Ah, I think there’s a bit of a disagreement here between what types of art are respectable and what types aren’t. For context, I subscribe to the definition of art that says “everything made with intent” is some form or other of art.

Suppose you go to a gallery. Would you consider handicap-hostile architecture, which is part of the exhibit itself, to be worth respecting as a art enthusiast? (Stairs required to be used in order to see a painting, specifically because the artist wants you tired from walking, not pushing a wheelchair, which they don’t like, when you look at it, for example.)

I could see it both ways, but I fall more on the side of accessibility. If an artist requires someone to use stairs to see their art, they are an asshole, regardless of how good their paintings actually are.

My 2019 Toyota corolla can go 120mph. My statement wasn’t about capabilities, it was about the sheer stupidity of driving those speeds at basically anywhere not set aside for it.

120kph is about 75 mph. So for this meme, 240 kph or so. Very much a speed you don’t want to be going anywhere near a city, or a highway with a curve in it in the next five miles.

Honestly, yeah. Bazxite looks neat, but it’s new and I’m still not sure what the point of it is, beyond a little bit of nerdy software management features.

Ubuntu is … gestures vagely … Ubuntu. Regular debian doesn’t really work well for steam related activities, and I haven’t actually tried fedora in ages but it looks to be doing okay at least.

It’s just, mint is so basic, but that’s honestly its greatest selling point. I love having good fundamental be the main selling point.

Defaulting to nano without explicit user consent will be considered a class c user experience violation

One step forward, two steps back. I always hate how politicians can be so accommodating of the popular minority while still being so discriminatory against the less popular ones.

I’ll give you ‘satire’. But I don’t really agree with ‘critiques’. The lesson i got from the movie was “stupid people can’t really have empathy, so they just need to shut up and let actual smart people do the important work”, and also eugenics.

If it was critiquing the modern corporate structure, it would have included actual critiques of the modern corporate structure, rather than a single poor idiot in charge of a big company who should have just let the smart guy fix it all for him. In short, comapnies as they are would’ve worked if only the smart people were in charge of them.

The other part is that they depicted the corporations as completely innocent idiots too; “the computer said the money went away so I had to fire people and now they’re all rioting in the streets!” As if the company wasn’t at fault for all of that.

I had thought that another part of it was the levels of harm compared to the problem; getting pregnant is incredibly stressful and possibly harmful, up to and including death as a possibility. A medicine that can stop that but has side affects that are less harmful than pregnancy is a lot more palatable. Whereas, for men, the harm caused by pregnancy is zero, so any harm caused by the pill is weighed a lot heavier.

F*CK

This guy clearly doesn’t actually fuck.

Nah that just does the drum loop for ten hours.

It’s not completely out yet. That was likely AWS being down.

Also, the new quantum protected message encryption headers are about 2kb. If that’s causing issues with your internet, you may want to consider looking at new internet.

we always use this laptop for our taxes, so TurboTax. Disk-wise

Independent of your experiements with Linux, it may be a good idea to switch away from turbotax. They’ve been lobbying to make filing taxes harder for the past 20 years.

More relevant to the Linux discussion at hand, they’re locked into a specific operating system, whereas the alternatives are much more modern and work just fine in a regular web browser. I’ve had good success across three states with freetaxusa, personally.

Not for me, that was painful to hear.

When you do get around to changing the graphics, maybe you can ditch the ovaries and uterus look of the logo.

Lmao I hadn’t even noticed, but yes, definitely that.

The slate truck has been advertising itself as open source; ironically partially funded by Elon, actually.

There’s also been a couple people saying they’d make one for the past several years, if my internet searches are a thing to go by.

This guy just started a company for managing an open source truck project, and he seems pretty serious about it. He just started though, so we aren’t likely to see anything actually come of it for several years. https://mutiny.fm/ https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=G-QgQitWNLY

There’s also the tabby evo, which is for sale right now, but I’m not so sure I’d call that a car so much as a gokart that may or may not be street legal. https://www.openmotors.co/product/tabbyevo/

Yes. Because it is. https://www.hotcars.com/this-country-is-still-producing-ww2-willys-jeep-parts/

Absolutely not in the states though. Whatever came after passing safety regulations wouldn’t be a Willy’s Jeep.

Unironically yes.

Yeah. Everyone assuming this is some sort of praise or support of the current presidency really don’t know how that phrase is normally used. Half the time I heard that phrase it was in a “wtf is going on right now”/“this shit sucks” sort of way.

Shitty clickbait title is shitty.

It costs money for them to attempt to sort between honest/upfront advertising and the scummy kind.

I have had no issues running beatsaber on my 7900xt/5800x3d. I assume you don’t mean anything else either. /s

to be honest, i have had nearly no issues running anything at all. Only bf6 has been a notable failure for me so far.
