back around 2013 I was working on a school project, did the ol' get out my laptop without putting on my glasses bit, and ran "rm -rf" on the wrong folder because the characters sorta looked similar to my farsighted eyes.

Since I didn't make backups, that was a few weeks of work down the drain.

I love you sweetie 🥺

this is so based it sounds almost too good to be true

Unless it's Google hardware I don't really know what they could say. It would have been better for them to contact actual Chromebook manufacturers such as Lenovo, Acer, or Dell.

Its a stupid trend, but at the end of the day teenagers will do stuff like this no matter what generation you look at. I hope they can become educated to why this is bad and you shouldn't do it.

Where is her free speech?

If that is the case, I think she needs to get herself a roommate instead of doing this with strangers at the airport

I mean as cliche as this seems to be an an answer, I think the best solution is to not try them in the first place. You can't lose if you never play the game.

There are many valid reasons outside of a sitewide protest for a subreddit to go from public to private, so Reddit doing this is a scummy move on more than just one level. Just one more reason why free alternatives like lemmy are superior.

there is absolutely no excuse for this

Everyone else: goes to ikea for furnature and stuff like that

I've been able to run it on systems for years on end without them breaking, so it has lived up for me.

One big advantage of openSUSE Tumbleweed compared to other distros (especially rolling release ones) is it's package manager integrates with BTRFS snapshots so if something does break due to an update, you can roll back to a previous snapshot and still have a usable system and plan what to do next. One of the very few times that things actually broke in Tumbleweed for me (and many other users) I was able to roll back to a snapshot that wasn't broken, waited a few days, than updated to a release that wasn't broken.

Also, a more personal reason but I started with openSUSE (11.4 to be specific) back in 2011, so it's always felt like home whenever I use it.
