My windows partition forced me to do an update which has now broken the start menu and right clicking on pinned icons. Thanks Microsoft. Great job.

I really can’t wait to be rid of it completely but unfortunately the building and construction industry is addicted to torture and refuses to move on from Autodesk.

I use Waterfox but I’ll try that too. Would suck because I like Waterfox.

Noted. Will try that! Thanks

No way. Fry it, mash it, stick it in a stew, I say!

Thanks. I think they do ok in New Zealand though with the Maori.

Well, I’m in Australia so I would try and communicate with the indigenous population and teach them how to defend themselves against the upcoming colonist invasion and take advantage of what they have to offer, starting with forcing a signed treaty.

On a separate note, I just installed a Linux partition on my laptop to dual boot since I still need windows for AGI32 and Autodesk. Next weekend, I’ll be shrinking my windows partition, move my files to a new partition and mount it in Linux so I can access files both ways.

Feels so good to have absolute control of my computer again.

I’m glad I got out when I could because Recall is such a dodgy ‘feature’.

As a non American, I keep seeing this excuse and I’m always gobsmacked.

Bad candidate compared to… Trump?

You lot sure know how to pick them (or not, as it were).

Jokes on them! I got rid of windows last week and now have Linux Mint on my PC! It’s great! All my games run and I’ve set up my own screenshot shortcut in a way that I want. Installing software through terminal commands is also a lot of fun.

It doesn’t matter. The choice was the status quo or something worse for everyone on earth, economically.

Everyone in the world knows the US election system is crap and has been getting more crap for decades. The world isn’t angry at you specifically. The world is angry at the apathy of the general American public and the sheer amount of influence America has over the global economy since WW2.

There were protests for George Floyd. There was the MeToo movement.

But when it comes to a convicted felon and known criminal taking the top seat? Crickets. Anything that isn’t US centric, such as the global economy, doesn’t seem to rustle any of your jimmies. Hence, we’re pissed because your apathy has brought in economic instability on all of us when it could have all been easily prevented.

Something as small as ‘not having the right candidate’ or even ‘sticking it to the libs’ means nothing to the rest of the world when what we have now it’s the alternative.

For a country with so much global power, the populace is so, so, so small minded.

Standards Australia is a mega rort. There are so many things that should change - such as making all standards viewable by the public to check for non compliance.

Totally agree with the feedback. Reduce and enforce maximum vehicle sizes or class the yank tanks as trucks.

Time to test out Armor Paint this weekend then.

So, who will be America’s Navalny?

Oooh! I had this back in the day. It was absolutely fantastic. I would love for this to come back again. I miss physical buttons and being able to do everything on the phone with one hand.

I thought the EU was reducing funding to FOSS projects and investing more into AI. I could’ve sworn I read that somewhere last year.

I think it was this event that I read.

Going to migrate to Bazzite. Just need a free weekend to do it.

No, you’re definitely allowed. Otherwise you’d have had your comments removed from the public discourse.

The up and downs just gauge public approval to the comment. Remember, you’re also free to up and down vote to voice your disagreement.

Also remember, if you think everyone around you are assholes then likely you’re the asshole.

Edit: I just saw your other comment on the lack of variety of posts. Be the change you want to see. Find something interesting and make a post!

Hang on. I just scrolled down the comments list for a couple of minutes and didn’t see anyone calling anyone else a Nazi or a fascist. What are you going on about?

And YouTube is a company. They don’t believe in anything except increasing shareholder value. It’s got nothing about far left or whatever. Gender identity isn’t even a far left idea, unless your Overton window is skewed.

Also, you’ve just sort of outed yourself unnecessarily as an ignorant bigot in a left leaning community with your statement:

Just because someone doesn’t want to play the gender tip toe dance, doesn’t mean they’re nazis

Of course they’re not Nazis. No one’s calling them a Nazi. They’re calling that someone a bigot.

Actually, it seems that people here are more concerned about companies not sticking to the far left ideology

Actually, it’s people who are concerned about companies kowtowing to a fascist regime, the Trump government.

personally hand voters $1 million checks after giving a speech in which he wore a cheesehead hat.

But those who received the cheques were Republican contacts right?

Until March 31st, 2026, the GameChat system will be available for free for all Switch 2 owners

Is this so they can lock it behind the subscription after this? Along with all the other new features, not worth it for me. Getting the steam deck once I can’t get anymore physical games on the switch 1.
