  1. Running Linux Apps is not Running Linux.

    The only hint of Windows I want on a Linux box is games that have no Linux version running on wine.

    Will it boot and run Linux without any hint of W10 ?

    Serif fonts are now considered the "Formal" font. so we now should be properly reproducing them.

    That's bullshit.

    I am not going to reduce readability for the sake of other persons concept of what is 'fashionable' in type-face. I accept no self-described 'authority' on the subject. Period.

    TBH, I am extremely tired right now. I am pretty sure my brain did that deliberately to try and get my attention. :)

    I detest the latest trend of making fonts on the screen unreadable, but compared to Serif I find Verdana much easier on the eyes. Have you tired it ?

  7. The real question though, is can it run Linux?

    Design complexity breeds system fragility.

    I buy older cars because I hate these 'driving assists' and other BS cars are being made with now. I will also buy older guns, without the gadgetry tyvm.

    This is why we can't have nice things.

    Just because a few people behave outside the boundaries of society doesn't mean we have to ban the tools that those people use.

    A truck was deliberately used in another country recently as a weapon. It was registered, the driver was licensed. Why haven't there been calls to ban trucks?

    Because certain people that decline complex thought have marketed, or bought into the marketing of guns as the symbol of absolute evil.

    Here's a place I think you would love:

    Free Healthcare,
    Free Room and Board,
    Free nutritious meals ( 3 per day )
    Free Gym Membership,
    Free Education,
    Only the Police have Guns,

    Where is this you say?

    By your Logic, if I see a car accident on tv then I will never have a car accident because it was on the news and therefore cannot happen to me.

    We were informing you of the simple fact that it wouldn't be on the news unless the odds were astronomically low.

    You were doing good up until here. The line above is true. I get this.Your conclusion blow though is hideously false. This is what I am taking issue to.

    if it's on the news it will not happen to you.

    Awareness of an event does not alter your chance of experiencing that event unless you are actively seeking, or avoiding it.

    You could learn about a Tornado or Police chase and either go to, run from, or remain where you are. Overall the outcome is dependent on your actions.

    IF YOU SEE IT ON THE NEWS IT WILL NOT HAPPEN TO YOU. Unfortunately most people do not understand this.

    It's more accurate to say 'seeing something on the news does not make it any more or less likely to happen to you. Unless you are watching tsunami coverage in a zone that's expecting that Tsunami, or you're watching reporting on a giant fire that's heading for your community.

    The tone of your post suggested that all I have to do to protect myself from a forest fire is to watch it on the news. Then it won't happen to me.

  18. If nobody is working, then who is paying the taxes to pay for the UBI?

    Money doesn't grow on trees.

    Food grows on trees, and someone has to pick it, ship it, and stock it before someone can buy it.

    I see UBI as the collapse of society.
