Because mint is familiar. The GUI and most of the keyboard shortcuts are similar to windows. The install is quick and easy, and for the most part everything will just work and be similar to what they’re used to.
Some people just want to be able to turn on their computer and do stuff without having to get used to a whole new UI.

Technology@lemmy.world•Tesla's 'unsupervised' Robotaxis vanish a week after pre-earnings announcementEnglish
6·24 days agoThe problem is that Tesla has become a self fulfilling prophecy. Not in any ability to actually make the products they advertise, but in making investors money. So many people have invested so much that the stock price now effectively describes investor’s aspirations for money, not their faith in Tesla. This has been true for some time. The value of the stock has been largely divorced from the reality of production targets, new products, or even the endless controversies.
My bet is tomorrow.
Some marines probably woke up this morning and got issued cold weather gear for a surprise arctic exercise.

I’ve had the opposite experience. Mint has just worked on literally every piece of hardware I’ve ever owned.

Trump fired the guy that reported the unemployment numbers for reporting accurate numbers. I assume everything since is propaganda.

It’s actually really expensive to get things to the sun.
The easiest ice covered rock to get to from earth would be Europa. He might also confuse it with Greenland as an added bonus.
Western powers promised Ukraine protection against attack or invasion by themselves and Russia in the December 5th, 1994 Budapest Memorandum.
The US, France, UK, Russia, and China all agreed not to invade Ukraine and in fact to provide protection, and in exchange, Ukraine gave up their nukes.
Russia violated this just 20 years later when they invaded and stole Crimea from Ukraine, and now 30 years later they are trying to conquer the entire country.
Thats why everyone is so hell bent on providing support for Ukraine. Not just because it’s the right thing to do, but because they were promised protection by world powers.
From what I can tell, there’s only one 200V cap in a PS1, so as long as you don’t short that you’ll be fine.
I still caution against the advice of feeling open electrical components to find problems. Just use a multimeter. You short something with a meter and you just need new leads, short something spicy with your fingers and you could either get a nasty sting, or stop your heart. The risk/reward on that seems a little off.
Don’t touch the inside of a psu, this can kill you very rapidly and you’ll feel it the whole time.

World News@lemmy.world•Russia ‘ready’ for war with Europe, Putin says, as US peace talks end without progressEnglish
21·3 months agoIs that gamble worth the lives of nearly every living thing on the planet and the future of human civilization?
Russia alone has enough nuclear weapons to cause a mass extinction event. Even if no one else fires a single one, they could erase life as we know it.
If Putin sees a Leopard tank in Moscow, are you sure he wouldn’t order a launch? And if Britain or the French see those missiles and bombers, are you sure they won’t launch in retaliation?
That’s the logic that European leaders are operating under. If they pull the trigger on article 5 and launch a war with Russia, even if they win, everyone could still lose literally everything.

“Join Us or we’ll start a two front war to make you join us” is hardly a convincing argument.


Cause fuck Tucker Carlson.
He’s an arrogant sleeve bag that sees no issue with spreading his lies in the disguise of news.
He’s the face of Koch brother’s undermining of American media, and he gladly took their money so he can fuck over every other American just a little more.
Unfortunately it looks like they let him go. Should have forgot about his sorry ass in a jail cell for a few decades.
