the turd-for-brains never said where he’d lower grocery prices.

the ‘veni’ usually comes last, tho.

they all do, if each square is considered separately.

eggs have been pretty stable here the last several months, but they’re still over triple the ‘pre pandemic’ price.

there’s no place like Nyamyochu Sha

i have only ever had basic phones, dating back to my first nokia ~ 25 years ago. i don’t have the need or desire to have an android or iphone. one time. just once, ever–i enabled cellular data on my phone so i could look something up–the current weather forecast (in the kai weather ‘app’) because it started to look like i might get stranded out in a bad storm and i forgot to check the forecast before i left.

always forget that there’s a big ad spot on the home page.

i helped someone set up theirs a little while back… i’m like, “oh, so that’s what’s supposed to be there…”; followed by a “i can help you get rid of those if you want…”

it’s similar. in a mainstream distribution with a desktop environment, updates can typically be configured to notify you or install automatically. it’s common for those updates to now also include third-party sources like flathub.

upgrades (to a next point release or major version) are different, some can be fairly straightforward–others, not so much. and those upgrades will be more frequent, as the “lifecycle” for most linux distributions is shorter than windows’ 10 years.

it’s not ‘ai’, it’s just a poorly trained voice recognition system that’s trying to decipher any random person’s voice. voice rec has a difficult-enough time when trained on a single person in a professional setting (lawyer, doctor, etc)–which is work we used to do here. it’s going to absolutely fail in a ‘drive thru’ environment.

openoffice is an apache project, created when oracle gave them the code and rights to the openoffice project. ibm later donated symphony to them. anyone familiar with apache knows they do things their own way, and usually slowly.

libreoffice originated from a fork when openoffice’s status under oracle was in doubt. it progresses faster than apache, as most developers also switched.

onlyoffice is an entirely different application. decent enough, but with its own quirks. it can also be slow on lower-spec systems due to the heavy reliance on js. originally a latvian-russian project, it was reorganized (via new corporate entities in uk and sg) to hide the russian ties for ‘reasons’.

on the linked page, i get a giant header image and headline, followed by the article text (which accounts for just 15% of the vertical space on my 16:10 screen).

when i scroll as you have, there’s no elements glued to the top getting in the way.

(ubo and um both enabled)

sounds like a ‘service problem’ someone once spoke about…

acquire your ms office ‘elsewhere’ and never link it to a ms account. same with windows. no msa, no ‘cloud’ to save to.

and there is a service problem here.

the new libreoffice won’t run on your vista.

and we’re moving… we’re moving… we’re moving…

this way, gentlemen.

next, we’re off to the royal bathroom where the king-to-be stores his most precious of national secrets. replicas will be available for purchase.

a limp leaf of lettuce would be in a ‘position of strength’ over the cheater-in-chief.

video chatting with a screen visible to the driver? fk no. also his setup and use of it violates cvc 27602.

there’s probably a commission system built-in to pay the value of a month’s rent or something to the ‘agent’ when you sign a lease. which means, of course, they’re financially motivated to steer you to better paying properties (for them), not better units or locations for you.

dumping this one that specifically limited exposure to the trash bits of windows and instead launch a new variant for gaming handhelds that, while ‘optimized’ and limited in the crud that runs, will most definitely be focused on driving gamers to game pass subs and store sales.

i only recently moved my main home pc from 8.1. there’s configs and software on it that would be difficult or impossible to recreate on a new install or pc. i even have a spare identical mb and cpu in case it’s needed. 1st gen. mechanical disks (several, sata ssd wasn’t that much of an improvement with the old controller for everyday use so i opted to keep the higher capacity) 32gb ram and pascal gpu. i skipped all the way to a rufus’d 11 and it’s actually running well (with all the crud ripped out, though). it dual boots with endless on a loop device. the upgrade didn’t even mess that up.

updates. the constant barrage of updates. the cpu, ram, and disk time needed just to ‘check’ for updates is horrible (it used to be a lot worse, too). and if you are still on an old-school mechanical hdd, those ‘cumulative’ updates are absolutely brutal every month with win10 or 11.

last week i booted-up a silverblue that hasn’t been run in a couple months. 8gb, mechanical disk, not a speed demon either–3rd or 4th gen. i didn’t even notice the updates were coming in until the notification popped up saying they were done.
