I mean, are there any cars available in the US for just $20k? I’m pretty sure a base Mazda 3 was more than that when we bought ours five years ago (before the pandemic, and ours is a higher trim model). I don’t think they’re making the really small cars any more (like the Toyota Yaris).

Short version, I’m skeptical of this price point for even a small pickup. Great if they can do it.

You actually can nearly do that. Facebook inexplicably showed me how a few weeks ago. If a friend reshares something, you’ll see it, but it removes all groups, etc. It was stunning how little content actually comes from friends.

On the Facebook site (I’m sure it can be done via app, too, but I didn’t look), click on the menu near the top right, then click Feeds (under Social). Then click on Friends on the left.

What I’m hearing is we should have tossed his ass in jail before any trials.

The fuck? I interview people frequently. The thank-you email is nice, but definitely not required. I’d never write someone off because they didn’t send me a thank-you email. Geez.

I’ve been using it on my server for 6 or 8 years, and on my desktop and laptop for maybe a year. I’m not sure when I switched.

I like the stability, I generally don’t need bleeding edge software. And as someone else mentioned, it’s one of the packages distributors always offer.

Same here - daily driving Linux at home for at least 25 years now. I’m not a gamer, but for all the things I do, Linux has worked perfectly fine.

Ah but who wrote the comic? Checkmate, machine.

I started using Slackware in the late 90s - say 1998. I used it for most of my desktop applications pretty much right away.

I don’t game much so that wasn’t an issue for me.

It was definitely harder to configure. I recompiled so many kernels and told myself the speed boost from getting exactly what I needed and nothing else was impressive. It wasn’t.

I dunno. It wasn’t as polished as it is now, and was harder to configure, but it was still very good, and once you got it configured, it kept working, unlike the more popular os of the day.
