I think that this is just the reality. Linux is not Windows, and each has their issues. I run an Arch based distro so that I can get new changes as soon as is reasonable without needing to go to user repositories, but some things still lag behind Windows because there is no corporate motivation ($) to build those features for Linux.

I’ve changed my workflow and mindset about what I need to do and how to get there in Linux. This involves making tradeoffs when Linux can’t do things the same way, or at all. I think this is a common experience.

My earbuds’ firmware can only be updated with a Windows app. My tax software only works in Windows. I have to use a Windows VM for those.

There are online games I can’t play with friends. I use FreeCAD instead of Autodesk stuff, I made sure that I can use the slicer for my 3D printer in Linux before buying it, and so on.

Realistically, I can’t be the change that I want to see, so I live with it. For me, it’s still worth it.

The comments on that video made me wonder what the astroturf was going on, then I saw what channel posted the video.

I learned a lot from watching the original Japanese Iron Chef. You’re not learning recipes of any sort. What I learned were techniques and that it’s okay to experiment and be creative in the kitchen. For day to day meals, it works pretty well when trying to come up with meal ideas based on what’s on sale at the grocery store. If I want to try making something specific, that’s when I search for recipes.

I don’t have thoughts one way or the other. It’s an interesting post, there’s a good chance it’s fake. I can’t say I care all that much. There are certainly people with kids who would move their parent into a home and take control of the money from selling their house, so it’s not completely out of the realm of possibility.

He looks pretty capable just going by these pics. Why spend money putting him in a home? Throwing money away. Fuck his kids, I guess.

As usual, the fines are not anywhere near proportional to the value received. As long as you have money you can do whatever the fuck you want.

Also mildly infuriating. Self serve works great until it doesn’t.
