Honestly I’ve daily-driven Fedora, Mint, and Ubuntu and I can’t say I saw a fraction of the problems that you did.

I will say that I struggled with PopOS – despite claiming to be the most Nvidia and gaming friendly distro, it gave me endless trouble with the Nvidia graphics in my gaming laptop. Mint and Ubuntu, though, never had a whiff of trouble. I’m on Ubuntu now with no complaints.

The odd details have me thinking this is AI slop

Small steps are how engineering gets done. It’s a rare technology that proves its value overnight.

Bean chili is a perfectly legitimate chili. FIGHT ME!

I’d call it chili. Eggs cooked in the sauce is what makes it shakshuka.

Well, Steve Hoffstetter is a professional comedian, and his FB posts are to drum up interest in his live shows.

I use FB quite a bit, but then I don’t engage with it for news. It really is just for keeping in touch with friends.

Anybody can do whatever they want with their Teslas. But, Musk isn’t even a majority shareholder. Far from it, he owns 13% of the company.

Teslas were (and are) breakthrough electric vehicles that have set a high standard for the industry, thanks to the work of many, many thousands of talented engineers and workers. Most of them are not Elon Musk.

I never thought I’d watch conservatives applaud Russia rebuilding the Iron Curtain.

But, here we are.

For real, go to a library and ask a librarian for help.

They’ll have various books aimed at different levels of maturity and reading levels. Get a book, read it yourself, then ask him to read it and talk about what you learned.

Oops

The jokes really aren’t that subtle.

oh my sweet summer child

Google Maps right now:

Well. He’s gotten better.

I think he really struggled understanding that he was seen as a leader, and that people were modelling his behavior because he was setting the standard. Once he realized that, his criticisms became more… measured.

Absolutely.

I wasn’t particularly frustrated or stressed, it just really didn’t play well with my Nvidia hardware.

I hate to say it, but the only solution to bullying (and it’s not much of a solution) is to escalate the issue to administrators and parents. Over and over and over again, until the administration realizes that allowing these kids to be near each other is exposing the school to risk.

Sounds like the friend is absolutely “negging” your sister, trying to convince her that she’s defective and can’t expect better treatment.

Of course, you can explain this dynamic to your sister – that her friend is trying to build herself up by convincing your sister that she’s terrible. But sadly many people subjected to such behavior internalize it and are unable to fight it.

Well, I guess I just thought that with a PC vendor keeping it up for their own hardware, I assumed it would be more robustly supported.
