They were just pointing out that saying “my PC my rules” is pretty funny when you advocate for closed source software on it. Your PC their rules.

Obviously it was tongue in cheek so chill.

I think it’s specifically because of Musk’s recent comments regarding Canada. Pretty easy and painless win change for the Court as I don’t imagine their social media presence is too important for them.

I think when most people fantasize about socialism they are thinking of Nordic style and not authoritarian CCP style.

My litmus test is the ability to openly criticize your government. In an open and free society this is allowed.

Any authoritarian society, regardless of economic system, is not in the right track. In my opinion. Then again I only consume western media so maybe the CCP isn’t that bad. Can you tell me what happened on June 4th, 1989?

Strong disagree with this.

Like most adults, I HATE my job. Every day I go into work I die inside. There is nothing rewarding about my job other than the pay check.

Still I try hard. Every day. It makes the lives of my co-workers easier. It makes my boss’s life easier. They are real people in my community and I care about how my actions affect them. Work ethic means a lot to me.

I get hating your job but half assing your job every day is awful for society.

I work in government.

Is this how a Fourier transform actually works?

Used to have Slackware as a daily driver in 2005ish, will arch be similar or more difficult?

Sorry, what does Munich have to do with this? I’m not connecting the dots.

Using calibre to just upload books directly.

I’ll check out KoReader. Never heard of it.

Ya good point.

Seems like I’m doing it backwards lol

Giving money to Amazon for the hardware and then stealing from the authors.

I should do some more research before buying my next ebook reader.

I bought a Kindle so I can pirate all my books. Am I resisting?

Yes I’m also capable of reading the wiki but it did nothing to help me.

My point stands that it’s not “ready” for the average person. This is a Linux community of course people here know how to troubleshoot and get shit working.

Yea like I said I’m not a total noob. I have built my own Linux From Scratch distro which is something I think most of the users on here would struggle with. All I’m saying is that it’s not a totally smooth and hiccup free experience for normal people. I’m a grown man now and sometimes I just want shit to work cause I only have like an hour to game in the evening.

I will try Linux again for my daily driver once Win10 support is gone but I will likely try something other than Debian as others have suggested. Something more gaming centric.

Agreed.

The idea of Vancouver being in the EU is crazy since it’s halfway around the world.

Although there is French Polynesia and other overseas territories that are part of the EU so I guess it’s not that weird.

I’m not a Linux noob, but I’ve been out of the scene for a few years.

Recently tried debian with KDE and Wayland on a modern PC with a 3060. Just a default install.

My mouse could barely track across the screen, it was very choppy and stuttered like crazy.

This was in the last 6 months. I got it fixed by switching to a different compositor, but I shouldn’t have had to do that. Even then I found YouTube to be super laggy.

It’s just not ready.

Google 50501

50 states, 50 protests, 1 day.

Feb 5th at your state capitol.

This reminds me of a site called hackerslab back in the 2000s. I think you had to ssh in to some Korean server and try to get the password for the next level.
