The first thing I tried wax knoppix but the disk my mom burned for me didn't work, I didn't wind up actually getting to use knoppix until high school and then I found DSL was better for my needs at the time.

"what was your first Linux experience" is quite different than "why did you switch."
My first Linux experience was with fedora core 4 in 2005 or 6. I switched to Linux in 2019 or so because Microsoft turned windows into full on spyware and my games finally mostly all worked on Linux. Very different answers.
I use bing mostly.
I saw a couple from instances with no posts this morning so I just added those instances to my instance's block list. I don't mind corporate accounts being on Lemmy, I do mind them posting straight up ads.
This whole thing is an exercise in futility. You're going to change the name, someone else will take it and nobody will use the new community because nobody's ever heard of it and pcmr will be there anyway.
Yes, and the pcmr name has been argued to death and back several times at this point. This whole exercise is fucking stupid.
It's funny you mention xp being so bad, I've always remembered it as the one people loved. But I was using MacOs 9 in the school computer lab while xp was getting reamed for its ui and early security issues so.
Man I forgot about DSL, I used to carry around a USB with DSL on it I'd throw onto school computers in high school lol.
Well propegating the idea it's cool to have years long uptimes regardless of the fact it may be practical for you in this instance iis nonetheless dangerous.
Dems aren't going to fix it and reps want to destroy it and aren't going to vote for someone who isn't a rep so let's just kill the democratic party in the name of "something new" - oh look we're a full on fascist nation now because dipshits like you convinced stupid people that going full fasc is better than small incremental progress.
Like I get it, Dems suck they really do. But if you think destroying that party before republicans is going to result in improvment? Well let me make sure I stay far away from whatever you're smoking cause it's got you fucked up. Now go on, call me a centrist for being practical and not wanting to throw the country away, I you know you want to.
Isn't that exactly what said executives wanted? Wasn't fox news created to prevent a second Nixon not by making sure no crimes were committed by future republican presidents, but by making sure they could mislead the public into thinking they weren't crimes in the first place? I'm sorry but now that it's clear to the entire world what you built and why you built it you don't get to sit here and go "oh my how could we ever have known it would turn into this!" Like bitch you wanted this.
I vaguley remember the reason I gave up red hat being that I couldn't get a desktop lol.
