And communism is where the mouse gets arrested for having the cheese in the first place. Great film, The Witness. Everybody should watch it at least once every five years.

There’s a package called activate-linux that puts the activation warning overlay on the screen in case you ever feel homesick.

…and there’s Ubuntu advertising its pro subscription in the terminal.

Honestly, the resolution doesn’t really bother me. It’s just about right for the screen size, about 200 PPI at 7". If the screen were larger (which is one of the things I want from a SD2), it might not be enough.

The other thing I’d want is more USB sockets (at least one with USB-PD) on both the top and bottom edge.

And don’t you wish it weren’t.

What games is it too old for, exactly?

“I think this is the part where he kills us.”

Still don’t understand why they cut the fleeb.

But will it affect the trout population?

Anti-intellectualism as a defence. Nice. Abandon grammar and take language where an LLM can’t follow. Surely we’ll be able to tell a text written by a human from one written by a machine if the human writes it like a dumbass, I can’t see anything wrong with that. i mean why even use proper punctuation and capitalization an ai wouldnt write sumthin like dis isnnnt it better you can tell a human wrote dis

Have I made my point?

You’re not getting downvoted for the LLM thing. You’re getting downvoted for doubling down on a stupid argument. Em dashes – and en dashes for that matter – have legitimate uses in the English language. One symptom does not make a diagnosis. English is barely a respectable language in the first place. Dumbing it down even further to satisfy your preconceptions is, simply, stupid.

Be warned that Windows Update can see your other partitions. It ate my boot partition, then choked on it and took the entire system with it. That was the last time I had Windows on my computer.

Fanatec will need an extra kernel module: https://github.com/gotzl/hid-fanatecff

The first question you should consider is whether you actually need a gaming distro. I’ve been using bare-ass Arch for both gaming and development and haven’t had any performance or stability issues I didn’t cause myself.

From the two options, Nobara is likely better for a beginner. It’s based on Fedora, which has good support and doesn’t do anything fucky with the kernel. (it does, the kernel is built with patches and custom options)

Cachy is based on Arch, which in itself requires a more in-depth knowledge of the system and/or a willingness to learn. The performance improvements they advertise with the customized kernel and scheduler options are really only relevant if you want to squeeze the last bit of performance out of the system. Your day-to-day experience will be the same.

We’re all living in Amerika, Amerika ist wunderbar

The media-centric broadcast extension to IP-over-avian we’ve all been waiting for.

People who use “your body is a temple” as an argument against tattoos or body modifications have never seen a fucking temple in their lives.

It’s p▆rn.

I don’t think you fully comprehend just how many footprints people leave behind on the internet. Users would have to practice perfect opsec – and I mean completely, absolutely perfect. One mistake, like using an e-mail address or an alias off-site, will link a person to the account. If that person cracks under legal threats, the entire operation is fucked. It’s happened before.

Thinking you can solve the issue of privacy with a single idea is simply delusional.

Have you heard of surveillance cameras and facial recognition? If a hostile actor knows in advance that members of a targeted online community will be physically present at a location at a given time, those people will be linked to the community. It doesn’t take a lot from then to link specific persons to accounts.

Besides, libraries are having a hard enough time just existing in America. They don’t need the burden of protecting the identities of dozens of people and fighting off lawyers and enforcers.
