I ditched FreeBSD and Slackware when I got tired of installing everything from scratch on every major release. Compiling stuff from source was interesting for learning and seeing how amazing open source can be, but it wasn't fun long term.

Then I ditched Ubuntu because there was always something not working on laptops, usually related to hibernation/sleep and/or webcam/wireless. I was frustrated with how little care was put into making sure such basic things would simply work.

I'm currently very satisfied with Mint. Everything just works out of the box and Mint X is a lovely theme for old folks like me, who appreciate a proper good looking desktop and can't understand what all the hype is with dark/flat themed UIs these days.

But the way people use the web has evolved

Er... nope.

I hope justice is served.

Which of these commercial platforms did not ever plot for that?

Cute.

From the description it feels like you're not exiting full screen mode within the game before switching to other applications. Try the same key combination you use to enter full screen mode again, before switching.

Any similarity to Apple is purely coincidental.

"Your papers! You're Patterson!"

What's "cave into"?

How's that better? Honestly curious.

I think there are two sides to this. Yes, online aggression has probably peaked in recent years with the rise of worldwide pro far-right misinformation campaigns, no argument there. They were specifically targeted at the people more vulnerable to buy into hate speech propaganda.

On the other hand, I have personally noticed more constructive discussions, even after I deleted most of my anti-social media accounts and substantialy decreased my usage of Internet forums in general. It seems there's some positive trend in the middle of all that.

Windows XP's UI philosophy was great: one could always find what they needed within a two-clicks distance. Everything just went downhill after that. If they ever fix Windows, it will probably look a lot like XP again.

You do realize that makes it even more disappointing, right? I mean, trying to understand what Brexit was after voting for it? My goodness.

That's not how it works. Ubuntu adds layers of hardware support and software tweaks on top of its Debian base. Same goes for Mint on top of Ubuntu.

Rainbow is definitely in a league of their own. Coming just a half generation after the holy trinity of rock (Purple, Sabbath and Zeppelin) set the cornerstones of heavy rock, I've always pictured them as a natural evolution, a supergroup. Their debut album is a real gem. And "Rising" truly raised the bar to strat-ospheric levels. "Long Live" is an excellent, mature, even if a farewell album and completes the trilogy just nicely. R.I.P. Dio and Cozy. Long live Blackmore.
