So, a bank said, staying home didn’t prevent a contagious disease from spreading… And you didn’t question that? You were like ‘the money people said so’ and that was good enough…

I mean if you wanted to argue it didn’t work because people didn’t listen and didn’t do the lockdown and went out… That just means people are selfish pricks, not that the science wouldn’t have worked. How do you not piece that together? A bunch of MAGA morons yelling ‘my freedoms’, is largely why it kept going. You trusted a bank over the CDC. Fucking wild.

So, what’s your position on people who cover their mouth when they cough/sneeze? Do you like, spread your “underground” news with them? That surgeons only wear all that stuff because it’s a Big Pharma scam? There’s so much out there, countless videos people made showing how masks help prevent the spread of disease, not just Covid, in case you thought somehow Bill Gates 5G microchips were like, specific.

Which Fox News/far right extremist “underground” source you listen to on the daily? I wanna know which sound bites you like to repeat like a parrot, but pass off as your own.

This statement doesn’t actually give a clear picture. It’s doesn’t explain why.

It’s the windows fan curve more aggressive?

What programs were being ran?

What was the actual fan speed?

What was the actual temp?

What was the exact version of Windows/Linux?

We’re these ‘experiments’ ran in the same hardware under the same conditions.

You can choose to be LTT and just say whatever and pass it off as fact, or you can be GN and back it up with highly detailed facts.

I didn’t understand this connection

Now there’s a bit of software I haven’t thought about in a long time

I don’t really want to get into it, but, we have campaigns that actively target people who smoke and/or drink. Two other things that people can indulge in that can and will eventually lead to negative health effects and kill you, much like overeating will.

My job I’m classified as remote. And I like it that way. Recently they have decided that a bunch of people even if remote will now have to come on site at least hybrid. For “collaboration”. I even noted that in my employment contract I had in there that I was to work from home, to which HR said that they really don’t care.

My last year-end review was stellar. Top marks, praises from multiple departments, even got a promotion.

But I happen to live to close to a location, so there’s ‘simply nothing that can be done’. So I’ve already started looking for different work.

Cool, cool, cool … They going to ban pork products and all shellfish too? Or are we cherry picking here… Seems like it be right blasphemous to be cherry picking…

Honestly I can make a whole list.

I think we’re only ever see a new engine once Todd is no longer part of the company. Because the quote him out of context ‘it just works’

They had a turd. They polished it up a little. It’s still the same turd.

Their ‘modern’ engine is only modern to them, but it’s pathetically behind everyone else. I can only imagine the spaghetti code that thing is at this point.

Yeah quality of the brand really matters. Samsung makes some of the worst appliances. And older appliances really were just built better in many cases.

Ya know, I hadn’t even thought of that until I read your comment. Because there’s gift cards for damn near everything. But a ‘gift card’ for a hospital… That is weird.

To downplay these differences and claim that all distributions are the same is ignorant. Anyone who wants to get the most out of Linux should be aware of the wealth of options available.

That’s the definition of not being user friendly. And it’s not like shoes. Because trying on a pair of shoes takes minutes, at a store that generally has hundreds of shoes available. And shoes literally do one thing. Your average user does not have nor want to spend nights and weekends troubleshooting the distro they’re ‘trying out’ to see if it works best, then to continue troubleshooting it down the road.

But I do like how you ignored a lot of what of what I said, because it didn’t fit your response. Because unlike you apparently, I think of people besides myself. You also make wild assumptions about me. Should I show you my RHEL installation? CentOS? My Debian servers… I have dedicated hardware and VMs. And I also run Windows. Do I get to have an argument now… do I pass your weird gatekeeping threshold?

And that’s still not addressing the circle jerk where far to many people put linux on some pedestal, worship it, and assume their better than everyone because “btw, I use arch”. Like every distro isn’t going to try to milk as much money out of it as they can if they think they can get away with it. Ubuntu is the most approachable distro (that I’m aware of) and often gets suggested, especially to new uses. Linux is not immune to the problems that plague MacOS or Windows.

Honestly, that really didn’t impress me much. Not a hard no, more of a wait and see sort of game.

Perfect Dark on the N64 was my favorite game on that console. Combat was great and the story kept me engaged. For me, it was the best N64 game.

From what they decided to show, outside the name this didn’t have any elements I would expect. Doesn’t mean it’s a bad game right out of the gate.

I firmly disagree. Apple will say one thing but do another. But it looks like their PR dept is doing good work.

That’s not a valid argument.

So someone looking to buy a new machine has a few options. They have MacOS, Windows, Chromebook, or Linux. And there’s a high probability that when they’re at a shop be it online or in person looking for a Linux machine it’s probably going to be Ubuntu.

You don’t get to tell the user, “well you picked the wrong distro, lol” when all they wanted was something that runs the software and hardware they want. The vast majority of users want something that just works, not have to become some expert.

And also, it’s rather dismissive, I show an example of Linux doing the same thing that Apple and Microsoft do… Ubuntu is still Linux.

So… Based on some quick searches, this translates to 0.15 millimeter. Which based on some other quick searches… It’s visible to the human eye.

So that’s terrifying.

You mean like Ubuntu , who put adds in as well.

This is status quo for every large corporation. Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, EVERY SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORM, Roku… They all, ALL, push boundaries to see what they can get away with to not only sell you something, but also make you the thing they sell. Sometimes they’re bold enough to make it public what they’re doing, sometimes, it’s a leak that happens when people find out how little the company actually cares about it’s users (Apple, so many user data leaks).
