Well, I have opened commands prompts, but only because because they’re fast at doing stuff with files and I like that.
But I haven’t NEEDED to open them to fix or configure stuff.
Back in the early 00s that was pretty much par for three course.

For me the turning point was when a failed Windows forced upgrade ended up deleting me important files. I had backups, but I lost days of work because Microsoft felt so insecure in the face of piracy that they had to upgrade my computer despite me constantly telling them not to do so.
That was around 10 years ago. I went through various KDE distros; in the end I settled for Kubuntu.
The recent developments in KDE plasma are excellent. I haven’t had to open a command prompt in years. I hadn’t had a tech problem until this year when my tmp folder got full.
“Lesbian.” I don’t hate the word, but the fact that it is considered dirty. Why is “brunette” or “blonde” perfectly acceptable, but “lesbian” or “gay” aren’t?
Good riddance.
I’m trans and I like Sci Fi.
The same company that just proposed a spec to force you to use specific software to browse the web in order to prevent you from using ad blockers?
… yeah right, and I got a bridge NFT to sell you.
Remove the income of the top 1% of Americans from the equation and you’ll REALLY see how good the “economy” is.
Only if they pay for their own instance.
Congrats, Spez. You won the battle but lost the war.
I don’t mind, but I can’t answer either 😅
Let’s say it’s run by a Latin American oligarch family.
The year is 2020.
Covid was in full force, and we were suddenly assigned impossible tasks in very little time. Not to mention we hadn’t been given a raise in more than 2 years, not because the company finances were bad, but because the owner was a greedy bastard.
Then one person decided to quit. And another. And another.
What did the owner do? Raise salaries to keep the personnel? No, he let them leave and loaded all the work onto us.
I decided I wouldn’t be the one crushed by that load, so I was the next to leave. Bye bye.
Why doesn’t it surprise me that Elon didn’t give a shit about his neighbors?
CW: Trump, uspol
Trump separating families at the border. Children being put in cages. Americans waving the fucking nazi flag.
It’s one thing to read about genocide. Another thing is to see it with your own eyes, even on TV.
And if any of you fuckers tries to tell me that both “sides are the same” or that “democrats did the same” or something in that vein, they are obviously doing this in bad faith and they can go fuck themselves. 🖕🤬
