I live in a country where our ISPs are required by law to keep a record of our internet metadata. When ISPs have been subpoenaed in the past ths answer has often been "we don't keep that data".

So in that case we're looking at a likelihood of 1 vs less than 1. So you're wrong there.

Plus, I would love to hear your source on these probabilities you proclaim. Can you share how you know this?

You said "far more likely", so one assumes you have the numbers.

Also weirdly accepts the premise of the story then calls it a lie. Like at least have some narrative cohesion in your snark, people, it's not hard.

Yeah, this is just the thin end of the wedge.

Although I suppose you could call windows itself the thin end of the wedge, this is a slightly wider part.

Get yourself a nice smokey chipotle hot sauce in your mac and cheese. Best thing ever.

I use librecalc - I would've used excell in a previous life, but most spreadsheets will do - and what I like about it is that I can keep a running tally of the entire calculation chain as I go. And once you learn to use the tool, it can do much, much more powerful things.

If you like factory designing games, I can recommend anything by Zachtronics.

They're all esoteric programming/automation type puzzle games, and they all have their own unique solitaire games built-in for whenever you get tired of the main game.

My personal favourites are SpaceChem - scifi molecule factories - and Opus Magnum - steampunk alchemical molecule factories. Something about the molecules just works for me, don't know why. Plus the Opus Magnum solitaire game is really unique and fun, and it has a user-made level feature, so you can keep playing.

Last Call BBS is a collection of minigames they made as their final release before shutting up shop, so it's a lot more casual than the others, but a lot of fun.

The full list of her titles is a short book.

Even the "full honorifics" are usually a long and boring paragraph.

People usually don't use them because a) it's annoying, b) it takes too long, and/or c) we don't particularly want to honour her and the extremely long list of genocides that those titles are formed from.

Efficiency doesn't matter if you're shipping material for production halfway round the world and shipping those products halfway back just because rich people wanted to outsource to cheap labour, and overproduce cheap crap that falls apart way too fast so they can sell us the same cheap crap again a couple years later. It's mostly waste. Some shipping is necessary, but I'd say a vast majority we could do without.

Like I don't believe for a second that these tarrifs will actually fix this problem because they're just a big tantrum with zero strategy involved, but in an ideal world we would make a lot more locally and spend a lot less energy sending things all over the planet to make a handful of shareholders slightly higher margins.

That doesn't make her not the queen of England, though, so the other person isn't wrong.

The thing that makes her not the queen of England is being dead as shit.

And those laws were written under the belief that "it is surely safe to assume any truck this big is a work truck, nobody would ever drive a truck this big just to go get groceries, that would be absurd".

Finally gave in and tried Mint recently when my Ubuntu was crapping out on me. It turned out to be a BIOS issue that I subsequently fixed, but I'm glad I did it, because it is the very first time for me when a linux install went smoothly and got me doing what I wanted without making me tear out my hair for hours at a time.

It actually felt better than a Windows install because on top of being smooth, it didn't bombard me with dark pattern data mining AI-riddled trash.

I can't ditch Windows entirely because of a handful of things that cannot run without it, but for the first time Linux has become a daily driver for me.

So yeah, I would stick with Mint. Turns out the hype was real.

It's like a UNION but you don't STOP at couple of PAY RAISE HANDOUTS you just KEEP GOING till YOU OWN IT ALL.

HELL YEAH BROTHER (INCLUSIVE)
