The latest steam survey says 2.08% use Linux.

That’s more than 2%, I bet you feel pretty ridiculous now!

Definitely not a step up. I don’t think…

Looking for office equipment recommendations on Reddit recently, every single thread had fake suggestions that were clearly advertiser accounts. They sounded incredibly fake like bots that pulled descriptions from Amazon, all had similar links with tracking, and all were upvoted to the top.

Sure, crypto is certainly worse.

But ChatGPT uses the equivalent power of 17,000 households according to this article.

But what if they’re riding a horse and the horse does something silly? What then?

My only issue with Mint Cinnamon is it doesn’t have badges for notifications on app icons. For example, when you get a Discord message.

It’s a really weird omission.

I just dual booted Linux Mint yesterday when I was reminded of the Win 10 end of service date, and hope to keep with it as my main system.

Linux has come a long way with compatibility since I last tried it ~10 years ago. The fact that Steam games ran perfectly without an evening of configuring settings blew my mind.

Not to brag, but my mom let me have her old palm pilot from work.

Guess I was pretty cool when I peaked 20 years ago.

Honestly I’m more disappointed that this isn’t the first time on Lemmy that I’ve seen someone delete a post and then try to make a big scene about how they didn’t like the responses they got and were giving up on a community.

Lemmy has so little content that your complaint post gets to be top of a community for a while, so that’s nice.

You’re not the main character, people are entitled to opinions, and you don’t have to care or take them personally. It’s the internet, there will always be someone who complains even if it’s entirely unwarranted.

This is one of my worries with a growing wealth disparity in the world.

The average person is starting to get priced out of any luxury entertainment because there are wealthy people with unreasonable amounts of money to throw at whatever they feel like.

There will always be rich people who can pay whatever price a company asks for.

Oooh. Thanks for that, makes more sense now.

There’s a reason everyone needs to be vaccinated.

But I don’t expect you to read that because if you wanted to understand reality, you would have already.

What do you use for tiling? I’ve been curious about this setup, but the software setup sounds like a pain compared to 2 monitors.

Don’t forget some states want us to give our government-issued IDs to porn sites. What could go wrong.

Think of the children.

I prefer to flip the PSU switch to the wrong position. Because there’s no other point in time when I ever use that switch.

DVI had an analog variant as well. I’m obligated to say this because that cable compatibility confused the shit out of me at least once.

You had to check for pins above and below the wide “dash” shaped pin to know if it supported analog.

Did he? I missed all this news. Googling now I only see that Simmons said he didn’t give permission and didn’t want to be involved when they tried, but didn’t see him try to shut it down.

I’m curious to hear if he really wanted it stopped. It’s tough to understand his tone in his quote, but it feels slimy that they released the short anyway.

No, I’m more concerned with how the entire world will be impacted by electing Trump again. What’s happening in Gaza will continue to happen whether we elect Biden or Trump.

Trump on Gaza:

“You’ve got to finish the problem,” Trump said on Fox News on Tuesday when asked about the war. “You had a horrible invasion that took place that would have never happened if I was president.”

He said on Oct. 11 that a future Trump administration would “fully support Israel defeating, dismantling, and permanently destroying the terrorist group Hamas,”

That month, his campaign also said that, if elected again, he would bar Gaza residents from entering the U.S. as part of an expanded travel ban.

Suggesting that the Gaza situation is a dealbreaker for Biden is trying to hold him to a higher standard than anyone holds Trump, and that higher standard by itself tells you who the better candidate is.

There probably isn’t a single politician that I fully agree with.

There are different levels of disagreement and what I’m pointing out is people trying to use Gaza as a way to fully discredit Biden as a candidate because they have no other scandals to use against him.

The Gaza example was already whataboutism. I only bring up the Trump example to emphasize that we already have historical evidence that he won’t handle Ukraine or Gaza any better than Biden has. He only uses those situations to benefit himself.

I agree that being the lesser of two evils doesn’t absolve Biden’s part in it, but I hope you reconsider supporting him. As frustrating as it is that neither is perfect, it doesn’t help anyone to allow an even worse candidate to win in protest.
