i switched from gboard to ThumbKey. Took some time to get used to, but now the usual qwerty/swipe keyboards seem inferrior to me. Like, swipe is cool and all, but only as long as the keyboard knows the word you’re looking for. As soon as you need to type out anything manually, it always turns into hell
i use cachyos, runs swimmingly for me. I’m not sure arch is good for your usecase tho.
Mediacenter/homeserver? I’d personally choose something like fedora, but debian sounds fine too
kde, hyprland and mangowc are working without issues for me on cachyos with gtx1660
i guess Nokia n900 kinda feels like a lost technology now, huh?
idk, i kinda think that nokia’s smartphones were peak technology (the og nokia, not what came after with microsoft buying them)
Some of them had linux before it was cool. I also kinda miss the formfactor of a smartphone with a keyboard.
Modern smartphones really lack in variability. Basically now, when choosing between comparable models of diferent vendors, you just choose whether you want qualcom or mediatek soc, and which vendor’s bloat you tolerate more. I really miss all the wacky experiments with formfactors and OSes
We got McBretten Wood system before gta vi
donations and commissions. That’s how modern artists operate, for example
that way we know we’re not in an echo chamber
well, it’s always much easier said than done, isn’t it:]
happens with the best of us. If anything, ability to change one’s opinion instead of blindly insisting on it is always an admirable quality. Vocalizing such fact takes an even greater resolve.
No matter how firm your belief was, you have my respect.
Thanks! I’m not used to hear any kind of appraisal, especially online, so i will admit, i do feel a bit awkward right now :D
I guess the Pharaohs actually did achieve some form of immortality…
Well, AFAIR, they did believe that as long as their name was spoken, they continued to live in the afterlife, didn’t they? They definitely were onto something
you’re stretching the term “slavery” beyond what is acceptable in the context of historical discussion.
The inequality is one of the core principles of society. And even if the society was magically equal, your freedom would end where other’s freedom would start.
Your definition of slavery is also quite useless simply due to the fact that everyone is a slave by your logic, as everyone has some kind of social obligation they are ought to fullfill, be it for the money or otherwise.
Egyptians didn’t have that choice tho
Do we tho? Not having to work is a privilege. Without a job you’ll most likely die a slow miserable death if you don’t have that privilege, as we no longer raise our food, collect our drinking water, or build our own houses. Not to mention, we still have to pay taxes.
By the way, according to what i heard, working on a pyramid construction was exactly the last case — a form of tax payment.
Anyway, considering that workers were well fed, receiving meat, beer and bread in greater quantities than any peasant of the day would dream of, as well as they had medical care for their conscription period, one might hypothesize that most people of the time would’ve jumped on an opportunity like that.
Your argument is neither constructive, nor it helps to represent reality better, let alone do so historically correct.
except those “slaves” didn’t have to bother about buying food, affording rent or paying up morgage, while still working only for a fraction of time that we do.
People in countries with conscript armies are slaves too, by your logic.
We’re far more enslaved than they ever were, especially if we’re talking about modern physical job workers.
Not to mention that “believe in my divinity or die” is more of a christian shtick. And people did believe in pharaoh’s divinity, as everybody percieved reality as magical at the time. It’s important to remember that rationalism and atheism are relatively new ideas, emerged the moment that people noticed that our new knowledge contradicts christian dogmatics.
And while slavery was a thing pretty much from the beggining of human civilisation, don’t think it was the same as colonial slavery. Colonial slavery is more akin to what nazis did, really. Not that its surprising, considering that both utilised more-less the same rhetoric.

Hunting a diaper
Is this some kind of catholic priest slang!?
ah yes, the “Americans”, the united meat obelisk of people that moans “Truuump” in its sleep.
it’s a bit more complicated. Linux runs games with anti-cheats perfectly fine as long as the anti-cheat doesn’t require kernel-level access.
Basically, this allows to detect some cheats that would be undetected otherwise. But it also allows anti-cheats for absolutely unrestricted access to any user data. In other words, it’s a giant safety vulnerability, that you’re forsed to intall, that still doesn’t solve the cheating problem.
Not like the devs are actually interested to solve anything anyway, cheaters buy new accounts regularily, stimulating post-release sales.
