Opt-in polling is so bad. It means you only get answers from people with strong opinions. They are polls where the results are shaped like a U instead of a bell curve so it rarely represents the actual 95 percentile.

If the product you purchased no longer works on a promised platform due to a developer update you were sold a product that was not as advertised. Steam will refund you in this case, and it comes out of the developer's (publisher's) pocket.

Hot take - your vote does matter....until it doesn't. You can win the popular vote but lose the electoral vote and the latter is the one that matters. Your vote only matters in your state.

Thankfully this scenario is covered by Steam's refund policy. If Capcom wants to fuck around, let them find out.

I don't know about everyone else, but I still play at 1080. It looks fine to me and I care more about frames than fidelity. More VRAM isn't going to help me here so it is not a factor when looking at video cards. Ignoring the fact I just bought a 4070, I wouldn't not skip over a 4070 Super just because it has 12GB of RAM.

This is a card that targets 1440p. It can pull weight at 4k, but I'm not sure if that is justification to slam it for not having the memory for 4k.

Not a hot take at all. Asking someone to go from a GUI heavy operating system to a command line heavy one and be just as productive is lunacy. Like all major changes it is important to ween off the old thing.

My biggest hurdle with the switch has been permission related issues, and you can't deal with those cleanly with a UI, and every help thread under the sun throws out a bunch of command line commands giving a solution without explaining why those changes are needed. It may seem like Unix 101 to experienced Linux users, but it is really cryptic to newcomers coming from operating systems that are...cough more lenient with their permissions.

There is also a mentality that UIs are much more idiot proof than command line. UIs are written by people who actually know the OS so we can't accidentally delete our home folder because of a typo. It is a very legitimate concern.

There are a lot of people who like saying pretty things when their name is visible but when it comes to the anonymous vote they will not vote the same way. This goes down both sides of the aisle, but people don't stand back and take an objective view of their parties and what their mouthpieces actually stand for.

For most things, yes. This is absolutely not one of them.

Looking in Lemmy the advertisements are the very first thing I see, and all I see. Im not against a guy feeding himself, but you can't hold it against me if I don't click on something because I am bombarded with a literal wall of advertisements without anything else.

I was going to applaud you explicitly saying it was for your use case, then I noticed the description is a bunch of merch shilling.

They still haven't fixed the major bugs after how many years in the first game. I don't think I can trust them with a second.

Well, yes. The heroes are generally the average people who don't do stuff for attention. The "pretty" ones who dress themselves up and try to get media attention are generally the villains.

Oh look, another social engineering scam passing itself off as a meme.

I hate to be that guy, but this is exactly how people crack into your accounts. These scams are aimed at getting information that can be used to crack security questions for account recovery.

Please do yourself a favor. Next time you see these images please do not interact with them.

As you said, I am perfectly aware that in an ideal world security would be on lockdown. How it behaves on Linux is how it SHOULD work. That doesn't change the main point that you can't hit the ground running with Docker containers in Linux.

Playing Final Fantasy XIII. That legitimately made me cry with how frustrating that game was to play.

Don't get me wrong - I know that they are, and I know that Linux is superior for running docker containers. The thing is that Windows handles all the permissions for you. An average Joe can get a docker container up and running on Windows. You need significantly more Linux-specific knowledge to get a container running on Linux, and the advice given by the community is often cryptic for beginners.

IIS is not the same as Docker. Sounds to me you are shitting on IIS for the sake of trying to prove a point I wasn't trying to make.

This goes into my next point. Linux users are toxic as hell. They are elitist snobs who shit on newbies because they have years of experience.

I can run a Linux docker container on Windows and it just works. When I run it on Linux it is constant permission and access issues.

Hit the ground running deploying...pretty much anything.

Was running game servers on my Windows PC through Docker and they were super easy to set up. I got a new PC and decided to repurpose my old computer into an Ubuntu server to get some experience with Unix. I have only been more frustrated once in my entire life. Sure, once things are set up on Linux they are really powerful, but the barrier to entry is so absurdly high and running anything "out of the box" is literally impossible by design.

I wish they would pull out of the American market because they are by far the worst chip we have. Overly greasy, no character, and just as expensive as premium chips.
