  • You paid me, a long-time Linux user, to use Windows 11 exclusively for a month: here’s how it went

  • Goes on to write an article with a bunch of issues that very few people will actually have. It's like he's deliberately gone out of his way to write a karma whoring post on Reddit.

  • Americans' pride in US history and democracy drops, and fewer are proud to be American, polls find

    Jump

  • Wow....never seen such an ignorance of modern American history. Are you forgetting all the "interventions" the US did since the end of WW2, especially in South America where despite the supposed "war on drugs" the CIA teamed up with drug cartels, arming them, funding them, even allowing them to smuggle drugs into the USA to fund rebel fighters to overthrow governments? How it massively increased it's prison population and then allowed them to be used as slave labour by corporations, actively got minorities hooked on drugs, used it's own National Guard to kill protesting university students at Kent State?

  • My journey on switching to linux mint as a windows 10 user. First ever fediverse post.

    Jump

  • Linux Mint isn't a bleeding edge distro like Arch, CachyOS and other current flavours of the month which means it's more mature which make it both more stable and less likely to randomly come across issues that can cause it to break quite badly. It also has decently put together things like an "app store". There is also a massive online community for support. For someone coming from Windows with no Linux experience it makes it easier to get to grips with and less likely something bad will happen that would put them off.

  • This town received a £96mn post-Brexit makeover. It voted Reform anyway

    Jump

  • They can't afford to move to those places. My 3 bed house in a rural market town that is worth £150k would be worth three times what it is elsewhere where there's more industry and jobs.

  • World Cup fans frustrated by 'confusing and expensive' tipping in US

  • Are Americans really this stupid and brainwashed into thinking this is OK?

  • "I keep telling her that she arrived at one of the worst moments in recent American history."

    The whole thing around tipping in restaurants and bars has been a thing for decades in America.

  • You suck for living in a nation that allows employers to use tips to make up a half decent wage.

  • Locked

    Pay your employees a living wage

    Jump

  • Here in Europe people who work in bars and restaurants get paid at least the minimum wage. They don't get paid just a few pounds or Euros an hour with the employer making it up from tips. In fact that's actually illegal to do throughout the EU and UK.

  • 75% More Pedestrians Have Been Killed Since 2009. Giant Trucks and SUVs Are Why

    Jump

  • Except they're not. Here in the UK semi-trucks run at 97,000lb and we're also moving to SUVs and Ford Trucks like Raptor are also starting to make yet pedestrian casualty rates aren't going up.

  • Google preps Pixel ‘Audio Memory’ that ambiently tracks your ‘important conversations,’ like AI notetaker pins

    Jump

  • Just switched from Pixel 8 Pro to iPhone. Looking like that was a good decision even though iOS is a shitshow to use in comparison.

  • World Cup tourists aren’t leaving tips — and restaurants are fighting back

    Jump

  • We come from nations where staff get paid at least the minimum wage and don't rely on tips to make it up to that.

  • Brexit has been an economic failure | LSE British Politics

    Jump

  • Has it? Let's remind everyone what we were told in the months running up to the 2016 Referendum would happen by the then Chancellor of the Exchequer just following a vote to leave:

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-eu-referendum-36355564

    Leaving the European Union would tip the UK into a year-long recession, with up to 820,000 jobs lost within two years, Chancellor George Osborne says.

    In the best scenario where we agree a bi-lateral trade deal: sterling would fall by 12%, unemployment would rise by 520,000, average wages would fall by 2.8% and house prices would be hit by 10%.

    In a worst case scenario: after two years GDP would be 6% lower, up to 820,000 jobs could go, take-home pay would fall by 4%, house prices would fall by 18% and the pound would be 15% lower.

    A recession never happened. We ended up with record employment, record growth, unemployment so low we effectively had full employment, house prices continued to grow, inflation stayed below the Bank of England's target.

  • Louis Rossmann is suing Samsung after firm offers $330 refund for defective SSD while selling the drives on Amazon for $949 — spat over 4TB 990 Pro SSD is headed to court

    Jump

  • Exactly that because drives were getting cheaper over time so it saved Samsung money to refund at the going market rate and at worst case it would be just a few dollars more. When they penned that they never envisaged the shitshow we have going on today when the price of storage and RAM has 4x'd or more.

  • Neutrality won't save you from Russia, Kallas tells Ireland

    Jump

  • No they're not in the thick of attempting it now. Putin is in the thick of attempting to rebuild the Soviet Empire and failing miserably now 5 years into his 3 day "special military operation".

  • Neutrality won't save you from Russia, Kallas tells Ireland

    Jump

  • United Kingdom actually. May I suggest you go look at a map of where all the undersea cables go?

  • Neutrality won't save you from Russia, Kallas tells Ireland

    Jump

  • It doesn't need to as Ireland has a defence pact with the United Kingdom. The UK protects both Ireland's airspace and waters due to how close it is to our own. Due to the size of Ireland it would never be able to field a military large enough to be of any use operating on it's own.

  • Systemd v261-rc1 is out with the 'birth date field'

  • Once again for the stupid.....IT IS OPTIONAL. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO PUT ANYTHING IN THERE NOR DOES ANYTHING YOU PUT IN ANY OF THOSE FIELDS HAVE TO BE THE TRUTH.

  • Republican bill urges "deadly force" to stop abortions in North Carolina

    Jump

  • So to defend the life of an unborn baby they're going to make it legal to kill the mother carrying it? What the actual fuck do they think would happen to the unborn baby in that scenario? Dumb beyond belief doesn't even come close to describing this and is a prime example why religion should be absolutely nowhere near law making.
