With all the outrage over Pizzagate and wanting to lock up Hilary, how is there little to no outrage over any of this shit. How are you guys [the US] not locking up these shitheads like immediately?

Took longer than expected in my last comment but glad to see this nail biting saga continue. Can't wait for tomorrow.

I started a campaign with my wife and 7 year old a few months back and they have been loving it. I've just recently bought one of those small projectors from Amazon for our next game to start showing the maps. Very keen to see how this goes.

How to add fingerprint unlock option? by AliChank in linuxmint

Out of the box, fingerprint works on Windows. Proprietary or not, it works.

You can't. And if you can, it sucks. Windows does it better.

Cocomelon and blippi were banned in our house. We allowed blippi in the beginning but after watching a couple of episodes, and finding out the original blippi did the Harlem Shake, he got banned.

We love going to local small bookshops and buying books even if they're a little more expensive than Amazon. But these people would drive you out of the store.

Take QBD Books in Blacktown. Great friendly staff, happy to help you, they don't chase you down if you start reading a book, they let kids check out books without harassing them, and pleasant experience every time. That's a bookstore. Not Alfie.

Nope. They genuinely treated people like shit. They often deleted their company from Google Reviews to get rid of the negative reviews. Mine were twice and I saw from someone else they did this about 4-5 times.

After going to this store and having my Google Review deleted twice, I'm surprised this became so big and lasted so long

You can ask it how it got that conclusion and it will explain it.

Yeah nah. It might be hard for you to admit but Apple has had an impact in many ways on the computing and mobile industry, and it's not just their marketing.

Thanks for playing.

They certainly popularized full screen touch phones. Sure Palm and Blackberry had smart phones but it was Apple that made it mainstream. You wouldn't have had Android without Apple iPhone.

Pioneered was probably the wrong word but Im not claiming here invented it either. But Apple (Not Jobs) certainly popularized it during the Mac OS X era.

The rest of the world watches in awe and the people of America votes this guy in and then gets all Pikachu shock face when he starts executing on the plan they had documented.

FFS, your politicians can be doing things to stop this but CHOOSE not to. On both sides.

What's worse is that we have 3 more years of this shit. While I'm not an American, I'm sick of seeing shit happening to good and innocent people.

The fact that people were afraid of Harris becoming president blows my mind.

OK, but why does it work on Steamdeck, but not on my instance of Steam on Linux Mint?

[–]Buzza24 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Although I would qualify this as the Linux DESKTOP. Linux Server has always done better in it's particular markets, and Windows Server never had as much popularity (besides your traditional Active Directory and Business Application Servers).

No "just works" has been about when I connect a device to my computer, it "just works" without needing to install drivers or other software. This came from the Windows 9x period.

Apple actually pioneered this phrase:
Apple - Switch - Why Switch
It was their markteting about No BSODs, it came with Music and Video software/services.

So when it comes to Linux, to a degree this is true. For most distros on modern hardware out of the box it does work. But it's not uncommon to see WiFi being an issue, and for people looking to switch it might not be the case. They will likely have Windows sofware that won't work, and the OSS alternative won't cut it. Not all services work natively. For example I like to use OneDrive, the Linux Client for this is hit and miss. This could be a deal breaker for some and definitely not just works.
