BladeFederation

I got Nvidia working but had to sign the drivers to get them to gel with Secure Boot. Hopefully won’t have to do that every major update but we’ll see.

Yeah, I do have to say that the Linux community has been improving though.

I tested Bazzite for a while, I liked it. I ultimately settled on Fedora KDE. I could see myself going back to Bazzite if I stop dual booting Windows for gaming and random programs. But…maybe by then I will have upgraded my GPU, and I’ll be going AMD if so, and there’s therefore less reason to go with Bazzite since I’ll have proper AMD drivers no matter what. I could also envision openSUSE Tumbleweed if I wanted to live more dangerously but not go with Arch-based.

I’ve never understood the Cachy hype tbh. Nothing against it, but if you’re going for user friendly Arch, Manjaro seems easier and has been around longer. And why hype Arch in general? Arch is Arch, but hyping it for new users is just a mistake. For moderate to experienced users, if you want to use Arch there’s a specific reason, you don’t need to be convinced. Does everyone just like feeling badass for picking hard mode?

That’s why I like it actually. It forces me to interact with the community, it’s more organic that way, and I need to eventually move in with my life instead of doom scroll. I get to the end and go “well that’s the end of the internet for a day or two”

My view is if he’s that open about it not being serious, I would be shopping around. Keep fucking him and hanging out in the meantime if you want. It’s not cheating if you’re not exclusive. But move on as soon as you can.

This is a little bit douchey with the wording but not entirely incorrect. Nintendo fans play Nintendo games, and that’s usually it. As much as they’ve gotten better at third party support, it’s cheaper to just buy a separate console or PC, which has games go on sale and have it run better. Rather than buying Witcher 3 running sub 30 FPS at full price years after release because Nintendo tax. But if you do that you’re not a “Nintendo guy”. You’re just really onto video games, so BoTW won’t surprise you.

Similar to how Apple repackages features. If you use Apple products you’re usually either a tech guy or an Apple guy. The tech guys have a healthy respect for Apple but don’t appreciate the repackaging and business practices. The Apple guys are impressed, because Apple facilitates being locked into their ecosystem, and therefore they’ve never seen it.

I can agree with that. As much as I’d prefer pressing the “delete all Ai in the world” button, it has some uses and doesn’t have to be predatory.

What is a code prettier?

This is crazy to me. I would have gone insane as a child if I couldn’t have imagined badass scenarios in my head when I was bored.

I don’t think “the left” needs to abandon religion. I have the left in quotes because most of the time we’re actually talking about progressives. And you can’t be progressive while dictating the beliefs of others. Leftism, however, benefits greatly from being united in belief. Unity is what it’s all about. But they don’t, because leftists are usually more progressives than anything else. Even when it happens, the hive mind mentality is what makes extreme leftism easy to fall apart and easy to slip into dictatorships at high population levels. And yet, we are approaching a post scarcity, post career having society, which demands socialism to some extent. But with a reliance on globalism. And bad foreign policy in place.

I don’t have an ultimate point in this I guess. I don’t know the solution, but it’s not stamping out religion and it’s not the reactionary fascism that America is a part of now.

I’m not saying it should happen. I’m just saying I’m surprised it isn’t constantly happening.

I think that this is good and all for a regular person end user that might want to use it for efficiency. But the main problem OP is stating is that there will be people who will not use it so ethically, and we may not have the ability to “opt out”, as it were.

Let’s gooooooo

Almost never. I lived in a bad neighborhood for too long, so I doubt that habit will change.

If this existed, it would prevent a lot of us from making the same mistakes as a species over and over and over.

“OH, eggs are more expensive due to the tariffs!”

It would explain a lot tbh.
