I would say mainstream should become this: game has client-side kernel level anti-cheat? Goes right into trash bin

Hell, I do not need any kernel-level third-party hacks to literally spend money on the Internet, and some company wants system-level access to my computer when I want to just have fun and do pew-pew? Lol, good luck with that

Die we all will, so might as well try living... well, fuck that for now, I know high-motivational-speaches do not work when you don't see much value in living. You managed to get this far, and this is not a small feat, so please take my appreciation I would never be able to train anyone in anything, damn, just not the type of a person. What do you train people to do?

Fucking hell. How are you hanging in there now?

I dare you, I double dare you, say "the Senate" one more time!

Not to argue, just a bit of self-humour:

And I am doomed because I enjoy it. To hell with all the GUI open-settings-then-a-tab-in-it-and-down-to-rabbit-hole-of-tabs-and-setting-sub-windows, just give me plain damn config file. Also, praise be to people who write where the program looks for config files and what can supercede what in man entries

But how big is it (resolution/physical size) ?

I feel like I will never go for more than present 4k with around 80cm width (but it is curved, so screen surface is enough), because if I try to stuff more windows visible at the same time, it becomes more info than I can process. So, unless I start building something like personal dashboard, this is my limit: finally see enough, do not get overwhelmed

Fairly limited tasks like backend development, yeah.

But true I had no idea what people really use for graphics and sound, thank you for pointing thouse out.

GUI for git, merge and diff does not bother me either, but that is a personal quirk. Thank you for those too, I will at least take a look

You seem to have moderate expectations towards visual computing.

Got me a hundred percent 🙂. Maybe when I have more money I will dive into the beautiful world of high-quality graphics

Ah. Yeah, TVs can be really large. Thank you for taking the time to explain

Games: nope. Same as someone above, I've got Cyberpunk on Linux

Office/Adobe... may be a fair point for some Nvidia card: nope, works fine

HDR: did not even bother to learn what is. Can be a fair point

Fractional scaling - genuine question: who the hell ever needs this? I have gone from 1K resolution (standard laptop) to 2K to 2.5K to 34K with curved monitor and never ever ever did I think "hey, this big screen? I want everything bigger/smaller on it". What do people use fractional scaling for?

Wow. I never saw this type of player, with cassette partially sticking out. Now I will look for something like this, thank you for the photo! 🙂

Edit: most important part. Yes, there is a way. I am in no position to claim to know what is going to help you, but I do know this: there is another way to live. Following is what I have tried and it worked

Been around there, it really is not a good place. Time to look inside. You only have so much time left to live, and only so much energy to do things. As to what can be done, then if possible, take a good break: quit job, buy food, then just stay home. No books, no TV, no speaking to anyone, no internet, no games, no nothing. Your mind will go wild for some time, but then you will recover and see life with more clarity

And for the big picture - look inside. If you were to die today, what would you do? Whom would you speak to one last time? Where would you go if distance was not an issue? What do you want to be done with your dead body? (If the answer is "nothing, I don't care", I would strongly suggest go see a doctor. Depression does not just go away)

Also, remember this every day: tomorrow morning, you may not wake up. Today you woke up, but a day will come when you don't. Remind this to yourself. Slowly this will change your perspective

If you happen to feel like talking - message or ping me, I will answer as fast as I can

Nah, this is not harm, this is "basically, way too many people are fucking idiots". Idiots enough to think that just with "I voted"tm they have done something to really move things toward a better life for everyone

Well... true that only voting does not much help when those who make the rules are not someone you can influence. Also true that abandoning voting is just plain dumb.

Saddest part: I have no answer to the question of how to make a society that works well for everyone with people who do not understand that to ensure wellbeing of anyone the wellbeing of all and everyone must be ensured

Logical and human friendly answer: mutable objects are not a problem, poorly designed code is

Personal rant: why even bother with objects, just use strings, ints, floats, arrays and hashmaps (sarcascm. I have spent hours uncovering logic of large chunks of code with no declaration of what function expects and produces what)

And also, seeing endless create-object-from-data-of-other-object several times has made me want to punch the author of that code in the face. Even bare arrays and hashmaps were less insane than that clusterfuck

I keep hearing about how modal editing is faster

Please, do yourself a favor and ignore that noise. It is more a question of like/dislike and training. Personal sidenote: I daily alternate between PhpStorm and Neovim. Can't say doing things in either is faster/slower to any significant degree (PhpStorm is mostly there for the things I have not yet configered properly in Neovim, like looking through git history)

and I would like to switch to a more performant editor

This should be looked at and tested objectively: is it working with big files that is the problem? Or navigating the code base? Or something else? Maybe it is better to tweak vscode instead?

Disclaimer: when I say "bullshit", I do not mean "you are brainless fool", I only mean "this idea is so ridiculously wrong it is time we put it to rest at last"

No command lines ever for anything

This annoys me so much I literally registered to answer: bullshit. Stop with that strawman, will ya all, Linux enthusiasts

easy troubleshooting even your nan can follow

Same level bullshit. Watch win (and mac?) being hell to debug

every Linux user agrees it is the best Linux distribution

Bullshit. See Win XP times with many custom-made "flavours". That did nothing to make windows less popular

when there is a single distribution

Bullshit number one. Linux will become major thing as a result of people pushing back against corporate wall-gardening and spying and/or when it starts coming pre-installed (see Android phones for the latter). All the scary-command-line whining is just elitist bullshit
