We have Mint in the house too. Pop! Has given no audio issues. Bluetooth audio worked out of the box.

Wait. You’re saying there’s a distro easier out of the box than Pop! ??

I realize Linux distros inspire arguments on the level of which rule set is the best rule set for D&D. As such, everyone is right, and no one can really prove anyone else wrong no matter how long they choose to argue. Unless we’re discussing the awfulness of 4.0 of course.

Cue a bunch of AI vids.

Linux, people. Linux.

Suggest Pop!_OS for the fearful.

It’s all being dumped into data centers now. Google and Meta don’t need your face to prove who you are to create a new login, they need it to link data. What’s awful is the need to log in is so intense, it worked. Apparently YouTube aspirations are worth it. And shopping Facebook marketplace.

Now, Amazon isn’t allowing returns for many an individual without a pic or upload of government issued ID. Amazon allowed you to both pay and have an item shipped without this ID. But for a return, they now need it. I’m not saying this ask isn’t multipurpose, but it also links your data together and is probably being dumped into data centers with everything else.

My point is, it’s not just Microsoft’s choices.

What’s fun is now UPS wants a second shipping fee to schedule a time or hold your package for you. You can no longer presign their little paper to leave the package. The only option is to pay, or they’ll return your package.

It’s extortion.

Worse, I was home both days and they never knocked or rang the bell. I let them return the package, on them, took my full refund, then reordered. We cycled through this game until someone rang the bell.

Fed ex and UPS with sign for packages.

Right now he’s busy with countries this side of the pond, and beating up American citizens with his variation on the SS.

Dipshit Don is losing his fucking mind to Alzheimer’s, and there’s no one left with power or money who is willing to do anything about it.

As an American, this is accurate. Include Hawaii in the blue and Alaska in the Red.

GOG. If you’re a solo player, this is the place, for no other reason than their highly principled mission to do DRM free games. No, it’s not all the games, but even so. That and supporting CDProjekt appeals, to me anyway.

The man is a sponge to any idea around him. Like an empty, soulless megaphone waiting for someone to shout through it.

Every time he blasts Truth Social about the insurrection act, I’m pretty sure it’s Stephen Miller whispering into the megaphone.

There needs to be some kind of formal education regarding the suction effect of the rectum when things go in, and both the purpose and the need of a flared base.

In addition, education on the potential consequences of not using a flared base. Some damage can’t be repaired, leaving the foreign object victim with a permanent colostomy and sewn shut rectum.

Of note. If you say you’re cleaning the house naked and accidentally fall onto an item that happens to get fully inserted rectally, no one will believe you.
