Got on my laptop today and Microsoft had installed (or reinstalled?) Copilot. I was going to wait til the weekend, but that really motivated me to just do it tonight. Of course Microsoft’s backup is not working properly so I have to backup everything folder by folder. Which is annoying. But Microsoft sure knows how to get me to get things done! Thinking of sending them a thank you card.
Sweet. Thanks! Hopefully I won’t have to do too many reinstallations lol
Sweet! I appreciate it. Going to try the demo and if I’m feeling confident enough with it I’m just gonna get rid of Windows all together.
Can’t thank them enough, honestly. The only thing holding me back is my fear of messing it up when I try to dual boot. I think I’m just hoping I will figure out a good alternative to the exactly one type of software that I need so I don’t have to deal with that. I mean really, it’s literally just a PDF editor so I know there’s an alternative. It just makes me anxious.
Edit: also, it wouldn’t let me select the language of my comment. It said this community doesn’t allow posts in English. Is that something I messed up or do some communities just not allow it to be specified?
Edit 2: finally finishing up the install now! A few minor hiccups but it was all user error.
They were talking about me. They got my pronouns wrong. It’s ok though, because they will have many more opportunities to get it right.
Very assertive of him
They both start with C, so it sounds legit.
You’re welcome. I’m glad I could provide some new information. It does suck but at least I am medicated now :)
I agree with you, however I want to mention (for the international crowd) that health insurance is insanely expensive. If you are disabled and can’t work (and live in a red state) you are fucked unless you have family who can help. No job = no subsidies for ACA insurance as well.
(Red state = right wing/Republican; ACA insurance is the government subsidized insurance that Obama started)
Yes, I did.
Most Americans I know think they’re centrists, even if they support either major party… I’m an American so I know a few Americans lol
What really sucks is my local politicians are very outwardly partisan, even though the positions are supposed to be nonpartisan. The surprising thing is that there are more liberalish residents than I expected. Unfortunately it’s just not enough to change what we get.
Would they rather the poop be out of the toilet? I am so confused lol
Although I do agree. Using a stall after a man has used it is disgusting. Also, using a stall after anyone who is not a man has used it is disgusting. (But only if they don’t keep it clean)
Lmao this is brilliant
Especially when I’m not supposed to be on the email
Wow. I thought maybe an accident but no…and he hasn’t been fired yet?? Insanity
Found a link. I’m on mobile so I can’t test it:
Not only does my local library have a maker space, but there is also a local FB group where people lend their tools and other things (like cooking supplies)
Yes. Adding to the other comment, if you don’t have good credit you can also lose out on certain job opportunities.
Edit: here is California’s restrictions on employer access. Note that other states have fewer restrictions.
It’s been fun. I’ve had it for a few months and I love it. Currently trying to figure out why my PDFs get corrupted and how to fix it - I’m pretty sure it has to do with signatures but not completely sure. The other thing is that I was having trouble figuring out how to hibernate my computer, so it was sleeping all the time (except when off or in use), but then one day it just started hibernating. Not sure how that happened.
I chose Fedora with the KDE desktop and it’s great. I’m not entirely sure I understand the differences in the desktop choices but it works for me for now.
I’m trying to get my partner to switch but they’re worried about it not being compatible with/not being able to find suitable replacements for certain Windows software used for work. So basically I just need to get better with Linux before they switch lol
