proper earbuds will block out most everything. get ones that actually fit into your canal and play something you’d rather hear. when I put mine in, I literally can’t hear anything but my music.

kids are people, but yeah, point stands

To those passengers who got mad, you know what I think: Fuck you!

yep stuck on Xorg forever gang

dear god if I could just run xmonad and dmenu on windows or mac I’d hate employers that tried to force me to use one or the other so much less.

when you say “something is not properly supported” what do you mean? like nvidia/amd haven’t released graphics drivers yet for linux? or some peripheral isn’t recognized?

basically, by buying new hardware just after it launches, you’re effectively one of the very first people to boot that hardware with linux. you can usually make it work but most hardware manufacturers don’t work with the linux devs to make sure support is in place. so devs have to get ahold of the hardware retail and then fix whatever is broken. the exception to this is AMD and Intel - both companies have people working on linux so they will merge support for new hardware into the kernel before that new hardware is even announced to the public. so if you stick to cpus and video cards from those two manufacturers, you’ll make your linux life easier.

even then, though, the support might exist in the latest version of the kernel, but the last Ubuntu or Mint release is still several versions behind. so you’re effectively forced to use a distro that releases updates much faster (ie rolling release), or be willing to make modifications to the system post-install to get it to work.

tl;dr: you’ve got a constellation of requirements that can’t all be met at the same time. either give it 3 to 6 months after release of new hardware or be willing to learn how to make it work. expecting software to work with hardware it hasn’t yet been designed to work with is always going to be a recipe for failure.

more stuff just works, if it doesn’t, you might be able to fix it but it’s rough.

it’s sunk cost bias. I have this trying to use windows or macos, after using linux exclusively for half my life - everything feels foreign and frustrating, with an obnoxious amount of UX patterns you’re expected to know in order to find anything. ugh, I could rant for hours on how obtuse macos is (mainly because I have to interact with it for work right now - if you force me to use windows, I’ll rant about that too)

eugh, if they embedded them as posts, they’d be federating the ads as well.

I mean, that’s exactly what all three of those were intended to do – carry property law over into a domain where it clearly doesn’t make sense. so it’s fully . none of them should exist.

you’re aware people had gender before anyone ever said the words she or her, right? I’m rolling at the idea that pronouns define gender. you troglodyte - pronouns arise as a compromise between society and the individual. they’re cultural while gender is something that belongs entirely to the individual.

how on earth do cis people live like this

I’m going with trumpet-male-arrow

justifying the expropriation of surplus value through tired liberal platitudes - it’s almost like someone wrote a book 200 years ago explaining in gratuitous detail why you’re wrong.

you’re just leeching off from someone else’s hard work

so are the people profiting from said work. the owners of the business keep the revenue, they don’t give it to the people who did the hard work.

self-study. it’s been a decade since I was in school and kept encountering references to it, so I’ve been working through a lecture series and the book.

the model provided is a lazy cauchy sequence so any given real number can be computed to arbitrary precision. the theorems about real numbers are directly provable and potentially machine checkable, assuming decidable type checking works out.

because I was misinformed?
