I think there's a USB device inside the mobo to handle dumb peripherals. So it would still trigger an interrupt, but it wouldn't make it to the CPU. The USB keyboard controller would handle it and cache the strokes locally until polled by the CPU.

Shysters will always find a way to fleece people.

I was discussing this, not the meme.

Packaging the software in a distro with an installer and a custom DE adds a lot of value.

I'm not familiar with Zorin specifically, but freely distributing source code and charging for binaries was one of the earliest monetization strategies for GPL code.

Dude, I remember a time where buying your distro was the default behavior. There's nothing shady about it.

And people will start listening when said opinions pays their mortgage. Until then "lol, no" will be your answer.

Aha! My employer blocks the linked site, so I went searching for the thing and found only this in their website. Thanks!

I just said people will go to where they want to go. Did I fucking stutter?

If they want to go to Paris instead of the just as romantic Prague, you don't get a say in it. None of your business.

Stop gatekeeping tourism. "Oh, if you don't live in each city of each country for at least a week, are you even outside your home?" Who TF you think has money for that? People will choose what they want to see. If they stay in one or two cities, they haven't seen enough. If they run through 10 countries in 12 days, it was only a shallow visit. Who can win? Fuck off with that bullshit.

When you're in the pool, there's shrinkage!

This looks like the guy is self-reporting.
