WHAT BUTTON?!

Repeating the same thing doesn’t change anything, though… You made two arguments and left it at that. At no point did you suggest that they can be used simultaneously.

I dunno what to tell you my guy. Although, you suggesting that I claimed suppressors to be a common thing is all your doing, I just pointed out the humorous nature of your comment.

I assume you thought I am the same person as the parent/root comment… Which kinda makes your snarkiness look a bit like a jackass. But ya know, it is what it is.

Fuck cars

Don’t put your pp in that

“ear plugs do the same thing” implies either/or

Who’s next?

EPIC RAP BATTLES OF HISTORYYYYYYYY

But what if, what if… you combined both, instead of an ‘or’ situation?

Good god Jameson, you’re off the charts with the ideas this week!

The bot is coming from inside the house

(venting frustration)

I’d argue with the installer point - if it’s in the repo, and it almost always is for anything a newbie would be using, it’s actually easier. Search, click, done. BUT…

Drivers though, specifically companies not supporting Linux drivers, is shit. I’m helping a friend transition to Linux and am dual-booting myself so I can help with the actual os available for troubleshooting. And fuck me, sound drivers fucking suck ass on Linux. It’s because Creative is a bitch and won’t make Linux drivers, but also apparently literally nobody is both running a creative card and anything above 2.0 speaker setup. I have two creative cards, a decade apart, neither works with my 5.1 speaker setup. FL and FR work, the rest are some sort of fucked and come from an incorrect speaker(s). One of these cards is like 15 years old now, and nobody has noticed or rectified it. And if I reboot straight from windows to Linux, the sound is mangled. I need to shut the system down and boot it cold. Then FL and FR work. Hours of troubleshooting last week got me absolutely no progress.

Then I need software for my Logitech g903 (there is 3rd party software available) that does profiles and switches on the fly based on the application in the foreground (crickets).

Then there is an issue where if my monitor goes to sleep, when I wake it up I get patches of graphical artifacts. On the 2D desktop. Every few seconds, for about a quarter of a second. Random location each time. Random size. I’m on a Radeon 7900 XTX, which isn’t terribly new now. But the friend I’m helping, no issues at all with drivers or hardware. An older 6700 XT. But come the fuck on.

Both of us are on bazzite (I suggested it so they wouldn’t nuke the system as they learn) so it’s just Fedora silverblue with a few tweaks, not some out-there distro.

And, shit. If you need cellular connectivity on Linux, as far as I can tell you’re fucked if you don’t go the Ubuntu route. Debian doesn’t work, Fedora doesn’t work, Mint doesn’t work, I went down a rabbit-hole and tried a dozen distros. I ended up with kubuntu, since I wanted kde, but I tried anything just to see what would work. This is on a modern ThinkPad, still under (extended) warranty. I thought ThinkPads and Linux were supposed to be like this holy-grail of free-as-in-freedom computing? Ugh.

So yeah if you have a basic system, aged a bit, nothing special, it works well. Take one step outside of that perfect-scenario bubble, and paaaaaain.

You might say that they are being so very… Brave.

🎤 tap tap … is this thing on?

Guess they can’t search for news about their ‘special military operation’ then…

Simple, don’t have insurance

“I didn’t mean ‘they should kill themselves’, I merely stated that the old fucks should gtfo and cease to exist. By killing themselves. Media takes things so far out of context…”

“yeah, we let a dumbass access company files through his home computer which they didn’t maintain properly leading to a years-old vulnerability in the plex server software compromise that machine and because they are a dumbass they had the connection always-on (afaik) so they basically rolled out the red carpet straight into ALL of our customers accounts and vaults. But it’s totes cool brah, we haven’t had reported an incident like that since! because we totally tried to cover it up and downplay it, and everyone abandoned us! so we will never do that again! the reporting, I mean.”

But it’s fine, it’s been a long time.

WHICH IS TODAY’S SPONSOR

I used to think that those recovery questions are stupid, but no. The user is the stupid one, entering the expected information. A few years ago I just decided to enter another generated password in each of the recovery questions, and store them alongside the main one in my password manager. Yes, the school I attended in the fourth grade was nVKuq&zo5BiCOc*0JY5JZHsgRPqcJEumBKV5tt%uSk#acN60s!uLh5MIGwobA3YyHIq3dQxm8r0Yhloloc&3a3BLm!nNbAZ%Vzut - it’s worked for every site I’ve tried it on, too.

Uno reverse the hackers, 4 passwords instead of 1. 😎

Shh, you’re ruining the joke

Bam, bam
