Eh don’t love it but “first 24 months” implies ‘news accounts’ to me.

Win XP has a 64bit edition, it was just never the default.

Always wild to me how good that place is while being in an otherwise kind of random mountain tourist town.

I’ve seen it off and on in random Lemmy and Reddit talks, along with some of the usual “best xyz” article search results, that you take with a grain of salt. Though in these days where even Lemmy has its boting I take dang near everything with a bit of salt. Lucky me that I’m a bit of a salt fiend.

Emphasis on it being conversations for true blue noobs haven’t dabbled and may not be very technical. To your point Mint and Ubuntu are right there next to it. By way of comparison I actually use Cachy and it’s not “hard” but I would not give it to my parents.

Manipulating people. Pushing value and rhetoric “as a fellow American” when you’re a bot in Russia.

Ok, that explains the references. What’s up with the downvoting? I see the Nordic/Islandic connection, is artificial use of the character some kind of white supremacists viking dog whistle or something?

Makes sense for the reference s, thanks, what’s the subtext leading to the downvotes?

They actually come up relatively often in the true newby conversations. They put a big emphasis on making the OS feel like Windows by default to make people more comfortable as they look at switching.

Clearly something’s going on here, but I’m uninformed, would you mind doing an ELI5? I figure it all ties to the weird characters they used.

Ok, well now it really needs to be. By comparison at least. Would be more on-brand than a can of Vegemite. Petition to update!

I think this would be incrementally less ridiculous if they hadn’t, presumably, scaled the images causing them all to be the same size/height on the page.

There’s always a niche instance but my example gives it a valid, but disposable, connection to complete setup, it can totally ping that server there at the beginning and give the all clear. And then you turn off that disposable Wi-Fi signal.

We shouldn’t be forced to do these things, but connect it to a junk wifi signal setup using tethering or something and once setup is done, disable it.

Absolutely, but it does feel like things have spiked a bit recently.

Emperor has no cloths situation. No one wanted to criticize the godlike alien beings fashion sense to his face.

That’s not how fediverse decentration works. =P

Condolences, this made it to the public feed so there is going to be some people showing up without reading any rules.

I’m open to alternative thoughts here but I legitimately feel your emotion may be clouding your writing, because I’m honestly trying, but while I think I get the direction you are trying to take the conversation it’s not entirely coherent to me. For as much as you wrote it feels like a few incomplete thoughts strung together.

A lot of the uptick is probably at least “blamed” on the need for infrastructure upgrades. These “benefit everyone” even though they are caused by basically one client, so the price increase to cover the upgrades is applied to everyone.
