I’ve been a computer geek since 1987. I started out on dos and spent a lot of my time in Windows, but I’ve used Linux as well for more than 25 years now.

This article was as useless and as stupid as I anticipated. They clearly are happy in Linux and they were not going to be happy in Windows.

I’m quite happy in both. I like both. I think there’s advantages and disadvantages to both. I will definitely say that there are some things I really prefer in Linux. But in recent years, a lot of that I’ve gotten to incorporate over on the window side things.

I now have bash under Windows. I have the compose key under Windows thanks to a third party utility called wincompose. It’s free.

It doesn’t take me excessive clicks to do things. In Windows I mean.

And thanks to modern technology, not quite everything is upgraded under Linux with APK anymore.

I’ve had very few problems under Windows. And I’ve had very few problems under Linux. As far as system stability.

Use what you like. Use what you enjoy. Use what works better for you. For me, that’s both.

Welcome to the USA. :(

I think it’s more likely to influence midterms. But who knows. Heh

MAGA eats this shit up. So it’s not true that “no one” is buying it, alas.

U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro attempted to bar former U.S. Olympic canoeist David Hearn from the pool after he pleaded not guilty to damaging it, only to be rebuffed by D.C. Superior Court Judge Carmen McLean.

They attempted to bar him from access.

This is not plausible.

The only two things I’ve seen that are plausible:

• Loss leader - they’re using this to make a splash and prices will rise later
• Some political group is subsidizing for political purposes

This really doesn’t make sense if you have even the little knowledge I have of how the petroleum pipeline works (and I know very little). Oil is refined in refineries and gets sent out in bulk. At the more local level, it’s all the same gas - companies put in additives that can be per-brand, but the gas going to one gas station is the same basic gas going to another.

Perhaps there’s a financial thing going on where they put cheap oil in and so sign contracts for a lower price on the other end or something, but it’s not going to be that same oil.

So when I see assertions like this that get popular support and agreement, I find it bothersome. I’d rather know the truth than make random accusations. The truth is bad enough without bringing fiction in.

I keep seeing claims that Trump is doing this, but I have not seen anyone make any actual assertions of an evidence to that effect.

While Trump has jumped on the promotion, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s in on it somehow, it really sounds to me like some MAGA asshat who’s trying to take advantage for publicity.

I’d really like to know who’s paying for it, though, and why. Maybe it’s just an introductory price to convince people they’ll sell it for less, but I don’t see how that’ll get long-term customers.

Either way, the wild claims with nothing to back them up (i.e. OP’s title) really annoy me. There’s so much to be angry at. Fabricating lies is not needed. Or certainly saying things that are not known to be true - even the article doesn’t say Trump is doing this, just the submitted title.

Looking at history is always wise because you can look for things that worked and other things that didn’t work, and try to figure out why, and replicate the things that worked and avoid the things that didn’t work.

Otherwise, you risk repeating mistakes already learned at the price of blood.

At worst, you can ignore the unhelpful things you’ve learned (that are not worth avoiding).

To be fair, we really should be trying to solve our problems anyway. Lol

Are there not grammar Nazis? ;-)

It’s the fash-test way to gain power.

Apologies for the shitty pun. But only if it made you groan

Or ICE scaring off workers and food rotting in fields and construction work being slowed. It’s infuriating on many levels.

This cannot stand? You just said a stand on every corner! ;-)

And there’s not even any ICE over there!

(Don’t read too much into a silly pun)

Not seeing any alternatives presented here…

Block me too, while you’re at it, since you can’t even fucking google basic shit. Jesus christ.

20,000-30,000 miles to cover 250,000-300,000 people (I looked for numbers based on places with at least 100 people) for a total cost of $2,000,000,000-$7,000,000,000.

Good luck with that.

On the contrary, you are clearly a troll, and even if you were correct, you do not get a pass on that word.

The used the “R” word, an epithet.
