What content? Just do a gonzo, pretend like you attended and write whatever you please about it.

When there’s a critical mass of hopeless people, they’ll be drafted, given a rifle, and marched somewhere with the full intention of never letting them return alive or otherwise.

AR-10s have different competing standards

yes, I was saying that an ar-10 fit the poster’s description of an AK better than actual AK rifles, for that reason.

But if you ever need to replace a part?

That’s the best part! I won’t! I owned one for years, I could dig post holes with the damn thing. I sincerely regret selling it.

They most definitely are not

Shipping makes those numbers very fudgy, I see one offer for 7.62 that beats many of the 5.56 offers just by giving free shipping. I’m willing to meet you at ‘they’re close’ but in no way is 5.56 vastly less expensive. Not like 9mm less expensive!

If you mean the majority of people that buy a rifle and then never use it, sure. If you’re talking about people that actually go out and shoot, you’re definitely wrong.

Right, so like I said the vast majority of gun owners. Super Gun Nerds will always have a sincere appreciation for use cases that the vast majority of gun owners will not encounter at any point. Home defense happens under 25 yards. Soft points and a wooded area would give you a hunting experience that grandpa’s 30-30 would feel quite comfortable in. They tend to be reliable and even decently accurate until the barrel heats up. They’re not the same gun, but it’s not a bad gun, and the benefits you’re touting are completely overblown. Either one is better than none at all. It’s easy to make up an edge case to prove your point, I could probably find an edge case in which AK was fully superior but that’s not the point I’m trying to make, the point is for the majority of gun owners would not see a significant difference, and for the edge case users you’ll find another edge case waiting to tear your argument down.

Awww sadly it was just a rumor. https://bsky.app/profile/gamingonlinux.com/post/3lhe2febew22h

Even so, hook up a steam desk to a monitor with a mouse and keyboard and that’s a linux desktop, that’s right now today.

This is such a weird take. AKs also ‘just work’, most people will never have to hand-fit anything on an AK, and ammo prices for AK are at parity with ammo prices for AR. The cheapest end of anything can be dangerous to the user, so again that’s another non-point. The majority of people aren’t going to see a major functional difference between the two, it comes down to personal preference.

The gun you’re actually describing is the AR-10

With the advent of the steamOS console, you’re actually correct! If it’s anything like my deck it’s trivial to launch it in desktop mode and use it like a normal linux desktop. This is the gateway to putting linux in front of bored kids everywhere.
