This is a public forum, are you saying that they are allowed an opinion and I am not?

I chose to bicker because it was a ludicrous statement. Whatever else you need to tell yourself is for your own comfort.

No, the point was that wasn’t unrealistic science fiction in the 70s. The idea that someday you wouldn’t have to touch the cassette was not unrealistic science fiction.

Just because you’re wrong doesn’t mean you need to be an ass.

Cassette tapes existed in the 70s I could listen to the same music in my car and in my house, by simply ejecting the tape and carrying it in with me. The way you’re describing shit you might as well say it was science fiction in the 90s too you’re splitting hairs that don’t need to be split and that more importantly have nothing to do with your original argument.

No, the vast majority of things we used today were not science fiction in the 70s.

Mobile phones, the Internet, satellites, etc. all of these things existed before the 70s.

The biggest technological innovation of the last hundred years has been miniaturization.

So they don’t rent to stay at home parents either then right???

They are called “fully furnished” and it is especially common in condos and beach houses and similar.

I mostly agree with you, but I would caution that not all credit unions are the same. Mine for instance has enshitified hard over the last 10 years. For instance they’ve removed all tellers from every branch except their main one and replaced them with ATMs.

There was an attempt back in the day to do something like that but it never went anywhere.

This is a problem for adults too, which is why they make dedicated distraction free writing devices and software. It’s not the screens, it’s how they are being used.

Some people like offal…

The fifth amendment applies to this because he was a US citizen. He had every right to not give them his pin and it would only be destroying evidence if charges had been pressed. In this case some butt hurt border guard just really wanted to look at his vacation pictures or some shit.

What should the tiny independent media company do instead to keep the lights on? I’m just as annoyed as you but we also have precious few independent media companies left.

I had never heard of stable flies before. Here we have horse flies that are apparently similar but not the same species as stable flies.

They were also complicated circuit boards with full color manuals and box graphics, none of which is in digital nor the overhead of the creation thereof.

I had been waiting to get one until I could afford it… fuck me right?

The point of Gnome is that you can’t do those things without extensions. It makes it way harder for grandma to fuck something up. But you can still do them. On the other hand I have found things that are easy to customize in Gnome with extensions, like laptop trackpad gestures, that are nonexistent in KDE with or without extensions as far as I can tell.

But like I said before, to each their own. We are just talking about two different approaches to the same solution. I often recommend KDE to people who are coming over from Windows, but after over 25 years of trying different ones I keep going back to Gnome personally. The only major exception was when Gnome 3 came out I spent several years on Mate (a fork of Gnome 2).

How is that different than KDE? You can recreate the KDE stock layout in Gnome too.

That’s what the link says…

Crunchy peanut butter is a myth, it’s just creamy peanut butter with peanuts added back in.
