Definitely the Lord of the Rings movie trilogy

Like Christianity did you mean?

That said, I don’t disagree with the sentiment - the respect should come both ways and the imigrants should respect the native culture, but that also doesn’t mean they havento give up their own.

Local culture always changes in time. Take Europe, it’s culture steeped and deeply influenced by Christianity in many countries. And yet Christianity is a religion with Middle East origins. People just don’t look at the bigger picture - or don’t want to. The change in the past was not happening to them, but it is now and that’s what matters.

I’m sure fines are under “other expenses” in their financials…

Would love to see it though

In the grand scheme of things the pyramids were built relatively recently, but I’d still consider it quite long ago

I actually prefer to eat spaghetti this way instead of the sauce

They don’t relly know better. Windows is familiar, Linux sounds too complicated and techy. Hell, I was thinking the same and I’m reasonably tech savvy. It’s infinitely more friendly than I’d ever expect.

People are afraid of change and unknown. Though ironically Linux might actually be closer to the original Windows experience that Win11 is (speaking from my limited experience with Mint)

You are correct, but on the other hand it doesn’t hurt to make the average person aware of alternatives.

Can be especially effective when the person buys a new PC and needs to do all the stuff you mention anyway. Yes, it is still a new OS, but honestly, it’s not that different - especially if the person remembers older Windows versions, it might just feel like going to familiar places (I know this is something my wife would really apreciate as she hates the constant changes of how things look). Obviously depends on distro, only have experience with Mint.

I’m saying this from a position of a resonably tech savvy, but not your average tech nerd (at least knowledge wise lol). Sure there are differences under hood but I don’t think the average user would really notice them that much.

All I needed to read is the threat was told by Medvedev. The guy constantly spews crazy shit

Sleep wanker

If he hired him he would have to have infinite faith in his sharpshooter capabilities

They need to make it nice first, to reel people in. Once they are in and invested, that’s when ads start.

There are normal cheeses, there are lactose free cheeses and vegan cheeses as well. I think that’s all possible bases covered? Beside, cheese is delicious (I have yet to have a delicious vegan cheese but I’m told they exist - probably didn’t get here yet or too pricey for me - but that’s beside the point :D).

I vote cheese day, your logic is bullet proof.

Not for self defense (obviously) and due to personal reasons on hiatus currently (if all goes well I will start again next year) - but I do Historical European Martial Arts (HEMA).

It’s fencing, but mainly with longsword (tried sword&buckler and a bit of rapier), techniques recreated based on historical fencing books and manuals. Really fun!

I’m always pedantic, except when I’m not 😂

So you are not always pedantic. So you are not really pedantic if you said you are always but are not… unless you were pedantic about saying you are not always pedantic?

First gaming memory is Prehistoric - a platformer with a caveman dude, smacking dinosaurs with a club. Got to like third level once :D

Also remember this helicopter game I don’t know the name of but it ran on Windows 3.1 as oposed to DOS, which most games I played ran on.

Very inconvenient for a PC login. Also, you need a password you can remember for your password manager at least

So when people say “better” in this context, most likely they mean the general feel tha objective reasons inpacting day to day user experience.

The objectively better features are open source nature and the decentralization - but this may actually make user experience worse (meaning more complicated to understandandget into).

As for the “better feeling” aspect, it just feels more like Reddit used to be once upon a time. Everything is more natural. Reddit is a very mainstream and corporate place and you can feel it for at least few years now.
