It’s quite incredible how much one can manage to post when it’s your full time job

I know why engiseers do what they do. I had to perform my own rituals to appease the machine spirit to run my favorite game on ps2.

yeah yeah, we get it, you have forgiving mothers, nice humble brag.

Matrix today, put on the headset!

I’ve heard “wallet warrior” been thrown around in gaming communities for people who just pay for high end accounts without having any skill to back it up.

Well, if it’s a “normal” touchscreen laptop, I think most Linux distros have support for it out of the box.

If you have a bit of patience. What you could do is simply install Linux on an external drive (usb stick works fine if its large enough) connected to your laptop.

That way you can freely try what works without messing anything up until you’ve decided.

You might want to be more specific than that… but im running Debian on a Microsoft Surface and It’s great. You will need to follow a tutorial on how to install it though. It’s a bit more technical than your average Linux installation

We cook our food to kill bacteria.

Ever wondered why domesticated animals tend to become much older than wild animals?

Carbon is no longer an element and doesn’t exist.

Remember how Elon was very keen on limiting Starlink for Ukraine.

That makes a lot more sense now doesn’t it.

In the “wild west” days there was a certain “terrorists handbook” circulating with detailed instructions on how to make all sorts of things.

I’m very happy that sort of thing isn’t easily available to everyone anymore.

Trolling then and “trolling” now are just not the same. The meaning behind the word has evolved to mean something malicious. Trolling back then meant more like a practical joke. Like telling a noob alt+f4 will give them buffs in a game.

But you’re trying to compare a time where the internet had few million of users rather than a few billion ones.

Oh, and people got banned ALL THE TIME before too. I don’t know if you remember mud’s or IIRC. But I do. Banning annoying people was very common. Certainly ain’t nothing new. Behave or gtfo.

There are multiple words that describe numbers.

Couple, pair, and two are all words that describe the number 2.

I can’t say it better than weird al https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Gv0H-vPoDc

Unfortunately, I’ve had plenty of conversations here with people who think exactly this.

So yes, there are people who literally think this.

Not about that. They have some misguided notion that Russia stands for some imaginary form of communism that is the answer to everything.

And everything bad in the world is because of Capitalism. And also, everything west of Russia is “The west” and the entire “the west” is one entity.

It’s a .ml community. What did you expect?

I installed Debian on it. Works great, sometimes the rotation is iffy but my surface also only has 4gb of ram. Either way, it runs way better on Debian than windows

Are people really ok with this?

What are you gonna do about it?

They do check testosterone levels for men in every single sport that checks for doping. Abnormal levels is indicative of doping.

But they do, do the same for men. They test men’s testosterone. It’s part of the anti-doping protocol.

If someone is found with abnormal levels, it can be indicative of doping, and doping by increasing testosterone is quite common. Most people know it by the name of “steroids”
