There is value in trying things outside your comfort zone. It's the only way to grow, or find new things you like.

I swapped to Linux in the last month. But honestly being able to use my phone as a backup made me not worry about needing a computer right then.

Cuba is an interesting one.

The problems with Cuba are political prisoners and their handling of AIDS. And a huge chunk of issues intertwined with the trade embargo.

As with all nations, it could be better, but it's far from the worst nation in the world.

"the soulless agents of orthodoxy!"

Taking suggestions for new media isn't a sign of youth. Imagine having a friend recommend a book and saying "I'm no callow youth! I'll select my own media thank you!"

Don't join the army.

I'm not young and I still will play a game because it's suggested to me. If everyone tells me a particular game/movie/book/restaurant is amazing, I'm going to try it.

Taking the advice of others and trying new things isn't a sign of inexperience.

I think it's both an issue if hardware support and being the little guy.

If Linux wants to be bigger it needs to change it's selling point. People have been conditioned to think of free software as bloated ad-fests by their phones. My wife was asking how I liked Linux and I could only describe apps as the early Android app store where everything was free and generally great.

Calling out Windows for privacy issues doesn't have too much sway. Mostly because the damage is done, people have posted on Facebook and agreed to every tracker, what's one more? Calling out Windows for being slower, showing you ads all the time and taking away features might have more traction.

I just swapped to Linux, and it's harder to use than windows, sort of.

I still can't get one headphone jack to work on my case and my wifi printer/scanner can't be controlled on the printer anymore. Troubleshooting has two modes, a step by step instructions set that either works or doesn't, or highly technical stuff that is above my expertise.

Delta green is great.

I love how TTRPGs are the model for having a quality product means people will buy it. It's not difficult to pirate everything, and many systems are just flat out free. And yet I buy most of it.

I don't care what rights they want to curtail, if they say they'll lower my taxes by a nickel I'll vote for them!

Brave is chromium.
