  • Why the Swedes love doing something that Americans hate

    Jump

  • Because Americans let movie stars and reality show con-men drive the train and idolize their asinine tomfoolery like it's a goddamn team sport. Garbage in garbage out. Why is this even a question, what the fuck. This shit is as obvious as hot pink wallpaper.

  • Evs make us reliant on lithium

    Oh no! No the third most abundant element in the universe! WTF are we gonna do? Use another metal with a large valency shell that makes it ideal as a dense storage medium for electrons? the horror

  • Imagine you are a machine. Yes, I know. But imagine you're a different kind of machine, one built from metal and plastic and designed not by blind, haphazard natural selection but by engineers and astrophysicists with their eyes fixed firmly on specific goals. Imagine that your purpose is not to replicate, or even to survive, but to gather information. I can imagine that easily. It is in fact a much simpler impersonation than the kind I'm usually called on to perform. I coast through the abyss on the colder side of Neptune's orbit. Most of the time I exist only as an absence, to any observer on the visible spectrum: a moving, asymmetrical silhouette blocking the stars. But occasionally, during my slow endless spin, I glint with dim hints of reflected starlight. If you catch me in those moments you might infer something of my true nature: a segmented creature with foil skin, bristling with joints and dishes and spindly antennae. Here and there a whisper of accumulated frost clings to a joint or seam, some frozen wisp of gas encountered in Jupiter space perhaps. Elsewhere I carry the microscopic corpses of Earthly bacteria who thrived with carefree abandon on the skins of space stations or the benign lunar surface—but who had gone to crystal at only half my present distance from the sun. Now, a breath away from Absolute Zero, they might shatter at a photon's touch. My heart is warm, at least. A tiny nuclear fire burns in my thorax, leaves me indifferent to the cold outside. It won't go out for a thousand years, barring some catastrophic accident; for a thousand years, I will listen for faint voices from Mission Control and do everything they tell me to. So far they have told me to study comets. Every instruction I have ever received has been a precise and unambiguous elaboration on that one overriding reason for my existence.

  • Zelenskyy thanks US after House passes aid bill

  • Why do folks who want to sound incredulous just sound like they're high as fuck?

    That'd be your inner narrative embellishing fucking reality with filigree and lace to fit your shit-ass perspective.

    Jim Jefferies said it best: "That's the problem with crazy people; they don't know they're crazy". Way to illustrate his insightful point by telling us you hear our voices in your head, dumbass.

  • It might be a commentary on critical thinking, who knows? Definitely not you!

  • Scientists push new paradigm of animal consciousness, saying even insects may be sentient

    Jump

  • It's self evident to anyone not plagued by speciesism, regardless of their feelings about animals; I don't think we ought to allow that much latitude to opt-out of the obvious moral consequences of this truth.

  • Microsoft wants to hide the 'Sign out' button in Windows 11 behind a Microsoft 365 ad

    Jump

  • You haven't really highlighted any of the linux advantages here.

    I wasn't really on that side quest, I'm only asserting it's (apparently) as easy as Windows is. If you don't see "not having to use windows" as an advantage, or if it's actually an impediment to your non-game-related computer use, that's totally fair; subjectivity is absolutely part of this. I'm just glad it all works for me in my life and that I'm lucky enough to be able to get to work on the platform I prefer.

  • So, literally every game I've bought on steam is playable on my Manjaro box.

    Additionally, a recent KDE6 upgrade messed up my config and necessitated a full system reinstall. After remounting the partition where my steam games were installed on in the old sys, they....just worked. Even the ones that don't cloud sync, saved games all there, DLC all there.

    I don't know how long reinstalling ~1TB of games would take on windows.... a lot? Pretty sure you have to fully reinstall them, not just "point steam to the drive where they live"

    Frankly I just don't see why people tolerate windows anymore. It's just laughably bad.

    No! Wait! (Lengthy pause)

    Use the axe to fuck the house, Israel AND the Orcs! Much better plan.

  • If it's public, graphic, and serves as an example of what these monkeys will do to one who hordes all the bananas, and deters subsequent occurrence of banana-hording; yes.

    The alternative is that we can all passively agree that all us monkeys must go extinct.

  • Rebase Supremacy

    Jump

  • Yes, that is another benefit, once you start getting muscle memory with the library. You start to parcel things by context a bit more. It's upped my habit of discrete commit-by-hunks, which also serves as a nice self-review of the work.

  • You're absolutely right. You should 100% stay on windows, where it all works the very first time and forevermore! I never see anyone posting about issues with that OS! Enjoy!

  • Well, bless your heart. I can remember when I used to mistake stuff like this as the want for people to talk with me; we're not so different after all.

  • The only issue I seem to have is when one of the frequent Nvidia drivers is updated I need to re-run flatpak update to pull updates manually, and occasionally I have to disconnect and reconnect the display cable or I get a hardware address issue. That's it. Oh and the beacons don't properly sleep/wake in Linux they just stay on.

    Never tried VR chat. I use VR and games to get away from people not closer 😂

    I'm sure there are pain points I'm glossing over, controller config I remember can be a pain, as most aren't developed with index in mind. In my mind these are artefacts of adopting any new technology before it's form factor is standardized and ubiquitous.

    So "perfectly" for me, now that I've come to know what it's prerequisites are.
