Boomer here. As a lifelong software developer I’ve always known more about computers than most people in my age group generally, but I’ve always assumed younger people know more than I do because they’ve grown up with so much more tech. Maybe they tend to be more at user-level with it. I’ve never thought about that.

Dunno how that’s relevant but thanks - LOLOL worth the watch.

FoxOS - coming soon?

Speaking of a chromebook experience, installing ChromeOS Flex on my wife’s slow, outdated Surface Pro made it sleek and fast again. Can you suggest a Linux distro that would be similar on old laptops?

As a retired software dev, for me Windows is simply a longtime habit enforced by past work environments. I did use Linux for over a year on my main PC but went back to Windows so I could keep using my old copy of Visual Studio. My deeply conditioned shortcut keystrokes didn’t work in VSCode - in fact, why did they change so much of the UI? But now that I’m used to VSCode, which I only use for hobby coding anyway, there’s no excuse and I intend to go back to Linux by year end.

Nice. Research shows 5 out of 4 polls are misleading.

Oh yeah I read it wrong. Nevertheless, the point is that this one statistic doesn’t tell a whole story.

I think even that is reaching. Most of them don’t want to punish women for extramarital sex, they just think God’s will is that those women deserve what they get. Of course they still defy God’s will by wearing glasses if God gave them bad eyes, but that’s just more shoddy reasoning.

I think that’s confusing simple ignorance and crappy reasoning with hate, which is a very misapplied word today. Another example is people who don’t recycle - they don’t hate the environment, they’re just fucking lazy.

Co-worker once told me managers are like assholes, everybody has at least one.

Yeah I kind of thought the statement was somehow obliquely anti-trans, but I didn’t want to open that can of arsenic.

Wow… I’m in the 21% who don’t oppose abortion and I also don’t go to clinics to harass the doctors, so apparently the story has at least 3 halves.

Almost as if claiming a simple statistic tells the whole story doesn’t tell the whole story.

Weird how many pro-lifers also support the death penalty.

As one of the 21% who support abortion I think this statement is a little cavalier. The numbers tell more than one story.

LOL the first trick is my go to. I regularly read Washington Post articles in notepad.

Yep, that’s what I heard. They also do overnight backups so it needs downtime, kind of like people.

You’ll know you’re in trouble if you’re arguing and he stares blankly and starts jabbing his finger at the air.
