I started the ubuntu path on warty, was a distro vagrant after unity arrived, switched to debian a while which was and is fine, decided to give manjaro a shot and couldn’t stand it, but oh how that AUR made me swoon. Finally worked up the nerve to lose the training wheels and try just arch, got tired of the immense chore that it became and found EndeavourOS.

I cannot recommend endeavour highly enough. It’s exactly what I always wanted and as long as they don’t completely shit the bed somehow I doubt I’ll ever leave. I can’t speak to your hardware concerns, as I went full team red with common hardware for my last few builds because I knew they would have linux on them. The arch wiki is great. The forum exists. They have a plasma version.

The only games I have been unable to play are those that have shitty anti cheat software and the occasional very recent release, but those usually get resolved in a hurry. Genuinely no complaints.

I guess it was too long a read.

I guess fractions are hard?

= 1/2 + 1/2 * 1/3

= 1/2 + 1/6

= 3/6 + 1/6

= 4/6

= 2/3

I hope that obstinate pleasure tastes as sweet when the new Secretary of of Education goes back to burying people with their student loans instead working to find relief for them. And the Administrator of the EPA decides that forever chemicals in our water don’t need to be regulated. And the new Secretary of Labor decides union busting ought to be protected by the first amendment. And the Secretary of Energy decides wind and solar are the problem actually and natural gas is the future. And the Director of National Intelligence decides the National Socialist Database would pair nicely with the National Trans Identification Registry. Or when the 2-3 fresh, young faces on the supreme court establish fetal personhood. And overturn Obergefell. and Lawrence. and Loving.

well, 2/3 of it anyway.

“The danger of Trump is real and I don’t have a snowball’s chance in hell of stopping him. I’m still going to steal as many votes as I can from the only candidate that can beat him anyway, solely to make an ideological point. Please don’t acknowledge how this obviously helps him win.”

It’s my understanding that this would be a pretty low bar to clear.

An excellent question, one of the few in this thread. Not really. But as long as our gas is percieved to be less expensive than most of the rest of the world, and the well paying jobs it creates to build bombs and planes and such continue to exist, it will continue be viewed as beneficial.

Lots of things are easy when you refuse to acknowledge the consequences of your actions. Enjoy the sand in your ears.

I would love to vote for no genocide, but once again, even more genocide is not only on the ballot, but has taken the lead in the last few days. Meanwhile the no genocide candidate on offer here couldn’t manage to get on the ballot in enough places to to win and couldn’t be arsed to follow the rules in the places they did bother. So forgive me if I choose to live in reality and do the only thing I can that might actually stop the even more genocide guy.

And you think the average American doesn’t enjoy being a beneficiary of that system?

Hate to break it to you, but nearly twice as many Americans think we are providing the right amount of assistance, or should be providing more to Israel, than think we should be providing less in regards to their war. That is the direction of public pressure.

If you think voting in a way that helps Trump win is a vote against genocide, I have some bad news for you.

“Hey you know how there is an unbelievably close race between a centrist who wants to maintain the status quo but may occssionally bend to public pressure and an outright madman who want burn democracy to the ground while lining his own pockets and rolling back social progress to the 1850s? You should totally protest vote for a party that doesn’t have its shit together enough to even get on the ballot everywhere and has no chance at all of winning. That will show them how you really feel!”

I cannot imagine why main stream American politics doesn’t take leftists seriously.

Grow up.

The entire time you spend sitting at a light after it turns green is solely to wait for those gaps to reappear.

Since judges are not in the habit of doing things just because they were asked to by a lawyer, especially Republican Pennsylvania judges at the behest of lawyers for the Democratic party, I went and looked up the case.

They used ineligible electors to get on the ballot.

I don’t see how it’s the Democrats fault they weren’t up to the task of following Pennsylvania election law.

So duly elected judges ordered them removed from the ballot.

I can’t speak to Georgia election law, but I live in Pennsylvania and the Democratic Party doesn’t have any authority to kick anyone off an election ballot.

Without getting into the weeds of arbitration—if you want to sue Valve for some reason, you now have to file in King county, Washington. This makes it too expensive to be worth it for any amount less than the cost of flying to and staying in Seattle for a lawsuit. Even if you’re right and Valve is wrong.

Amazon recently did this too and it worked out well for them I guess, since other companies seem to have followed suit.

My favorite implication of these kinds of posts is that windows somehow doesn’t ever have driver issues.

TIL being poor is a trend.
