Its worth noting that piped.kavin.rocks is getting hammered right now, but it seems to be the most reliable instance going at the moment

almost zero chance of consumer grade windows requiring a subscription

And even if they did, fully hacked local install versions would be created… adobe photoshop is subscription only and I see full installs for it all over the place (and I might even have one myself but Im admitting to nothing)

meh debian is great as a server but needs a lot of work out of the box to be used as a desktop. Better off with mint if you want a great out of the box experience

cant use the web version?

We would need large companies and developers to start making their applications for linux and right now thats very hard because linux has 2500 different package managers and no one wants to maintain version of their apps for even the top 5 linux packaging methods, so unless that changes they will continue to make windows/mac only apps

it may actually come now if this happens

Also Canadian here, our insane conservatives would do the exact same thing if we give them power… I suspect we are soon to find out

The GOP is just fucking crazy and a danger to this country

They are simply a terrorist group at this point, and by extension so are the GOP voters who support all this

He literally cant since he has to appear at a lot of these upcoming court cases.

Thats their plan obviously, stochastic terrorism all the way. Its like they are saying … “Look at this insane MAGA nuts, we’ve given you an opening!!!”

Yeah its pretty disturbing that they are even floating this idea, and its all to appease the insane conspiracy freaks

Ya I doubt that one too… if it was 25% there would be a lot more people in prison.

This is a generation of soft pussies. Triggered little removed who can’t live in the real worl

So… like trump supporters who cant handle the fact they lost an election you mean?

I think it also depends highly on the circumstances, if your child did something very very bad (hit bother with a hammer say) then youd actually be derelict in your duties as a parent not to yell at them (and ground them, etc) in that situation. Going too soft on them when they really go off the rails can be just as bad or worse than being too hard on them.

It might be a preview of whats coming though, MS would conceivably at some point move to a cloud based OS completely at some point

but only if he pays them using venmo… and they are 14

Tooth cancer?

Regardless, he’ll drag it out till well after he has died of old age. The american legal system literally cannot touch anyone with money or power… see Matt Gatez for many many examples.

Even if they do get a settlement, I doubt trump will ever have to pay most of it, just like we dont see Alex Jones paying any of the billion dollars he owes people either. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/03/18/us/politics/alex-jones-bankruptcy.html

Apple is a LOT worse than Microsoft these days
