thats about what i thought itd be like lmao thanks for the reply

Sometimes reality really is stranger than fiction. Pavlov VR has a take on this city that my friend and I play on a lot. I always wondered how people travel here. Cool post

Fair enough, also I meant TPM and security as a good thing if that wasn’t clear (you might’ve known that tho, i suck at reading tone via text.)

social constructs aren’t totally fake, they’re made “real” by social reinforcement. for example, in the 1940/50s it was expected of women that they were “weak”, and many who went out of line (by speaking up to their husbands, protesting, etc) were punished by being beaten or worse. the feminist and trans rights movements seek to eliminate the old roles and stereotypes assigned to gender to get rid of the real-world retaliation towards those deemed inferior. in contrast, those who seek to reinforce the old ways continue these systems of abuse.

7 downvotes but I don’t get where you’re wrong. Maybe the fact that Windows 11 requires TPM and some other security features? But the rest of the OS pretty much went down in terms of quality.

Wouldn’t be a proper week without a leak on a War Thunder forum

The Nissan Leaf seems to be the only one worth being concerned about. Don’t quote me on this but I remember reading the old ones (like 2011ish to around 2016-17) had poor airflow to cool the battery so they lost capacity quicker

English is all good, and honestly that’s a good point. I tend to forget that the browser is what forwards the OS to the website, not the OS itself

musk is really kinda doing the ADL’s job for them lmao

It seems simple enough, but what constitues “authoritarian” or even “communist” always changes from person-to-person

Idk about the porn, but for the tankie thing, it’s probably because it’s just a political insult that doesn’t have any real meaning like “libshit”, “demonrat”, etc so enforcement is very subjective

I’m also not on dbzer0 so take my comment with a grain of salt

Lemmy isn’t known for using bots to fill in gaps in user engegement, mostly

I never understood this either. “Why are users of an aggressively open-source service so adamant about using open-source software?” Especially when Lemmy’s been around for years, so yeah it’s cultivated a majority Linux userbase.

And (if they’re American) when they go “well, MY government wouldn’t do that!” counter with how Meta has already, numerous times, gotten people arrested for talking about getting abortions on Facebook

Yeah as far as I can tell, the current big user-friendly distros are either PopOS or Linux Mint because Ubuntu is doing the whole snap thing, and also Mint (maybe Pop too, i havent looked into that one much) is Ubuntu-based just without snap

Ubuntu, either version 12.04 or 12.10 when I got my first computer, a Chromebook, in Christmas 2013 when I was 10. I hated how Chrome OS didn’t support anything so I found a way to put Ubuntu on it and messed around with Blender and Minecraft. Despite this early start, I proceeded to do nothing productive with it, broke it out of frustration, and now I’m 20 and struggling with Arch lmao

Test reply to your reply reply

Samsung Odyssey+. It’s a VR headset, and although almost anything post-2017 would be a better option due to its poor tracking, I still consider it one of my best purchases because it got me back into VR for cheap (friend sold it to me for $250) after the Oculus Rift kickstarter years before when I couldn’t afford it.

Also Ryzen 7 5800X3D. This CPU is probably gonna stay as my main chip for at least the next 5 or so years, it’s really a beast.

I love having 16-bit applications hidden in my 64-bit OS

is that a whole petabyte of swap???
