Reddit is a soulless corporation that only wants to make money. Like a vampire, but money instead of blood. But if you drove a stake through the heart of reddit’s CEO and board members, you’d go to jail for some reason. Unless the jury was super cool and nullified.
Windows sure is bad, though I haven’t seen an actual blue-screen in years. That’s some foul luck.
I would give them a chance to divest before guillotining. But someone having that much money is disgusting. You know what you could do with that? You know how much was stolen from how many people to acquire that? That’s disgusting.
Look at this “wealth to scale” website https://mkorostoff.github.io/1-pixel-wealth/?v=3
In case you lost sense of how big these numbers are.
But at least we agree that some billionaires should be hung.
So many people are sitting on their hands going “Violence is never acceptable”.
I think I ate a 3 day ban on one of the communities for making a joke about guillotining billionaires. Bunch of bootlicking cowards. I get not wanting to go and do some murder on your own, but come on.
I think americans, or at least american conservatives, are too stupid to learn.
I was just reading about a conservative tax plan in Kansas ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kansas_experiment ) that by pretty much all metrics failed. Yet somehow they aren’t run out of town.
Would you rather reach in and pick an item from
Sack 1, which contains [rusty nails, angry scorpions, razor blades, one fun sized candy bar]
Sack 2, which contains [various candy bars, one rusty nail]
The US is sack 1 in this metaphor. People should improve the canadian system, but there’s no reasonable take that they’re at all similar
Pray to Saint Luigi for help
The laws exist because people wrote them. They can change. But some people would rather die than live in a more equitable world.
I turn it off every night when I’m done. It boots quickly and I mostly just use it for the web browser and steam.
My work computer (Mac) I put to sleep because I don’t always want to open all the terminals and IDE and such every time.
Nvidia 4070 super.
I don’t remember the other details off the top of my head. Discord had me run sudo apt install linux-image-oem-24.04b and that fixed the Ethernet. They didn’t really explain details, though. Maybe there were more things to do, but I didn’t get more responses so I was on my own.
I think people over value emotions, but I realize I’m part of people too and it happens to me. Emotions are a fast heuristic but they’re not very inaccurate. They’re good for when speed is important, or when more information isn’t available. Neither is true on an async post about Linux. But yes, I can be dismissive of emotions but it’s something I’m working on.
I’ve seen too many people make strange, unhelpful, decisions because like “someone told me to do something and now I won’t” or “that guy was rude so I’m not going to listen”. That’s what your post felt like to me. (Note the emotional dimension there, heh)
Like, imagine a friend who always forgets their plans, is late, and double books themselves. You probably can’t just be like “use a calendar, dude”. You probably have to gently massage them and incept the idea. If you just tell them, they’ll feel bad, reject the idea, and continue having problems. (In real life, some months later the friend did come around to using a calendar, but only after uselessly wrestling with feeling bad)
So far this has been the smoothest installation of a Linux OS I have ever done.
Envy. I tried to install mint last night on a new computer, and it was a shit show.
I did learn you can tether your phone via USB, so I got Internet that way. That was cool.
But after I got Internet working, with help from discord, elden ring and Baldur’s gate 3 both failed to launch in different ways.
I gave up. Windows11 is horrible.
I’m on Mint. It only offered up to version 550 and veilguard needed 565, if I recall
https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=433321 was more or less my problem.
I could only find “beta” drivers that were new enough to run Veilguard, which was annoying. I had to add some other ppa thing. Not a big deal, but would scare off some users.
You did come off as someone who reacts only on emotion, since that’s all that was visible in your previous post.
Being put off by the delivery of information is not typically a good reason to dismiss it. If someone says to you “3 is a prime number you donkey” you’re hopefully not going to reject that because they were rude. I mean, we all do that to some extent, but it’s a pretty sloppy shortcut.
I switched to linux because Windows10 is going EoL, and my hardware is ineligible for Windows11. It’s been fine, once I got it set up. There wasn’t any single thing that pushed me over the edge. I just had a free weekend and I knew I had to do it eventually.
I really wanted the install to be smooth so I could tell everyone how great it was. It was not. Somehow it borked itself, and I couldn’t boot from the usb stick a 2nd time until after I manually edited a file on it. Then installer hung on the last step, and I couldn’t find any answers other than “Use the previous LTS”. At least that worked.
I always find it puzzling when adults act like “You told me to do a thing so now I don’t want to do it” or “You said a thing that’s true, but in a way that made me feel bad so I refuse to accept it”. What’s going on in there?
Related question, do you think in words or feelings? Some people have a whole inner monologue, and some people do not. Some people think in pictures, or just wordless impulses.
If there’s going to be fantasies about murder, can his whole posse go out?
Where would you lay the blame?
And how is that hypothetical response “intellectually dishonest”?
I thought we had all reached consensus that style is more important than realism. And you can do style without mega hardware.
On the other hand, the fidelity in bg3 I think added something to it. I don’t think it would have been the same experience if they were simple sprites like the original games. Is it worth all the hardware? Maybe.
That sounds really tricky to implement.
There are so many ways to mislead, sometimes not even intentionally or maliciously. Like, is the passive voice going to have to go? There’s a difference between like “Man killed after interaction with police” and “police fatally shoot man”
I’m inclined to agree with your intent, I think, but I don’t know how to implement it
