It was the straw that broke the camels back to get me to switch to Linux.

That’s my answer too. I went a month with just trying to make basic things work. Had to go back to being productive. Now, I bought another drive and I spend time whenever I have it. Once everything works as i need it to, I’ll switch full time.

Omg… i wish I knew about this 2 weeks ago…

Also, scale matters. If 4 posts increased to 7, that’s a 75% increase I’m not concerned about. Now, 40,000 to 70,000 concerns me.

It’s not sad, there is a direct connection.

They are the top games because of the psychological manipulation being successful.

It already can.

There are some places where an inability to pay fines, can result in a warrant and imprisonment.

8% now. 20 years ago, it was a third of that. If there is profit to be made, profit will be made. It’s also just one small factor in an extremely shitty whole.

The fact prison labour exists at all is an issue. If prisoners truly benefited from it, like a fair wage plus every day reducing their sentence, then I could hold my nose, but as is. Slavery.

This is proof they don’t understand the endgame here. The only (legal) type of slavery left in the United States is prisoner labour. It is not a coincidence that the right wants to make so many things criminal. It’s also not a coincidence they want to keep poor people desperate because it makes them more likely to commit crime. It’s not a coincidence they support minimum sentences.

More crime, more free labour, more for profit prisons selling services…

Someone always beats me to the funniest response!

I switched to Tuxedo. It solved some weird stability issues I had, which were mostly monitor resolution and layout issues.

I’m new to the world of Linux as a main OS, and I ran Mint for a while, wanted to try KDE Plasma, installed and ran it on mint for a while and blew away mint for a distro with KDE Plasma once I knew it’s what I wanted.

To say I had jank is an understatement.

Elon Musk makes lots of claims…
