The crazy bit is how far north Europe is, relative to the climate we get. Almost everywhere else this far north is freezing

What did the primeagen do? Haven’t been keeping up with his stuff for a while. I remember he gave me American Christian conservative vibes but I’ve never heard him taking political stances (outside of the prevalent pro capitalism typical for the region)

Except for Alienware

This comment made me double check if I hadn’t accidentally opened Reddit

Indeed that was my intention. I just never thought that he wouldn’t be familiar with something so ubiquitous in today’s world, so I didn’t even think to ask. That’s why this situation is so infuriating to me, not so much that he didn’t know, but that my assumptions prevented me to resolve it

A friend of mine finally decided to heed my advice and try it out. He successfully installed fedora and was pleasantly surprised by the ‘clean’ design (of gnome). He then enabled his Bluetooth headphones and DMed me that they won’t connect. The BT menu wouldn’t show them.

Now, I wouldn’t call him stupid, so I committed a grave sin of troubleshooting when I decided to not offend his intelligence. We hopped on a call and started debugging. Looking at drivers, support for his hardware, logs for any errors… He didn’t have another device to connect through BT at the moment and I was out of ideas, so we called it a night and decided to try again tomorrow.

By the time we reconnected the next day, he had already reinstalled windows, but was suffering from the same issue.

And then it downed on me… “Did you pair your headphones?” I asked, afraid of the answer. He just blinked twice and the “what do you mean?” hit me so hard I couldn’t even laugh. “I’ve never had to do that before…”

Some painful explanations later, or an argument really, and his headphones were paired. But by that time he had had enough and didn’t want me to bother him about Linux again. Needless to say, pointing out it was his misunderstanding of the technology that ultimately led to this outcome didn’t really help.

This memory still injects fury in my veins as I fall asleep, right there with fumbling my words when speaking with my highschool crush…

ELI5 please, didn’t this just get voted down?

How daft can you get?? Pink is the first name, Floyd is the family name of the guy… Uncultured swine!

He was just asking, no need to be so rude… Someone censor this guy!

You silly goose, that’s obviously an iguana, you can tell by the pincers.

I remember commenting on one of your tenfinger posts that I’ll give it a go. Since then I’ve had crunch at work and decided this week I’m off to a sunny beach, sans laptop. I guess you could say that…

How is harmony better? Aren’t you just trading one vendor lock in for another?

The internet has become such an unpleasant place because I too constantly ask myself what’s the propaganda angle to almost everything I encounter… I miss when it was just a fun place to be
