    Noticed this on reddit oh so many years ago. The first couple of posts drive the discussion. I even fucked around experimenting with that. If I got the first word in, that predicted the path of opinion. It’s truly scary how easily we’re manipulated.

    I make a lot of contrary comments. Not to be disagreeable just because, and not to cause problems, I just say what I mean regardless of prevailing opinions. It’s bizarre to make the same exact statement in two threads and get excoriated on one and lauded on the other.


  • My Windows is so stable it’s travelled the same SSD into 3 different machines. I don’t have a clue how many years ago I made the initial install, been at least 8. I also can’t remember the last time I had to troubleshoot an OS issue. Trying to think on it now, no idea, but it’s certainly been years.

    The BT thing is funny. I promise it was in Device Manager from day 1. Gave my daughter an old laptop with Mint on it, took me an hour to get the BT working. Know how I did it? After much research, it turned out I merely needed to keep repeating the same fucking command until the OS recognized it.

    That’s all because you used a manufacturer’s version. When I’d get a new laptop for a user at work, I’d fire it up so Windows activated, then wipe it and install from a plain ISO.

    Here’s where lemmy never fails to downvote like hell: I don’t have the problems you’re talking about, never have. It’s like people think I’m lying.
