I wonder if she’s the reason why I received a 1099 tax form from Uber earlier this year, even though I’ve never driven for them.

I was in the same boat. Windows 10 was buggy as shit when it first came out, and I thought it was ugly and void of personality (still do). That’s when I committed to using Linux full time and haven’t looked back.
Do you have any recommendations? I’m tired of Google begging me to turn on cloud storage for my photos every time I open the photos app.
Well going to .local/share/… Isn’t very Intuitive either. Try asking someone who’s new to find their Steam Directory.
There’s very few people that hear about Linux and then switch over the next day. It’s something that needs to fester in your head for a while. I didn’t start using Linux full time until like a decade after I tried it for the first time
Let’s use Tor Browser as an example since that’s one of the programs that typically gets installed with a tarball. Once you’ve downloaded and extracted the tarball, you’ll want to navigate to the extracted files. You can do this in the terminal using CD commands, but I think it’s easier and a little more intuitive to just use your file manager and navigate to the folder that way. Once you’re in the correct folder, you’ll want to right click on an empty space and select “open and terminal.” Now you’ll have a terminal open and it will already be in the correct directory. From here you’ll want to run the “start-tor-browser.desktop” script. To do this, simply type ./start-tor-browser.desktop and you’ll be able to follow along from there.
Running programs from a Tar image typically involves running a script. You just have to change the name of the script to match whatever they have in the directory. Auto complete is your friend here. You don’t have to actually type the entire name of the script, you only need to type the first few letters and then hit tab.
A tar file is similar to a ZIP file. The easiest way to uncompress them is by using your file manager and right clicking.
Problem is is that is that too many people insist on doing things the Windows way and they get frustrated because of it. For example, instead of going to the software center, they choose to download their programs from a website, even though that’s not how you’re supposed to do it most of the time. They’ll also spend hours trying to get Windows only programs to run, when there are alternatives available that work just as well.
I’ve seen a bunch of ads on Facebook where it’s a deepfake of either Elon or Mr Beast. Just goes to show that Meta doesn’t give a fuck and will let anything through if you pay them.
The sounds your computer would make if it was connecting to dialup Internet, or the sound you would hear if someone was using said dialup and you picked up the phone.
PC speakers and how they differed from regular speakers, or the fact that you needed a sound card if you wanted sound that wasn’t just beeps.
Every time I see that “this incident will be reported” message, I picture some poor schmuck in a cubicle getting pulled into the boss’s office and interrogated for two hours about why they tried to run a command as sudo.
Another settlement needs her help.
Imagine spending 15,000 dollars to not have a dishwasher. That kitchen is trash even if you don’t account for the color scheme. I don’t even see a way to plug in appliances.
I don’t think I’ve ever used Ubuntu for more than a month. I just don’t like the way it looks, how locked down everything is, and how hard it is to customize.
I think Mr Burns had some pretty good ideas.
How do you pronounce gin? How do you pronounce giraffe?
If you’re asking how to do something, and most of the responses are “why would you want to do that?” It means you can’t do it.
Plasma has gone from being one of the worst DEs (slow, buggy, kind of ugly) to being the absolute best in a really short amount of time.
Plasma just has killer features that other desktops just don’t have, like KDE connect and the encrypted vaults. Sure you can get those things on other desktops, but they’re not built in and they’re nowhere near as seamless. Plus KDE apps in general are just better.
I used to enjoy listening to him on YouTube simply because he didn’t yell in his videos like every other YouTuber. He had a bit of a Bob Ross vibe to him, but then he went off the deep end.
