I am confused, my thought process went like this:

So it’s more expensive to own then rent?

Unless you own it and rent it out to others?

Nobody would be a landlord if a dwelling cost more to maintain then to rent out.

So something doesn’t add up.

Thank you for hosting the instance!

Wait, that almost makes him sound reasonable, please let him continue:

“I don’t have anything against fast food. I’m against food that has seed oils.”

Ok there is the crazy. Deep fried fast food with high sodium isnt good for you.

I disagree. Black Mesa is Black Mesa. It is no Half Life 1. The atmosphere in one is completely lost with Black Mesa. Start with Half Life and play to Alyx. Go back to Mesa for a second way to view 1.

The imgur link is down? That would be bizarre. Opens on my desktop and my phone…

The files are on the google drive in the cloud. I believe there is a package to sync them with local files if I HAD to have them local. Or I suppose a rclone or syncthing script could run locally to do the same thing.

Do you need to disconnect your laptop from the cloud and then sync them later? Is that what I am missing?

I am confused. Google drive has been on my computer for years. I don’t use it much, I don’t like storing things there. But Dolphin just mounts it and treats it like another drive. Maybe I am missing something? Like when you use a certain application it doesn’t see the google drive in the file dialog or something?

Here is a screen cap of the gdrive with folders in it: https://i.imgur.com/DjOc9xx.png

Hey, they finally got tabs for their file manager. It still is crap, but at least it is better.

Linux has been my main computer for 20+ years now. I do have to work with Windows desktops, windows servers, windows Azure services even, and I remote into them or deploy to them. But I don’t understand this big Windows 11 is SOOO bad. They are ALL bad. Windows 2000 was the last decent windows as far as I am concerned. WinXP pushed me to Linux full time. 10 is shit, 11 is shit. So it goes.

Your headline is about co-pilot. Do what you have had to do with ALL windows versions when there is something you do not want: never use a “home edition”, prefer an enterprise version, and then set a group policy.

Makes me wonder if Trump actually has someone in mind that wouldn’t have gotten approved unless he put someone so unlikely that the actual pick gets a pass.

I use Teams on linux on the desktop with no firefox. You might try that.

No, never was a serious post. But that user simply chastising all the one drive users was just as rude really.

No high horse. At least no higher than “I disable one drive, unlike those pleebs!”

Come on… I am not being terribly serious, but the logical thing is not disable One Drive, but avoid the bullshit all together if you are going down that road.

These types of posts just remind me how bad people are at using computers.

Ive used windows 11 since it came out.

As a Linux user for over two decades; oh the irony.

I couldn’t resist. Don’t take it too seriously, although windows 11’s DE mashup of Windows, KDE, Gnome, and Mac is sort of hilarious to see.

“its just one glass of wine” can be equally said with “its just a small bump of coke” or “its just half an oxy”

No, not really. Each person is different, set and setting are different, circumstances can be different.

In any case that silly graph you posted was made by:

“opinions and judgment of 15 researchers, doctors, and a journalist. These opinions were exchanged and discussed during a 1-day workshop” … “given that it has no input other than the experience and knowledge of the participants involved, it is unlikely to be unbiased”

Although to be fair, the group that made that study now is advocating ways to get medical cannabis and psychedelics to people, which is more or less in line with the graph I suppose.

And the huge shift right by male GenZ people. Reading posts by them specifically today: they felt marginalized by democrats and ignored. They felt like Maga cared about them, and they could belong in the Republican party. And some of them simply wanted revenge and to feel powerful.

Now this isn’t everyone, but I gotta say:

WTF are you doing thinking about feelings? And fitting in? Look at the damn effects your choice is going to make based on “feelings”. That group is going to lose consumer protection, worker protection and safety, medical coverage, relief on college tuition, housing subsidies, debt relief, small business loans. What they gain is higher prices, worse infrastructure, and possibly the nastiest thing of al:l the direct path of their income going to the wealthiest people and perpetuating generational wealth for the very few.

Because they wanted to “feel” like they were seen and heard as men. You got played!

I have been really impressed with Fedora’s handling of KDE. Updates are quick, system is solid and sanely configured.

This is good news. I have it on a laptop, and I am thinking about switching over on my desktop.

So how far are you going to move the goalposts in our conversation? This all started with “did they blame Biden for inflation”. Yes, yes they did. That was all we were talking about. You moved it to something else. He at least was doing something.

I have no love for democrats so stop with the abused significant other crap.

At least Kamala wanted to change the tax structure for the wealthiest, but that wasnt good enough.

By the way, in that chart, you claim Kellogs is a monopoly. But they are only one of the ten, so…

I am amused that the that the headline reads “These 10 companies control everything you buy”. Because I buy none of those products. But chances are the people we are talking about that ask why their cereal is so expensive do.

But here is where we probably agree: If Biden said “I am going to break up the top 10 companies to get competition (never mind that several are not US companies)” the investors, the banks, the newspapers that are ran by them, would all have articles and opinion pieces on how Biden is trying to be socialist and un-american. The people that didn’t like him before REALLY wont like him now.

I don’t think he would have, he knows where his political donations come from. We can all talk about how they really fucked up by not going far enough left. But to bring this back to the original conversation: even when he took some steps in the right direction, he never was going to get credit for it and their would always be something to complain about to make sure people didnt think about it too hard.

Except he did do something. Like we discussed previously. But nobody cares. If he had done price fixing they would have complained about that. But nobody wants to talk about how Trump put this all into motion in 2017 by signing the the tax bill.

And exactly what SHOULD be done if a company wants to charge $7 for their cereal? Perhaps if you didn’t want it to be $7 you wouldn’t buy it. But here we are, blame someone else for their lack of self control. Harris would have given money to a small business that wanted to make quality cereal at an affordable price to get it off the ground. But they wouldn’t go for that either.

Their is no solution to stupid. That is why she lost.

In the end the prices of food today are NOTHING compared to what they will be. We have droughts in all states but 2 right now. Tarrifs are going to limit imports so we are going to rely on local farms that are going to start really seeing the effects of climate change, that are only going to be made worse by poor environmental policy and increased carbon emissions. The stupid have spoken. They want to be told things will be fixed: when the only thing that will be fixed is an acceleration of money up. Like always. Kamala may not have fixed that, but at least she wasn’t going to put it on the fast track.

The question was if they blamed Biden. Nothing to do with Harris, but since you mention it, yeah that is really troubling for Harris supporters.

I agree Americans dont pay much attention. They also are bizarrely confused about who to blame. The president doesn’t set prices, companies do. There was a period of inflation put into place from Trumps tax policy in 2017 expiring to recovery acts during Covid. Prices went up. Why would a business lower them now? They are no longer going up at 7%, but the prices were coming back down.

So “Why are my kellog flakes $7 dollars when the store brand is $3”? Because people will pay for it?
