Apparently when KG was blowing out his birthday candles on stage they asked him to make a wish, and he said “Don’t miss Trump next time”. JB is working on his clean image and stepped away, I don’t think they have any beef tbh, but the D is on hold atm. source

This is singlehandedly the best piece of satire I have ever seen, I was rolling the entire read, bravo. As a European, this reads like a black mirror episode.

To quote the website: “This should probably be illegal!”

“Victory and defeat happens in our heads first”, good luck and I’m counting on it

I stick to my word, it will work for you, 100% guaranteed. Be open and approach each interaction as if your meeting a friend. You’ll get there bud

Make the move! You’ll know and they’ll know when the moment is right, but don’t rush it!

Oh no you’re mistaken, I got incredibly lucky. But after more than a decade I can confidently say that I’ve never seemed more desirable since I have nothing to prove. That confidence is what I’m talking about, I’ve seen many people try hard and fail. I’ve seen many more people try less and succeed.

It will, maintaining friendships and especially new ones requires a lot of effort. I’m saying when you meet people you don’t think they’ll be your SO, but rather a new friend. That’s now an entirely different conversation, one which has a much more relaxed nature, increasing the chances of a potential relationship.

You’re missing the point by like a mile, you have to be open to new ones. Relationships don’t just appear out of nowhere.

That’s the thing, it will work 100% guaranteed. As long as you’re open to new friendships. Will the first person fall in love with you? Probably not. The second? Also probably not. That’s the beauty of it, you’ll either have an SO or a ton of friends, and having a friend of the opposite gender is like wingman paradise.

That’s why I always tell people to stop ‘looking’, that’s just desperate and off-putting. Friendships will turn into relationships if its meant to be.

So what you’re saying is we need a revolution?

Oh so it’s a helicopter

She would have known what the impact would’ve been, she literally studied the sport. She must have seen many female Australian breakers who were leagues above her in terms of skill. Yet she thought she was worthy to represent her country, hate is a strong word, but she and the org that put her there should be heavily criticised.

then again, who says the OP was for average person

Nobody, the post is to aid us who are assisting other people to switch. I’m saying people here vastly overestimate the average persons ability AND willingness to actually switch, by themselves or assisted.

Linux is not all that horrible compared to Windows.

It is, in part because Linux is not beginner friendly but mostly because everyone is used to windows. Almost every program they’ve used is exclusive to it, which is why this post provides a path to eventually introduce them to Linux. Using Linux isn’t hard, using it the same way people are used to is. As is troubleshooting and installing 3rd party applications.

So when you’re done building strawmans, go touch some grass

It extends all the way to europe, TI-84’s were a must and still are. They sell that relic for around €100 still.

Couldn’t have said it better, and I’ve seen the same article as well!

Funny story a coworker told me is his father kept breaking his windows install in the weirdest ways, so he asked him if he’d try Linux and was very reluctant. He showed him his laptop and he said “Oh yeah I used this at work for 30 years!”

Your point is proven by the adaptation of chromebooks, kids have no issue using them and neither should anyone else. It’s not a Linux thing, it’s a “what did you use the most”-thing. Some distros are ready to be shipped to consumers, bought a laptop with Linux pre-installed in 2018 (XPS 13).

You’ll see mainstream use if stores are selling them in-store to consumers. You’re up against the likes of Google, Microsoft or Apple when you try to pull that off.

PS: I believe in mainstream Linux use because money has a tendency to ruin everything, just think it will be much slower than us enthusiasts would want.

Exactly, in reality people will use what’s given to them. Just like windows, introduce it now and people would lose their fucking minds about how convoluted it is.

Transition costs are what we should be looking at, right now to install or use Linux you need someone with experience explaining it to you. Just like it was when PC’s were becoming a thing. Don’t have that person? Only alternative is MacOS or ChromeOS for them.

It’s actually hilarious how disconnected some Linux folks are lmao

The average person

• doesn’t know what an operating system is
• can barely work with windows, has had many struggles learning windows
• is scared of change
• doesn’t know about the existence of a BIOS
• will never be able to boot anything else but default by themselves
• doesn’t know how to troubleshoot anything about computers
• literally does not know or care about the existence of Linux

I know these things are changing, but anyone saying people are able to switch to Linux by themselves and its easy and doable for the average person is fucking delusional, this post is one of the most reasonable takes I’ve seen on the sub

For sure, many disciplines require creativity and expression. She did that, without showing any skill or technicality.
