every time i’ve heard a decider state the reason why they won’t embrace linux, it’s always because they don’t believe that linux is capable at handling the same scale that microsoft can and that’s despite the fact that significantly larger institutions realy on linux.
the excuse feels rehearsed since it’s always the same.
the oligarchy in control of the US empire.
it’s wild that the best case scenario for isreal is south africa and even that seems unlikely.
privacy.
apple has proven time and time again that they’ll cave to the american government at any an all oppurtunities while doing theater to pretend to protect its users.
and yet, so many leaders of the world capitulate to him.
There is no way this is real, I simply refuse to believe it.
this maga’s mantra.
american history book creators have proved that they’re really good at hiding shameful facts like these; only intellectuals, historains, and tankies will be onlyl ones aware that this happened in the future.
anyone who tries gets arrested (at best) or raped/killed (at worst) and both of our governments will not allow you to vote for anything besides more barbarism.
it’s following in the same footsteps as the united states, canada, australia, and new zealand did to their native americans, first nations, aboriginals, and moari.
look at how well it worked in those countries: the people who are currently benefiting from these same monstrous institutions that the isrealis are implementing honestly believe that they’re the good guys.
i was going to recommend this; a couple that loves doing something together is bound to be much more rewarding than the cost of one of these machines.
sometimes, i wish i didn’t know so that could live blissfully in ignorance.
i didn’t know that jmp.chat was a thing!
THANK YOU!!!
i appreciate your attempt to help, but i really meant the word quagmired.
porting the google number requires a phone plan w carrier; but i only use prepaid accounts between multiple carriers that change roughly every 6 to 12 months or so, depending on the price and whether or not they’ll support the unlock phones that i buy online. also: my current carrier will not accept a google voice number per their technical support people.
and those companies rely on some sort of multi factor authentication and my experiences with forwarding teaches me that the forwarding doesn’t always go through in a timely enough manner.
that seems to spell doom for linux as it’s share is larger according to this report.
i’m quagmired in more ways than just the OS with things like: i need to figure out how to move paid subscriptions based on my gmail address to organizations/companies that refuse to let me change the email address on my account or that everyone that i’ve ever known for the last 20 years knows me by google voice phone number.
that makes sense with my data, however i bought the pixel and either helped them make a profit with a new one or helped increase the resale value with a used one.
china is non-interventionist; they won’t get involved like they didn’t with gaza and venezuela.
as a mac & linux user since 2002 and i had a time machine to do it all over again but correctly this time; i would go with a linux first vendor like system76 or tuxedo or any other vendor that uses 100% open source hard/software. (ie coreboot/libreboot).
linux can work on almost all hardware (including mac) but you’re mileage is going to vary a lot and only the linux first vendors can give you an experience that rivals mac and windows.
