What are these “friends” people keep talking about?

Except they bought all the newspapers.

When I was young (a very long time ago), the UK was very much associated with rain. If you’d ask any non British person what they think about when they hear about the UK, the answer would have been tea, polite people and rain. I guess at least the first one still holds true.

Not a headline you’d ever have expected to read about the UK.

Heresy! Get the torches and pitchforks!

I wouldn’t rely on Germany to remain stable and democratic these days. The fascists are the strongest party and the new chancellor is an oligarchy stooge of the worst kind.

They will literally sell their own grandmother for clicks.

This guy has only one backup gun? Liberal snowflake confirmed!

Being able to acknowledge you did something wrong is a good first step. The next step would be to try to make it right as much as possible. Most people will likely have forgotten all about it though, unless you were a particularly egregious asshole. If you feel you wronged someone in the past, you can reach out to them and get their perspective. If they feel the same you can apologise and try to make right any lasting damage you caused.

This is entirely intentional. The point is to confuse the consumer and make them buy more expensive shit.

Using a machine like this just as a NAS is a bit of waste. It’s a full blown PC that would work very nicely as a home server for Jellyfin etc. The RAM will limit the utility, though.

The most depressing aspect of it is how many people keep falling for this kind of crap.

Yeah that’s just so dumb. Also, i wouldn’t be comfortable with the OS on eMMC storage. That’s hardly known for reliability. So close and yet so far.

OK. Never bought anything from Nintendo, so that’s not a great sacrifice.

That’s why you make prototypes.

Just think about how you would explain your everyday life to someone from 100, 1000 or 10000 years ago.

I second Mint. I’ve installed it on my laptop with zero issues, although that thing is pretty old so your mileage may vary on newer hardware. But mint comes with pretty up to date kernels these days so it’s definitely worth a try.

You’d likely need all kinds of cryptographic keys to get anywhere with that. Tesla is unlikely to ever publish those, even if they go bankrupt.

Yes, do donate to FOSS projects. At least that money will go to people who do the actual work and not to pad corporate profits.

Someone is waiting for his government assigned econowife.
