Education is wasted on the worthless children of rich bastards, the little fail-upwards shits who never had to work for anything in life and don't intend to start now. And THAT is who attends Brown Shit University and the rest of the Ivy League Garbage Schools.

If school hours aren't long enough to allow this, why not make school hours longer!

First, because there are only 24 hours in a day.

Second: I took AP classes constantly. Compared to normal classes, there was not "more homework." The homework was MORE RIGOROUS. For students who were not equipped for it, it might have taken more time than the "standard" class homework.

Third - The quantity of homework has gone up significantly since I grew up in the 1970s. - Every time I see some senilefuck say things like this, I suspect they're either lying or just not remembering correctly. Time to change your Depends in the retirement home, grandpa.

Spoken like a true HS-dropout Trailer Trash Retard who's never taken an AP class. Fuck off back to humping your retardedshit sister in the trailer park, Trump-worshiping Putin-dicksucking Treason Bitch Clownboy.

I mean it's roughly 30 years past the "Year of the Linux desktop".

And that's because Windows fanbois moved the goalposts and people either didn't notice or didn't realize what was going on. Back then, "the year of Linux on the desktop" meant the year when Linux was good enough to be used on a desktop as your daily driver, something that's been achieved decades ago. However the Windows lusers started using the term to mean the year that Linux was on the majority of desktops, something that clearly hasn't happened yet and Linux users let them get away with it.

Actually I do want to memorize. But not random idiotic key strokes that have nothing to do with the action/command they execute. EMACS is a prime example for that. ^G for example, what has that to do with "help"? Good, ^H is backspace, so during normal editing not available ...

If you want to memorize the commands, knock yourself out; nobody's stopping you. And go right ahead and use ^H as backspace, as that's what it does in nano. I'm not saying that you must, or even should be using it, I'm explaining why I've been using it for the last quarter of a century.

wine you have to install and setup, while there are tools to help. steam itself install the proton and do the setup...

I use Fedora, so I can only talk about that. With Fedora, Wine is in the standard repos and all you need to do is tell the appropriate package management program (I use dnf, the CLI program, because it gives me the control I want.) to install wine, and away it goes, finding and installing wine and all the needed dependencies without any further work on your part except accepting the transaction. I'd think that most if not all of the mainstream distributions do the same, although the details change, but unless you really want to do it the hard way, there shouldn't be any need to descend into Dependency Hell.

But you don't need to memorize it; all of the most common commands are listed at the bottom of the window. And, if you need one that's not listed, there's always ^G, the first command listed which gets you to Help, a complete list of commands. Nothing to memorize unless you want to.

Congratulations, they've now gated the security updates behind 26H2, because Dumbfuck Klanbitch Trump and the Treasonfuck GOP allowed them to.

Once a month it tries to force my browser default back to Edge. I tell it to fuck off.

A few times they've done it BEHIND MY BACK and I had to fix it manually after a fake "patch" to windows.

Before the days of Dumbass Fuckwit Trump and the Constitution Hating Treasonshit GOP, we had government entities that SUED Microsoft under Antitrust law for this shit.

Fuck the GOP. Fuck them for enabling this shit. Every crossburning Constitution-hating member of the GOP is a fucking shitrag.

The KlanFuckSix do not CARE about the Constitution, you Putin-Dicklicking GOP TreasonTrashBITCHCUNT. All of you KlanBitchGOPFucks are cockroaches, traitors to the country and we need some fumigation of your infestation.

but IIRC, Apple has iOS's iCloud backup on by default (and quickly runs out of space and then nags you to subscribe to a paid tier).

DUH. That's the play. They force you into a "service" as an "opt out." Then - oh, the free tier is insufficient. Or the free tier JUST GOES AWAY and then they're holding your computer hostage.

Retardican GOP failed utterly at governance, the government entities that were supposed to be watching out for us and enforcing antitrust law died under Trump. Every Retardican traitor to the Constitution helped cause this shit.

If not for Treasonfuck Trump and the Shiteating GOP who hate the Constitution, this would never have been allowed, and the Federal agencies would actually be hauling MS's ass in for antitrust about this.

This is pathetic. The USA is over and dead.

4. Volunteer for the military in a related field, or even in a general occupation. A two-year military enlistment qualifies for the GI bill which will fund your 4-year degree with perhaps some left over for other education.

The GI Bill is important, but it's not the only thing this gives you that will help you for the rest of your life. You also get VA medical benefits that never end even if you come out without any Service Connected conditions. And, judging by all the complaints about the high costs of Health Care that I see here, it's a good thing to have.

As a personal example, back in early '22 I lost my balance on a patch of black ice and came down on my right knee like a pile driver. That led to two weeks in a hospital and I still have a rod in my femur. As I was already retired at the time there was no way I could have ever paid off that debt, but as I have my VA benefits I ended up not paying for any of that care.

Federal law already exists: COPPA, 16 CFR Part 312. This TX disgrace is in conflict, but the KlanTrash TreasonSix on SCOTUS don't care about the Constitution.

It's interstate commerce. This should be a federal not state thing, but then again, you Klanturds hate the Constitution as you've proven over and over again...
