I really wish SNW would have an awkward "don't ask" conflict with the TOS Gorn and SNW version like DS9 did with Klingon makeup. Maybe they did and I missed it.

Microsoft might agree with this.

Hard agree with this. Does Reddit even have lawyers, or are they just using ChatGPT? Google, Meta, and Tik Tok already paid PII misuse fines for less than this. everything listed is part of the GDPR extended PII list.

Unrelated question: How do I short reddit stock?

OK, well what I'm trying to tell you is that unless you have some exotic hardware, Mint has the reputation of working right out of the box. Not great for gaming, so if that's a deal breaker, then that's it.

Maybe try another distro? Mint 22.1 works just fine right out of the box, and at this point Claude provides actual support better than scouring 3 forums in case you need small tweaks. Other than some proprietary fingerprint reader I never use, every machine I've used it on has been fine.

You can just do a live install from USB and test it before even installing.

Meh - people are creatures of habit. To quote a family member "I'm too old to learn a new operating system!" Any change, even over to Mac OS, is rejected by most Windows users. Even when 99.9% of what they do is in a web browser.

Came here to say "Well, maybe they're corrupting your data."

Sadly, this is a human trait overall. It's deep in the lizard brain section from early in our evolution.

If someone is part of a group and then does something seen as against the interest of the group (or groupthink, really) then any tiny little thing can become a trait leveraged against them. Either the person on the outs basically accepts demotion on the social ladder and hopes for re-acceptance from the group as subservient to everyone, or they're just out for good. It's one of our worst traits from a rational perspective, it's violent and irrational monkey-brain shit, and likely made for small homogeneous, tight-knit groups that could count on each other to survive harsh environmental conditions.

Mr. Internet, tear down these walls! (for all these walled gardens)

Return the internet to the wild. Let it run feral like dinosaurs on an island.

Let the grannies and idiots stick themselves in the reservations and asylums run by billionaires.

Let's all make Neocities pages about our hobbies and dirtiest, innermost thoughts. With gifs all over.

This is how the internet used to be, for the most part. There's no boatload of 27 JS and 15 CSS files to reference. There's no batch of 110mb splash SVGs to load so I scroll down past 3 words and see 7 stock images before getting 1 sentence of information. It's probably a 200kb site with a few 300kb images to load as well.

This is the work of an enlightened being.
