2 Kings 2:23-24: A story about what happens when you make fun of bald dudes

Great step for the Palestinians. If they can expel Hamas and institute a legitimate government, they could have a real shot at independence.
Unfortunately, there will be no real Palestinian state as long as Hamas maintains its influence.
Why does Linux need to be more popular? This isn’t some NRM with a proselytizing mandate. Use whichever OS you prefer and let others do the same.
This is an extremely sheltered view. Most people don’t even know what an operating system is, and they assume that it is an unalterable component of the computer they purchased at Best Buy. They don’t have a last straw because as far as they’re concerned there isn’t anything they can do about it other than perhaps switching to a Mac.
Yeah, Microsoft is always trying to monetize things that shouldn’t be monetized. Linux won’t necessarily be easier, but it definitely won’t force you to watch ads in your application menu.
No problems that a person with “minimal computer expertise” has are likely to require editing the registry, and if they struggle with the Settings app in Windows, they will be completely befuddled by the vast array of configuration files they will have to search through for making changes on Linux.
I have minimal computer expertise.
This is the source of your problem. Unless you learn more about computers and how to use them, you’re guaranteed to have more problems on Linux than you’ve had on Windows.
The majority of the Windows gripes this community complains about are unlikely to ever be encountered by people with minimal expertise. Windows is fantastic as a layperson’s operating system (and many Linux distros are, as well), so your problems are probably user-caused.
This might be cliche, but the For Dummy’s books by Wiley were how I started learning about both Windows and Linux when I was a teenager. In fact, they were how I learned that Linux existed and sparked a curiosity in IT that is culminating in my graduation with an IT degree in July.
Yeah, OP definitely played hard mode lol

Anyone who tells you that gaming on Linux isn’t somewhat experimental is lying. I think it’s getting there, though.
This kind of “checking that I’m still orthodox” post makes my skin crawl. Who is “we”?
Jacobin is a strongly biased source and unlikely to be trustworthy or accurate in it’s “reporting”.
For some reason, referring to a computer or VM that runs Linux as a “Linux box” triggers me.
Your work hasn’t upgraded to Windows 11 yet, I see.
It’s disappointing that the effects of discrimination against childless men are downplayed in the article, which focuses on discrimination against mothers.
You’re just discounting the entire portion of people who don’t want families.
No, I’m simply saying I don’t know any men like that personally. I know they exist, of course. It’s just that in my circle of influence I only know family-focused men. My whole point was that such men aren’t necessarily a rarity, but now I’m starting to think that was the point all along.
Nice to meet you, Mare. 🙂
I don’t know any men who would choose a career-focused woman over a family-focused one. I don’t think this is as much ESH as you make it out to be.
First of all, congrats on being able to sell a used UV-5R. They’re worth literally nothing used, so you must have some mad salesmanship skills.
But since you had to sell your 'Feng to make ends meet, you might want to just sit back a bit before getting back into the hobby. It can be done very inexpensively, but that’s relative, and someone who is hurting enough for an extra $5-10 to sell their Baofeng definitely can’t afford what it would take to get more active in amateur radio.
I know this probably isn’t what you were hoping to hear, but other than showing up to club meetings there isn’t much you can do that won’t cost more than the $20 to buy another UV-5R. Even homebrew projects like building antennas for your SDR will cost at least that much.
I think I might still have some of these laying around somewhere. Good times.
