That’s why I let them do it. If it would have harmed them seriously or someone else I would have stopped it. But still doesn’t make it less stupid. They put themselves in legit pain due to peer pressure.

If anything it served a good lesson so they might be less likely to succumb to peer pressure on things which may cause real harm in the future.

I used to have one as my primary work device for a few years. Honestly, it was surprisingly usable once you find online analogs for all typical things you do on a computer.

The biggest issue is you’d be using a free online service for some application, and then they start charging per month or the company goes under and you lose your work, so you have to keep finding new services and exporting your work to a common format that won’t disappear to a central file system like Drive diligently.

I used to be a teacher in the 2010s. I remember boys having this ghost pepper challenge they would do that would put them in literal tears.

I never stopped them. Some just have to learn through experience that being an idiot to impress your buds isn’t going to result in a good time for you.

When I was a kid schools didn’t have expensive electronics to destroy. But we sure drew a ton of penises in expensive textbooks.

The Affinity Suite is so worth it. Pay a single time and get all the apps on all major OSes instead of the stupid subscription bullshit Adobe tries to lock you into.

Even bigger question: why would you register on 4chan? Isn’t the whole point anonymity?

But why? If everything works on Windows why install a second OS? Just to avoid the AI? When you have to go back because something ultimately doesn’t work on Linux, you’re still going to be exposed to the filthy AI.

That’s fine but people here are trying to convince everyone that Linux is a 1 for 1 replacement of Windows or MacOS and as someone who has a lot of experience with Linux and uses it (and enjoys using it) for work/coding/development, that’s simply a lie.

Fuck off Russian shill.

“Self-host” is just a euphemism for “pirate” right? …Right?

I love it. I’m for AI now.

We just need to improve it so it says “Fuck you, do it yourself.”

I noticed Edge would only show me corporate/authority friendly results recently as well oddly cutting down the number of results I see to a very unnaturally short amount of results.

Deleting it and moving to DuckDuckGo which while the corporate friendly things were still at the top, it at least showed me some opposition results.

Is there an alternative to Google Drive that doesn’t lock me into using MS Office. I particularly need to ability to share and edit files online.
