Bazzite was my first and was great and easy. If you don’t like the immutable aspect, check out Garuda.

Why learn the language of a second world country when you can learn the language of a first world country?

Kidding/not kidding

We learn who we are and what we want by trying different things. If you aren’t sure about something, try it. And it’s ok to discuss it in advance to set guidelines or expectations if you need to.

The one thing that’s non negotiable is respect. If you invest time in someone you don’t really respect, eventually that time ends up wasted.

If you have trouble trusting, start small. Lay your head on her lap while you watch a movie or something.

I think you are getting too caught up in their stating “1995”. Video game graphics had already improved a lot by then. By talking about “pixelated” they probably really mean mid to late 80s technology. Heck, even in 1995 they were still using digital video disks the size of records.

When you compare that to the amount of memory in video game consoles, they had to keep things simple and couldn’t afford to go fill professional digital audio.

I think people may be missing a big factor in their replies. The graphics and audio on video games is digital, but music and video used in the rest of the world had been maturing for quite some time as analog.

Think about a record, you are capturing the vibrations of the noise directly into physical media. Digital requires translating that somehow into a pattern of 1s and 0s, and at the beginning, we just weren’t that good at it and memory chips were just painfully small at that time.

Roboburbilbear!

I’m mad, but what? Once we pull out the guillotines there’s no going back, so right now I’m hoping that checks and balances thing starts to kick in soon.

The burp let’s you know it’s working, and who couldn’t benefit from extra hydration?

Bazzite was my first first into Linux. I loved it overall, the thing that eventually made me switch was that the login screen background was locked behind immutability. It’s stupid, but matters to me. I’m on Garuda now and it has been great too.

No one is surprised by this headline. How depressing is that?

Next week in the news, Indian customer service phone bank companies shutting down as they are replaced by AI!

I think the judge decides the penalty after the jury decides on guilt.

I tried Bazzite as my first try with Linux for a while and liked it; it was super easy. I didn’t like that the immutability went so far as to lock me out of some parts of the OS that I thought should be open, like lock screen customization.

Now I am on Garuda Arch and it has been really easy too.

A person killing another person. People will mourn him. I guarantee someone is crying over this, a child, a parent, a lover. If you can’t see that side of it at all you need to take a step back and think about your humanity.

But as a system… It’s a different story. Sometimes things have to break before change happens, and afterward, people are likely to just think about it in terms of a beneficial change, not the people who didn’t survive the conflict.

If you look at it at the individual level, of course it’s a tragedy.

At the systematic level though, big change historically almost always includes death, and at the end people everywhere celebrate the successful revolution with very little thought to those sacrificed to get it.

I’ll just add, next time, find a group of women and attach yourself to them as soon as you feel unsafe. If this was a predator you are just doing him a favor by isolating yourself and leaving a public area. You want to be sure you are decreasing your anonymity, not increasing it.

Maybe it’s a numerology thing?

It sounds to me like the founding fathers didn’t mention software piracy because they felt it shouldn’t be regulated by the government.

Do you eat a lot of garlic? That’s what gets me.

Jokes on you Microsoft, I recently ditched windows.

I always loved the “do uncontacted remote tribes that haven’t heard of God or Jesus go to heaven?” question. So far everyone has answered yes. And then you realize that Christians could save everyone, everywhere, forever, just by destroying all their literature, not teaching religion, and letting it die with them. One sacrificial generation and everyone is saved forever.

But they won’t do it because of greed and pride, the core aspects of their belief system.
