BTW, told my kids about your comment on my abuse of the "..." and they choked laughing for like half an hour. So there is that hehehehe

Google promised to be carbon free by 2030.... Just as other have done and never even moved an inch towards that goal

The point is exactly to get gullible people like you to think it's all good until 2030 when some responsible people will battle to out that Google did nothing in reality to get there... Then they'll promise it again for 2050

Hmm I hope this is not a veiled threat of suicide.... Because the disappearance of ownership is almost here

Isn't this the general sad state of democracy? Specially in America and it's 2 party system?

Rarely people get to vote for whom they want, they vote against the one they dislike/fear the most

Republicans have a shitty pre-election plan in the run up to every election.

This understatement is right up there with the 'Tis but a scratch scene from Monty Python

Yes agreed... I was trying to point out that just not paying is a dick move

Or put the money in escrow pending resolution of the embargo ... This is, I think, the easiest, most responsible solution to show good faith

I'm going to try to take this in the spirit that it was provided, but you're using a lot of "..."s,

No ill will intended. You must be young and I'm old, my kids constantly complain about my abuse of the "..." They say I always sound ominous

The only part my intention was to sound like "well, yes that's obvious" was the part where you missed some windows specific GPU functions

For the rest I was meaning to say that I recognize those problems but didnt find them insurmountable at the time I had to face them.

I still have to deal with windows today because of work and I find the amount of orphan issues (or issues with no solution 3 years after reporting) saddening because I rarely see that in the Linux community

True, I may be "over the hump" in terms of the initial learning curve but I encourage you to keep at it, you'll find it enjoyable in no time

It's mandated? How come? Sorry I'm out of the loop

I’m not having a great time with DisplayLink driver support, personally

We used this for work and I had a bit of a hard time setting up 4 years ago when covid hit... I eventually was able to but later on moved on to a different set up.

We still use it on Windows when I go to the office (once a week) and it still shit there

If you post specifics I may be able to help you.

Various applications I use with mixed levels of support too, along with missing out on Windows specific GPU features.

well yes... Windows specific stuff is not usually available in Linux... unless we are talking about gaming which is catching up really quick

The biggest difficulty is that my accumulated support knowledge of like 20 years is useless and I am relearning basic issue identification and resolution processes.

Yes, it's a different OS... not sure if you were expecting any differently but this is the power of the walled gardens... you learn to live in them and then find it hard to do anything differently... IMO the transition was worth it for me... I hope it is for you

The internet being a raging dumpster fire, support is kind of patchy on more niche topics. All the good, useful discussions are largely happening behind closed doors at this point on everyone’s Discords and whatnot.

This is what I disagree with... that has not been my experience AT ALL. The worst I can say about online support for Linux is that, some communities, are a little caustic (looking at you Arch support, although you do have great online help posted).

If anything, when I can't seem to find anything regarding something I am looking for, I have defaulted to realizing I may not be asking the right question... RARELY discussions for Linux support happen behind closed doors... it's just not even in the spirit of the Linux communities. Again, if you'd like to post specifics maybe we can help

You may have misunderstood my point... All I'm saying it's stupid to compare species based on the attributes of one.

They will stay on Wets and complete at slower speeds.... Then switch to slicks when a race is a possible so it does not run into a parade of the dry patch

IMO the inters are actually more dangerous because they permit more speed on the dry patch, but all it takes is stepping a few inches into the wetter area to go out flying.

And maybe I misinterpreted the "risk the slicks" part... I checked the original vid and they actually said something like only switch to slicks after the stewards give the go ahead, this will create a bit of a rush to switch to slicks ASAP or decide whether to stay out on wets a little longer (I think that approach is actually safer)
