I don’t screw them in unless it’s in a confined location where the cable is applying pressure to unseat, or if it’s fallen off at least once

I’m guessing being able to turn it off and not change during an update is a business grade feature. I’m guessing at least windows 11 pro will come with a permanent off switch

To my knowledge, there isn’t. But you can ask the person to turn off recall. I’m going to be running 11 in a VM myself so /me shrugs

Modems can still make noise. As recently as five years ago I still had to work with modems. A lot of them now have silent mode though

You come from a nice family. My family disconnected each other all the time

I don’t believe that you don’t believe me

I don’t believe you

What? They didn’t sign the treaty. The treaty was between the PRC and the UK. HK didn’t sign….

HK has been politically part of PRC since, what, 97? It is not moving closer to China at this point. After Beijing installed a puppet, it became a definitive part of PRC. Hell, they are arresting news organizations. The UK held up their end of the deal, and PRC isn’t following through on theirs

I’m confused. You don’t know that the sun will rise tomorrow - you believe it will. Science is our best guess at how the universe around us works. Geocentric was how we believed the universe worked until that theory was proven to be wrong.

You know the current theory, and based on that knowledge you can believe it will rise. There could be some phenomenon that will turn the sun dark for 7 days that is not part of the current model. It’s unlikely, but possible.

Knowledge is the understanding of that which will not change. Yes, you can modify the theory tomorrow but it will not be the same theory as today. That’s why it’s knowable

I only joke about Arch being the superior distro because, well, I use it and because it’s apparently a thing.

I actually don’t have any strong feelings about Ubuntu. It’s a distro. It works. I only use Arch because of the AUR (I’m lazy, okay?). I don’t have strong feelings about it either. Linux is configurable to basically exactly what you want. Once (or if) you get into customization you just pick the distro that allows you to get to what you want faster.

I do have strong feelings about Windows though.

Gotta get out while the gettin is good. Otherwise, if you lose the copyright lawsuits… RIP

Alternatively there is weechat. I haven’t tried them back to back so I can’t tell you which one I like better

Uh oh, I think about Canada a lot.

I don’t think about Iraq. Should I?

18 ft fence: UBO like system where it stores patterns that to remove before comparing

Yeah… I get that you pay for ads, but ads should never masquerade themselves as legitimate content.

Ahahaha that’s great

Sealioning?

Remove hidden elements and children before diff. 16 ft fence.
