That was one of the things that drove me away from Windows. Coming to my desk in the morning to see my computer on not sleeping because it woke up to apply updates or some other shit pissed me off.
Just one of the many ways that with Windows, my computer didn’t feel like I was in control of it anymore.
With Linux, I’m in complete control and it feels so good. Also knowing that I’m not giving out data just by using my computer is great. And FOSS is just cool.
To be fair, dysphoria is a disorder, but it can be treated by changing your gender and being accepted as that gender. It’s just that they hate the treatment.
You’ve only cut out the roaster, which does nothing to solve your supply issues.
I agree. HDD to SSD was a huge leap. NVME was a small, sometimes noticable upgrade. Past that, I can’t tell a difference. And it’s hard to get excited about the hardware updates when the software can’t use it.
I have never once been about to tell a real world difference in SSD speeds. Until OS I/O code improves, faster SSDs don’t excite me.
Even if I don’t think it will happen, I can dream, can’t I?
Apparently I wasn’t clear. I think Democrats are completely feckless and failing us.
I agree with you. Democrats are feckless.
Fuck Mike Pence. The Republicans are not going to save us. What we need is for Democrats to challenge Trump.
Because of Proton and also how shit can just break on Linux (see the current glibc fiasco), it might be better to have just a Windows version.
I when I play a game, I don’t even notice if it’s Linux native unless the game specifically tells me it’s a Linux build.
Didn’t be so hard on yourself. You can also pester us about the status of Jira tickets.
Despite all of the evidence to the contrary, you chose to be confidently incorrect about this?
A hard line angled up at about 45 degrees.
So, slightly tangential, but I have a failed home automation project this past week.
I have been using an unofficial integration for my mini-splits for a few years. The guy who wrote it likes to disappear for 6 months at a time and it seems like it may be abandoned. It finally stopped working after a home assistant update.
I had bought some ESP based replacement dongles about a year ago and decided to finally use them. Well, not all of the features worked, so I set about writing my own firmware.
That ended up working even less well. I wasted a lot of time and effort trying to get my firmware to work before giving up and just moving to the fork of the original Home Assistant integration for the official dongles.
I hate being beholden to third party stuff like this because I have robust automation setup for my mini-splits and updates can completely break them and be a massive pain to fix.
I’m not sad I tried and failed so much as I’m just sad it didn’t work. I may try again sometime in the future.
Think about all of the times where you’ve been scared instantly but things turned out alright. It would be exactly the same, except there’s nothing after it.
Just play NMS. Get it on sale if the price is a concern. It’s neat.
Wait. You want anti-corpo social media, but not anti-corpo discourse??
Look at your banks and credit cards features. Some of them have virtual cards that you can use. They’re temporary numbers you can use to buy things.
Good to know. I thought it was behind on features.
Because they are one of the most consumer hostile gaming companies. The only redeeming quality is their games are usually top notch. I personally refuse to give them any more money.
