My friends girlfriend had a Win 10 laptop that "technically" wasn't supported to upgrade to 11 (It was) but she wasn't keen on moving to 11 as she didn't like the look of it (panel, etc).

So they both asked me for alternatives and I gave some options and we settled on Fedora KDE. She loves it. Especially when I showed her how she can really customize the look of it and for fun I showed her the Chicago95 stuff that someone did and she was like "wait, can I do that?"

She always loved the Windows XP look as that was essentially her childhood. So with a bit of work we got Plasma to look like Windows XP and she absolutely loves it. says it makes her feel like a kid again when she was really into pc tech stuff and now using linux has sparked that interest again. She's now watching Veronica Explains and Bread videos on youtube about linux shes learned a few terminal commands, how to do DNF (which she loves) to download programs, etc.

And because of her watching Bread youtube videos she's now asking me about switching to Arch. Her boyfriend is also making the switch too on his desktop. So I think next weekend I'm going to help them set up Arch or CachyOS on both their machines.

First Doug and Chow demand a RTO initiative at the plea of downtown Toronto business owners and commercial landlords so that people will, essentially, be forced to buy and eat downtown. It's not working as people simply refuse to pay. So their next brilliant idea is to get rid of bike lanes completely so that people driving will shop and eat downtown? that's not going to work either. people are STILL going to refuse to pay. This won't work and if anything is going to hurt businesses even more because people will simply continue to not shop downtown out of protest like they're already doing.

Why should I buy a $20 mediocre burger at some restaurant on king street when I can make my own lunch or a burger at home? why hop in my car and pay gas to go buy something when I can now just get it delivered on uber?

It's the same shit with their new proposals for renting. They refuse to acknowledge the ACTUAL issues and rather skirt around it with horrible infected bandaid solutions. We're all broke. We all can't afford the cost of living. Want us to live and work and shop downtown again? cool lower rents, lower the cost of everything, and the people will return and shop. Or, heaven forbid, wages increase across the board and STOP stagnating. You can't force people to buy more when they dont' have the money to buy more at an increased cost.

surprising no one.

the fact that it's 2025 quickly moving into 2026 and our government still treats our indigenous peoples like second class citizens is just mind blowing.

to be fair there are many games that are like Getting Over it or Balatro or even Vampire Survivors it's just many of them aren't as successful or known as those games.

If the Democrats run the same platform/campaign as they did before she'll lose again.

Democrats REALLY need to get it through their thick skulls that the days of campaigning on working alongside people across the aisle are over. that the days of uniting a country are over. Remember, the other side has already KILLED democratic politicians. they even KILL people on their own side they don't agree with.

they need to take the position that while a certain group of people will never support them, they'll still work for them but not with them.

well last time it went until the early 40s so...you probably got like another 15 years or so. they'll replace the main character though because he's aging out of the part.

I don't understand why though. If the files were released tomorrow and it had his name in big bold colourful letters all throughout it what then? I know he's in them, you know he's in them, EVERYONE knows he's in them so what's the point? motions to impeach the fucker get presented almost every week and go no where. Why would I believe THIS time would be different? Nothing can touch the guy. Hell he lead a coup at one point and US fuckers elected him AGAIN.

I GUARANTEE you if the files were released tomorrow there would be a collective "A-HA TOLD YA SO" and then jack all because that's how Americans operate - focus on one thing, get obsessed with it, lose focus, wait for the next thing.

so she admits they need foreign workers but her party also calls immigration a "silent invasion".

Can't have it both ways lady unless you want to take a play book from some middle eastern countries.
