I think of it as the Shidas Touch

Ah fair dos, I’ve not actually tried much gaming on Linux myself. I did try and fail to play tarkov arena but maybe that was Ubuntu just protecting me lol

Yikes

What distro you on? I tried mint a few years ago and constantly had major issues. It was untenable. I’ve found Ubuntu to be much more stable and forgiving. Linux certainly demands a little more technical knowledge from it’s users but it definitely seems to be getting better year on year.

This is the way. I switched from w11 to Ubuntu recently (using it was like breathing fresh air after being in a traffic jam), and today I switched from excel to libre calc and my thought though was like, oh shit, almost every functionality I use regularly is just visible on the toolbars at the top. Neat.
In excel I usually have to fucking web search where functionality is.

I know it’s meaning just fine.

Quite respectful disagreement counts as a “tanty” now?
- Comment on No one else in the world matters but me 1 week ago:
Came to here to see if anyone would point this out. Calling it a fast lane shows people’s ignorance.
- Comment on Insulin 1 week ago:
Wrong. That’s not what it means, no matter what anyone says on here.
- Comment on Insulin 1 week ago:
Strictly, technically every other way China is still third world. This concept of third world being poor seems to have originated from the common charity ads in the 90s and 2000s who loved the phrase, and from the American exceptionalism that thinks everything not American is dirty and poor.

Awesome thanks for explaining that. That’s cool as hell.
- Comment on I dunno 1 week ago:
Explain yourself sir
- Comment on Insulin 1 week ago:
Usa is the hub of first world. Russia is the second. Thirds is everyone else.
- Comment on Insulin 1 week ago:
It doesn’t. It never did.
- Comment on Insulin 1 week ago:
People believe that only because they haven’t learned what it actually means.
- Comment on Insulin 1 week ago:
Third world doesn’t mean poor, it just means not aligned with US or Russia

- Comment on Refrigerator ads are finally here! 3 weeks ago:
For me its a principle thing too. I’ve always really despised tv adverts back when we only had 4 channels in the UK and I’ve maintained the hatred all these years. If you do even the most cursory dive into marketing you realise the people involved in the industry are the most vile, horrible cunts ever.
Fuck your ads, fuck your marketing. Choose no.
- Comment on Refrigerator ads are finally here! 3 weeks ago:
I can feel it coming. I’ve started to devest myself anything that dares to show me an ad. It’s liberating. You don’t actually have to live in their algorithmic black box. RSS still exist, fediverse isn’t going anywhere and the constellation of ad blockers are still doing the Lords work. Fuck the marketers.

What does this even mean?
- Comment on NHS staff who visit patients at home say St George’s flags can mean ‘no-go zones’ 3 weeks ago:
I’m so sick of the inability to speak like a human online. The way you’re being spoken to for acting like a well adjusted adult is actually embarrassing for this community.

I also have no idea about the ok gesture thing. The 1488 is something to do with Nazis, I know that at least.

As far as I’m concerned it’s between him and his manager.
- Comment on I know which I'd choose 4 weeks ago:
Literally every time I see this referenced I go and look at the original flier on the pole and laugh my sack off. The way the last line just says “1 day blinding stew” in kinda shitty letters just riddles me.
- Comment on Twinkle twinkle little star 4 weeks ago:
He got publicly humiliated and force to apologise. A man working for nasa pushing the boundaries of human knowledge forced to humble himself before a bunch of keyboard warrior puritans.
- Comment on Twinkle twinkle little star 4 weeks ago:
It was distasteful but he didn’t deserve what he got. Disgusting how he was treated imo.

Exactly. So it’s pure surreptitious data exfiltration. They only reason they send the data back is because they can, and there is value for them.
- Comment on Man Alarmed to Discover His Smart Vacuum Was Broadcasting a Secret Map of His House 5 weeks ago:
I think yes, to your first question. Couldn’t it just crunch the lidardata locally to feed into cartographer, I don’t understand why you don’t understand that this is the issue.

I was on desktop not app, where Spotify will let you search it’s catalogue without login.
