No more customers getting blamed for ‘fake’ stamps, hopefully

Everything except the brains

Ooh ooh! Do Allahu Aqua next!

This is one side of the story. It’s entirely possible CF did provide those details

Because people wouldn’t support spending their taxes on it without making them aware of the value. Which is done by educating them.

That’s certainly how it comes across when you claim species don’t have inherent value. Why would we bother to preserve and protect something that’s valueless? You may have meant something else, but judging by the downvotes nobody else is getting your intended meaning either.

Not that surprising when you think about it. Bullets operate on the principle of focusing force into an extremely small area, and armor piecing bullets just take that a step further by not deforming the moment they impact without adding any extra force. A heavy punch with the weight of an entire heavyweight behind it has so much more force than the few grams of mass a bullet has.

Zoos are about money, yes. That’s not the point under discussion. I’m taking issue with the line ‘species don’t have inherent value’. You’re basically saying it’s ok to drive species extinct as long as its done humanely.

… This is a horrible day to have eyes

… What. I don’t even know where to start with that. Ecological conservation is about money?

Generating awareness and sympathy is probably the biggest factor in keeping many endangered species alive

So… Was he supposed to jab her in her eye?

I guess that explains why she’s giving it away

And most likely taking a million things out of context

You’re suggesting that every user should learn programming. All 8 billion people. How do you not see the ridiculousness of that suggestion.

It’s definitely a medical room like the other commentor said. Most likely for somebody with long term limited mobility. Everything they need within 5 minutes of slow moving. I’ve had relatives who would have lived in rooms like this if they could have.

proprietary, corporate-backed desktop

But how does that differ from Fedora or Ubuntu, besides popularity?

Yeah, honestly given the time this has been at play I’m surprised nobody has tried to do that type of full control integration besides Google. Given how well ChromeOS and especially Android worked as platforms why hasn’t… I don’t know, Valve? Adobe? Apple, even? tried to create a major desktop PC take on Linux that does have the type of support and sensible UX you want out of the box?

I agree. However if you look through the other comments in here, you’ll see a LOT more examples of stuff that fall into the “it just doesn’t work” category instead. And most of them are a lot more obvious to casual / new users. Those would be the ones that really require priority if Linux is ever to become mainstream.

Because, please don’t make that recommendation to anybody else. Of all the places for somebody to start contributing to open source, linux is probably among the top in complexity. And if it’s a new user, as per the original topic of this post, and they can’t figure out their issue from the million guides online, you’re just ensuring they make a speedy return to windows.
