IRS: “Remember, you broke up with us.”

They probably have that at a state fair here in the US. They deep fry everything there, even Oreos.

The last time I had to setup a Windows profile (late last year on my then-new laptop), that was the case. Has that changed?

Being forced to be online to log in and forced use of OneDrive confuses new users just as much

You’re not forced to use either of those, IIRC. Just set it up without connecting to the internet or without signing in.

I installed Mint on a USB to give it a go.

My wifi driver doesn’t work on it. I have to plug my phone in to use it as a tethered hotspot to get it to connect. And I tried what a lot of the guides said online. Nothing.

I’d say I have the technical chops. I just don’t have the time and energy needed to try to fix something.

I’m also the kind of person that, if everything’s not working exactly the way I want it to, then I need to fix it right now. So I know I’d waste hours trying to fix something that (for me) just works on Windows.

To be fair, at least with Windows, if you do a reinstall I’ve always found that it never runs quite like it used to. I’ve sometimes had to deal with some weird quirks afterwards. A friend of mine who kept switching between Google Android and open-sourve Android on his phone said the same thing. Every time he reinstalled Google Android, it simply wouldn’t run as well as it did beforehand.

It’s like taking a plumbing pipe out and putting it back in. Or taking apart a car engine and putting it back together. It never quite fits together the way it used to anymore.

Good thing this is posted on lemmy.world.

… I think it’s the third reason. /j

Then he can remember what things were like before he fell out of a window!

They’re not trying to hide it, though.

Everyone knows that’s what they do. And that’s why they continue doing it that way. It’s a way to say, “There’s nothing you can do to stop me, now shut up and obey.”

Acute lead poisoning?

This is heavy, Doc!

They update on two Tuesdays a month

Correction: It updates every second Tuesday of the month. (Not including any potential “Preview” updates which might get released. Those are all optional updates, though.)

Fortunately it doesn’t look like there were no consequences.

No word yet on legal consequences, but the court of public opinion has already sentenced him.

Not OP, but mine’s not connected to blinking.

There used to be a subreddit for us. It was called /r/eyeshakers.

By the way, the scientific name for the eye shake thing, IIRC, is nystagmus.

Why is it all I see is ****?
