But Windows is unique in that it can fit a whole lot of shit in it. Way more than one could imagine.

Minecraft, Chrome etc are a 7 litre compost caddy of shit. Windows is a vast open country waiting to be turned into landfill of human waste.

I’ve always wondered this. For now I’ve settled on the hypothesis that all the first astronomers all had astigmatism.

Interesting given that he is actually preparing for an apocalypse scenario where he hides out in a bunker only to emerge a leader of men.

Not many people could get a bullseye with 40,000 darts and a year to use them. Fairplay to Israel for their precision on this one.

It’s called a community. If Reddit doesn’t seem like this anymore, it’s because half those people are actually AI.

You’d think it would be a blow to Bethesda that their sole programmer quit, but fortunately the creation engine is so cutting edge that I’m sure they’ll lean on it just as it is for years to come.

Pretty much just that Arch Linux will be more secure, stable and reliable.

Yeah so what’s your problem with what he said then?

It’s not like this was a case that was brought before him. He didn’t have to decide anything.

Just like you didn’t have to decide to be a condescending prick when people started disagreeing with you.

He’s simply disputing the assertion that ugly people aren’t allowed to make music.

That’s just not true. I imagine a lot of the kickback is coming from those of us who grew up playing those games, because when done right, there was a deeper sense of exploration and a more active role in decision making.

It’s how useful scales work.

But well done on the Herculean effort you’ve put forth in demonstrating your general ignorance.

Dear god, is Fahrenheit the reason behind meaningless movie ratings? Another reason to hate it…

I dunno, man. You’ve been driving home this idea that Fahrenheit is a scale and therefore great for intuiting ambient temperature, you can’t just turn around and be all ‘Well OBVIOUSLY 50% isn’t the neutral point.’

In any scale where 0 is dangerously low and 10 is dangerously high, 5 would be a happy medium.

That’s a number you just made up.

Either way, use a blacklist then. If you really care about what sites they access, use a whitelist.

Exactly. It’s like a tacit admission that the only reason to have this stuff is for people like Joe.

This is what I did. If you generally know what you’re doing around computers it just requires patience and a willingness to “Read the (Friendly) Manual.”

If you’re running intel, nVidia, dual GPU setup, and some other things, your installation will be more involved.

But the great part is that once you’ve set all that up, things just generally work and the Arch wiki is an amazing resource.

Nah, I’m happy to hear there are still some thriving out there. Gives me hope for the future. I’ve just noticed that I’m corralled towards Reddit any time I seek out the sorts of discussions that used to happen on forums.

AI means Reddit will always look alive at a glance.

Like you still get some people complaining that lemmy isn’t active enough for them to leave Reddit, even though they’re just hanging out with bots all day.

None of the small tight knit ones I used have survived outside of VI Control. But even the remaining ones are barely turned up by search engines.
