If you’re capable of a language other than english, try the localized feddit.randomcountryTLD sites, like

Feddit.org (mostly german)

Feddit.nl (mostly dutch)

and so on. There are many of them and have just a little to nearly no american spam.

You know what? You’re absolutely right. “Went missing” is 100% the wrong term for this. It actually sounds too soft for what actually happened.

Damn, that means she was born in 1916. How has she perceived the failing of the Weimar Republic and the rising of the Nazis? Did she know any jews who “went missing” were deported after 1933? How did she survive the bombings?

Not trolling, I would just be genuinely curious. I’m german and I missed the chance to ask my grandpa (born 1925, died before I was interrested in stuff like that), who was in the Wehrmacht on the western front, about how he perceived this and the war itself.

Some former Person (Man) of the Year were Hitler, Stalin (two times), Nixon (two times), Kissinger, Chomeini, Bezos, Putin, Trump (now the second time) and Musk. Yeah.

Throwing errors? My dads Windows 8 machine does not throw any error. It’s just as slow as the continental drift. For years already he just keeps blaming his internet connection for that, which is obviously wrong because my Linux laptop works absolutly fine and responsive inside the same network. He doesn’t even think about it that his computer itself could be the problem. I suspect it is part of a botnet or some shit like that but he does not care what I say, so I don’t care about his online vulnerability. Because of all this I know that inconveniences do not necessarily convince a person to do something that’s needed to be done (use Linux or buy new device).

Many of the things you said are definitely right. But People who ACTUALLY need Windows for stuff like Photoshop or whatever would buy a new PC anyway. I think more of the casual “we always did it like that” kind of user. What do most of them need? Language localization, Firefox (or Chromium or for fucks sake even Edge), basic text editing and a basic PDF Viewer. For that kind of usage profile you definitely don’t have to force Windows 11 on your 12 year old PC. Any Linux can do that job like Windows would do, but without using scripts to force it on your machine and most likely with better performance too.

Well, that’s what I said. Old shitboxes and such. May be old, but would run like a charm with Linux. But is a shitbox because the installed OS (WIndows in this case) is completely obsolete.

People actually do this shit? Bruh. Why jump through hoops installing Windows 11 when installing Linux (the ones with graphical installer) is much easier and much less of a hassle? smh

Most people don’t give much thought to their operating system, but with Windows 10 support ending in October 2025, many will start searching for alternatives…

I predict most of them are going to waste a ton of money and buy a Window 11 device. Or waste a shit-ton of money and buy a Apple device. Or just say “fuck it” and keep Windows 10 (that’s what my mom will surely do. I stopped caring, as my dad still wants to use his even older Windows 8 shitbox and my mom 100% agrees to this).

Tall torso, short legs.

169 cm thanks to an unproportional leg-torso-ratio. If it would be proportional I would be more like 180 cm tall. I hate this so much.

I liked the good old times 5 minutes ago before I saw this abomination.

Can confirm, I like that flavour.

Cat be like: Don’t rub your ugly face on my precious fur! That’s disgusting!

Meanwhile Dog be like: You rub your face on me? NOICE!!! Prepare for a tongue-attack! Shlopshlopshlopshlopshlopshlopshlopshlopshlop

I have a Fairphone 4 with preinstalled /e/OS and I can say I really like it. I really don’t miss the Google Apps, but if you would need any you could install most of them. Lastly they had a major server fuckup (many Murena services were unavailable, like Update and Drive) but that’s solved mostly now.

Try toggling hardware acceleration in VLC settings. Had something similar with an older video.

The old PearOS(which looked like a meme-ish knockoff MacOS), UwUntu and Nyarch

Just visit the KZ Gedenkstätte Dachau and look at the disturbing pictures that are exhibited there. I was there for the first time back in 2005 (before AI based pictures) and there is A TON of pictures like these from Dachau. This is all real.

I used Enlightment for the last few years, but switched this year to XFCE because i like the look more. I’m using old-as-fuck-hardware and both DEs work good on my machines.
