What ever happened to coop competition? Where are the sports like, “who can build a house the fastest?”, or “let’s see who can build the strongest bridge”. It’s all useless shit these days, like, “who can put an inflatable ball in a special place while others try to stop them?” that does nothing for anyone.

Yes.

In a 2015 interview, Moore noted of the 1965 article: “… I just did a wild extrapolation saying it’s going to continue to double every year for the next 10 years.”

He didn’t even think it’d be true for as long as it was.

It’s OK to be a little suicidal. Understandable, even, just accepting that warm ebrace…

I can imagine it right now… trying to move a dresser up those stairs, nailing the chandelier, dropping the dresser, and ruining 120 year old craftsmanship.

He’s definitely worth it if you’re into electronics and silly little gadgets, which is his much more common topic. He seems to be a chill sparky.

I don’t think he’s done Cognac, but Big Clive at bigclivedotcom on YouTube has a series called “will it carbonate”, where he uses a soda stream to try and carbonate all sorts of adult beverages. At least a bit interesting even in the ones where he’s not giving much feedback.

rofl thanks for proving how pathetic you are.

Totally +1 for MX. I’ve tried a few distros over the years, and sure plenty of woes ‘could’ be the recent growing pains into Wayland, etc … but thus far, MX has been so fucking easy it’s almost concerning.

The only thing I’d slightly gripe about so far is the highly limited options at install time. No multiple partition setup or nearly any alternative choices … but that can also be viewed as a positive.

From the standpoint of, “I just want this shit to work”, it’s been excellent.

I was also looking at cinnamon, but I wanted a KDE Plasma option. Then I ran into MX and figured why not try? A couple of very simple and fast installs later, and two different laptops are now running it.

The extreme ease at installing nvidia drivers was just icing on the cake for how easy the rest went.

Concord… rofl

Though as you say, it’s not a genre problem but a capitalist piece of shit problem.

Games USED to be able to be hosted locally. You USED to be able to spin up a server and play with your friends without paying the capitalist tax. Not so more.

The entire industry world is rotting in wait for these fucking morons to realize profit above all else is cancer.

Unless the programs in question rely on conflicting core dependencies that actually have to have hooks into the system, like KWallet and other credential managers, and other similarly “system” level tools, you’ll be totally fine. Worst case while avoiding those, you might have to install some hefty frameworks (eg: KDE’s dependencies are >1gb), but that’s about it.

If they need to integrate with specific core utilities, it can get weird. Though as long as you check for conflicting stuff before actually installing, you’ll be fine.

“But muh freeze peach!”

Every fucking idiot that doesn’t understand how some ideologies do not deserve any freedom what so ever.

rofl OK, enlighten us, little troll. What do YOU think “ad antiquitatem” means?

Fuck settlements in cases like this. Settling should be viewed as admission of guilt.

Yes I know, litigation costs can make settling cheaper for innocent parties, but that is just an indication of how pathetically inadequate the court system is to actually attain justice. We all fucking know these cretins are guilty of even worse than the allegations.

You misunderstand. I didn’t mean, “it’s fine to put random crap you find misplaced around the store back in the fridge”. I meant it’s fine for the people who put it on the shelf to instead put it back in the correct refrigerated/frozen section.

OFC you shouldn’t put now unthawed crap back in the freezer or now warm things back in the fridge unless you know it hasn’t been out long… That should be common knowledge. I assumed noone would be dumb enough to take that interpretation, but here we are…

Lack of reading comprehension because they never claimed it was intended to literally be a physical law or an actual scientific theory meant to describe reality. Just shared charicteristics with those things, which they already listed. (falsifiable, measurable, etc)

Again, nobody is making an appeal to tradition to say Moore’s Law is literally a physical law or was ever meant to be one.

It was only ever called a “law” because it was hilarious that such a nigh off-hand postulate turned out to be even close to reality.

While humans cannot see 144hz explicitly, persistence of vision does not work like a monitor. Your vision DOES see differences. You can still notice how ‘smooth’ motion is at higher frame rates, etc.

That said, framerate isn’t the only stat that improves visual quality. Even wholly outside of color reproduction, having a monitor that supports blanking between frames (frame1, black, frame2, black, etc) can make even the same FPS ‘feel’ smoother and reduce ghosting and other effects from the panel.

Also, there is a BIG advantage of fast panels for variable refresh rates. Even if your game can never run past 60fps, a panel that can push updates very fast generally has a far greater ability to hit the rendered framerate, ‘feels’ more responsive at the same framerate, and often has a greater range of FPS they can support. Basically… there are many good reasons FreeSync has multiple tiers.

So basically… good job falling for ignorant dogma!

I’d posit Linux is still far superior. Especially with stupid little things, like one of my displays acts like it’s fully disconnected when it’s powered off at night. Which then tells Windows to disconnect the screen and fuck up all my app positions regardless of wether, “remember window positions based on connected screens” or what ever is set. It takes many seconds for that asshole to reinitialize the whole fucking desktop, always with programs in the wrong fucking place. Every. Time.

Linux doesn’t give a fuck, changes desktop layout instantly, doesn’t assume where I want my windows, and is by all accounts just far superior. I haven’t messed with this fresh install too much to know if there are weird little edge cases I’m not noticing, but so far, Linux is absolutely kicking Microsoft’s ass and taking its lunch money (I wish more than figuratively).

Why? They’d just be like dipshit Cypher and murder to get back to their dumbass ignorance.

… no wait, they are like dipshit Cypher, no matrix required…

I have and it sucks ass. It’s like a disassociative panic attack for ten minutes in plant form. I do not understand how people can even pretend it’s anywhere near a competitor to weed.

I mean, if he’s still living a life his employees can only dream of, he’s still actually being a pile of shit. It’s all pandering until they need to move out of their mansions.
