Goes on to write an article with a bunch of issues that very few people will actually have. It’s like he’s deliberately gone out of his way to write a karma whoring post on Reddit.

Wow…never seen such an ignorance of modern American history. Are you forgetting all the “interventions” the US did since the end of WW2, especially in South America where despite the supposed “war on drugs” the CIA teamed up with drug cartels, arming them, funding them, even allowing them to smuggle drugs into the USA to fund rebel fighters to overthrow governments? How it massively increased it’s prison population and then allowed them to be used as slave labour by corporations, actively got minorities hooked on drugs, used it’s own National Guard to kill protesting university students at Kent State?

Linux Mint isn’t a bleeding edge distro like Arch, CachyOS and other current flavours of the month which means it’s more mature which make it both more stable and less likely to randomly come across issues that can cause it to break quite badly. It also has decently put together things like an “app store”. There is also a massive online community for support. For someone coming from Windows with no Linux experience it makes it easier to get to grips with and less likely something bad will happen that would put them off.

Are Americans really this stupid and brainwashed into thinking this is OK?

“I keep telling her that she arrived at one of the worst moments in recent American history.”

The whole thing around tipping in restaurants and bars has been a thing for decades in America.

You suck for living in a nation that allows employers to use tips to make up a half decent wage.

Nokia and Blackberry anyone? Or how about any of the massive social networks that have been and gone? The downfall of a product or a company used by tens of millions of people is usually caused from within.

Here in Europe people who work in bars and restaurants get paid at least the minimum wage. They don’t get paid just a few pounds or Euros an hour with the employer making it up from tips. In fact that’s actually illegal to do throughout the EU and UK.

Except they’re not. Here in the UK semi-trucks run at 97,000lb and we’re also moving to SUVs and Ford Trucks like Raptor are also starting to make yet pedestrian casualty rates aren’t going up.

Just switched from Pixel 8 Pro to iPhone. Looking like that was a good decision even though iOS is a shitshow to use in comparison.

We come from nations where staff get paid at least the minimum wage and don’t rely on tips to make it up to that.

Plenty of cheap RAM for older laptops on the used market.

Exactly that because drives were getting cheaper over time so it saved Samsung money to refund at the going market rate and at worst case it would be just a few dollars more. When they penned that they never envisaged the shitshow we have going on today when the price of storage and RAM has 4x’d or more.

Once again for the stupid…IT IS OPTIONAL. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO PUT ANYTHING IN THERE NOR DOES ANYTHING YOU PUT IN ANY OF THOSE FIELDS HAVE TO BE THE TRUTH.

Funny how they can work that out when it comes to their citizens who are ill needing fast treatment but POTUS and Hegseth are too stupid to work out that’s the same reason they have Ramstein in Germany as part of their NATO deployment.

I mean I don’t know how this wasn’t expected given that the vast majority of products he designed at Apple were rectangles with a glass front and metal/glass back.

Does he not want them to tell them the truth?

It’s turned out to be a typical American military shitshow. Because the US Navy is scared about being attacked by the missiles and boats Trump announced they’d 100% destroyed in the beginning of March they’re actually not operating in the Strait of Hormuz but in the Gulf of Oman and Indian Ocean which is a massive area far too big to remotely effectively police with the number of vessels the USN has.

Add in GPS location spoofing the ships have been doing and it’s like trying to find a needle in a haystack.

“I’m going to punish those nations by making Americans pay more tax.” And then finding that the tariffs didn’t work because America doesn’t actually make those products or if they do they’re so inferior that people would rather pay the much higher price for imported goods.

That’s because the US Navy isn’t actually in the Strait of Hormuz where it could actually manage a blockade with the amount of ships it has but is instead doing the blockade in the Gulf of Oman and the Indian Ocean which is a massive area. It’s not operating in the Strait or the Persian Gulf for fear of being attacked by the Iranian missiles and boats that Trump said he’d 100% destroyed.
