I only think of a First Lady.

I use Kagi and love it.

Same, but I recently moved to UBlue. Really good experiences so far. That distro is bulletproof.

Debug, you say? Windows is way harder to keep running than Linux. At least an immutable distro like UBlue. You don’t need to debug anything. Just get it running, get some shit installed over the top, and it will auto update forever. I’ve got lots of relatives living comfortably that way for years now. If they were running Windows, it would be a support call every week and a fresh install every 2 years.

Now, Mac I’ll grant you. A Mac will also just keep running forever. But you can run nearly every Windows game on Linux and almost none of them on Mac. And Mac requires special hardware.

And then the person saying that FF blows because Google is the default browser uses… a Chromium wrapper.

If that thing can do 157 miles, I’ll eat my hat. It’s got a Leaf-sized battery in it, which was actually pretty efficient, yet struggled to hit 80 miles in good weather. Still glad to see it though.

At least Toronto has 3 million people. This is a city that routinely holds 1/3 of its population in its own football stadium.

 

This is in a city of 175,000 people. And in a “liberal”, West Coast, US city. You really can’t get away from this stuff in North America.

How did Trump “engage in insurrection” though? He said some firey stuff to a rally, then didn’t stop it when it was happening, but that’s all I know about.

No, not at all. More like, if your car is broken you could also ride a bike, or walk, or take a bus or a cab or a train or an airplane. Sometimes it’s helpful to have solutions presented that you didn’t even think of. Like how you assumed that the only way to deal with a broken car is to fix it or buy a new one. That’s not true at all, and I’m here to help you explore all the ways to solve your problem, not just the ones at the top of your mind at the moment.

It’s the only perspective I have, unfortunately.

Using a different tool is not abandoning the problem.

Ah yes, put your problem out in the internet, then get befuddled when people suggest solutions. Classic.

 

“We needed to create a stir to get some change, to get them [city council] to fund us back up. And I mean, that’s the honest truth. I know, that could make things more dangerous. I don’t know. But at the same time, we needed some change.”

I had no idea we even had these things. So quiet and smooth! You don’t realize how damn loud a normal bus is until you’re wooshed around on an electric one. TriMet doesn’t even say it’s electric anywhere. Just that it’s “zero emissions”.
