  • I've had 3 different graphics cards since 2009.

  • I have an nVidia RTX 3060, running on a desktop I built back in 2009. I'm running Linux Mint with the KDE Plasma desktop with no problems. All the Steam I bought on Windows, run with no problems under Linux.

    Any non-Steam games, like Giants: Citizen Kabuto or Deus Ex (1) run on Wine under the default settings with no problems.

  • Yup. It is long past time we got over our child-like worship of billionaires.

  • I think adopting Proton was the smartest thing Valve ever did. They are going to capture 90% of gamers switching from Windows to Linux.

  • I've been using SearX for over a year now. https://priv.au/

    It returns old-school, unranked results. It currently has at least 50 Instances you can choose from. https://searx.space/

  • Would I have just a regular tiger brain while I was invisible, or would I be a smart tiger?

  • UPC product labels, tied to your "rewards" number. And then, the list is printed on your receipt.

    That list is then shared with "interested third parties" and any concerns about your privacy is buried several pages downstream in the usage agreement for using the rewards card.

  • Many Linux distros have "live" versions that you can boot from without changing anything on your computer. If the live version detects your fingerprint sensor, it will detect it when you install it for real.

  • “I slipped on it, causing me to fall out of the tub completely head first and crack my shoulder on the hard floor.I got two fractures as a result.”

    You did NOT slip on your penis.

  • A peace prize for WHAT? Exactly?

  • If you're a minority, it doesn't matter how hard you suck up to Trump and his goons. They will never let you wear the snazzy Kommandant's uniform or get the best internal organs at the feeding frenzies. You're a useful idiot but they will never let you BE one of them.

  • And Trump is just going to screw him over anyway, bribe or no bribe.

  • An early AI was once asked, "Bob has a headache. What should Bob do?" And the AI replied, "Bob should cut off his own head."

    The point being: AIs will give you logical solutions to your problems but they won't always give you practical ones.

  • It's from a movie called "Paul" (2016). It's pretty funny.

    • "My friend Big Balls is a hero. I took this photo after Edward protected a young woman from an attempted carjacking by eight thugs near Dupont Circle," Elez wrote on X.*

    a) That never happened and b)

    "You know you're a grown man, right? Probably shave, pay taxes, have pubic hair?"

  • This. Don't come here for the Olympics. Don't come here for the World Cup. You could find yourself in a world of shiat for absolutely no reason at all. We've got some serious problems here, right now.

  • He refused to identify himself and then assaulted the resident. Why is the news calling him an "agent?" These guys don't have badges, don't wear uniforms, drive in unmarked vans and wear masks. They don't know WTF they are.

    Looks to me like a group of kidnappers.
