Dark ages? MFer’s all but pried my Palm Pilot TX from cold dead hands …

Only reason I ditched MX was that it didn’t have ARM builds at the time, and its not so hard to get Debian working how I like it.

The hard part is launching a nuke without setting off nuclear armageddon when all of the nuke-holding countries panic and launch theirs, so uh … why bother with the asteroid part?

Pretty sure I understand less about the slang now that I’ve seen it in this format, but I still prefer it to other encounters I’ve had.

Came here to say, I find this more palettable than most such refferernces in the wild.

Where does this imply that I downvoted anything for the reasons you mentioned? There were maybe five or six comments prior to my own, and I downvoted all of them besides OPs(which I did upvote, tyvm - funny how that didn’t work out to you noticing).

Less spammy than “trying to set the record straight” by correcting them all, nevermind that, as I stated, I don’t have a better solution anyways, but again, yes, I also up-voted the one-or-two comments that had anything to do with OPs problem, both clarifications by OP themselves.

I’ve also up-voted other comments since, but there have been none talking about Ribbons and Tabs since, at least. Almost like what visibility my own comment got served its purpose.

Things don’t have to be positive to work. Sometimes Loud Garbage can slow the buildup of even-more-useless-if-well-meaning garbage. Well-intentioned, useless, basically-un-true-in-context things only pass one of Socrates criteria, btw.

Thus, that last line in my comment. My frustration in this case is just sooo much more to do with the issue than with comments.

Partially implimented system theme. Comments: oP MuSt wAnT It tO LoOk lIkE MiCrOsOfT!

The only one who so-far realized the theming is the problem suggested a quick fix that will likely leave this issue cropping up again in other applications.

Me: down-votes comments because I WANT there to be a better answer, not because I know one. Happy Monday, people!

Sure, if that’s your level of thought and reading comprehension, let’s say you’ve got it. Is it really so hard to understand the notion that what works for you doesn’t work for me, but I’m okay with you doing whatever?

Keep practicing, kid.

Your life isn’t my life, and restoring backups is no less a hassle just for having them(personally, I backup files, and either fix what I break or do a clean install). Auto-complete also makes me lose my train of thought, but if its helpful to you, enjoy.

Reason’s I never use auto-complete in the terminal. Sadly, that’s sometimes not enough.

No one should be basing their “how to do it right” on a single forum comment. Talk about scope-creep for the offering of advice.

“… and God said, let us make man in our own image.”

Yeah, dial-up isn’t the part I miss.

I miss the magical time when Compuserve, AoL, Yahoo, and more, all had to compete with eachother, and all you need to use ALL of them was that initial dial-up connection.

Then AoL bought Compuserve, AT&T bought Yahoo, and all along it went to shit in a million different little ways.

Even back when I was in the laptop-repair game, this is the kinda stuff people would expect me to know about their stuff that I hated. I saw too many features come and go over the years to keep track of even half of it on behalf of others.

Depends on the iGPU, but this being a damn near brand-new laptop, I’m sure you’re right.

Maybe if it allowed you to switch to integrated graphics versus discrete, putting the GPU to sleep.

For just browsing, even integrated graphics has been plenty since the beginning of the internet, maybe with some exceptions when Flash gaming reached its pinnacle.

The one usually works best with the other, though.

EDIT: nm, I see what you were getting at in their comment now. They also meant downscaling the Text/UI, not upscaling.

The triangulation would mostly be for direction in this case, yeah. Unless we happened to have a radio telescope pointed at the right region of the sky at the time.
