Once you have mint growing in your garden/yard

you will never not have mint growing in your garden/yard/neighbors yard.

I love how the mint just spreads from your yard to your neighbor’s yard.

Is there something I missed?

I knew I’d heard of a site that did this already. Couldn’t remember the name, though. Thanks!

It wouldn’t allow me to upload the gif.

If the bus is supposed to arrive every 15 minutes, is the bus 5 minutes early or 10 minutes late?

(TIL Lemmy doesn’t support gifs in comments.)

The last time I had to setup a Windows profile (late last year on my then-new laptop), that was the case. Has that changed?

Being forced to be online to log in and forced use of OneDrive confuses new users just as much

You’re not forced to use either of those, IIRC. Just set it up without connecting to the internet or without signing in.

I just subscribed to Kagi to try it out.

I installed Mint on a USB to give it a go.

My wifi driver doesn’t work on it. I have to plug my phone in to use it as a tethered hotspot to get it to connect. And I tried what a lot of the guides said online. Nothing.

I’d say I have the technical chops. I just don’t have the time and energy needed to try to fix something.

I’m also the kind of person that, if everything’s not working exactly the way I want it to, then I need to fix it right now. So I know I’d waste hours trying to fix something that (for me) just works on Windows.

To be fair, at least with Windows, if you do a reinstall I’ve always found that it never runs quite like it used to. I’ve sometimes had to deal with some weird quirks afterwards. A friend of mine who kept switching between Google Android and open-sourve Android on his phone said the same thing. Every time he reinstalled Google Android, it simply wouldn’t run as well as it did beforehand.

It’s like taking a plumbing pipe out and putting it back in. Or taking apart a car engine and putting it back together. It never quite fits together the way it used to anymore.

I think the Japanese use them when they’re quoting something. I could be wrong, though.

When I was setting up my new computer late last year, OneDrive wanted to sync everything in my user folders to OneDrive. No idea why. I knew it’d never fit everything anyway. To get it to stop, I had to create a brand new user account without a Microsoft account attached, move everything over to the new account, and delete the old account.

Now, I only have OneDrive sync my college stuff (homework, projects, notes, PowerPoints, etc.). Nothing else syncs to OneDrive. I backup my PC using a program called Backblaze instead.

They update on two Tuesdays a month

Correction: It updates every second Tuesday of the month. (Not including any potential “Preview” updates which might get released. Those are all optional updates, though.)

Yeah, but it’s almost always used for animations. Seeing one that’s not animated just feels… weird.

That’s… a great question. What’s the purpose of a gif with only one frame?

I’d also like to plug ReVanced. You do have to provide your own copy of the YouTube APK (easily downloadable from APKMirror), but it allows you to install multiple patches into the app, including Return YouTube Dislike, SponsorBlock, and other stuff. It allows background play and blocks ads, too. (You can see the list of available patches here.)
