Comment on What advice or wisdom would you give to someone 10 years younger than you? in ~life
Klayy Link ParentThis is great advice. The shock after an accident causes people to make bad decisions. Have a plan and follow it.If you drive a lot, have a checklist in the car of things to do after an accident.

One thing to take into account is the warranty - new phones come with one and if they die on you, you just get them fixed for free. Used phones become useless bricks. -
Comment on Eating someone: Farmed animals have personalities, smarts, even a sense of agency. Why then do we saddle them with lives of utter despair? in ~food
Klayy Link ParentI'm not sure what you mean by broadening my horizons. I made changes in my diet which made me appreciate more meals. I still eat meat. I never suggested you should not eat meat.I'm not sure what you mean by broadening my horizons. I made changes in my diet which made me appreciate more meals. I still eat meat.

Since I cut down on the amount of meat I eat (roughly once a week now) I found that I enjoy non-meat meals much more than before and I vastly expanded my horizons in terms of dishes I like. I still love a good steak, but I honestly can't say it tastes better to me than for example spaghetti aglio e olio. But just 5-6 years ago, when I was still an avid carnivore, that would have seemed impossible to me.

Comment on What OS do you use and what are your favourite programs? in ~comp
Klayy Link ParentTrue. I used to care about things like this back in the day but now I have more important things to worry about than Candy Crush being preinstalled on my PC.True.

Klayy Link ParentThanks for the tips, I might look into it at some point (though I would probably just buy another card if I wanted to move to linux for good).Thanks for the tips, I might look into it at some point (though I would probably just buy another card if I wanted to move to linux for good).

Last time I tried was probably two years ago. I don't remember the exact version - it was the latest one at the time. I remember there were some issues with drivers around that time so the timing probably wasn't too good. Anyway Win10 has been running perfectly since so I didn't try again because I never felt a need. -

Klayy Link Parent"I let them do whatever they want with my computer" You're attacking a strawman. I said no such thing. You seem very upset - take a deep breath, there's no reason to get angry on the internet...."I let them do whatever they want with my computer"
You're attacking a strawman. I said no such thing. You seem very upset - take a deep breath, there's no reason to get angry on the internet.
Personally I don't care about this stuff because I don't experience the bloat in any way. After installing the OS I just remove a bunch of apps from start menu and that's it. -

And in any case, the point you indirectly seem to be making is that saving every last gigabyte is a very important aspect of an OS. There are tons of valid reasons to dislike Windows, but this one doesn't seem like one tbh -

I tried switching to Linux on my PC a few times (most recently I tried Ubuntu, Debian, Mint) but all of them crashed with 3 monitors connected so I gave up.
Favorite programs include Notepad++, AIMP, XAMPP, SmartGit
I would include Firefox in the list, but since Quantum came out it lost a ton of useful features (mostly provided by TabMixPlus). -

Klayy Link ParentObviously those apps are mostly junk but at the same time what's the big deal? If you don't need them just don't use them, they barely take up any space.Obviously those apps are mostly junk but at the same time what's the big deal?

Replacing all my meals with soylent would be overkill. I mean I could tolerate the blandness, but the social aspect is the real problem. Eating meals with people is one of the joys of life so why avoid that? However worrying about food in the middle of a busy day is not fun and soylent is better than junk food. Especially if you work out and you're trying to maintain a healthy nutrition plan.

Last time I tried it was around the time ATI dropped their support for linux drivers (I don't remember the details, I just know that proprietary drivers didn't work anymore and open source ones weren't great).

It worked fine with 1 monitor, but I have 3 and that seemed to have been an issue. I have an ATI Radeon R9 390
I have a Windows laptop from 2011 that was originally for Windows 7, but it's running Windows 10 now. It works great. I'm not sure what your point is.
