I switched to Chrome probably a decade ago, because at the time it was significantly faster. I switched to chromium at some point and ended up back on Firefox when Google’s password manager stopped working on every browser except Chrome. Firefox is noticeably faster these days and doesn’t crash as often.

David Bowie and Muppets don’t really mean anything to me, and I can rarely tolerate a musical.

just press the system button plus the assigned letter and I’m in the app I want.

Oh, that would be excellent. You could even set them to be the same on desktop for equivalent applications.

I think one of the Linux phones has a physical keyboard. That’ll likely be my choice if I can afford it when my current one stops being viable.

There are only 2 software keyboards I’ve found where I didn’t have to look at the screen as I typed. 8-Pen which took forever to type anything on and Minuum which hasn’t updated in years, but you can pry from my cold dead hands.

I never used a BlackBerry, but I miss the slide out keyboard my first couple smartphones had.

I’m pretty sure they were being sarcastic. I’ve definitely heard of the movie. I just haven’t seen it (and won’t since it’s apparently a musical).

Since everyone in the comments seems to know, what’s this a reference to?

And he’s incapable of creating anything. And he has zero charisma.

You may want to try Arch in a vm before daily driving it. It’s an excellent distro, but vanilla Arch is a far cry from SteamOS.

I just installed Mint to an external SSD this weekend to try and get my grandma to try it out. I really don’t want her scared into thinking she needs to go out and waste a few hundred on a new laptop.

Hm…could be useful for those times you want to read a guide but can only find one in video form

Oh, it’s a game now? Back when I dabbled with it (early 2000s) it was a simulator as the name says. Flightgear is an open source simulator that, according to pilots, feels more realistic.

Is there any reason to choose MSFS over Flightgear other than simply being unaware of the latter’s existence?

I actually had to look it up as I couldn’t remember why I made the first switch. PolyMC was forked from MultiMC after they dropped third-party modpack support. Then there was some drama with one of the devs of PolyMC, spawning Prism Launcher

Sounds like mobile to me

The human turned the code in. They deserve 100% of the blame.

Not to mention changing BIOS settings to allow booting from external media. I’ve yet to see 2 machines that were the same in that regard, so good luck writing instructions that a casual user could follow.

I’m friends with a family who had one of those until maybe about 10 years ago when it stopped working.

“Asshole” became “idiot”.

IIRC “fuck” was skipped over entirely.

Some movies were unwatchable.

Fuck TCL. I had one for around a year before the backlights stopped working. Maybe it was an outlier, but I’ll not be buying another.

Didn’t Facebook have something similar for a while? I’d bet it was only implemented because of Google Plus, and I’m pretty sure they scrapped it after the G+ sunset, but I’m almost certain it existed.

That sounds like par for the course in the US but the kind of thing that the EU would have a law against.
