time to figure out how to get the boot menu. So maybe she was above average in debian users?

Guess what, just like you dgaf about all the windows issues i have that you don't; i also dgaf about all the linux issues that you have that i don't.

It should be a mater of choice, but it isn't. I don't get a choice about windows for 7.5 hours a day because too many humans are fucking cunts - plus a lot of anti-competitive business practices and grooming lncompetence in corpo procurement . I don't really blame ms for that i blame people who keep paying them to make their shit worse, and the procurement rules that they come up with to bend themselves over that barrel.

"geniune people personalities" is probably also a good name for modern chatbots.

There was some guy on telly did a test. Half the group had to eat oranges. The other half had to drink orange juice. Then swapped them over the next day. I can't remember the exact setup but i think it was like 'eat/drink as much as you want, stop when you feel full'.

Everyone was able to consume far, far more calories in juice form and probably far more sugar than they needed.

I think like even eating enough oranges for 1x300ml glass was hard for many people to do in fruit form. Basically, the rest of the orange filled them up and that's what we're better evolved for: slower digestion of a more varied mush and lots of fibre and stuff like that.

The juice is far too easy for us to eat way more than needed.

Meh, I seem to be an animal that keeps working 9-5, barely sees the sun for 2 months, and burns shit tonnes of fossil fuels to make up for the heat and light.

Most of them are stealthy enough to stowl away on a boat though.

mmmm, primordial bean soup.

I'm still eating it though even if it is my (step) nXgrandmother.

Wait 'til you find out about nouns.

The arbitrary fuckers can be character strings as well as numbers.

Even so the police should detect crime and prove then punish.

Allowing lazy cops to do collective punishment without evidence is risky.

That said I'd happily ban all those webshites for all people, not just kids. But that's probably why I'd never be granted a democratic mandate.
