Back when I was still on Reddit, I made a comment on a chess sub saying that in chess you are not allowed to make your king “commit suicide” to explain how a stalemate works. One day later I got a message about suicide prevention because someone flagged me for promoting suicide.
What a dumb site.
I hope he got a cup of plain hot water for this.
It’s just another case of Musk trying to sound smart but instead ends up proving that he doesn’t even have a basic working understanding on the subject.
I guess this time the only difference is that it doesn’t look like he paid an actually competent person to help him with it.
If you think of it, it’s kind of messed up that he’s holding the shell of one of his soldiers with intent of using it as a projectile
I think the word is ragebait
That’s why I’m running GrapheneOS, where I can actually disable things.
They don’t want you to disable things they can make money off of you with.
I’m just waiting for them to move up from 550 for the production branch. And so is anyone else running an Nvidia card with OpenSUSE. Is there any way at all to tell when that will happen?
The badly framed picture and finger in front of the lens are nice touches.
The one on the bottom right should be the same as the center right but with “Apple” written instead of “Microsoft”. And maybe with the hand of the character representing Apple reaching in the other’s pocket while doing what he’s doing.
I’m in this picture and I don’t like it
As someone who recently switched to Linux and doesn’t like to tinker much and doesn’t have very deep knowledge of Linux, I’ll share my experience. Whether you ultimately try or not is up to you.
Your requirements for accessibility suggests you should look into a distro with KDE Plasma as many said already. It is an extremely flexible and customizable DE.
I personally started with Mint and ended up somewhat wedging KDE in it because I didn’t like how cinnamon was handling multiple monitors. It worked but was a little rough around the edges in that setup, as it should be expected with a distro running a DE it wasn’t meant to. If you don’t mess with the DE however I’ve found Mint to be super easy and approachable. But ultimately it might not be what you need.
After doing a lot of research and comparisons I then switched to OpenSUSE Tumbleweed with native KDE plasma. A few things took a little extra tinkering and learning to get them to work but after that it became the setup I am happy to stick with for a long while.
I have no experience with them but KUbuntu and Fedora Plasma Spin might be also good alternatives to look for.
Running games is very easy through stream and still relatively easy with Bottles, which is rather easy and straightforward to lean to use. As long as you have the right video drivers installed. I have an NVidia card which made it a little more complicated but I made it work still. My understanding is that this shouldn’t be any issues with AMD cards right out of the box.
Ultimately it will require you to learn a little here and there whenever you come across something you don’t know. But as someone who only has an extremely shallow understanding of how the OS works and basic common console commands I have found no problem so complicated that I couldn’t handle with a quick web search.
If you look back at the sci-fi movies that came out soon after lasers were invented, you could see that people had all sorts of crazy ideas of what a laser could be used to do and that a lot of them had absolutely no idea of what a laser really did. Ultimately, we’ve found out that most of those imagined uses were pure bullshit or extremely impractical, at least with the current state of the technology. It didn’t mean that the technology was useless. We ended up finding all sorts of useful purposes for it that they had never imagined, like disk players or barcode scanners. It only means that it took time for people to better understand what the real world applications of the new technology was and a lot of the initial assumptions were dead wrong.
AI is going through the same process. It will take time before the technology’s strengths and weaknesses are better understood by the masses so it can be better applied to more realistic uses. And for the commercialization of snake-oil applications for it remains confined to fringe markets.
Big dumb corporation doing big dumb corporation stuff. It’s so big it can’t behave coherently anymore. But it’s also so big that it acts like a black hole that sucks all the money towards itself regardless of how stupid, unproductive and wasteful it is being.
When the marketing guy tries to do a job meant for the engineering department.
My grandma doesn’t understand what tabs are and never closes them either.
Actually it was underengineered. It was underbuilt in places where it mattered and overbuilt where it didn’t matter, using completely unnecessarily expensive materials and manufacturing processes and completely inefficient design.
It was like it was designed by an engineer who was fresh out of school with no understanding of real world cost effectiveness.
In my area Kia drivers are also generally bad, but more in the “drive 20 under the speed limit for no reason while dragging a traffic cone that they’ve hit ten minutes back” category.
Looking back at my life having seen my salary slowly increase over my career, you always end up taking for granted what you once worked hard to get and comparing yourself with people who make more, making you want more. But nobody should make so little that they have to worry.
