Agentic is currently my most hated word.

Why would they charge less when people are still paying whatever they ask?

Yeah no kidding.

Bombs in toys for kids isn’t enough to dislodge the “neutrality”.

Really? I hate it. But just get a notification that they reacted, not what the reaction was. It’s not a bad idea to show that you’ve seen the email, but I haven’t liked the implementation.

Wouldn’t you just start getting weird 2FA requests if they were being used? Could probably wait until then.

Disable it? Doug, kick it off the tour!

Fucking bloat.

I was in the sane situation as you and what I did was buy a new drive to put Linux on so I could dual boot and get used to things without wiping everything. Linux can even mount your Window drive if you need to access data on it.

I tried a few distro myself but landed on Garuda Dr460onized Gaming. (You can look at different versions here) The gaming version came with steam and Heroic installed and had a nice colour theme picked. Gaming has been great and all Windows games that I’ve tried have worked better than when I was running Windows. (Rocket League, Hades 2, Uncharted 4 to name some) You can always keep Windows on your other drive and boot it for games like Fortnite that have kernel level anti cheat.

The only issue you might have is that Garuda is pretty bleeding edge with when updates get applied. This can be good or bad. There were some issues getting dual screens working for me at first, but those issues have gone away completely now. I also had issues with the top menu bar crashing and disappearing. Lasted about 2 weeks and then an update fixed it. (Survived by using the Meta + Spacebar search launcher and Ctrl + Alt + T to get into a terminal) So updates to fix issues come out somewhat quickly, but issues pop up too. I actually think it’s been pretty stable right now.

But isn’t Bazzite an immutable distro? I heard that has some advantages and some disadvantages especially when installing software. I skipped on it when I heard that for my desktop OS, but I haven’t actually tried it.

Combined with killing journalists.

I used to have this really awesome early 2000’s transparent blue plastic keyboard with all the newest media keys. The only problem was that it had 4 windows keys on it! One on either side of the spacebar. The right side of the spacebar was Alt, Windows, Context menu, CTRL. That was a bit weird but it was alright. The next placements were crazy though. Someone figured there was space for more keys right below the Delete, End and Page Down keys but I guess they couldn’t really figure out what would be best for there so they put a 3rd Windows key, a 2nd Context Menu and then a 4th Windows key right there. This was pretty close to the arrow keys and if anyone remembers gaming in the early 2000’s, pressing the windows key accidentlly would often just crash your game completely. If you could get back into it, it could take quite a while for it to respond again. So if you were playing something like Warcraft 2 multiplayer, that button was a fucking nightmare.

Ugh, I loved the colour of that keyboard so much I put up with all those windows keys.

edit: I can’t believe I found it! I’ve tried searching for this keyboard a few times, but finally found proof on this site!

Well it’s not like they paid you to display their logo. I think you’re just fiscally responsible and more people should do that.

Perfect for a brogrammer.

It’s like Russian Roulette when using them to pick up dog shit. Although I have to say they seem to have gotten a lot better lately. Either that or my dogs just shit a lot more and I go though them faster.

Interesting.

I see this sort of thing all the time. Construction crew shows up and blocks the bike lane. Cars get pylons and flag crews, but bikes get either grass/sidewalk or merge with traffic. And if you choose either you have to be very careful that you don’t get creamed.

Hosted in Europe? All aboard the US boycott train!

I’m not as big of a fan of impossible, but it’s been a while since I’ve tried it. I know Beyond Meat has gotten better over time. I’d be willing to try it again but it doesn’t seem to be as available where I live.

I actually really love beyond meat burgers and added as a ground beef substitute. I found that if the patties are charred the blackened char is like a brand new spice. Can’t really compare it to anything and I love it.
