  • I have windows installed for some work-related stuff still, but I can’t use it because windows decided it doesn’t want to connect by wifi and I’m not gonna buy more hardware to just maybe get windows to be functional. Linux just works with it without having to mess with drivers, install software, etc. Also my work laptop won’t connect to my bluetooth headset anymore after an update, so I have to connect it to my phone and then use AudioRelay to have wireless audio on my laptop. If just one

    Meanwhile linux problems are mostly just companies not wanting to support linux, so finding workaround to get their software to run or finding alternative software that works.

    Although Talarico had welcomed her to the primary and said “we will always treat Crockett with the utmost respect,” McShay said she wanted him to come down harder against online posters’ vitriol.

    Richard said in July that he will likely vote for Talarico, but he wanted to see more of him to answer a boiled-down question: “Are you for us?” The answer would not necessarily change his vote, but it could spark an enthusiasm that he said would push him to attend rallies and talk up Talarico to his friends and church colleagues.

    Richard and his wife, both in their 70s, lived through the Civil Rights Movement, the Voting Rights Act and the politicians who touched down in their neighborhoods just long enough to fix the cracks in the street ahead of an election, returning only when it was time to vote again.

    Now, they said, there are food deserts and food swamps — a glut of fast-food restaurants — and thefts at the grocery store. Their son was pulled over for no clear reason, and police sat him down in wet grass. When someone calls in hazardous tree limbs or problems with sewage or running water, Richard said, “no one comes out for days, for months.”

    “And so, you know, our concern is about our people,” he said. “We’re looking for the candidate that’s going to at least meet us halfway, at least listen to us.”
