Designate a concept as a terrorist organization, and then you can label anyone you don't like as antifa so you can prosecute them.

It's ridiculous how far the US is now into fascism. If the frog knew any history it would know what it means to be in a nice pot with warm water on top of a stove.

This feels like those theatre plays for children where the wolf is hiding behind the main character and all the children are shouting "the wolf is there!!" While the main character remains oblivious.

And the rub should be radial, not circular.

How is no one mentioning the abuse on r/conservative where spewing all kinds of falsehoods, and xenophobias and you are gold, but trying to provide factual information gets banned?

I think there are more things to worry about than the number of groups someone helps moderate.

And alsothere is no recourse against improper bans. I was banned from my corresponding country sub because a moderator misinterpreted something I said.

Oh. Smart and pedantic about an autoincorrect. I'm not going to say I know more about computers than you because... One never knows. I just started in 1982 and have only worked in IT my whole life in pretty much every role, in more than 30 languages and many different platforms plus contributing as a developer in a small distribution around 2006-2010 and ending up as a lead entreprise architect providing advise on the technological direction of 300+ systems. But again, maybe I don't know much.

Your answer confirmed my original comment. You are commenting without fundament. "I used it 15 years ago" qualifies for speaking about Linux in past tense. Not in present tense.

By the way, I don't know if you used virtualisation or WSL to run Ubuntu inside windows (I remember the Ubuntu cd had that executable) but it's not the same as running a proper installation and back then WSL was lacking.

For me talking about WSL also qualifies as past tense as I haven't used Windows at all since 2019.

Good for you that you like Apple. It doesn't mean that Linux is not stable or is lacking though.

I have a problem believing he thought is wholesome. to celebrate violence or lack of empathy.

I said "you" generic as a knowledgeable person.

The people you are talking about didn't install windows either. I'm talking about comparing apples and apples.

There is no more difficulty installing or using windows or Linux, but in Linux there are less problems.

Starlink needs regulatory permission in every county they provide signal to.

You start with any mainstream distro. Ubuntu, Fedora, Suse, Mint and the like.

The differencea between them aren't relevant to a new user.

You install whatever you are comfortable with to be able to help them.

Is there something like Reddit "mademesmile" group? This really belongs there.

He will be remembered and revealed by the people who received his wisdom about how to spew sceptic tank around.

His death will inspire all the other sceptic men, and women.

I put that in quotes because geeksquad sometime gets called to literally just connect cables and show the client where the power button is.

And my point is not to blame the clients. My car mechanic may be laughing about me taking the car to do things I can do my self in 5 minutes.

The point is that windows isn't easier. It just has more readily available support and people who start using windows are OK calling someone.

People starting with Linux think that if they find an obstacle, "that's it, Linux bad", instead of paying someone to solve it.

On your last point about it being easier to do a side task while in a meeting. It is annoying that when someone is talking about something important and then they ask someone else in the meeting:"What is your team doing about it?", invariably the response is "doing about what? Can you repeat the question?" Delaying and extending meeting time.

Or later asking questions about what was said in the meeting. Really annoying.

And by the way, probably all of us have at some point been the distracted one.
