  • His foreign policy of “Fuck you unless you pay us more” is preferable?

    Also, her name is spelled Kamala and I’d wager you know that.

    But thanks for trying.

  • I have decided based on your post history that you are a troll, a Trump supporter, and are doing everything possible to spread FUD with no actual reasonable discourse.

    You are now blocked. Maybe stop wasting so much effort going against someone and start working to find a viable option for the next election — if indeed you’re not a troll and a MAGA moron.

  • Making this election about this one issue is exactly what Trump (and his ilk and foreign supporters) wants. People are falling for it again just like they did in 2016.

    If you want everything to burn, and the US to cease being a country, then by all means, vote for Trump and fuck over the rest of us who are actually reasonable people who would want reasonable solutions to a wide variety of issues.

  • it just doesn’t want to work with epic

    Use Heroic Games Launcher for that. (Sign into Epic and you'll see your games)

  • Have you tried Lutris + GE-Proton + umu?

    Edit>> Simply: Install Lutris, install Protonplus, install GE-Proton9-15 (or latest) with Protonplus, install game within Lutris. Configure the Runner for the game to use GE-Proton and then run the game (which Lutris will launch the game using umu).

    I’ve been running WoW this way for many months with no issues and no fps problems.

    Edit2>> You may be able to tell Lutris where to look for the game, but I would advise installing fresh on your ext4 or btrfs or whatever Linux drive you have.

    Also, if it helps get you away from Windows, I’ve been running games this way since April, and finally dumped Windows for good. The only games I can’t play are those with unsupported anti-cheat (which I don’t play anyway so it doesn’t affect me).

    Edit3>> And in case you were wondering, I’m running Garuda Linux (Garuda KDE Dr460nized version but I changed the theme).

  • Damn good point! I feel the same way about CEOs as of late and how they think AI is going to solve everything, even problems they invent just to say they’re using AI.

  • In my experience, as a 25-year developer in mostly OOP languages and frameworks, is that people who attack OOP usually don’t really understand it and its usefulness.

    And to be fair as it relates to attacking languages or language concepts, I attacked JavaScript without fully understanding it, many years ago. I now understand it more than I ever have in the past and it has some good qualities.

    So these days it’s no longer the languages or language concepts I take issue with (though I’ll joke about JavaScript from time to time). It’s the developers who misuse or misunderstand the languages or concepts that irk me. And especially the developers who think being lazy is a virtue.

  • And I won’t bother to watch it because I know all I need to know about the moronic felon. Enjoy the show :)

  • She is the inevitable result of a severe lack of education mixed with the backwoods of Georgia, sprinkling on some homegrown racism and lust for power.

    She is the last gasp of a dying ideology, thrashing about in the hopes that something will stick. She will be irrelevant soon enough. But sadly soon enough is not soon enough.

  • And Monopoly is insanely easy to win. Just never buy hotels, and buy all the houses. They’re purposefully limited as a resource.

  • Because we have brains that are capable of critical thinking. It makes no sense to compare the human brain to the infancy and current inanity of LLMs.

  • The problem with that is it has led to ignorant people believing they’re smart — all because they can find any random site that backs up any nonsense they assert. Critical thinking and credible research are endangered concepts now.

  • I have been using Linux off and on for 25 years (using the server pretty consistently, but always hedged with the desktop for various reasons). Since Proton and GE-Proton allow every game I want to play to work in Linux, back when Recall was first announced, I decided to finally stop hedging and went all in on the Linux desktop.

    And I’m not going back. Everything is working for me and Microsoft can screw off if they think I’m going to allow such blatant spyware in my house. Their telemetry was always suspect, but this is now overt despite any assurances they attempt to make.

    Edit>> And their “oh you can uninstall Recall” isn’t trustworthy when they will easily reinstall it with a Windows update (they have done this in the past with other software — notably Edge and Teams).

  • This article sounds a decade old.

    systemd attempts to cover more ground instead of less

    Have I got news for the author about the kernel he seems to have no issue with. (Note: I love the Linux kernel, but being a monolith, it certainly covers more ground instead of less, so the author's point is already flawed unless he wants to go all Tanenbaum on the kernel, too)

  • Maybe not unique in my opposition…but…

    CEOs. (Especially of large companies)

    They rarely know what they’re doing, are guessing 90% of the time, bandwagon anything they think will make them more money or notoriety, and get paid exorbitant amounts of money doing nearly nothing to actually earn it.

  • I used to adore her, back in the day when she was on Carson. Then she had to become successful and turn into what she is now. Humility is not a concept she has ever pondered.

  • Like somehow picking the new ruler of Numenor. Such a weird thing.

  • It’s strange to me that if the guy has such a problem with how open source software works (such as his code being used (ideally with license being followed), bugs, pull requests, etc), why did he not just keep it closed source?

    Seems to me he either didn’t understand how open source works, or he got in way over his head.

    You’re right, though, best to ignore.
