Best movie that takes place in an office ever is Office Space! 2nd best I'd say would be 9 to 5 with Dolly Pardon. As far as TV shows, well obviously, its gonna have to be The Office with Steve Correl. I get such a kick out of Dwight Chrute, he's my favorite lol.

I booted up my computer with Zorin on it. I saw software updater popped up. I went to install updates. Believe it or not, updates completed but, while updating, I did click on DETAILS.
And I saw a bunch of firmware not supported, like you were talking about. Again, updates still went through, but I thought that was kind of odd. I am like, how could 64-bit dual core not be supported in firmware support?
Makes no sense, I know that old 32 bit support is gone, but since mine is 64 bit, that don't apply to me.
Is there an alternative to Facebook that is more open source friendly?

He was talking about me from a few years ago.... LMAO
As for FB. I've never signed up. Also never tweeted, insta-whatever...
No social media at all (with the exception of me-we because my mommy asked
over and over. And no one in my family even signs onto it...lol)
Social media has far too much negativity for my liking.
I'm content just complaining about the lite release..lol
And with such good people on this forum, why would I need something else?

I came off FB and deleted my account.
I tend to use Telegram now, but try to restrict to groups where I know the people in real-life.

I don't do social media of any kind, I find it all pointless. I guess one could say you gotta really know people to make social medial work, like a network of friends you know in real life. Technically, Facebook was founded on the same way, but network with real life family, but over a net connection.
But when you have nobody to talk to, no friends in real life, no family members left, well, it makes all that social media junk fairly pointless. Usually its kids who go to school and make friends, are the ones who get the largest use out of social media.
Twitter, Instagram, their pointless too, cause again, it requires knowing people. And Instagram is perhaps the biggest fake of them all. Its a giant look at me platform. Everybody rates you based on how good that people think you are.
Basically, Instagram instills fake validity in people, and feeds on the pride of other's to further its true goals. Turns out Instagram specifically has been involved in making girls commit suicide, and they have even admitted it.
Its as its already been said here, social media, is nothing but negativity. But it feeds on negativity, just as the daily news does for TV. They know that negativity sells. If they can get your view, then they earn however much monitization they can off of you.
Twitter is just more of the text version of Instagram, but its the same sort of thing. I even find it odd that nobody is in Fear of Discord. Its popularity has been increasing at alarming levels. Because of its success, everybody wants to buy them, including Microsoft.
I believe the last reported networth of Discord was like 15 billion dollars now. So, its clear that Discord is very lucrative, and thats why big companies want to buy them out. They see the dollar signs, cause at the end of the day, people who are using Discord, well, I hate to break it to ya, but your being stooped like Windows users.
How do you think that Discord has grown so fast to be a 15 billion dollar worth company in only what 6-years now? Thats cause their mining your data! And thats why companies like Microsoft are really interested. They want more data, and they know once they purchase Discord, they can have it all.
The real truth behind social media, is its huge corporations way of getting to know you, build up a profile on you, then control you with it. As the AI continues to get smarter and smarter, they to will manipulate you more and more.
Humanity is already known as a race of zombies these last several years, its only going to get worse. So ya, I think our forum is a lot better place then social media for sure.

2 suggestions: both are completely free speech platforms.
Parlor - similar Insta.
Google, FB, Apple and Amazon grouped together and ganged up on them to try to "remove" them from the internet permanently last year when they became the #1 social media app download on Google ... and anything the evil corps attempt to stomp out is something that clearly empowers the people.
Gab.com - is almost identical to FB, (warning: it is very, very right winged) However, according to web sources, they are gaining approx 1 million users a day!

Free speech including off topic posts? Or do they flag posts for off topic where people are just having a little fun?
I apologize if that offended you. However, I hope you can see my side in that I don't know you and couldn't hear the intonation of the voice behind your post. I had no idea what you were talking about and didn't catch any humor in it. I thought you were being serious, or were trolling me. It creeped out, tbh. So, yes. I flagged it.
Your username is Tink. Only Tink I know is in the Matrix. Figured you'd know the matrix with that username. So yeah, well, I'll be leaving now. I think my time here is done. I wish you good luck on here.

Tank? I don't remember a "Tink" in the Matrix movies. I would have thought of "Tinkerbell", actually.
It is interesting, speaking of social media, that in being social, we must remember where to draw the lines in humor between friends and between strangers. Or as the comedians would say, "know your audience."

I realize now I remembered his name wrong. It has been awhile since I've seen the movie. Anyways, this site and I are not getting along lately. Tried to give it a go, but it's not working out. This site can't handle me. And I can't handle it. So, I'm leaving again. I think it's best. Good luck guys. May you find happiness here, or wherever you seek it.
No need to go! It's totally okay. You explained why you said what you did. It's not a big deal or a deal breaker. Your heart was in the right place and you had good intentions... that's what matters.
It was simply a miscommunication (and a "Tink" "Tank" mix-up is all - which is actually funny). Shake it off and let's keep going. Your contributions here are important and welcome!

I don't know the extent of all the on goings on here. However, I don't want this forum to become divisive, or like social media. Which is ironically a topic lately in some of these threads..
@Tink, I've "known" @StarTreker for several years on this site. He has always been extremely helpful whenever he can. I personally also enjoy his humor. Sometimes when struggling for a fix, reading some of his post can put that smile on your face and help you refocus. Speaking for myself, he is a vital part of the fabric that creates an awesome forum. I only ask that when 'flagging' someone, you know the real intentions of the post. Not just the 'how you perceive it to be'.
We all know when reading written word, it can be interpreted by the individual reading it incorrectly, depending on that persons frame of mind at the time.
StarTreker is, what can be called, a good egg. I say a Darn Good Egg.
I could easily see myself if we lived close, sitting at a coffee house and him
showing me some cool stuff he just done on his laptop. All the while explaining step by step how he did it.
I hope this issue gets resolved, people step up, do the right thing and we ALL can move forward together. We can then focus on Lite not being released yet and forget this ever happened...lol Where's Lite??? C'mon man...

It must be pointed out that this is true in reverse, as well.
A flag does not mean that your post proves you to be the devil.
It means only that someone has concerns about it and is seeking clarification without directly creating a Thread Confrontation. In this way, a flag is a very useful tool.
The Moderator Team on here was assembled specifically of members that show good critical thinking skills and observational skills. This is to ensure that if a post is flagged, it is carefully deliberated, not reacted to.
Present speaker excluded, of course.
This way a third party not personally invested in it can review it with a cool head.
So, if you get Flagged, don't sweat it. Don't assume the intentions of the flagger and the vast majority of flags result in a PM in your inbox basically saying, "Is everyone Ok?"
Flagging is a good thing. It allows a person to take action without making a reaction. To open up understanding and stronger communication. It allows users to hit one Button to resolve an issue, instead of each-others buttons.
Do Not Fear The flag.
Just fear me.
