Windows 11 runs worse, has built in ai bloatware, and has ads everywhere (not to mention the tracking/data scraping associated with Microsoft products)

This switch will also be an opportunity for me to finally get serious about my data security/privacy
I'll only be using Tor and Firefox from now on

I'm finally switching to linux (mint to be specific). I've been a windows user all of my life so I know there are going to be some growing pains, but I feel ready to make the switch.

There is no compatibility/technical error that could make Linux Mint a worse option than Windows 11

Me: Hey photoshop can I edit some photos

Photoshop: WHOOOOO DISTURRRBS MY SLUMBE- [application not responding]

saw this clip of the NYC mayor debate and i had tears in my eyes, perhaps the most insane section of any debate ever

look

This was what filled my nightmares before I started watching Doctor Who.

As a kid in early elementary school, I was too scared to complete Dodongo's cavern, and just didn't go any farther in the game.

I ended up just watching my brothers play the game.

Jane Goodall was actually the only one keeping the apes in control. Now there's a power vacuum

I just wanted to use a wallpaper, but it's sadly (yet expectedly) horribly artifacted, and needs to be through Photoshop

I hate JPEGs with a burning passion. They have been the bane of my existence for as long as I've been working with images. They are pure EVIL.

I should really be posting more,and scrolling (on reddit) less

I am not a fan of the fact most Americans seem to believe in magic and will fall for copypastas that not even the dumbest /b/ user would fall for

this is a perfect example of how so much activity is artificial online today. fake accounts intentionally posting content they scrapped from the internet to fill in social media to get a crumb of ad revenue from

I like how we all just stopped giving a shit about morals that we are now justifying raping a minor. Really healthy place for a country to be in.

Especially since the next two decades after it came out, would have multiple pieces of media that successfully pulled off that premise (Supernatural, Torchwood, Agents of Sheild, Persona 4 (ig), and Gotham to name a few)

it sucks this run got cancelled so early, I think it's premise (a procedural focused on investigating incidents which lie beyond mundane world) could have been very successful it had been given more time to cook. After issue 9 I felt they would really be able to deliver "The DC Universe's X-files"

YouTube video by Rick Astley Rick Astley - Never Gonna Give You Up (Official Music Video)

Wow: after 15 years, YouTube has taken down the original 'Rick Roll' video due to a "licensing issue," likely due to the acquisition of Astley's record lable.

The metadata remains, but if you click through it goes to 'video not found':

The cover for the EP 'gay' by the band 12 RODS. the image is comprised of a high exposure, washed out, close up shot of curly hair. The band's name in bold black letters is positioned towards the center, with the word gay in a dark pink followed with a question mark (also in a dark pink), both directly under the band's name and shifted rightwards relative to it.

This is the cover for the album Split Personalities by the band 12RODS. The cover is organized as such. The band's name in large, bold, dark blue lettering sits in the top left corner with a barcode to the right of it. Under it is the album's name in smaller, bold, black lettering is the album's name. Under the album's name is a gray line which goes from end to end (left and right) of the cover, with only a bit of space between it's ends and the edge of the cover. Under that line sits the track list in Times New Roman font, with the track number preceding each name. All of what has been mentioned only sits in the upper 2/6ths of the cover. The bottom 4/6ths are dominated by an Xray of a guitar. The Xray being inverted to have blue on a white backdrop (rather than on a black back drop), a white backdrop also being present under all elements of the cover. Lastly there is a gray outline surrounding the cover, with the outline being square in shape with rounded edges.

I've just fallen in love with the band 12 RODS.

I found them via the song 'I wish you were a girl'

So far I've listened to the EP 'Gay?' & the album 'Split Personalities' but I have a feeling this will be the next band I listen to everyday.

There sound is a mix of 90s emo, altrock, and shoegaze.

"The Nintendo 64 has bad controls!" ... Does it actually?

One of the most repeated "facts" about the N64 is how bad its games control, how weird the controller is, and how shooters must rely on auto-aim to even be playable.

I think we can see here that's not really the case.
