Not really a tourist but…

Netherlands, Ireland, and denmark on par for restaurants and bar pricing. Good sourcing is ubiquitously higher quality. Norway expensive restaurants and bars. In general US has better small/micro-breweries.

In EU, women don’t seem as wary of being alone in public or in the presence of masc presenting people. People seem to care less how others present themselves(they’re not offended by eccentric styles). I feel safer in general. America has a bunch of creeps who care that your shirt is pink or your hair is too long for a good Christian.

Healthcare exists. That’s $3k-$10k+ you don’t have to worry about every year.

Public transit exists. Like good public transit. The best systems in the US are garbage in comparison with the exception maybe of NYC. Though US public transit tends to be cheaper.

Can’t speak for Mediterranean or eastern Europe.

They do this with all their sites ime.

You can get it at WinCo if you’re in the west.

Have you ever smelled some foam and had that give you a headache? Do you know that chemically smell?

If so, it tastes whole mouth like that but very concentrated.

There are also chunks but at the same time there is not discernable difference in texture or consistency. Just vague border regions that register montarily as the broad side of your tongue cuts through them like a razor.

Avoid at all costs. Bought one can for the novelty of feeling the same way. It is so much worse than you’re imagining.

Covid was a time when many people had their eyes opened to big tech not having good intentions. I wouldn’t be surprised if covid did make a difference. It was a free option and people often had extra time on their hands to tinker. Lots of people changed jobs after as well. None of those mean there would have been a spike necessarily, but may contribute to an increase in adoption rate.

Honestly convincing the public that privatization is a functional solution to any problem is one of the biggest achievements of right wing propaganda and political action of the 20th/21st century.

Nationalized services do not need a profit motive.

I wish we could slap it through our heads that socialized systems are OK to be lossy. They are paid for through taxation. They do not need to profit off the consumer. Privatization reverses this. It defunds them and moves the cost to the consumper, implementing a profit motive.

There are few simpler concepts.

Maybe an analysis on why these “wolutions” aren’t already occuring and an idea on moving towards them would be more helpful. 4 of 5 are top-down ideas with zero political motivation for those with authority.

Yeah, you would imagine that an author could recognize that advertisers are on X because of its popularity. So #4 would require this.

You could have a decent thought here if it weren’t for his response to BLM movement, trying to call in the national guard to crowd control with live ammo, the border and war crimes, as well his assault on the court system and attack on reproductive/women’s rights. That among many other things no one remembers. The sheer volume of trauma he’s generated in the world easily negates any sympathy in my mind.

As a human he deserves medical and psychological treatment like anyone else as that’s a human right imo. One which he’s happy to ignore for others. By no means would i ever feel a shred of sympathy for the fleshpile.

Complex PTSD needs to be in the DSM…

I started getting the odd server side injected ads. Refreshing the page usually works to skip it.

NewPipe is bae

Well without them you end up with highly skilled populous fascists instead of mediocre ones. So what we have too much of already. I’d rather have new ideas with an underskilled attempt to accomplish them than the status quo expertly shifting the overton window to the right. Some instability can be good when the alternative is a set of dynasties focused on their own benefit at the express detriment of others.

I’ve never noticed any delay after first discovery. But i only use 3 devices so 🤷

Were already seeing a drop in product quality and reliability. Just try a search engine for practically anything. Chances are you already type “wiki” or “reddit” or “Lemmy” or whatever along with your search terms. AI(LLM) is just advanced cargo cult development. It won’t translate to physical design even though that’s being pushed by management level and marketing. Products will stop being useful altogether.

That’s on top of the tailoring to business and wealthy class as others have argued here. But even that will have to endure enshitification. Ultimately the wealthy will pay for labor on their toys(they already do, we just can’t afford those).

This us a marketing and executive delusion issue.

Cheers, doubling down on the question threw a flag XD

Why are you so concerned? No im not the founder, just one of the first employees they hired of the few we have. FWIW I’m under no obligation written or implied to approach this device as anything other than a personal pc on which i also conduct work.

LMAO I’m 1/3 of the company. If IT has a problem with it I’ll just just go scream at a mirror.

Not worth it in terms of budget. Both sides will be using cpu rather comparably. Linux side will def be using more gpu. I also can’t justify purchasing two computers with the company. The hardware is kind of a bonus from them and my personal budget needs to go elsewhere but I’m free to use/modify the computer for personal use as long as i continue to deliver on work. The company is (very) small enough i can get this kind of benefit every very long ince in a while😁

I think the consensus in this thread is that my issue was centered around using a partitioned drive for both instead of separate drives which is my current plan. If things still get whacky I’ll try stronger approaches.

My history is specifically windows attacking linux/bootloader so i’m not concerned I’ll be risking any work stuff as long as they aren’t futzing with each other’s storage.

I also have full control over windows group policies (admin in general) so i can really change it to my liking and minimize windows damage from the software side. There’s lots of software solutions for issues around storage use.

Furthermore, my old pc is going to be a home sync server so it will handle shared data to avoid the need to fish through the opposed drive.
