Don't think so, this screenshot looks older to me and was probably taken during the transition to the Teams rewrite, Teams (new). So the user has both old and new Teams installed, which was a common occurrence as you could switch between them with a toggle button.

I think you're both right.

If you've always grown up Windows, then you generally know the steps to go through to try and fix it, which are oftentimes laborious and sifting through useless answers like sfc /scannow until you finally find some command you need to run like onedrive.exe /reset and about 12 other steps to get your OneDrive syncing (example problem).

Now you switch over to Linux as a fairly new user, oh my audio isn't coming from my speakers but is from the jack. Uhhhh, the Settings show it all there and working? Oh, here's a forum answer but it tells me to edit my pulseaudio.conf file? Where the hell is that? Oh, I found it but it's read only? Oh, I have to type sudo nano /etc/pulseaudio.conf into a terminal? Woah, what the fuck is this text editor?? I guess I use the arrow keys to move, but no mouse support? Alright I've edited it but what the heck Ctrl S isn't saving? Oh, the legend at the bottom says Ctrl O, and uhhhh, yeah overwrite? Now Ctrl X to exit, and uhhh, okay it's still not fixed but maybe a reboot fixes it. And if we fast forward 4 hours it turned out to be an audio driver.

You get my point. Linux is just different enough where if something breaks, and its something weirdly specific, its a lot of unknowns the user has to rapidly learn where they know these annoying troubleshooting things in Windows already. Linux does have really good forums and answers and documentation but its a learning curve regardless and that can be too much for a really casual user who doesn't have the time or will to follow through.

See I'd use Notepad++ if I was coding or doing any kind of actual file editing.

However, when I'm at work and need to take a phone call, the tabs in Notepad and the auto saving are literally game changing for me.

That being said I haven't bothered with the AI stuff in it at all, and it feels as usual, Microsoft doesn't stop when they have a Good Thing already, they keep pushing it beyond that point for their interests. And now we're left with not a basic editor but a personal assistant.

Long live Linux and freedom of choice.

I might actually suggest this to that relative. They're close to retirement and I believe are planning to put a percentage of their savings into BTC which has me apprehensive, but starting out with just $50 here and there to get a proper feel for it seems way less high stakes for learning.

I've got a close elderly family member who's recently gotten fixated on investing in crypto, watching all the YouTube videos on the subject.

I don't know enough about it to confidently say they're going to lose all their money, I've never looked into it because it just screams get rich quick scheme, but I don't have high hopes for them.

The resonator on my old car blew out and sounded obnoxiously loud for like a month, I felt like such a dork commuting it to work. I genuinely felt so happy to have it quietened again.

I'm probably not the first to point this out, and it's minor in comparison to everything else that administration is doing, but the wording is so insincere?

His heart goes out to all the Christians who loved Pope Francis, but he's not including himself in that or anyone else that wasn't Christian but still cared about him? A thoughts and prayers tweet would've been less awkward.

That's actually a valid point. I guess for me personally, I have a line somewhere between using a meme template (especially when it's actually used in such a relevant manner) over typing "Hey ChatGPT, make a meme about how a TV presenter says autistic people will never pay taxes with an autistic child watching, and in the next pane have said autistic child dance around happily with money flying around in the background"

That being said, that line is only of my personal preference and isn't really based on a hard logical rule.

To actually answer your question, it's likely this dinghy has an aluminum floor or structure, and that 'bollard' would be an anchor tie-off point.

I wouldn't know much more than that and I'm sure I've used some terms wrong, I just know that my father's Naiad dinghy is built this way.

The most egregious thing with pretty much all the AI memes I've seen so far has to be that it's not even that hard to find (or heck, piece images together to make) a meme template that would have worked with 5 minutes of effort.

It's nothing but fake eyecandy for a mediocre joke.

And what's the insinuation here, given that being told the instance admin is a woman your response was "That explains a lot"

I'm sure you get asked this a lot, but why is your username backwards?
