At least Thunderbird configs are stored in ~/.config/.mozilla/thunderbird. Right? Right…?

If my laptop suspends (?), the graphics get scrambled. Like, I shut the lid, come back a few hours later, and it’s a completely garbled mess. Happens with Wayland; doesn’t happen with X11.

I love Linux, but I don’t think that Linux users should promote it like it’s a free Windows, because it isn’t. You should learn Linux because you want to learn Linux, not because you hate Windows.

Frankly, I didn’t go 100% Linux right away. I dual-booted for several years first.

Fun fact: until very recently most of the computer hardware was made in communist China. I know, scary.

China hasn’t been communist in a long time.

Try reading slower. Look up words you don’t understand with a dictionary.

You’re misinformed. It’s okay to admit when you’re wrong.

All the Firefox forks are pretty much dead as well.

Firedragon and LibreWolf seem to be pretty healthy. I’ve been using LW daily for over a year and FD daily for 1-2 years before that.

What do you mean by “actually work in the real world”? I can go on GitHub right now and fork a project within 5 minutes. So can you. It works.

Trademark. Not copyright. And the part that is covered is Mickey.

This could also be covered under copyright, since the only Mickey that went into public domain is the one from Steamboat Willie, not this one. I’m not a lawyer, though.

I’m going to post this thread anytime I get some random screaming about how Linux is soooo much easier than Windows.

What a ridiculous straw man. I don’t think I’ve ever heard anybody promote Linux but claiming that it’s easier than Windows.

This bullshit is the number 1 detractor of adoption.

That’s a trend I’ve noticed from Linux critics: they had some bad experience due to a use case that they didn’t feel was properly catered to, and because they had a bad experience, that’s the reason why more people aren’t choosing Linux.

I’ve never used mouse gestures. I’m willing to bet most users don’t. People aren’t picking up Linux and going “Aaarrrgghhh! This sucks, because I can’t program my mouse gestures!” This sounds like a power user feature. Catering to power users so that they don’t badmouth you online is not a good UX design strategy.

Meanwhile the vast majority of users couldn’t care less, and just want to play games, browse the web, and chat with friends, all of which is completely functional in Wayland and has been for a while.

The last couple of times I tried Wayland, it broke my desktop so badly that I couldn’t even use it.

Granted, that was “a while” ago, so my experience might be better now, but it’s made me very wary of it.

It’s still illegal. This version of Mickey Mouse is still covered under trademark law.

What’s funny is that Disney built their empire largely on public-domain works (such as fairy tales), but when it’s their turn to give back, they fight it tooth and nail. Classic getting to the top and then pulling up the ladder behind you.

It’s traditional to play lots of video games. Trust me on this one.

30s?

They set him on fire when he died, too.

Vaaaa-der roasting on an open fire…

My brain immediately started singing “Where are the plows? There ought to be plows”.

Except that “draw 25” isn’t a metaphor, it’s just using a different meaning of the word “draw”.

Try being Asian-but-not-Chinese in China or even Singapore.

Or being Korean in Japan… The funny thing is that anthropologists believe that the (non-indigeonous) Japanese actually descended from Koreans.

One word: ergonomics.

With Dvorak, the most commonly-used letters are on the home row. In fact, all of the vowels are on the home row.

The most common letter in English is E, and QWERTY makes you reach for it. You know what IS on the home row? Fuckin’ semicolon! Can you even remember the last time you used a semicolon?

I spend a lot of time at work sitting, so I’d rather have a comfortable chair than an uncomfortable chair. Same with my keyboard: I’d rather have a comfortable layout than an uncomfortable one. Less risk of repetitive strain injury, too.
