  • I didn't say that either. I think you need to reread what I wrote; it syncs just fine, and I think you're having trouble parsing it. Conservatism is the umbrella. Christian Fundamentalism falls under that umbrella, as do other things. That's why in my original comment I said:

    The two core principles of Conservatism, of which Christian Fundamentalism is a part...

    Added emphasis to clarify that I was very specific with the words I chose: "A part," not the whole of my point. Later on, I mentioned Religious Conservatives, which would cover every religious person who is also a Conservative, including but not limited to Christian Fundamentalists.

    But yes, you get my general point.

  • You wouldn't use a typical SFX power supply for something where size matters; you'd likely use a Flex PSU, which are often long and thin. If you got a lower-power CPU with integrated graphics, you could manage a case that's not much bigger than the motherboard or much thicker than the IO shroud.

    Lemmy doesn't have a lot of SFF or Ultra SFF content yet, but getting the most out of limited space is definitely a thing people are into, and they can get quite creative.

    The final product is often portable but still rarely as tiny as a mini PC or NUC-like. Depending on your needs, someone might be better off making a Steam Brick.

  • You're gonna want to upgrade that cooler to the Peerless Assassin 120 or the Phantom Spirit 120 SE. The Assassin X won't be able to handle the 105W CPU.

    I have a 5700X3D, which is also a 105W CPU, and smaller coolers just weren't enough, even with undervolting. I was always pushing max temps doing prime95, and upgrading the cooler to the Phantom Spirit fixed that.

  • First of all, I'm not trying to tell you how you should live your life. My following commentary is well-intended and in the spirit of making informed decisions, of which I believe everyone has a fundamental right. At the end of the day, follow your conscience. It's your life to live.

  • There's a saying: "Don't break Debian." It's considered among the most stable options, and that's in part because of its extremely long test cycles (which can come with its own set of problems, on occasion).

    I do find it curious that you've chosen to divest from even American FOSS projects. Like, Microsoft makes sense; they have no qualms about doing whatever they want with user data for profit, which inevitably goes towards billionaire machinations. But why draw that same line with FOSS?

  • No clue if he was joking, but last year, Charlie Brooker said Balatro was super addictive, that everybody was going to fall prey to its charms, and it would tank global productivity.

    Balatro showing up in Black Mirror tracks, because he's apparently a big fan of the game, and either it's a thank you to a dev he likes, or he genuinely thinks it's a (fun) digital trap for humans.

  • I don't think that way. Only when it comes from billionaires do I think that, but FOSS doesn't elicit the same feelings, nor does the advent of a new telescope or life-saving laparoscopic robot.

    The problem isn't technology, it's the billionaires, and we collectively groan only because they've been allowed to abuse humanity for too long. Black Mirror is only correct insomuch as we allow that to keep happening, and we're far from powerless.
