It would definitely be a complement, though your SO may not take it as a compliment. 🫶🏿

Richard Sherman for the Seahawks…didn’t see that coming. He has been a pretty vocal detractor since being released.
That was the point I was trying to make ultimately, but apparently failed to articulate it well enough.
Oh no, I’m not washing my ass with soap every time, but I commend you for commitment to the cause.
The problem has been that Intel and Microsoft engaged in anticompetitive strategic execution to ensure that each would be a winner over the course of most of our lifetimes. That’s why “Wintel” became a household term over the late 90s.
Now, if you’re building any sort of hardware, why would you pay developers to write drivers for Linux, a hobbyist operating system that had no money flowing around it? Absolute saints cobbled together drivers for video, audio, modem, and other hardware just to make things barely usable, often with buggy behavior. Without insider knowledge of the hardware and firmware design, nor the sheer manpower to do development, Linux floundered in graphical user environments for a long time.
There were proprietary codecs, browser plugins, winmodems, and all sorts of things tailored to Windows user environments that were difficult or impossible to get working on Linux. Linux experts became surly and inaccessible due to the heavy burden of helping newbies just get the system booted and their VGA settings properly set. And so, Linux remained a hobbyist operating system for a long time. User groups finally got companies like NVIDIA to help write drivers for their hardware, and now, getting to a working Ubuntu desktop is arguably simpler than Windows 11.
IMO the problem remains collaboration, engineering, and gaming. The new Winmodem is AutoCAD, Microsoft Office, and BG3. Until the Linux user base grows to a point that it can’t be ignored by the companies developing these products, it’ll remain a very niche OS.

What the actual fuck? Can you imagine of George Soros did this during Obama’s terms? Any of it?
It is illegal in most places. Enforcement is the problem.
Socks and sandals is awesome.
Why does this asshole feel the need to even mention protecting the second amendment right after people die to gun violence?
This is one of those big, red, blinking warnings that he is far from presidential. The guy is a fucking idiotic.
Trump wants to use the deal to signal that Ukraine is a trade partner with the US? Then why can’t they join NATO to achieve the same thing?
I sense Ukraine is bound to just get spit roasted by the US and Russia when Russia refuses to capitulate and Trump turns his back on Ukraine yet again. He’s shown his cards, he can’t be trusted.
Good luck, Europe.
Wait, has it already been 24 hours?
