I was curious so I looked it up, seems like it started floating around in the late 1800's, but realy evolved to it's current form in the mid 1900's (though it's always attributed to being a much older proverb.)

That's really cool, I would totally be down for reading an article or watching a video essay that goes into the differences between clubs with and without phones.

I did a little research and apparently there are sexy clubs where you can hang out in rooms and do consensually sexy things and everyone is cool with it. I don't go clubbing, but I would assume it's a little different here in the states.

You should play wind waker, see if you can find that legendary silverware, the "triumph forks."

Pretty sure the "master gourd" pun is a reference to that.

I can help with the menu part. Look up "alacart" in the pop store. When installed it's called "main menu." Use that to add/remove/edit the items in your launcher menu thing.

On cinnamon: I click the power button in the menu, a pop up asks me what I want to do (suspend, restart, power off, cancel.)

I generally click suspend. There are no further pop ups.

Part of me wants to say "why are you following channels that play games with you?"

But after reading the comments it seems like this may be an issue with yt as a whole.

Today my mind went against my wishes and made me imagine tasting something I never want to taste.

"Granted, it wasn't very wet when it went in"

See, there's your problem.😏

I didn't know watermelon could do this. Who... Who buys watermelon and forgets it??? How does watermelon last longer than 4 days... At best?

It's watermelon! You buy it because you want to eat it now.

Yeah but the VM takes time to "boot" up and the folder structure isn't as clean, right?

Unfortunately I use Photoshop pretty heavily. I'm trying to split my different use-cases of Photoshop into different applications.

I tried Krita, and was immediately put off by how you have to input text in a different window, and can't see it live. GIMP's UI feels so different.

I'll add rawtherapee and darktable to my list to try, and I'm still giving Krita and gimp a chance. You can't expect to just slide right into a new program in a day after spending a decade in something else.

I wish, but what are the end users going to do? Switch?

Apple is expensive, and all Linux users will eventually have to use a command line. Sure, if you're on lemmy you're probably fine with the occasional terminal window, but most older folks aren't, and many in the younger generation aren't familiar with any os that doesn't come on a mobile device.

Power users have an alternative in Linux, but most will just shrug and accept it. Who has time to learn how to use and install a new OS? Ads are everywhere, it's become ewww the norm.

ewww...

Fwiw, it may be arguably easier for you to switch than to have to run a debloater script after every Windows update, at this point.
