I’d go to full day festivals for $30. Seriously. One year, I went to ozzfest and it was free! That year they dubbed it “freefest”. This isn’t even that long ago, I’m talking 15-20 years ago I was able to do this.

I agree. However there are some gems. Got one good piece of advice from https://lemmy.world/u/BombOmOm and now I’m on the Linux train (at least on one laptop anyway).
The best way I’ve heard it explained is that excel is too good at doing too many, but it isn’t the correct tool for many of those things. Since it’s good and accessible, people make it work and then you get this jumbled mess of stuff after time passes.
I do like the control aspect. I also really enjoy how clean it feels compared to windows.
If it works well (and I mean very well), I will consider doing the same on my main machine. The one the family uses. Maybe just set it up so I boot both windows and Linux… Either way. Very happy with the results so far.
Back to this comment to report that I took the dive. I have a second laptop that wasn’t getting used so I wiped it and installed Linux mint. Love it so far and no issues with any of the basics. Took me all of 1 hr to get up and running.
Maybe. I use Settings for quick things like Bluetooth pairing, changing monitor settings, etc. I do use Control Panel a decent amount and would never want it deprecated though.
Dark Souls 1 and it was Chaos Witch Quelaag. I don’t know how many times she killed me, but it has to have been over 20. I got destroyed over and over again.
Interesting. I had no idea, thanks for the in depth explanation. So in this case it probably played no or very little role. Things are just often more murky than we make them seem when commenting online is more the general idea I was trying to convey.
How could you know this so definitively?
Yes. Apparently a single senator from the above users comment.
Not like I understand Australian politics but one senator could be an influence.
It’s noteworthy that it doesn’t appear black canceled the tour just out of nowhere. I think they were getting pressure from the government based on what I’ve read.
Coffee beans are seeds from a fruit.
I have as well. I won’t pretend I’m always right - I’ve thought some ideas that worked out incredibly were horrible. Also had the situation you describe happen. It’s okay when you’re working with reasonable people. Show them the slide deck, the email, the analysis, whatever… “Look you didn’t approve this”. "Here is an alternative ". That can work.
Just telling folks “I told you so” isn’t usually a great form of communication.
Internally people probably talked about how there were huge issues. Others probably said those issues are over stated and it’s no big deal. They decided to release it and the press says there are issues. Then, the company decides there are issues. That simple.
Good to know and thanks for the tip. This was back when I did more on a personal computer, but I remember spending hours just trying to get software to work. Again, this isn’t something I need to worry about today, but getting Octave (free version of Matlab) to work on Linux was a nightmare.
This feels like me. But I read somewhere that even if I am on windows 11 ,my current laptop won’t have this feature. So I think I’m okay for now. Maybe my next one will be Linux.
I’ve used Linux before and I kind of hated it. It was fine for me when I had time to fuck around with every setting and go into rabbit holes. But I don’t know if it’ll work on a family device. I have 1 laptop in the house and myself, my wife, and kid all use it. Other than that, all devices are just tablets or phones.
We use the laptop for browsing, casting, document editing, and that’s about it I think. So since it’s that simple, I would hope Linux would “just work”. But we’ll see on my next device.
A Tolkien based active community would be great. Reddit had/has a few that were fairly active. There are communities here but really not active at all.
Also wish the NBA community was more active - quite frankly surprised it’s not.
It must have been all that. I’m sure I bought something while there. It was only done one year so maybe they didn’t make enough money.
