You learn plenty by breaking and reinstalling. I don't considering it an invalid option for a home user. I had to reinstall MacOS7/8 and Windows 95/98 so many times as a kid. Learned a lot doing it, sysadmin now 🤷‍♂️

Based off the Ubuntu 24.04 release, which already seems half broken, it's perfect.

I'm almost sure the site has already been scrapped of current contest for the LLM.

"South Carolina, USA"... well that's sadly makes sense. I need to convince my boss to let me be full time remote so I can leave.

I have been running a vertical task bar since Windows XP and have been on KDE as well(like now). The fact it's not an option for Windows 11(my work laptop) drives me insane.

So many wasted pixels. :/

I can't speak for the strange bear, but I've been camping enough to know I make a noise when I shit in the woods.

Then there's Google's habit of completely ignoring the browser's language settings so I have to sit though ads I don't even understand

I used to occasionally watch YouTube on my lunch break when I would go into the office. I loved getting ads in Spanish, the office was in Greenville,SC not a large Spanish native population. I have premium on my account but don't like signing in personal account on work machines.

If I ever become a game dev I'm keeping my head down.

Which is apparently not enough unfortunately. Damned it you do, damned if you don't.

The only times I've seen that is if I'm trying to browse while on a VPN(mullvad in my case). And more often than not it's because it came up in a search.

I had an enterprise fiber side that I just bailed on and quit the place without notice(or another job lined up). It was genuinely soul crushing andi don't regret my decision. Granted 3 years later I make more than double the pay with less headache.
