This is the nicest way someone’s put it. I’ve tried to switch to Linux three or four times but until there is a distro that makes it plug and play like Windows or mac its going to be a tough sell. I consider myself tech savvy enough (I can google things, and for goodness sake at the bare minimum I can cut and paste into the terminal) but the barrier for getting Linux to work is too high right now for a very large part of the population.

I have W10 computer running the arrs and my plex server that I’m going to have to figure out as I can’t get W11 on it.

I want to do it so bad!.. but I think I’ll probably just end up getting a new, used computer that can run W11

Same here!

Although I do love “Blame Brett”

They’ve been getting a lot of attention in Canada but “The Beaches” have been my jam lately

Popstar is a classic and underappreciated in my circles

25% of men’s hair will thin before 21

80% by 50

This is the craziest thing to me…

I live in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. I put my boots or shoes on at the door before I go out, and I take them off when I get home. If I get cold feet, I may put on slippers.

Inside the house, I’m bare foot or in socks. If I take the trash out and it’s nice, I go out barefoot. If it’s snowy or frigid cold (I’ll leave the Winnipeg weather up to you for a fun google) I put on my boots.

I don’t know anyone who wears shoes indoors unless they are elderly and need the support. It’s a sign of middle age / senior age living here.

I use this on my Chromecast. It’s far prettier than the monstrosity that is that Google Chromecast home screen

Harry Potter The Martian The Cosmere (all for Sanderson’s cosmere I’ve done a few times) The First Law Trilogy

One I will reread but just haven’t yet: Uprooted Codex Alera Legends and Lattes

I’m kinda over this conversation. I posted asking for input, not someone being argumentative. If you had a stronger argument, maybe I’d change my ways and look into what you’re saying. I politely tried to say I hear you, but I’m good with what I do and you keep digging. At no point have you said anything that makes a strong case, helpful to what I asked or isn’t dismissive. Have a good night

I imagine it must be nice living in a place where your government doesn’t care. Enjoy your free torrents. I’m ok with a few bucks here and there

I used to pay for a VPN and torrent everything but I’ll be honest, $ for $ it costs the same or less AND there is way more selection. I’m ok to pay a little for a better service. I don’t have to figure out what’s streaming on what and I get high quality tv and movies for pennies on the dollar. Even if I went the “free” route I still have to pay for a vpn

Oooo and there’s also the Cytonic series by Brandon Sanderson. Again, YA but really good (or at least up until book 3, I haven’t finished 4 yet)

Martian read by RC Bray is infinitely better than Wil Wheaton.

PHM is great

But I’m mostly commenting to give a nod to the Reckoners series. It’s a YA novel sure but it’s a super interesting concept

Plus, allowing it in accessibility options

Thanks! I needed to go back to the accessibility settings 👍🏻

You

Have made my day, most likely my week. Ads aside, I friggin HATE the Chromecast UI

Now, let’s pretend that I’m 5 yrs old. How do I get this to. Be the default launcher? I’ve already combed through the settings options and can’t seem to figure it out…

• Late Night with Seth Meyers
• Last Week Tonight With John Oliver
• The Daily Show

I usually watch monologue / opening segments and pass out during the boring guest interviews.

Teacher here… band teacher here. Where… you know, you don’t want food and shit getting in the instruments.

If a kid did this, I’d die. Way to go man, hand out some cashews. Sometimes you have to reward the commitment to the bit.

I always joke when kids are late ( holding food evidence that is why theyre late) that if they didn’t bring enough for everyone, then they’d better bring some for me. Well, egg on my face. One day a kid showed up with a shamrock shake for me. “welcome back” was all I could say 😂

TLA is “The Last Airbender” for me

Lego Harry Potter on Switch is what my wife and I did and she liked it. She is not a gamer.

Weirdly enough she also liked Mario Golf on switch.
