  • I could use a little advice on upgrading my machine without spending too much money

    Jump

  • Don't upgrade unless you're going for motherboard, RAM and CPU upgrade.

    Buying RAM today is pricey so I'm not sure if it's possible to upgrade on a lean budget. A used combo of the three might be available though at a decent price.

  • A lot of screw driver heads started like this.

  • Sometimes I forget how awesome Linux Gaming is

    Jump

  • And also the HDMI people since they don't allow drivers that use their official specs to be open source. So to use HDMI 2.1 you have to install a proprietary closed source driver.

    They could do it by having a post install blob add-on though so we can blame Nvidia for not putting in the effort.

  • How do you deal with spending money for (unnecessary) luxuries?

    Jump

  • I'm really bad at spending stuff on myself also. I like prioritising paying back loans, buying stock and so on since it pays itself back later on.

    The way I look at it is that the less I spend on luxuries the less I have to work (currently and in retirement) so I don't feel weird about it.

    Another rule of thumb is to delay purchases by 3 months and it doesn't set back your financial goals. If you've been wanting this Macbook now for 3 months and you have the money for it and you feel comfortable with your current financial situation I'd tell you to get it. If it's an expensive car it's a financial catastrophy usually so don't get it even if you've wanted it for 3 months.

    No idea if that helps but don't feel weird about being frugal. Frugality is incredibly useful and can set you up for an easy life.

  • Memory is running out, and so are excuses for software bloat

    Jump

  • I should learn C because of Unga Bunga reasons. I fully agree that lower RAM usage is better and cache misses are absolute performance killers but at the company I'm at there's just no time or people or scale to do anything remotely close to that. We just lazy load and allow things to slowly cost more RAM while keeping the experience nice.

  • "Mature ecosystem" it's called in JS land.

    I wish nodejs or ecmascript would have just done the Go thing and included a legit standard library.

  • Memory is running out, and so are excuses for software bloat

    Jump

  • As a programmer myself I don't care about RAM usage, just startup time. If it takes 10s to load 150MB into memory it's a good case for putting in the work to reduce the RAM bloat.

  • Do you preorder games?

    Jump

  • No, I wait 3 years usually. All bugs fixed, everything works, mods in great shape and price down 50%. Plenty of games older than 3 years also and much lower hardware requirements.

    I made an exception for Elden Ring last time but that's about it.

  • My mom says that people who don't have "value" don't deserve to live and that "depression" is just an excuse for laziness. What's is your rebuttal for it?

    Jump

  • Can't ban chemtrails but you can reduce contrails which play a weirdly large part in warming up the planet irrespective of fuel consumed.

    Just putting the word out for an underrated climate thingy.

  • Have you ever tried to "acquire" a taste? (Ie. spent time eating/imbibing something you didn't like at first to start to enjoy it.)

    Jump

  • Coffee and beer, my two favorite drinks

  • I made the switch last night and am still a bit shocked at how well it went

    Jump

  • Yeah Adobe just doesn't play ball with Linux but there are people that have used it successfully on Linux though.

  • rule

    Jump

  • 100% agree, the c, k, s, ch situation is horrible in English when there are plenty of examples of doing it properly all across Europe. ch as č, ç for c that makes an s sound in case it's in front a or u like Portuguese.

    I don't have issues with English spelling personally and I like how it looks but I see it as one of the least intuitive languages to spell. Letters are silent, double, triple or quadruple duty all over with tons of exceptions. I think English could really use some diacritics like ğ, ç, š for denoting when a letter does not follow a clear and simple rule like "presšure", "thouğh" and "façade".

    But yeah, there's no forcing anything anyway ever, it's all organic evolution but now we don't have a bunch go lazy monks trying to save pen strokes to advance the writing system further.

  • I'm from Iceland and we have these letters and I think it does make some sense. English spelling is not very good and the alphabet needs some additions and simplification. These are happening today but very slowly most notably in American English but I'd like to see some development.

    Þorn is a great letter, I þink it makes sense as a replacement for th like it was historically used. Adding in þe ð is overkill in my opinion since it's very þese sounds are already represented wiþ þe þorn.

    You can still see it in "Ye old whatever" where þe Y is actually a Þ after a lot of iterations. It was always pronounced as a "th" sound.

  • Yeah, I love reading these and I've been using Linux for 8 years. I recommend Linux regularly and I want to know enough about new people's experiences to know what questions to ask.

    Do you use Photoshop? Do you have modern hardware or fancy monitor? What GPU?

    Good thing we can all boot up TempleOS and find the answers we seek. 🙏

  • Heritage Foundation openly calls for end of European Union

    Jump

  • I would love to hear a single policy from the heritage foundation that's actually a good idea.

  • I see, it's about flying under the radar if you're up to something illegal. That makes a lot of sense for something like having weed in the car.
