I will check this out!

The system seems quite a bit quicker than it was in Windows - though in all honesty this will also be because I’m still on a fairly fresh install.

I don’t think your Linux install is likely to slow down the way Win does.

The little icon jumping next to your cursor when opening a program (I know, I’m easily amused).

I consider Win unique as an OS that doesn’t provide feedback when something is happening in the background. It’s infuriating.

The lingering feeling of instability.

You’ve spent decades on the other system and when you started, you were too young to feel anxiety about it. You’ll get used to it.

The capslock works differently, apparently. I’m used to writing every capital letter using the capslock key, meaning if I write a capital at the beginning of a word, I press capslock, then type the first letter, then quickly press capslock again and type the rest.

I don’t understand why you don’t use the Shift key. I’m not trying to be an ass; why not use Shift?

I say all of this as a Mac guy who uses Linux for servers and such. I don’t daily-drive Linux as a desktop platform. But I greatly respect Linux and pay to support the Asahi Linux project (they are building Linux for Apple Silicon). I wish you all the best finding your way in a Windows-free world.

They mean they need you to murder your partner so they can wear your partner’s skin.

I’m so goddamn disgusted.

My friends went to whatever club in Germany that does multi-day parties. I get that.

I miss that.

I’m here to promote fclones. I’ve used it twice and recovered over a terabyte on my NAS the last time I used it. I’m not affiliated. Hyperspace for Mac is similar (but different) and I haven’t used it, but it was developed by my favorite nerd podcast host. I’m planning to test it out eventually, but the latest fclones run was only about a month ago, so it doesn’t make sense to try it yet.

I remembered the lady who was buying a 13" laptop to get into video editing. A year later, I saw her and asked how that was going. She was so surprised that I remembered her that I take great delight in the fact that we were real people and not a faceless corporation. I remember lots of people who weren’t assholes.

I worked customer-facing retail tech support. Some asshole said, “c’mon, man, give me a smile,” when I didn’t laugh at his unfunny joke while I was troubleshooting his computer. I was concentrating on doing my job; I didn’t have time to polish his ego. I am still annoyed at that interaction.
