My dad had problems with Ubuntu since the snaps didn’t communicate well. For example opening links in Thunderbird using Firefox.

I would recommend mint just to avoid the snaps.

The unity mile, of course. It’s 10,688.54 m.

Or about 11 swedish miles per day.

Can I suggest vim or emacs?

Doom emacs. There is no end to customizability with emacs. Doom provides a great starting point for most things.

These devices also collect a lot of personal data. The internet connection isn’t necessarily for the device to be useful, but rather to serve ads or sell user information to the highest bidder. Just look at how cars gather data that insurance companies buy. Or the news that Jeep were going to start displaying ads in the center console.

This is exactly right. AI can only interpolate between datapoints. I used to write code for research papers and chat gpt couldn’t understand a thing I asked of it.

We have the same problem with literacy here in Sweden. It’s unnerving to think that these kids will need to become doctors, lawyers and police officers in the future.

You work as a fog horn?

A similar one in Swedish:

Bar barbar-bar barbar bar bar barbar-bar barbar.

This can be translated to “a lightly dressed barbarian from a bar for barbarians carried a lightly dressed barbarian from a bar for barbarians.”

An ethernet port is essential for any computer.

Just start with Linux mint and cinnamon or kde desktop environment. You should be good to go with that. Kernels are not something that you usually need to worry about, the default should work fine. If you need to, it’s easy to switch to another kernel by just installing it through the package manager.

I get the feeling, but in my experience it has more to do with the windows UI actual getting worse. When I use Linux, I’m happy to try out different desktop environments and shells, but they have one thing in common: they have designs that are created more thoughtfully.

It’s not just us growing old, it’s the world of technology growing shittier too!

Maybe for now, but there’s fewer and fewer around. In ten-twenty years time it will be hard to find a 90s car with reasonable mileage.

And this is one reason why I hate modern cars. But then again, there’s no alternative, and that sucks.

I had a nightmare where windows 11 was automatically installed on my Linux computer since it shared network with a windows one.

Truefitt and Hill makes a fantastic aftershave balm that I find greatly reduces razor burn and ingrown hairs. For my hands I use lanolin, it’s a bit greasy but works wonders for dry hands.

The main difference between the two in your analogy, that has great bearing on this particular problem, is that the machine learning model is a product that is to be monetized.

Exactly. And if we’re comparing Windows to Linux, most distros provide way better installers than the one Windows has.

It could have to do with the make and model of the razor. Some have a more aggressive angle than others. There’s also the blades. Have you tried feather blades?
