Something I really envy is the EU controls on food. Much of what passes for food here in the US is heavily processed, GMO, misleadingly labeled, etc.

Your very long comment reveals that you understand the analogy but would rather complain about it than address it. Russia invaded Ukraine and is killing it’s people, correct? Digging deep into the geopolitical history to find some kind of reason is very much like apologizing for this murderer. It’s not an academic pursuit or a fun problem to study, it’s “I’ve got tanks and disposable people, I’m taking your land”.


When the schoolyard bully is on top of you, punching you in the face, it feels inappropriate to contemplate his bad childhood.


He (or you) ascribes alot of nuance and careful consideration to someone who has demonstrated nothing but malice and avarice. Putin clearly cares nothing for both the people of Ukraine and his own people. Why are we trying so hard to be understanding to a murderous dictator?


Seems to ignore the reason why Putin wants a non-NATO neighbor, namely so he can invade and control it.
What about “automod”? What if there’s no response?


Lemmy mods respond to messages?


I did this same move two years ago. Make a list of critical must have functions. Get a second storage drive like your current one, swap out the old and install Kubuntu. Get those critical apps installed and tested. Create a virtual machine out of your old primary drive. Boot that inside Linux when needed.
This worked on me, I just became a contributor
Great! My cousin and his daughter came over to watch my team win a spot in the national championship.


Your move Congress
10+ years on Reddit and I could not stand what the API changes were going to do, on top of totally hating the experience without an app.
None of my friends were even on Reddit so no problem with them not being on Lemmy ಠ_ಠ
Lemmy feels alot like Reddit in 2012 so I’m hopeful.
I get you with the windows 7 thing but how big is this company? There’s a point where “corporate best practices” don’t make sense because there are fewer employees. Maybe negotiate with the boss for one or two of the top things on your list and push the rest until next year.
Also, no matter where you are you’ll probably end up frustrated with management not giving you what you need.
+1 Zyban (just a different name) helped me quit smoking years ago and then helped me quit vaping.
I have Kubuntu running on an Intel Yoga from 2022. I’ve never been able to get the fingerprint reader or the keyboard backlight to work but otherwise everything else works great


Trump brought nothing but fear
Linux didn’t exist when I was in college but I did work on it’s predecessor Minix in Op Systems class in '89


There are some situations that you just can’t “spin” your way out of
Shower. I do it while the conditioner is “working”.
