Well thats a condemnation of yourself, then. Not of me.
Cause if you cant see what engagement, and by extention, legitimization of their points due to that engagement, has done by this point… Then honestly you’re either blind and ignorant, or one of their agents trying to open the door with a soft approach.
- Comment on Mullvad VPN: Introducing Defense against AI-guided Traffic Analysis (DAITA) 1 day ago:
Because engaging in discussion with certain groups, does nothing but legitimize and amplify their messages of hatred and bigotry you fucking genius.
You don’t engage in polite discussion with people that want you dead, that want to seize power and implement fascist authoritarianism, and who want to purge the “impure”.
How you deal with it is by aggressively reacting to and putting down their bullshit, and denying them platforms which to spread their messages and hatred.
People like you, who want to wring your hands and play nice and polite with nazis their ilk, are doing nothing but pushing their agenda for them. People like you are nothing but collaborators, and people like you will end up on the wrong side of the stick alongside everyone else once you’ve outlived your usefulness.

How was it broken?

I dont have CS2 because, well, the obvious reasons. But I do have CS1, and its linux version is also a festering pile of rancid dogshit.
Running the windows version via proton made it run smooth, stable (well, as stable as can be expected with a few hundred mods…lol), and without headache.
so yeah, install windows version and use proton. Overall better experience probably.
Honestly, i think thats my advice about gaming on linux in general, to generally avoid the native version. Personally, I’ve only run into two games that the native version wasnt shit, and that was Stardew Valley and Rimworld.
- Comment on Are you prepared for the ramifications of windows 10 EoL? 1 week ago:
every year is the year of linux on desktop.
- Comment on Are you prepared for the ramifications of windows 10 EoL? 1 week ago:
I did it many years ago. Some minor hiccups (Mostly at the start, with a select few games taking a while before running well in proton), but overall my experience has been pretty smooth as well. Especially in like the last…3ish years? I dont think I’ve been held back from playing anything I seriously wanted to play.

Didnt there used to be Lindows PCs in stores?
I could have sworn I saw them in Walmarts like…20ish years ago? +/- 5 years?

holy shit TIL Lindows is still a thing that exists.
- Comment on TSMC says first 1.6nm chips coming in 2026 1 week ago:
This is what I’m talking about. This kind of weird, new shit, to overcome the limits we have to be running into by now with the standard silicon and lithography that we’ve been using and evolving for 40 years.
- Comment on TSMC says first 1.6nm chips coming in 2026 1 week ago:
I mean, chiplets are neat…but they are just the same old CPU, just in lego. and thats mostly just to increase yields vs monolothic designs. Same with accelerators, stacking, etc.
I mean radical new alien designs since we have to be reaching the limit of what silicon and lithography can do.
- Comment on TSMC says first 1.6nm chips coming in 2026 1 week ago:
I’m wondering how much further size reductions in lithography technology can take us before we need to find new exotic materials or radically different CPU concepts.

This why I love my username. Cause anyone that has a proper, well thought out retort will provide their proper, well thought out retort.
Jackasses that want to pretend they are still on reddit and have nothing to contribute, however, just love to throw the “hurr hurrr ur usarname r dum cuz u r dum lol me supar smartest” type comments.
- Comment on ByteDance prefers TikTok shutdown in US if legal options fail, sources say 1 week ago:
Especially in the era of autobutcher that thinks you should have typed something different and decides to change it a third of a second before you hit enter.
- Comment on ByteDance prefers TikTok shutdown in US if legal options fail, sources say 1 week ago:
Yes, and they should be shut down too.
You’re point?
- Comment on ByteDance prefers TikTok shutdown in US if legal options fail, sources say 1 week ago:
They’d rather shut it down cause they dont want to sell it and let an American company see how they use and abuse it to gather information and manipulate behaviors.
- Comment on Windows 11 Start menu ads are now rolling out to everyone 1 week ago:
It does. AMD support is baked into the kernal.
- Comment on Windows 11 Start menu ads are now rolling out to everyone 2 weeks ago:
Two big things to do before you decide that.
-
Do you run nvidia graphics? cause they are a PITA and influence your distro choice (you’ll want a distro that has nvidia drivers baked in.)
-
If you game, go to www.protondb.com and check out a handful of the games you play. 99% of games work on linux with steams Proton (lets windows games run on steam), the only ones that dont are ones with invasive anti-cheat, so use protondb to see if any of your important games have issues.

I made the swap years ago, it was daunting…and there were a couple issues, but overall, far more easy than I ever expected it to be. (for me, cause I built the PC with the switch to linux in mind, so all my hardware is AMD).

I never cared about task manager outside of the 5 seconds I it took to kill the occasionally obstinate/frozen program, so as long as it did that much, I didnt care about the rest.
- Comment on Windows 11 Start menu ads are now rolling out to everyone 2 weeks ago:
I wouldnt say I have nostalgia for XP itself, but I do look on it fondly, the same reason I look on 98 fondly.
It was better than its previous OS. More stable, more usable, requiring less reformats to keep it snappy and healthy, etc.
Which is one of the many reasons why 7 is the peak. Cause you didnt have to regularly reformat 7. It was just that good at managing itself, and its snappiness, that you never had to reformat/refresh the install cause it never got bogged down.

I’d rather use tabletified 8 than 10.
- Comment on Windows 11 Start menu ads are now rolling out to everyone 2 weeks ago:
shrug.
its what I did. Its not that hard a sacrifice.
really only asian mmos that had the obnoxious no-worky-linux anticheat to begin with, in my experience with what i played.
- Comment on Windows 11 Start menu ads are now rolling out to everyone 2 weeks ago:
XP was great, but Windows 7 was the peak.
its been all down hill from 7.

Microsoft has been giving it free left and right.

Big Business: We’re gonna stop rewarding hard work and loyalty cause employees are nothing but replaceable chattel that don’t deserve respect
Employees: Works only to the limit defined in their contract and not one inch more because they are disrespected and treated like replacable chattel
Big Business: God damn lazy workers just dont want to work anymore! What happened to this country?
Everyone with two functioning neurons of common sense: You. You happened to this country. Stop treating your employees like shit, Cause its not a worker problem, its a Boss/Executive problem
