I think people who used to use 4chan.get nostalgic for the rare gems and forget the absolute depraved shit or how much there was, perhaps along with not being able to spot things as well when they used it.

It's not as recognizable though.

There's nothing wrong with using undo, there only something wrong with lying about it.

I had to tweak things often in Windows too. Windows pushed a broken update around December 2023 (or 2022, don't remember) and when I restored from a system image Windows itself made it broke everything worse. Windows isn't perfectly stable. There's currently a bug corrupting people's disks.

I think a huge part of it is that you're more used to the types of issues you ran into on Windows and knew how to solve them easily enough that they didn't cause headaches.

Documentation is easier.

For the love of all things good and pure, do not use LLMs to make your documentation.

Honestly I think another part is that AI is actually pretty fascinating (or at least easy to make seem fascinating to investors lol) so when company A makes a flashy statement to investors involving AI, company B's investors ask why company B isn't utilizing this amazing new technology. This plays into that aspect of not wanting to get left behind.

There is a weird bias against bisexual men in media. Someone I knew even once said she didn't believe bisexual men existed, all men are either straight or gay. For me self identification is important. If someone tells me they're straight but I believe they're bisexual, I'm going to call them straight.

Yeah, it's weird that folks view this as the turning point. It's not like they had any real independence from Microsoft since they got bought.

Are you able to make sure the course doesn't have any weird specific browser things? I hope nobody uses IE stuff anymore and Edge is Chromium based now so maybe that's not a concern like it used to be.

Yeah I'm really surprised people are suggesting things other than that. The value of being able to exactly see what she does on her screen on your own and describe things you do on yours that you know you do will be very useful.

Get her the same one you have so you can see what she sees and help her. Or standard Ubuntu. For real. Don't overthink it. She's gonna be interested in your help.
