I can not tell the improvement since 1080P. Are these TVs letting us see into the future?

But but but, don’t you want better hardware so we can read your brain waves to automatically show you something you’re in the mood to watch while we save that info and sell it to someone who wants to control your nervous system later?

Please Europeans, please stop buying American goods, using American social media, and ffs do not come here. If there is no profit to be made, they’ll stop bothering you.

I am running Arch with Hyprland, and I have not had any issues with games yet. I have not even tried Proton yet. Maybe it is because they are supported on Linux. I can not remember though.

Cool. I dl’d it. Thanks.

I just downloaded the 23G file or whatever. If there is a way to checksum portions of it and run a script against the online checksum to detect differences, that might be one way. The only problem is that it is now being modified for political purposes. This version might be the best we will ever get. I almost wish we could download a pre-2020 version. It would eliminate both the slop and any influence that came after the sudden wealth gap increase that occurred during the pandemic.

That is cool WSL accomodates graphical apps, but after the recall Windows feature that snapshots everything, I’m about to remove Windows from my last computer that still has it. I really just need to figure out if my Steam save files will transfer to Linux since my Elden Ring character is level 220 or something crazy. I can’t even use WSL at work any longer because security locked us out of admin permissions. Boooo!

This is not true. We have enough priduction. Wtf are people throwing away half their plates at restaurants? Why does 1 rich guy live in a mansion. The super rich consume more than people realize.

- Comment on We hate AI because it's everything we hate 2 weeks ago:
It helped me rewrite a program with different criteria, and it was much faster. I also read everything it wrote and told it what corrections to make. It is good for speed. It also taught me a coding trick or two. It is definitely not reliable, but can help a bit.

You say that like things improved.

I am not even sure a peertube client is needed.

You were a good 10 years ahead of me. I was using AOL and Netscape on a 386 Pentium back then. I started on Ubuntu, but I dislike Canonical who makes it. Therefore, I would try Linux Mint. It is a Debian distribution. It is good out of box. At this point I would give it to a grandma. If you want to be cool again, there is still Arch and stuff like that, but I have that and maintaining it gets old sometimes because custom built things break more during updates. Linux Mint or Fedora. I also hear good things about OpenSuse but never tried it.

Spite has been a powerful driver in my most recent software choices recently. I know how it is.

I was just thinking that I should host a “how to” peertube instance.

Why?

On the off chance that you have not heard that Linux is way more user friendly now, I recommend switching over. Especially if you are able to update the computer frequently.

That does not apply to most people. Also, peertube is really getting better recently.
