Fun fact. I have hopped around many other distros from Ubuntu to KDE to PopOS and a few dozen others but came back to Mint. It's rock solid reliable, easy to get work done, easy to customize to your liking, and easy to update. I've been using it reliably over the last 5 years and don't see myself changing any time soon.

Compare american vs japanese craftsmen-cars

As an American, I've written to multiple manufacturers, foreign and domestic, to bring/build the smaller Kei trucks but I have never heard any response except for Ford that basically sent a brochure for their F150 that has 'more space' for 'getting work done'. I would love these for practicality but the cost of importing a used one was MUCH higher than buying a normal truck/suv here. :(

Miiiiiiiiiiiiiist

Wow..... I remember playing this for MONTHS, trying to figure out what buttons, levers, everything does. I dedicated an entire paper notebook to writing down clues, hints, and failed attempts. And then the same for Riven.

Now I simply don't have the free time to dedicate to those games.... #adulting

After Raising $235K, Abode Remains Committed to Taking on Adobe

Reply in thread

After the Pantone fallout last year, I cancelled my Adobe subscription and bought Serif Affinity's apps and haven't looked back. Yes, there are a few work arounds and even almost a year in, I'm still looking up the occasional tool/feature that is comparable but I have saved $55/month. The ONLY features I miss are GREP and Scripts in InDesign but I have lived without them.

HP insists you must use their cloud printing service, covers USB port with sticker

Graphic designer here. I've used their shitty consumer grade laser and inkjet printers with USB and they have had many problems. I HATE their wide format inkjet printers with a passion..... They work great for a few dozen prints and then decide to have random problems that take a few hours to fix.

Their inkjet Indigo digital presses..... are freaking amazing. The color they produce is far better than any laser digital press I've seen. They required a trained operator and is MUCH more expensive than the shitty consumer level stuff but they last forever when easily maintained.

paying for free software

I've made a few contributions to the Linux Mint team and it's free. It has saved a few machines from the e-waste landfills and I have it on my laptop right now. It's super reliable and just works so the devs deserve the extra help.

Japan automakers play catch-up in EV race

Reply in thread

Exactly.

And when parts become available at my local auto parts store. One of my friends had a Model 3 and it took 1 MONTH to replace a broken passenger door mirror. It also took 3 WEEKS to fix a power seat issue. The same car had multiple growing pain issues that took way too much time to fix.

They were thrilled to trade it in on a new Camry so they could have a functioning car again.
