Easiest distro for elderly parent

If they are used to Windows, go with KDE.
I’d say Cinnamon or XFCE. Plenty customizable enough for this use case and very straightforward.

My thought was XFCE feels a lot like XP/7 era Windows, and so would be familiar. But I can see Budgie being attractive for someone where it’s just like “here’s the button for your email, here’s how you get on the internet” and they don’t need to touch anything else.

Took me a minute to decipher that too. But looking it up, the US president in the game mentioned above is a woman. So they are saying “in the game the president is a woman, in real life he (Trump) is just a bitch.”

This quote is particularly amusing because the author used en dashes where he should have used em dashes, while making a point about how no one uses em dashes.

You have been in IT for 20 years and don’t understand this? Has your career not made it abundantly clear that the average person is completely computer illiterate and has no idea what AI even is? How many people have you had to assist in 20 years who insist that they have tried every possible solution, only to find out that something isn’t even plugged in or turned on?

The difference is that your average crackhead/tweaker copper thief knows a sketchy scrap yard that will pay them a discounted rate for the copper cable and not ask any questions. It’s unlikely they know where to unload stole fiber optic cable.
The sign is less to discourage theft than to prevent damage by copper thieves who are unaware of the difference and attempt to steal the cable.

Judas, specifically.
Strongly disagree. Judas felt shame, and hung himself. Conservatives feel no shame and would never repent.
(Unless of course you read the other chapter of the fairy tale that says he didn’t kill himself but instead fell into a hole and exploded or something)

Why do I see comments like this all over Lemmy? Do people like you ever go outside?
