“Without being a prick” Dawg being a prick is his primary way of communication, power to him

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ , I can do every normal thing I wanna do in a GUI on Fedora

Glad you got it under control without the pills that made you feel bad. Happy for you

While it is completely possible musk believes things like this. I still mostly think he just wants to pander to his primary audience and doesn’t mind spreading things he knows aren’t true.

Maybe it doesn’t reach your criteria of a “certain level”, but there’s definitely stories of people winning significant amounts of money in the lottery and being broke years later because they are morons.

What do you mean “heading domestic chip production”, Intel already produces chips in Phoenix.

Both tsmc and Intel are building brand new fabs in Phoenix, I can’t be bothered to check but I’m pretty sure the capabilities will be pretty matched so they won’t be heading or leading still.

I would like to add that if you want to do any real customization of your setup don’t get mac either.

Instead of having your windows float around, they perfectly snap and fill the space of the monitor depending on how many windows you have open. A new DE in alpha right now called Cosmic has both floating windows and tiling, you can change with just a toggle.

Cosmic is great so far, I run it on Fedora.

GIMPs biggest upgrade in like a decade should be coming out this year, you’ll have to check it out and see if it meets your needs when it does.

Not open source apps, glad I’ve pivoted to almost entirely open source software. SaaS is cancer.

Unrelated to the main post but your comment brings up a point I think is important for society to understand. “pedophiles are afraid to seek help.” Pedophilia is a mental disorder and doesn’t inherently mean someone is a criminal, or ever will become one. But because it is such a violent and life destroying term to be labeled as a pedo those who have this mental disorder and are struggling to not offend will never seek the mental help they desperately need, this in turn leads to children being harmed.

Everyone is responsible for their actions, and pedophiles who rape or hurt kids are also responsible for their actions, but society as a whole contributes to more children being harmed by the way we represent and treat the mental disorder.

“incoming cosmic rays” I use cosmic DE btw

I had a co worker a few months ago say they needed to head home to their second job after work, curious I Inquired further and it turns out he has just been busting out ~40 hours a week of destiny 2 for a few months now while also working 40 hours a week at our job.

To be fair we work from home 2 days a week so I’m sure he had some cross over work/destiny time.

I love tool, was referring to you liking Star wars over dune

It means you only have a good opinion sometimes.

Such senseless loss of life in the name of religion.

If they’d died in the Saudi heat to a secular activity - at an F1 race event or inside a poorly A/C’d movie theater or trapped on an overheated bus - would that have been better?

Well I think religion is one of the few things you can get enough uneducated/dedicated people to die in the hundreds from heat stroke without people being like"I should probably leave"

All the examples you gave, of course except being trapped on a bus, people would realize there is a serious issue and start leaving once the first handful of people died.

“I’m not leaving the theater till I see the end of Iron man 2, I don’t care that half the theaters dead and I’m next!”

EDIT

the Hajj as a cultural event was originally intended as this class-agnostic unifying practice social event.

lol, weren’t women not allowed to go alone until recently or still?

Blender does fucking everything lol, insane how much is packed into that amazing piece of FOSS

Blender is low key the best video editor on Linux for future reference

I mean he’s tech illiterate when it comes to anything semi complicated but with the way he uses his pc and the software he uses it would just not be possible for him to switch at all, would be unable to do 70% of the stuff he wants to do.

Linux is only good for the truly tech illiterate/pretty noice users in my opinion. After that you hit a point where they are literate just enough that they would need to solve problems on linux they wouldn’t have to on windows and their inability to solve problems on Linux make their experience bad.

One level above that Linux is the better option again though.
