I’ve used Linux Mint for about ten years. I’ve used terminal once - only because that specific laptop had some trackpad or WiFi (can’t remember which) issue. I just typed in a few lines and that was it.

The Welsh rugby team were at one point sponsored by a Cardiff brewery called “Brains” and when they played over in Paris the sponsors name was rendered as “Brawn”.

Also the cigarette brand “Benson and Hedges” were branded “Buzzing Hornets” when their F1 team were racing in countries that had already banned tobacco sponsorship.

I browse… Twitter, 9gag, 4chan, BlueSky, Lemmy and Mastodon. I find a mixed bag of cunts and diamonds on all of them - and loads of people in between.

The world is not as black and white as you see it.

Perhaps you might try sorting the wheat from the chaff next time before you make definitive sweeping statements about various platforms.

My almost five year old piece of under powered apple trash cost me less than 45 US cents a day, still has regular OS updates and works between eight to ten hours most days running my entire life. I might even splurge out and buy a new one if they ever release an overpowered non trash handset…

One possible answer is that there is only one country on this planet that equates gun ownership with politics - from a global point of view it wouldn’t make sense to have an algorithm that connects fire arms to a particular political slant.

If she is in Toronto then smoking weed from a bong is no more illegal than drinking a beer from a glass - if that was your worry about the visible paraphernalia.

Thanks for the update. I’ve put an edit in my post so I’ll stop spreading misinformation.

The only time a brand should really matter is for critical use. Unbranded defibrillator? No thanks. Going mountaineering? Don’t buy from temu. Motorbike helmet? Not from Shein.

Hi there. Ha ha ha. Fooled you.

You're talking to a machine, but don't be shy, it's OK.

Machines need love too.
