Where do you get once every 2 years? Do you never reboot your machine?

I'm hearing you like to reboot your machine unusually often.

The reason I can think of where clicking would be a huge pain in the ass is an automatic task. I have some of those, but I put them on machines that I treat as servers, and the time between reboots is genuinely counted in years, for those machines.

At this point you must be missing the point on purpose.

I wasn't before, but now I am.

I find your argument distasteful. If you want a server, use a server. But there's no need to shout to the world that servers require command line use. That's normal in 2025.

If you treat your laptop like a server, that's okay. No one is judging. But my grandma isn't doing that, and it rings hollow to complain so loudly about it in a thread about average users enjoying Linux Mint.

An average user will never even notice the issue you have been complaining about, while enjoying the product for free.

I don't normally tell people to go open a pull request, but you should do so, if only to get a better understanding of what the community has already given you for free.

Yes. I guess that's fair though. Most people don't like change.

So you're complaining that you have to click on it - once every two years - when you reboot...

That's rough, buddy.

I joke. But also, I guess if you feel that strongly about wasting my a click, Linux is definitely the OS for you.

I find Garyjay helps with this, by mingling videos from other services.

Sometimes by the time I've tried one of the first videos to load from other services, the PeerTube results have loaded for me.

Yes.

At this rate, we will be having a "local files are hard for the average user" debate, here, in another decade.

Which, maybe it will be, at that point.

Makes me suspect they have some lawyers on staff who were able to read America's laws -b which read to a lay-lerson as 'we absolutely always spy on everything you host on our soil'.

It's often the ones we most suspected.

a picture of Reagan with quotes of how Russia is the enemy, and tariffs are bad for everybody.

That's particularly good.

It feels like everything is vibe coded, now.

I need to start a vintage software hobby.

Ensign is a perfectly cromulent rank to achieve during a Starfleet career.

Asking the real critical question.

Pre-beard, I only give them one episode.

We've nearly outlined the plot to a season of Picard at this point.

Now we just need a motive - say Beverly Crusher is asking nicely from a deep space in distress...
