SC is a scam. Of course they’re willing to break the law to keep the money they stole.

We are going to burn the planet to make a shitty chat bot.

On Mint, you troubleshoot the wifi antenna following a guide once and then you’re done. On Bazzite you probably just needed to click to change to X11 instead of plain Plasma, on the login screen. I would bet money that you have an Nvidia GPU. Sometimes Nvidia breaks the drivers support on Wayland. They intentionally neglect it in order to keep your kind of mentality around.

On Windows, MS is going to eventually fix the workarounds so you can’t update your computer anymore.

How is having to apply workarounds to keep windows working on old machines any different from troubleshooting the occasional linux issue? It’s a rethorical question, the difference is that the workaround on Windows is mandatory while the Linux troubleshoot is nowadays rare and usually related to edge cases.

Some of the workarounds in this article are far more involved and convoluted than what I’ve ever had to do in 15 years of linux. Some are even dangerous for system stability and security. My very recent install of bazzite in a new laptop has been a perfectly out of the box it just works experience. Not even having to open the terminal. 100% friendly GUI without compromising flexibility, power and customizability. Today, suggesting linux with a solid desktop environment like KDE plasma is just foolproof. The end user will be using exactly the same knowledge and habits of Windows, without the harassment machine that is MS now. The change is not learning a new OS, is just switching a few assumptions on how some advanced things work.

It’s latin. Pause literally means stop in latin.

The SDK was never FOSS, and was never under the GPL. Hence why they can add the text mentioned in the article. You don’t get to change the text of a FOSS license to begin with. It isn’t unheard of for text like this to be part of proprietary software that integrates with and uses FOSS that are under different licenses.

That said, this is concerning, but whether it changes BW’s FOSS state is a matter of legal bickering that has been going on for decades.

A graphic designer friend who taught Photoshop literacy always said that any idiot can use graphic design software. The technical skills for using an app or piece of software have not been an obstacle for a long time. Knowing a piece of software, no matter how advanced or simple, doesn’t make someone a good designer, not even knowing it really well. There are technical elements that are actually agnostic to software, like composition, balance, communication, symbology, color theory, etc. But more importantly, and what they usually spent the most time on, it’s also a matter of taste. Like with music, taste plays a very important role in good design. Sort of like drawing, with enough practice and guidance anyone can draw really well. But knowing how to draw won’t make a person a famous artist. There are so many more things than the technical use of a tool.

Unfriendly reminder, and absolutely unfun fact, that torture’s entire point is to break a person’s will so they’ll say and do anything the torturer wants. So, if you can withstand days or just a few seconds is completely irrelevant. Even if you give up right away before the torture even starts, you’d be tortured anyways, because it’s not about the cognitive and rational surrender, it’s about the visceral subconscious surrender of agency to another’s will. Disregarding all rationality.

Poor comprehension of the law. LLC in the vast majority of the western world means limited liability, not absolute immunity. Owners are 100% responsible for the actions of their companies, but their liability is limited when other members of the company act without their knowledge or in bad faith, or damages are unintentional. If the damage was intentional and the actions were sanctioned and approved by ownership or leadership they are absolutely liable for the legal repercussions. Liability is limited also for multiple owners, a hedge fund cannot be held responsible for the action of a company they only own 5% of and has an indirect influence on the actions of leadership. The really important element here is that Musk is being identified as acting as primary agent, not just Twitter, and using assets and resources from his other companies. Thus, it’s not Twitter acting, it’s Musk who is acting, and then fines can be on all of his capital holdings, not just Twitter. This nuance of law is exactly according to the laws in place in the EU.

Compression depends on what the data is. It’s hard to predict if it is possible with very heterogeneous data like an OS. What I would do is get a cheap external drive. Always have a USB drive with a windows recovery image when doing this things. Get comfortable with the process of restoring the OS. Read the debloating tool’s documentation very thoroughly.

SpaceX wins have nothing to do with Musk. It’s the literal army of engineers doing the work. Tesla’s event was a bunch of dudes in remote controllers showcasing 5 year old technology trying to sell it as future tech. Musk is a con man, all he knows how to do well is sell bullshit. Nothing he has ever promised has ever been delivered. What the engineers that work for him have promised, without the smokes and mirrors of stock trading theater, they have some what delivered.

This “move fast break stuff” worship is just an excuse to hurt others without consequences and to deflect responsibility. For that matter, SpaceX is forced to deliver without the seagull manager meddling because they’re overwatch by the government. Putting trust in a company even though you know for certain they cannot deliver and are scamming you out of your money is either shilling or insanity.

He is, watch the vídeo. Longwinded list of criticism, controversies and red flags in a single event, then back to shilling. “If anyone is gonna deliver, it will be Tesla”, god, it even sounds like an ad read.

Tesla is faux futurism. They don’t promote an utopia, but a fascist capitalist dystopia. Where tech has made it so you don’t have to talk with poor people anymore. Talk to your robot maid instead, and get shuttled around so you never have to interact out of your class bubble.

In this comment: Someone who is not familiar with the history of Nintendo selling pirated versions of their own games and ripping off pirate emulators then passing them as their own.

Maybe because psychopathy is not a diagnosis. Psychopath is a popular or sometimes criminalism term, it’s definition is vague and its use is not very strict. In mental health there’s antisocial personality disorder and psychopathic traits in personality testing. But there’s no single definition of what being a “psychopath” is.

The kicker is that each inch of that highway is a money sinkhole. In maintenance and lost tax from land ownership tax that will not be paid.

I didn’t have much choice. Where I am imports are heavily restricted and the market is not very keen on alternatives anyways. I already had a slim number of options to begin with. Importing a linux first brand, a used thinkpad or a fancy framework as is the fashion on the first world would’ve cost me about three times what I paid for the model I got, and I already got it with a bit of overcharge. Just on port fees, taxes, etc. Trust me, I did my research and this was the best performance and compatibility with linux for money I could get where I am. Windows 11 license cost is not even a factor, we just don’t get a choice to not factor it in the price.

So, I just bought a new laptop. It came with Windows 11. But anyways, I’m writing this comment from a freshly installed Bazzite Linux OS.

The overlords decided that comics are for selling shit to nerds and cartoons are for selling shit to children. Now that nerds are all over 30 there’s no need for comics anymore, duh!

But in general, Japan is still way more into paper publishing still. Much more than the western world.

He is also very heavy handed. The entire admin team is (not necessarily a bad thing). I was banned from a community for reporting a comment that insulted me directly because they didn’t like a joke I made. The joke was a harmless word pun, the comment I reported called me an idiot. But I was the one banned. Resource? None, calling the mod chat to argue a community ban is discouraged and also an offense. My account could be banned just for pointing it out in this comment. But that’s just the way things are here. I had to block FS because he tended to argue in bad faith with me whenever I happened to comment in the same post as him.

Give GUN JAM a try. It’s a rhythm shooting game, the stakes are as high or as low as you want them. There’s only a minimal story and you just focus on the music, aiming and staying on the beat. Can be a lot of flow state fun.
