More like past 20 or 30 years…

It really mixes music and podcasts in the same queue? That’s psychotic

ẞased

yeah that’s not entirely wrong sadly

The only shaming I’ve seen in this thread so far is of the parents who made that decision, and rightly so. People like the guy you replied to are perpetuating the issue by being so nonchalant about it.

It may have started that way, but nowadays it’s normalized to the point where it’s something most people just automatically do. Any harm to the person undergoing this is waved away and rationalized as “it will hurt for just a second and they won’t remember it anyway”.

After my brother-in-law had his boy, he proudly announced they were taking him to be circumcized. Taken aback, I asked him why - he’s one of the most non-religious people I’ve ever known. I was just met by an empty stare, as if I were the weird one for asking. Sadly, at this point it might be more popular than the essential vaccines which are supposed to be administered at birth.

The squinch

It sounds like you’d have to go out of your way to get that info though. Which is a tad pathetic, no?

S-mode is cancer. An insult to intelligence and digital sovereignty. So is Windows in general, but I still can’t believe they got away with S-mode.

I once encountered a user whose laptop had been in s-mode for 2 whole years. I suggested that they should disable S-mode, and that would allow them to do what they were trying to do much more easily, and without installing random 3rd-party malware from the Windows store. They declined, citing safety concerns. This was a person with an advanced degree, and certainly old enough to know better. Some people should just avoid computers altogether.

Fyi you can join a network and go up to the point of Microsoft login, then use start ms-cxh:localonly to force local account creation

This is odd because just yesterday I used it to reluctantly install Win11 as a quarantined VM for my lovely but stubbornly insistent wife. It was a tiny11 iso, though, so maybe it gets added back during image creation?

And if you still get prompted for an MS account, hit shift+F10 again and run start ms-cxh:localonly

BUT I NEED THE LATEST PHOTOSHOP and MS WORD! ! IT’S NON-NEGIOTABLE /s

It’s not hard to change the underlying distro while preserving look and feel. You could switch her over to Debian stable + gnome and I doubt she would even notice

Amtrak is not bad at all for short trips. For a longer journey, forget about it. Try looking at travel from Boston to anywhere south of DC.

But that’s… hacking!

This link should be required on every single post on this subject

It’s still bad for the environment, you’re essentially bisecting it. Animals can cross the road, but mycelial networks (which underpin pretty much everything in the forest) often can’t. A ribbon of asphalt divides entire networks, isolating and perhaps even killing them, which leads to collapses in other areas. It also impacts drainage and encourages runoff.

This can be mitigated by using wood chips as a road surface instead of pavement. There are experimental mycelium-based road surfaces in development as well.

The holy Grail obviously is a flat, hard surface more similar to asphalt but without those issues, as I know wood chips and other rough surfaces can be both annoying to ride on and preclude certain vehicles/tires (i.e. road bikes) from riding on them at all.
