Until Destiny 2 gets Linux support I'll unfortunately always be bound to windows. At least as a dual boot.

But if I'm forced to use windows anyways I feel like I'll never make the jump to Linux. I've got a Linux laptop for the other use cases but gaming remains Windows only for me until the game I play with all my friends is cross platform.

But this man still thinks Linux is difficult and not easy to use

He explicitly said that it was incredibly easy to get set up on old hardware and that everything he did just worked.

All of his reasons why Linux is hard to use he specifically framed in the context of "historically speaking Linux was bad but now Linux is good"

Were you even paying attention?

That said, if you've ever tried to pair a controller with Linux that isn't a PS5 or Xbox controller it will be rough. Had to use the CLI to change Bluetooth configs and install non standard drivers to support it on Mint

As a cyclist in NYC the complaint that bikes are weaving through cars is hilarious.

Of course they are. Cars are almost always stuck in traffic while bikes move faster.

I can make my 12ish mile commute in 45 minutes. Until the bridge I spend every mile of that commute passing cars.

That's all besides the point though: there shouldn't be personal passenger vehicles in NYC. Business vehicles sure. A few taxis are personal vehicles because of Uber - sure. But there should be 0 street parking and heavy restrictions on where drivers are allowed to go. We need to take back our streets.

I like how the article slams USB 3.2 vs USB 4.0 but ignores that Google was saying " As of August 202_4_ "... A date that notable has not yet occurred.

Do you have a passport?

Shure != Bose, but also I don't think you can shower in the Shure IEMs. Maybe with a case or something on them.

I use Aftershokz for something like shower listening but those are the opposite of your problem - they're bone conduction so they do not block any sound.

Also to be clear - my earbuds are wireless in that they just clip to my belt loop with the Bluetooth receiver. So I can have them out of the way but easily available.

I know you're specifically looking for ANC but given the price range have you looked at something like a good quality pair of wired IEMs with a pair of tightly fitted ear tips?

I ride the notoriously loud (94dba) NYC subway with them and it deadens most of the noise.

I used to wear my Shure 215s to sleep no problem. I've had them a couple years now and love them.

I've got a Qudelix 5K Bluetooth receiver that lets my plug in any wired headphones to it and it's great. I'll be replacing the battery here in the next year or two which is a bit fiddly but is at least doable - unlike earbuds.

My setup was about $200-$250 total and it's modular so replacing any part of it is cheaper.

Fans make such a big difference and on hot muggy nights they're soooo nice

Not to rain on your parade too much here because fresh peeled stickers are great but - citronella candles don't do much besides smell.

Studies show a 24% reduction on number of bites but it doesn't keep mosquitos away so much as reduce it a bit.

The best mosquito defense is deet and number 2 is a few strong fans since they suck at flying.

It will make murder legal for him, depending on how the Supreme Court rules on the presidential immunity case. Which they're conspicuously refusing to do before the election.

If they ruled presidents had immunity it would literally make murder legal: Biden could legally murder Trump and only face impeachment. No criminal proceedings could be brought against him.

They're obviously not ruling on it now. Cynically one could argue that they're going to change the ruling depending on who wins. If Biden wins reelection then they'll rule that presidents have legal limits. If he loses then they expand the power of the dictatorship.

A distinction that only matters to people who want to fuck kids.

It is. From what I can tell the AI doesn't usually respond to "obscene" questions.

It is not real.

There have been a lot of "inspect element" fakes going on.

But there are also a lot of real ones. Like "Drink 2 quarts of piss" or "Add glue to your pizza"

All good, it was just very confusing lmfao

I can't tell if you're familiar with the franchise making a sick, well deserved burn or if you're actually earnestly asking.

Destiny 2's final raid drops in 13 days. It's the culmination of the entire franchise's storyline and my raiding team has been practicing for weeks to prep for the day 1 raid race.

We won't get first place or anything but we hope to finish in the 99th percentile.

Yes but binary and non-binary is a binary.

0 and 1 are a binary.

The entire original joke was just a dumb technicality: anything that is divided into 2 groups is a binary.

Your meme is correct but also doesn't change the original post, which is still correct.

... How does that relate to the question asked?

Polyamory isn't cheating though.

Cheating is, by definition, sex with another person against your partner's will.

It's not cheating if it's consensual.
