I grew up watching it. In the era of linear TV, even with cable we had maaaybe 2 or 3 other legitimate options for family TV time on that night, at that time. It was non-offensive (funny saying that about Trump now), family friendly, reality TV. I know it’s not everyone’s cup of tea, but it was well produced, and mindlessly entertaining.

Now, at the same time, while I understand for many people, “the apprentice convinced them he’s a business genius,” that’s SOOO frustrating. I completely agree with you about “his fucking stupidity.” I think the first few seasons, they cut it well to make him appear intelligent. However, as the show went on, I suspect he wanted more and more screen time, and that distracted from the actual show and that’s when we started to notice “his fucking stupidity” showing.

Wasn’t uefi a must already for windows 10 computers?

Nope, I’ve been running Win10 on multiple computers with a BIOS.

Atleast for win 11 it is.

AFAIK, UEFI isn’t technically a requirement. However, TPM 2.0 is, and that requires UEFI.

The effect to my life will be as miniscule as squishing an ant.

Assuming you’re an American, the effects will be HUGE. Our economies are sooo interdependent.

I think you’re on to something.

I also think there’s a difference in where the network effect kicks in for different types of social media. IMHO, Lemmy has just enough activity to not feel empty, and even then I wish there was more comments to interact with and more niche communities. With Pixelfed, I feel like as long as there’s enough interesting posts it makes sense for people to visit regularly.
