Beware that Nvidia cards have driver issues, they’re fixable but if you do have an Nvidia card, I’d just use the built in graphics chip for trying out Linux at first.

Well, shit. Extra work for me. I knew I should have waited for the AMD series to be in stock…

I know just enough about Linux to know I should have been getting into it when I graduated over a decade ago.

I also know just enough to know it can do pretty much everything I need, as long as I’m willing to switch to a Linux alternative with similar capabilities.

However, I am Linux-dumb and deeply set into my windows, to the point where I’m not sure I have the technical savvy to switch.

From my understanding, Linux works very well, as long as you know what you’re doing.

I’m sure I’m overestimating the learning curve but it’s still intimidating.

I saw the headline, my brain went “so he’s being held in contempt, as would any other person refusing to answer a question, right?”

Of course, I already knew the answer.

People in these comments act like the computer will just stop working.

If you mean the cheap white/green plastic injection molded chairs? I’ve never had one break on me. That’s an insult to the chair.

If you mean the shitty things sporting goods stores keep in their giant bins as soon as you walk in the door during spring? Yeah that tracks. Although I’ve had some that require fancy slides and buttons to collapse, thus making them harder to fold than this wet lump of shit.

You first.

But seriously, it gets annoying, but at the same time it’s the biggest scam on the fediverse right now that I know of. So I feel like a little visibility once in awhile (not 6 times a day) that lets people know about it is fine.

To anyone who knows: is there a way to filter out usernames containing that name? Like if I could block dms from my chosen instance, that’d be great. I’ve been getting 2-3 a week.

I’ve been constantly reminding my in-laws that they are proudly wearing “the mark” on their foreheads.

I’m not religious but it’s hilarious to me how many things point to him being their antichrist, but they’re plowing headfirst into it anyway.

Exactly what I was thinking.

When you’re cut off from any help, you ARE your own help. Don’t wait for something unthinkable to happen, this person has made it clear they don’t respect you or boundaries, and have made threats.

It’s 9v1, if you’re scared just wait until they’re asleep. Kick them out the door, lock it, and they can try walking their happy ass back to civilization. from Antarctica

Don’t bother looking for a body.

My wife bought a bunch of books to keep herself occupied at work

She wasn’t able to choose a book to read next and ended up having a mild anxiety attack.

So I made a chart of books, gave her a d20, and once she finishes one series she rolls the die and reads whichever book she rolled, or rerolls if needed.

Shit like this is why I donate to Wikipedia.

Fuck off and die, nazi scum.

This will be much less funny when it’s the black bag squad roaming around in unmarked vans kidnapping people for not having Trump’s mark on them.

I think you hit the nail on the head with that “you just read the title” and now they’re mad for being called out.

Embarrassment can cause people to lash out in irrational ways.

Well, I’ve only seen d9 and chappie, so I’m not too hopeful.

Honestly it’s more “I’m so tired of remakes” but hey, I’ve been pleasantly surprised by movies before.

Fingers crossed its good.

Lmao this will be so neutered and watered down it will be unwatchable.

$5 says they make it a generic action movie with no deeper meaning than “bugs needed killing we just defended ourselves”

I have a idea. We do our own scream test.

Let’s turn his brain off permanently.

And we Don’t bother listening for anyone complaining about it.

It’s the perfect plan.

My parents, my parents church, my in-laws, my sister, my wife’s friends, my old dentist, my old doctor, and several acquaintances.

So that’s like… At least 3 people.

Can’t wait to find out how accurate the map is!

You know in like 10 years.

Maybe 8 if things continue the way they have been recently.

Lmao how pathetic must your life be to wish such things over minor annoyances on a website.

Go touch grass

I’ve just taken to saying “provide me with evidence or shut the fuck up” usually followed closely by “how about one that’s from multiple independent sources and not from a fox opinion piece or personal blog”

Apparently that sort of thinking makes you a teenager with no world experience. At least that’s what I’ve been told I sound like.

The moral high road is filled with corpses.
