Sounds like they’ll blend in just fine with the rest of the Russian conscripts

They were born in hardship. Molded by it.

They’ll still die though.

In a video game, whatever allowed them to become billionaires would have been called an “exploit” and would have been nerfed in the next patch.

I can’t be bothered to learn how to build and maintain a kernel though, hence why I stay away from Arch. My “dummy-friendly” distro of choice for KDE Plasma is OpenSuse Tumbleweed. It has been rock solid for a year now except for that one time a few weeks ago when NVidia dropped the ball and fucked up their driver update. It was fixed a few days later. My only other complaint is that I wish they didn’t wait for NVidia to put the new 560 drivers in the production branch to trickle it down to us because for some reason that’s what gets supported in tumbleweed. EVERYONE who needs those drivers are impatiently waiting for just that because pre-555 drivers don’t play well with Wayland.

Fedora Plasma Spin is probably another solid choice but for some reason on my computer it just instantly bricked itself upon first update.

“worst chandelier I’ve ever seen”

And by “guarding the border” it really means “shooting anyone trying to escape”

Imagine living in a 1950’s time bubble. You are being constantly told through propaganda that your military force is cutting edge and that it can easily overwhelm any enemy.

Then you are being sent to fight on a battlefield where everyone has better gear than you, where you are confronted to weapons that are so far advanced beyond anything that you’ve ever seen they might as well be magic. Then you see said weapons completely obliterate your comrades without giving you a chance to even see the enemy who operates them.

You only obeyed so far because you feared what your government might do to you if you didn’t. Now you’ve found something that you fear even more.

Wasn’t he basically a useful idiot for Palpatine?

It’s good enough to work, but that’s pretty much all you’ll get. In many aspects each monitor isn’t treated separately by the DE. For example you only have one task bar and each screen gets an exact copy of it. Any minimized window will appear on all the task bars on all your screens no matter what screen that window was from. Right there it’s a big turnoff for me. I don’t remember the details but just getting a different desktop background for each screen needed a workaround solution as well. They clearly didn’t allocate any resources for the multiple display user experience. And now that I’ve gotten a taste of the insane customizability of KDE Plasma I don’t think I’ll be able to go back. 6.2 added a layer of polish to the experience that made it perfect for my uses. Which is a shame because Mint was pretty solid otherwise.

I haven’t tried xfce and mate on a multi display setup so I don’t know. But these seemed to be simpler, being made to be lightweight for less powerful setups so I wouldn’t expect them to be as advanced as Plasma for that.

If Mint ever supported KDE plasma 6.2 I’d consider switching back to Mint. I just can’t stand how Cinnamon doesn’t give a crap about multi display users and gives them a “There. Good enough. Fuck you.” solution.

Seriously though. Fuck Nvidia.

They’re not just “missing” they are dead. They haven’t been just “forced of the boat”, they have been murdered.

Operation Flashpoint used to let you keep partial magazines like that.

Then it’s one of those games where the unused ammo gets discarded with the empty magazine (or ammo belt in that case)

Turns out the secret to being a big boss is to have owned a BB gun as a kid.

By default I disable notifications for all my apps unless it is something I need notifications from. And even there I still disable notification types that I don’t care about in the settings.

Can’t other phones do this?

You messed up by having your phone on dark mode

I swear on Reddit you couldn’t post anything without having to spend 5 minutes proof-reading it to make sure there wasn’t a way to misinterpret anything intentionally or unintentionally and that you haven’t left any gaps in your explanation that someone could fill for you. If you missed anything some parasite would downvote you, twist what you said against you to make you look like something worse than Hitler and rally up everyone against you.

Fuck that place.

That check engine light would be perfect in a VW

Aaaand… Whatever company hadn’t pulled their assets out of Russia yet are now scrambling to do it.
