Polling stations are often in schools, and in my state it’s illegal to be armed on school grounds.

Have you tried decreasing your coffee intake?

We had a project that, by law, could only be touched by people within the US. We constantly caught Deloitte trying to sneak their (undoubtedly cheaper) off shore staff in there.

Nah. It tastes like burning plastic, only lasts as long as a whippet and fucks up your throat. Crack is a waste of cocaine.

The Holy Temple -> Arch Linux

Debian, blasphemer.

Idaho? I guess the Mormons are out to get me!

That’s utah.

Thanks for the tips but I’m a very experienced windows user, I did all of that immediately after install lol. To put it in perspective, my first step after installing bazzite was to join it to my personal AD domain that lives on my hyper-v cluster. If there’s something I could have done to get this performance on win 11 it would have probably been significantly more complicated and time consuming than any of the basics.

Yeah I ran my steam library past protondb before I started and a surprising number of games had Linux native versions. Of the rest, everything I actually want to play was rated either gold or platinum.

I get all that, they’re all very good points. I had windows tuned to the best of my abilities, I try to use windows whenever possible at home because I manage windows servers professionally and it’s helpful to get as much hands on time with the platform as I can. But this was such a dramatic difference out of the box that I’m going to stick with it for now at least. I’m not willing to invest the time into tweaking windows to run this well (if I even can) and it’s a dedicated gaming rig so many of the “Linux on the desktop” complaints won’t apply to my use case.

Mostly I’m shocked that getting significantly improved performance when running through a compatibility layer was even possible. I expected proton to be almost as good as native. In this instance it ended up being a huge improvement.

“They’re not gay. They’re not straight. They’re puppets”

I like that quote because it’s the most polite way possible to call people speculating about Bert and Ernie’s sexuality a bunch of dipshits.

That would be a prequel, Robin Hood was a feudal lord and crusader before he became a folk hero

I wasn’t sure about that article at the time, but it did inspire me to finally try out bazzite on a spare nvme and I found that a lot of my issues in games went away. Particularly fallout 4, the painfully slow loading screens between map changes are like 70% faster now. So I’m sticking with it for my gaming rig.

I never would have though running games through a translation layer could actually improve performance. Id heard a lot of people say so but I assumed it was just Linux devotees being fanboys. They were absolutely right.

no real thesis for ST in a post-911 world

Other than “Bush is right, when you’re facing a supposed existential crisis the ends justify the means”

I would watch the shit out of that, if it had an enterprise mirror vibe not a ds9 mirror vibe. Ds9 is my favorite series but God were their mirror episodes goofy af

Surely more regulations will fix this

Of course it is, it stars Steve carell.

You were very clear that you believe everyone is stupid except for you, yes.

No we’re not. I’ve already addressed this, please scroll up.

Yes, we are. If you believe people have to be tricked or manipulated into valuing different features than you do, you’re just using a lot of extra words to say “everyone is stupid except for me”.

they were swindled

So we’re back to “everyone is stupid except for me”.

It’s absolutely not. It’s not about what the consumer wants at all.

So we’re back to “everyone is stupid except for me”.

These companies didn’t remove them because customers wanted them removed.

Customers want thin, light, and good water resistance. Removing a port barely anyone uses was an easy way to achieve that and the vast majority of customers don’t miss it.

Are you beginning to understand how things you don’t buy still affect you yet?

So we’re back to “everyone is stupid except for me”.
