- Comment on Linux Mint 22 released: An attractive option for migrating away from Windows | Windows 11 system requirements block millions of PCs from upgrading, while Linux Mint continues to work on older hardware 3 months ago:
I switched my main gaming computer to Mint after testing it on a laptop. Being away from Windows is awesome. You know how everything always wants your attention on Windows? Your antivirus proudly announces its existence. Windows wants to know if it should remove some printers? Some PDF software needs updated RIGHT NOW. There’s a license change please acknowledge this 20 page document. Animated attention grabbing everywhere. I always think FUCK OFF when presented with this bullshit.
You know what - Mint doesn’t do that. I’ve not been internally shouting at my own computer since I went that way.
It is serene.
- Comment on Hey Evolution! You know that flinch I do when I think of embarrassing things in my past, sometimes accompanied by a groan? 5 months ago:
Yeah that’s not the problem we’re talking about, it’s about still being presented with these 45 years later, with memories from a time when you were a stupid little kid.
Stupid brain.
- Comment on Even this post is propaganda. 6 months ago:
That’s exactly how they get you, by telling you everybody is influenced (and stupid) but you and them, the smart people.
- Comment on 783 million people face chronic hunger. Yet the world wastes 19% of its food, UN says 7 months ago:
Interesting. 19% doesn’t sound like a lot to me. To create food security, you have to overproduce, to create food security for all food items, you’ll have to overproduce them individually. I would have guessed that the number would be in the high 30s.
Anyway, the food is there, and has been for many years. The organizations and distribution networks are there. This is not a failure of production.
Hunger today is always created by politics, most often by war.
