The Mayonnaise part was hard to watch… 🤢

You should post this in unpopular opinion and add a reason or three. It’ll make your day.

3.1 looked terrible.

2000 was stable and looked decent for it’s time. Enjoyed the look of 10, but behind the scenes it was invasive. 11 is terrible on the looks* and the invasiveness.

*) seriously… it looks dated and cluttered after using something like Gnome for a while

“I present: the Jericho.”

Sadly, quite a few things. Here’s a few:

• Application support; some popular software is built with Windows in mind.
• One-click installers; Software usually comes with user-friendly installation wizards. No command lines or dependency juggling. Also better compatibility woth past versions
• Driver availability; Linux is getting better, but Windows is superior
• Better peripheral support like for printers, webcams, game controllers.
• Gaming performance; although Linux is gaining ground, Windows is just better in this regard
• Media codecs and formats; again, Linux is getting better, but this isn’t always an out-of-the-box experience
• Business integration; Windows plays nicely with enterprise tools like Active Directory, Microsoft 365, and legacy business apps.

Don’t get me wrong. I use Linux as my daily driver. That also means I get frustrated on occasion when again I must consult man pages instead of just running a troubleshooter or fiddling with Nvidia drivers instead of just running the game.

There are so many examples for this. Some that come to mind:

• “He has 30 years” instead of “He is 30 years old” (Spanish “Tiene 30 años”)
• “How do you call this?” instead of “What do you call this?” (e.g., French: Comment ça s’appelle? I think German too)
• “I’m going in the bus” instead of “I’m going on the bus”
• “She is more nice” instead of “She is nicer”

Apart from that, try explaining to a learner why “Read” (present) and “Read” (past) is spelled the same but pronounced differently.

Or plural (or do I capitalize that here? 🤔) inconsistencies: one “mouse,” two “mice”; but one “house,” two “houses.” To be fair, other languages do that stuff too.

If this becomes viable - which would be amazing! -, how long does this take to become available in most countries?

Personally I find that linking “making money” with “climbing the social ladder” is at the core of many of our issues.

Going even further, ranking each other based on factors like wealth, education, occupation, influence, etc. is degrading and leads to inequality, corruption and emotional/mental health problems, to name a few. The idea that success is measured almost exclusively by economic gain and social rank distorts human values.

“Conservative Dad” can look quite fashionable if done right.

This is the reason I keep a dumbphone with radio in an emergency bag. Battery lasts forever, I can call and text and, well, radio! Any cheap pair of headphones will work with it.

People weren’t supposed to create that shortcut in the first place, thus disrespecting the park.

In case you’re wondering. The rival is IRIS2.

Fully agree.

And guilt - if in appropriate measure - can protect from repeating mistakes. Excessive or misplacedd guilt is another matter, of course.

No, you haven’t figured life out yet.

Listen to older ones and have mature friends.

Be happy before getting into any relationship.

And yet, the wants of the many often do.

I agree. That app sadly eats battery like no other I have. So the walk isn’t too long.

One of the rawest moments of human emotion in modern Star Wars. All executed by brilliant cinematography, writing, acting… such a powerful scene!

Why do some have the need to describe things in the oddest “measurements”? I understand that it makes it easier to imagine sometimes, but “half a” … never mind, found someone who explains this much better than me: https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/for-want-of-a-half-giraffe/
