Not even one of those points will accelerate Linux adoption to being with a decade of the snowballing level at which point it could Dethrone Windows.

You been drinking some absinthe or smoking the ganja-weed?

Or just straight up snorting Flakka

Might we considered there may be a tiny difference in scope between an OS and an app like Armory Crate.

Because they’d need to support it or hire an assload of developers to bugfix and contribute to the projects they include in their distro.

And that’s something those companies don’t like doing.

System76 is a hardware vendor specifically created to cater to the Linux sphere.

I guess they mean “how to make buggy messy often usermade Desktop distributions more popular.”

As Linux itself is insanely popular, it’s everywhere and runs everything. From the vast majority of server and network infrastructure to most phones.

Considering they were making enough to agree to pay 2.4 million to Nintendo, they were making bank of the emulator.

If it went to court, this would’ve been much much higher.

Imho you’re wrong there.

Amazon has every incentive to write down Twitches infrastructure cost as far higher than it needs to be, to make Twitch look unprofitable.

Both to audience and shareholders. It’ll allow them to force more advertising and push up sub prices while making the main corporation revenue look better.

This while the long term plan looks to be more about getting an excuse to shut down the public facing side of Twitch and get rid of having to deal with the streamers and viewers as direct clients and renting out streaming infrastructure to other streaming sites instead.

They want to condense their streaming services to simply be simple products they can sell or rent out to other sites rather than having to deal with a load of consumers and legal liabilities that come with them.

Pretty much this.

I’ve become so jaded with people in general I can’t be arsed bothering with what anyone but my wife and mother think of me, do to me or say to me.

(my dog and cat too tbh)

My downstairs neighbor seems to be wearing some of those glass breaking pens you can buy for emergencies, as heels.

Our apartment is incredibly well sound proofed, you can’t hear any of the city noise and usually can’t even hear the elevator bell on our floor, even though it’s obnoxiously loud. You also can’t hear voices, radio or TV from downstairs.

But yet my downstairs neighbor, who apparently ALWAYS wears heels and can’t sit down for longer than 5 minutes, manages to make it sound like someone is constantly hammering a nail into solid concrete, with every step she makes.

The tack tack tack tack noise coming from down there, you can figure out where she is in her place, simply by where the sound goes and comes from. From that I know that while most of the layout of her apartment seems the same, two doors are in places where we have walls.

Before doing anything, if your screen allows it, swap DP to HDMI or HDMI to DP as output, that may fix this to the point of being able to actually boot and further fix the issue.

I’ve had this before with drivers where suddenly it would fail on either port but would still run on one of the others.

Yeah, doesn’t take much to warp a young mind with pseudoscience and pseudo philosophical blathering.

Because the right has coopted the religious right, this is just a merger of oldschool professional religious apologists tactics into political discourse and it took scores of Atheists making videos, doing talks and going into debates to show these people for the lying pieces of shit they are.

But because they moved into fronting as purely political, rather than religious, the Atheists stay away, because it’s not their fight.

I tend to watch the whole Marvel lineup to this day starting early December and my wife and I watch the whole shebang of Harry Potter on Christmas eve and day.

March/April I tend to rewatch Boston Legal and the cliffnotes of Dragon Ball OG to Super. Rest of the shows I rewatch aren’t as tied to time of year.

If you plan on using something like Gentoo, building Gentoo and running it in a VM a couple times tends to be a smart play.

I’ve been using Gentoo for ages, as I’m a stickler for stripping down everything to its bare minimum and even I tend to first have a couple runs at building and running it on new hardware, from within a VM.

Going in knowing the intimate details of the hardware you use is always going to be a big plus.

I have some alone time with my wife.

I got a company to install an extra consumer grade internet connection with a different ISP on top of the main (already redundant) business one.

Sold it to them as being best for redundancy and to make sure that if sync traffic between our 6 locations was heavy, it wouldn’t impact the main line.

The main line was actually more than sufficient to handle 100x the heaviest traffic we ever had. We were right next to a university, which got us a hookup to the national backbone on fiber (this was in the age of T1 and T3 lines being the norm, 2 of those 6 locations had to make due with 256KB lines), so it was rock stable, blistering fast and because it was backbone connected, utterly and completely unrestricted and unmonitored by third party.

But the advantage of consumer lines in that period was that cable and DSL were starting to become common for consumers, at speeds comparable to most business internet lines. These also usually had dynamic IPs.

This was simply so my and my colleagues internet and at the time Napster traffic wouldn’t show up on the traffic logs and wouldn’t be identifiable by our official IP range :p

“The party of personal responsibility” has never found an issue they couldn’t blame on someone else.

It’s all projection, all the time.

Oh no, but they sure as hell went balls to the walls Austin Powers tier cartoonishly evil since then.

The thing with Google isn’t that they removed the “don’t be evil” mantra they held for 2 decades.

It’s that in the 5 years since officially removing that mantra, they’ve done their best to be the most cartoonishly evil they can be.

Yes.

In Belgium.

Generally you can only easily buy hunting rifles here.

But you can buy every kind of firearm if you get the proper licenses and have them registered.

My uncle is a gun nut. He doesn’t fire them other than the required qualification renewals. He’s more into them to show off and simply have them.

His most prized guns are a Barret M82-a1 and an antique “elephant gun” chambered in .577 Express.

He has a load of various revolvers, handguns, a couple ARs and an AK, all bought legally.

All but the “normal caliber” hunting rifles he owns are to be either disabled (firing pin removed) or stored at a shooting range.

Most of them are disabled and in a display case at his home. The Barret, 2 ARs and some of the handguns are at the shooting range.

EDIT: note, there are of course different regulations when you’re in a profession that requires a gun, like security.

My answer is how it is for your regular person that just wants guns for recreation or show.

Because pirated versions will be running a VLK license while there is no VLK subscription on file or run a KMS software to fake the authentication of licenses.

Or in some cases, just run pure unlicensed and Windows will tell you on the desktop itself that the copy is unlicensed.

If inspected, you have to prove you have the correct licenses.

In some cases you’ll be allowed to just buy the licenses there and then, but if you’ve been running dozens of unlicensed copies or dozens of straight up illegal copies (with faked/cracked/stolen licenses), they’ll put the hammer down and you’ll be audited in detail to the point they’ll end up billing AND fining you for every piece of software you’ve used in your entire history.
