Duh. They use phones mostly. A lot of the gen z people I know are just as bad as boomers with tech. Millennials and gen x had that sweet spot of “actually having to learn how shit works not just iphone go brrr.”

Yess YEESSS! Gabba gabba we accept you, one of us! One of us!

Something like that, yeah. They don’t all notify.

I know that, you know that, many know that, but many don’t. Imo they should be required to inform you, preferably with a splash screen on boot or something similar that says “monitored by XXXXX” or something. Especially for things like schools where it’s more likely kids won’t know it (and will be more likely to become privacy advocates for life from knowingly having theirs violated.)

That said, where there’s a will, there is indeed a way. Japan for example has abysmal suicide rates, they have a huge shame culture and it’s culturally (more) accepted with the seppuku and the suicide forests and all, and they also have virtually 0 gun ownership. Suicide is still very easy without a gun, and a gun is not even the most effective method statistically (though I hesitate to say what is because it’s literally accessible to most of the world’s population within a 10-20min walk at all times. Don’t do it, seek help, keep fighting.)

I think the bad stock placement was more due to the terrible eye relief on a backwards LPVO lol.

How would someone who isn’t a master at arms and probably qualifies on a weapon once, maybe twice a year going to know that someone else installed the sight on his weapon backwards?

Well, in the photo he’s looking through it. You ever look through a telescope or some binoculars backwards? Scope supposed to make things bigger, not smaller, good clue. And tbf he should know that.

Honestly if you figured out lemmy you can figure out linux at least enough not to be a 95yo about it.

Use a distro that is both popular and good for beginners, like Fedora or it’s KDE spin, or Mint. There will be learning, there probably will be troubleshooting, you’re switching from something you’ve always been familiar with to a new thing, it is unavoidable. It’s like moving to Mexico, you’ll need to pick up at least a little Spanish. It’s really not as hard as people make it seem, most questions will be solved by searching the problem and pasting in a terminal command, but it’s good to learn what those commands do over time. It might benefit you to use the computer more often while learning if possible.

Do it, you’ll be fine!

That’s how it starts. Gabba gabba we accept you, one of us, one of us.

I’ve been known to watch a fight video there every now and again, yes.

Oh no way Thurl too? He’s grrreat! I’m going to have to watch this, I’ve only seen the first one (which of course I love).

I would always make one of my friends play the Banjo Kazooie theme on bass back in the day lol.

Hold The Line brother!

This puts a whole new spin on Visigoths.

RFK Jr. is an independent, iirc he was considering running as a Dem before that. The Libertarian candidate this go-'round is Chase Oliver.

No this is good, I’ve been complaining about this since I was a kid and drank one where the straw got all clogged up so I cut into it and there was some creepy gross dead worm looking thing.

K-Hive just makes me think of K-Hole, which makes me think both of Ketamine and A-Hole lmao.

This one may not be the right call for them haha.

Thanks! This inspires confidence! Seems like it won’t be so bad!

I’m more worried about package management I guess. Though I suppose now with flatpak that may be less of an issue. Still I use some weird shit, some of it is only packaged as a .deb or .rpm on their site, like the Brother printer drivers.

And yeah the documentation lol. I rely heavily on that or places like lemmy for linux help, which is why to start I picked a really popular distro with good documentation (fedora). It’s definitely something I’ll try one day though!

You’re doing “Bob’s” work son, thank you for your service!

As a devout SubGenius myself it is my destiny to use Slackware one day but alas I fear it is currently above my skill level, more documentation will help people like me greatly! PRABOB!
