I honestly don't understand how people socialise and make friends though gaming

yet I've never interacted with anyone, I don't have a headset and I don't wanna hear voice or chat while playing though

To be blunt, you need to interact and talk with people to form a lasting relationship. If you aren't socialising while gaming then, well, you aren't socialising while gaming.

That's fine, a perfectly valid way to play, but if you really envy them and you want to start socialising and making friends while gaming you're gonna have to get a headset and talk with people.

I'm sure there are as many reasons as there are people who dislike Ubuntu, but here's a few:

  • They injected internet ads into search
  • To many outside of the community if they have any familiarity with Linux on a desktop, it's with Ubuntu which kinda places it in a position to newcomers as being Linux itself rather than one particular flavor
  • It is very opinionated about look and feel and usability: i.e. their custom launcher and Snaps
  • It's popular
  • It has a reasonably large user base so there's more opportunity for people to find things to nitpick over.

Overall it's fine. I've used Ubuntu, Mint, Puppy, DSL, Arch (btw), Fedora, and Debian. I can do pretty much anything I need to on any of them. I've got my preferences about the correct balance between useability, upgrade schedule, and customizability.

The argument is that while you can't program with it everyone has access to it therefore it's a programming language.

That seems weak.

Pen on paper has the same result as HTML and is arguably more accessible. Does that make keeping a diary "programming?"

Ultimately it doesn't matter, but there are significantly better arguments than what was presented here.

Is the milk tanker getting stuck really related to a made up Aldi store on Google maps of did this town just have 2 things happen? The article makes it sound like they're related which implies either:

  1. The milk tanker was driving to Aldi to unload which is insane to think Aldi corporate would trust Google more than their own logistics and saw fit to send milk without an inventory check.
  2. The milk tanker was driving to Aldi to fill up which is insane to think there's a guy committing milk arbitrage 1 retail container at a time.

I can't think of a faster way to make me not want to work for you than for you to post details about my name, current work, and our interview.

No, they're piped into the municipal water supply. But if there's a broad forest fire and a drought the municipal system can lack the available water to pump to the hydrants in the quantities needed for fighting fires. The tap can run dry (and it very recently did). In such a case it's not untenable to say there's no water in the hydrants. It's a bit of an awkward word choice ("no water for the hydrants" or "insufficient water pressure for the hydrants" would have been better), but IMHO there's better things to criticize him over.

Israel already let hell loose. That's part of the reason some of the hostages, doctors, journalists, and aid workers will never go home to their families.

Oof, I might have wooshed there. Totally read that comment as criticizing my inquiry as things a Jr would ask and not as the implementation being "look what I as a Jr can do!"
