  • my laptop is a 2016 laptop and it’s literally falling apart. I know there’s just one. It’s held up with duct tape and hope. Literally. I duct tape it so pieces don’t fall out. I checked multiple times. I would use a external drive but only one USB is working and that’s for keyboard and mouse as the keyboard on it is broken. Also no battery because it was very fluffy. Why the case is duct tape. It kinda broke it. Lol.

    FYI I am a American so I’m incredibly poor. I have other computers but there even older and worse then that one. Great for servers though




  • Pissed off on windows 11. Couldn’t change things I needed or wanted. Didn’t allow for basic shit. Kept on giving me ads and other fucking annoying things. Broke a lot slow and pathetic. Wanted a fucking proper start menu back again the place I been using it for last 30 fucking years. Updates took forever and ever and often broke everything and have to reinstall. Can’t disable auto update ad settings kept resetting each update.

    I just wanted a simple computer that just worked. Turned on and just worked every time. Nothing changes without me changing them. Simple and intuitive.

    I tried windows again as a duel boot. It wiped broke my Linux partition because micro crap hates people. Never ever going back unless it’s a dedicated machine for the 2 games I rarely play that work slightly better on Windows.

    Rather never play games or use the Internet then switch back to windows.

    EDIT : got me so mad my Grammer and spelling went out the window. Lol







  • Ads are manipulative and predatory, if you don’t have a good extensive ad block on all your devices, you will fall for them even if you think you ignoring them, they are made and designed for you to get stuff subconsciously not knowing you are doing this. What really bothers me is how it actually can fuck up elderly and disabled people, had a ex who’s parents actually bought things without realizing it because a ad played and they didn’t know they was being coerced of emulated, they bought so so much things they didn’t need with the Little money they had.

    I will always provide help to people around me on how to block as much ads as possible on there machines, however possible. Fuck the corporations.



  • Man pages are for people who already know a lot about Linux and understand all the nuances and understanding of Linux

    Even after using Linux for many many years I still don’t understand wtf nearly all man pages mean. It’s like a fucking codex. It needs to be simplified but not to the extreme where it doesn’t give you information you need to understand it.

    Tbh that’s most of Linux, not designed for average people, designed by Linux users who think that all others should know everything about Linux.
