Biiig difference to me - kinda annoying. I’m sure it’ll grow on me eventually - but the show is loosing its pizazz, I hope they can turn it around.

Hopefully you’re doing better!

Someone else recently explained it best: It’s elderly abuse.

The entourage encircling these elderly congressional leaders are profiting greatly. As soon as these senators retire, these leeches lose nearly everything.

It’s a Weekend At Bernie’s movie plot, but with extra steps.

The more tactile, the better I say. The clickity clack is just an added bonus.

Cool - forcing ads into the start menu, forcing edge on users. Guess like Win10 is where I leave windows forever.

I downloaded Mandrake Linux back in 1992. I’ve always fiddled with linux over the years but could never fulfill all my needs. But things have changed recently. I’ve started using ChatGPT to help me when I hit roadblocks with Linux, and it’s REALLY helped work around the various barriers that have kept me from fully adopting linux. Honestly, I am looking forward to switching entirely over to Linux for my business - I’m tired of Windows. And I’ve been here since Win3.1!!

I haven’t done much with Excel and Word these days, but I have not had a single issue opening standard documents. The PDF import capabilities for LibreDraw work reasonably well. Many MANY years ago I fiddled with OpenOffice and then LibreOffice before moving to Office365 for a while.

Now I’m back to LibreOffice for the past 5+ years and haven’t had any complaints

Dammmn, that’s a sick burn. I love it

Yep, exactly. As cool as DU rounds sound on the battlefield as a competitive advantage for piercing armor. They are a health risk to both the soldiers handling them and absolutely poisons the soil which will have an affect on future generations living on that land.

But I guess that’s the point - to scare the russians as well as salt the earth so it’s useless irradiated soil for either side to use for decades to come… Or I’m sure if Russia keeps the land, they’ll simply mine it anyways and who gives a hoot about the health of government workers mining resources for the motherland, right?? /s

Lol, oh sweet child. You have much to learn about what a corporation says, and what they’re forced to do by government regulations. Without them, corporations can (and will) do anything they want for the sake of more profits.

Unfortunately, with a country run by a bunch of geriatrics who hardly understand the concept of the “internet” and hardware/software, let alone the nuances of different social media platforms or how different communities within the internet interact.

I avoided chrome for a long time. Finally I made the switch because FF was getting too slow on old computers back in the day. Lasted for maybe five or six years before I started getting some bad vibes. Why am I letting google run the web browsing software I’m using? This can’t/won’t be good in the future.

At least five years ago I made the switch back to Firefox, and haven’t looked back. I love having adblocking that works (I use a router level ad block and ublock origin just in case to ensure I block almost every ad on the internet lol).

I’m honestly surprised it took people this long to decide to move away from Chrome.

I love these types of articles. I feel like there should be a community for these, but I don’t know what it’d be called

well, I mean if the shoe fits, you know they’re gonna wear it

Damn, did they digitally de-age Kenan and Kel? That’s freaking impressive

There’s been a lot of chatter that he is seriously ill (I’ve heard cancer or Parkinson, but who knows what it really is) - people who’ve analyzed the recent photos say they see swelling in his hands/wrists which could indicate the use of strong steroids which are known to alter thought processes that could explain his recent believe that he could win a conflict with Ukraine and beat India to the south pole of the moon (concurrently no less).

I’m honestly impressed that russia admitted the landing failed at all, I figured they would have simply kept quiet. I guess they know we have strong enough telescopes to see the crash site? Who knows lol

Well, I mean NASA pulled a spare mars rover out of their R&D testing labs, modified it’s toolset a bit, and sent it to Mars for a second soft landing (didn’t they use a sky-crane for both rover deployments?). I’d say that takes a bit more skill than landing on the Moon. But I don’t play Kerbal Space Program enough to know how much

Cool thanks for that, I’ve honestly never fiddled with Open SUSE, I gravitated to Linux Mint a while back and like that it’s still under constant development.

Dang, wasn’t aware of that with the animated movie.

and the Calvin pissing image is not an approved image. He regretted not doing more to sue the copyright infringers.

Pretty sure I read that he licensed one of the graphics with calvin pissing, but he never intended for people to copy the design and alter the graphic used in the artwork. Now I’m trying to dig through my old C&H books to find where he mentions it lol.

Back when he was just wrapping up C&H, he published a book (I forget the name) where he talks about his experiences, his favorite strips, etc.

He has often mentioned licensing and how he had resisted animated series because he knew they were going to kill the magic that is C&H. One of his biggest regrets was licensing the rights to the Calvin pissing on the FORD logo (or was it Chevy? I forget). Because that was in poor taste and now it’s everywhere.

I’m honestly shocked that he’s agreed to an animated movie, I figured he must have passed away and his estate was milking the C&H for more royalties haha.
