The Amount of Ads you see won’t change, just their relevance to you.

Right. Just make a super super good compatibility layer so whatever you have next will be compatible and give up on Windows proper. They can call it Windows 360.

Honestly, it seems like it would be easier to contribute Dev time to WINE and just start all over with a new incompatible version of Windows.

Theres a whole alien race, The Ferengi, that are obsessed with something called latinum and getting as much as possible because it can’t be replicated. Other than that, it has no other useful purpose. You could replicate anything you want for free or you could get some latinum and go to a Ferengi bar and pay someone else to replicate it for you.

So basically yeah, Ferengi are also post-scarcity but since they are the capitalist caricatures of the show, they have random substance xyz so they can still have a reason for rich and poor to exist.

I think we should do a letter writing campaign. It worked for TOS.

Dont tell anyone I told ypu about this…

If you like fedora as a base, you can install the Gnome version of fedora and install the Pop Shell. It has autotiling that you can turn on and off while you get used to it if you want. Its what I run on Nobara and it works perfectly fine for me.

Id say quite a few Twilight Zone episodes had endings that were better than the mystery. But of course, there were just as many episodes where the opposite was true.

TOS always, the others it depends.

Indeed they are, but every single site wants my email and birthday before I can view content now. I don’t knock them for trying to make money from ads but I don’t need them selling my email address on the side too.

Maybe not that much more complicated, but it does give a less experienced user a lot more opportunities to make a mistake that could result in data loss or just a computer that suddenly decides not to boot Linux anymore since a Windows update broke grub.

From a Star Trek perspective, when they have to eject the (warp) core they are also in for a pretty bad time.

The most important thing to do is backup your data to an external drive. Unless you are planning on dual booting (much more complicated) you will be wiping out the entire drive that has windows on it when you install Linux.

This guide goes through the whole installation process.

Hopefully more Justin and Tawny than Alex.

So does writing down a card number or writing a check or even the dreaded IOU. Double also, if things break like they did on Friday, ways to get cash(ATM, tellers at a bank) will also be impacted as well as the things that you might spend cash on (gas pumps, cash registers etc).

I dont think that cashless needs to exist and having paper currency is useful in a lot of cases but in 2024 the idea that cash is the solution to much of anything is a little silly.

My conspiracy theory is that hes sitting on a mountain of Hillbilly Elegy DVDs and this is his plan to finally sell them all.

But yeah, he believes in whatever is making him money at any given point because hes simply 10 pounds of slime in a 5 pound sack.

This is such a tragedy. And magnetic tape from that era may or may not hold up long enough before someone finally gets around to having them digitized.

Can, yes.

Should, maybe.

Enjoy doing, unlikely.

And for sure your home isp has all the email ports blocked upstream.

With all that being said, to call SMTP dead is wildly insane. I do figure it will die someday though. Probably around the same time of universal IPV6 adoption during the year of the linux desktop.

This is more like triple bolting the door but leaving a window open. There’s nothing inherently wrong with the door, its still secure but you can bypass the secure option with a less secure method.

You also get additional protection because rather than each website holding onto a hashed (hopefully) copy of the user passwords that can be stolen in bulk, stealing the public keys for a passkey from a site wouldn’t compromise the account. Someone would have to get access to your physical device or hack your password manager individually to get access to your passkey.

And and, the magic for most people is no more passwords and 2 factor stuff to deal with. The standard is still new, and in the cases where you want to use physical keys, its always best to keep 2 in case one gets smushed or goes through the washer. Some sites that have passkeys enabled only let you have 1 passkey. So in that case its kind of risky to make a passkey the only way to sign in.
