Business proposal: destroy capitalism
Piracy is not stealing, but both piracy and stealing from corpos are good to do
Absolute baby brained understanding of capitalism
Think like Bill Gates: use monopoly power to drive all your competitors out of business then write your own antitrust settlement where you pinkie swear to be a good boy for five whole years.
That's not a separate thing, it's just capitalism in crisis because of the tendency of the rate of profit to fall
Most people are much more willing to pirate from a global megacorp than from an actual human person.
.world is run by reactionary dipshits
I remembered having this problem and found the page that helped me: https://superuser.com/questions/1151161/enable-touch-scrolling-in-firefox
The idea that Bill Gates left money on the table for others with Microsoft isn't just wrong, it's so exactly the opposite of reality that it boggles the mind. Did he leave money on the table for other DOSes with windows 95? For other office suites with MSOffice? For Netscape with bundled IE?
Where did you get such a comprehensively false idea from?
Everybody should pirate, everything should be fucked up
My personal negative vibe toward Manjaro comes from my own experience with updates breaking things when I was running it
To engage a bit less glibly: Capitalism is very bad, private property (as distinct from personal property) is very bad, and intellectual property is an especially nonsensical form of private property which urgently needs to be destroyed. All software should be Free in the FSF Four Freedoms sense.
Tiling is handy for lots of things, especially combined with workspaces. People just like showing off terminals in their flex screenshots
That's just a lie you are a liar
Edit: or a credulous fool
Desktop replacement gaming laptops are a mistake. You can buy a normal laptop and the parts to build a gaming desktop for the same price and the laptop will be much more practical to carry around while the desktop will perform better and last longer.

I haven't participated on Reddit since leaving for Lemmy, and I've barely participated on blahaj since leaving for hexbear
cd, ls, and the tab key are the basic tools of terminal filesystem navigation
Early model switch is the only switch worth getting unless you want to do a pretty microsoldering heavy hardmod, check the serial number against the list on this page before you buy
If you're gonna buy a switch look for a used one old enough to be software hackable and pirate all your games
Women tend to use emojis more, so redditors and by extension lemmitors hate emojis
I use Xournal++ it's not perfect but it does what I need it to as a stylus note app.
flash drive is probably formatted FAT32 and that file is too big for that format. reformat the flash drive to exfat.
Abolish all intellectual property as part of abolishing all private property and enshrine the four fundamental software freedoms as universal human rights.
Business ethics is an oxymoron
When you purchase digital goods you're downloading capitalism. 
All a consequence of Microsoft monopolistically tying windows to the OS to push out other competing DOSes
The good future includes the total and final death of Trusted Computing, which means the end of capitalism.
I use a Lenovo IdeaPad FLEX 14API with PopOS on it, it's a flip over style covertible with stylus support and it's working pretty well for me. The specific model I have is a few years old now, but there are certainly modern equivalents. The only hardware on it that doesn't work out of the box with Linux is the fingerprint reader, but I don't use that anyway.

Search the filenames. Guides only tell you to get them from a switch because of plausible deniability.
I run PopOS on my IdeaPad Flex, which is one of those flip all the way around type laptop tablet hybrids, and it handles tablet stuff pretty well with the touchscreen, on screen keyboard, and stylus input.
Stallman is right about all his free software takes except his take that commercial free software is acceptable.
(He also has a very bad take about they/them pronouns)
Specifically from the introduction of Windows 95 tying Windows and MS-DOS together. While Windows was an application running on DOS Microsoft tried various schemes to break compatibility when it was run on other competing DOSes, and Windows 95 was the final stroke of that strategy by tying the GUI inextricably into the OS.
No more half measures, Walter
The most ethical thing a business owner can do is suicide bomb a shareholder meeting
The battery life is not great but not terrible, it could do six hours on light use and low brightness after several years of normal battery degradation, and I would expect the equivalent model with a newer processor to last longer. The stylus support is proprietary, you need the Lenovo brand stylus, but it works as you'd expect with pressure sensitivity and all. I primarily use it for note taking in Xournal++.
The situation with Windows and DOS is as if ChromeOS took over so decisively that Linux became nothing more than a historical curiosity.
