Pay by the weight to flush

I feel like the only people left on X are the people who don't think their hate speech is hate speech...

I've been wondering this too. Will there be a way for company policy admins to somehow remove this fully? I work in an industry that deals with very sensitive and private information - no way in hell this would ever even remotely be allowed or pass any audits. Even just existing but being disabled could be problematic.

But big companies aside, how will this impact small companies who have no real in house IT? The potential for it to be capturing and storing stuff like, as you say anything required by PCI compliance, could turn into a nightmare. We also know this will inevitably be hacked or used by spyware somehow, someday, too no matter how secure they say it may be. So now a bad actor can recall an entire day work and data capture from a worker?

Either way, it still puts at least some money in American pockets. The reality of buying everything you need in life as American made is long dead.

OP wants to support the US economy more - funnelling money directly to Chinese sellers definitely won't do that and is arguably even worse than supporting Amazon (who at least employ Americans).

Most walk behind style mowers don't have oil filters.

When we get closer to the end I just assume we get subscriptions of subscriptions.

I probably don't live in your country 😉

I got an ad once for a group selling stolen credit card numbers too. I must have reported it at least a dozen times but it was always kept up and the report said it didn't break any rules. It only got removed after I just skipped Facebook reports and reported to the police.

And even for vintage cars and stuff, I assume we'll see better eco friendly and bio fuels being created that could be made in smaller batches without needing to use conventional oil as the fuel. Starting to see more and more of this on aviation already, and even some old warbirds have done recent tests on these fuels and run really well.

The other reply answered your performance question already, but to address your concern about switching between OS's for different program needs - you could always run windows in a virtual machine on Linux and just use Windows and the needed Windows software that way without having to fully reboot into Windows. This is the direction I plan on eventually going someday with my own setup and using Tiny11 for a lightweight windows VM.

Dead easy with Mint. I've been running it full time on my laptop for months now and my wife only recently came to find out it wasn't windows when I was explaining Linux to her (and she's not a technical personal - she's the person who yells at TV remotes when they don't work). Installation is super easy, much like installing windows - answer a few questions and off it goes. You can even install it alongside windows and pick what one you want to run on boot (I did this because of a couple windows-only apps I can't ditch just yet). If you can figure out Lemmy, Mint will be a breeze too.
