And i am going to point out that i responded to the part of your comment that i had a problem with.
I don’t know anything about the “point of your post” so i can’t comment.
But i would say that after brief google search, if Tim Sweeney wants to defend AIs making deepfake porn then X is 100% thr best platform to do it on. 🙄

Right wingers? You mean a nazi? A nazi took twitter that was traditionally not a political platform. It was not left wing. Google says a study showed that it was algorithmicly right leaning in terms of content.
Your comment is a load of bollocks.
Sorry to say.
- Comment on Windows 12 release date in 2026 possible, with AI features that may force CPU upgrades 3 days ago:
Great points.
But i feel like they apply more to people who are already using linux. For those struggling to make the switch i would argue ease of use and familiarity are key. Mint and ubuntu are a great place to start.
You are right though.

Got any tips on a good model to get? I want one that i can access remotely via my phone. I have to relevant tools to make it remotely accessible but the cameras need to be able to speak to my software. I have a raspberry pi that i can use as a server.

I thought audio quality was more to do with the source and the destination. If you have a shit needle on a record or a speaker made of wood then its gonna sound like ass.
I never once thought it had anything to do with the cables. Unless they were frayed or damaged in some way.
But i am not an audiophile, i record my own music and mix etc, but never worried about cable quality before.
- Comment on Windows 11 just lost 5% market share in two months despite Windows 10 losing support. 4 weeks ago:
I was too scared to move to linux at the time. It was always something i had many misconceptions about, that only people with specialist knowledge could use and that if i wanted anything to work i would need to know how to code at an advanced level.
I cant speak for then but now at least i have found that the communities are incredible, loads of work is being done to get everything to work and easy to set up. Github is amazing and i am learning slowly to use and love linux.
So far i have only worked with raspberry pis so raspiOS and linux Mint cinnamon. But i am going to be getting a small PC to test different linux distros on until i find the best one for me. Although Mint has been great so far.

Nice that you have downvotes but no one had anything to say to you.
I dont know personally but if i had to guess i would say it might be harmful to local businesses but thats the only way it can be harmful to the people it needs to be. How do you police which businesses are not corporate owned? Do we rely on good faith? Word of mouth?
Plus i am not sure a business that cant afford to do without a day of business is doing very well.

Although in both cases all screens are different sizes and i have a kvm set up at home which allows me to switch the two larger (but still differently sized) screens to show my raspberry pi desktop or my wifes laptop for when she works from home where she has a 13 setup.

Your individual change is a drop in the ocean but everyone making that change is a tidal wave. I have very recently moved to linux after almost 30 years using windows. It is an incredible set of OSs with brilliant support from a fantastic community and it keeps getting better.
We need to make the change and encourage others too.

Whilst you are probably right, upvotes are not equal to good content. There is a strong correlation between votes and good content but one is not the cause of the other.
Eg. Facists upvoting facist content. Its not good content, but its got lots of upvotes.

- Comment on Arc raiders is a horrible game 1 month ago:
I couldn’t get into predecessor, the matches take too long and the grind for coins to get new characters is slow. As MOBAs go its not bad. But i wouldn’t say great. And i definitely enjoy ARC more.
Baldurs gate 3 is a given. Best game of the last 5 to 10 years for me. Hands down.
Skyrim is boring as hell. It was marvellous when it came out, but its been released so many times and feels too clunky theses days.
Cant comment on dark souls, those games are too hard for me.
Didnt know runescape dragonwilds was a thing but after a quick google i am very interested. :)
Not played killing floor or first descent so can’t comment.
Imho ARC is certainly not a masterpiece but i do feel like a lot of what you dislike about is comes down to your personal bad luck and experience. I have had a very different experience with it, where the PVE has been much more prevalent that the PVP. I dont really follow the story, i just like sneaking around and killing the ARC. I play duos with a few different friends and enjoy the occasional brush with a hostile player. For me it really is occasional. I would say 10% of my matches i get someone shooting at me. And only about half of those end with me dead.
But i fully accept that the same applies to me. My experience of the game is not yours. So i appreciate that my personal view doesn’t impact yours.
- Comment on What is with these videos where it's just someone reaction to shit someone else is doing? 2 months ago:
When i was a kid me and my 4 siblings would often have to take it in turns to play single or 2 player games. In the mean time if you weren’t playing you would watch the others play. It was exciting rooting for one player or another, it was great when something funny happened, or when someone did something amazing, whether on purpose or by accident whilst button mashing. Even single player adventure or rpg games were fun to watch. It was kind of like watching a movie. You were there for the fun bits, the exciting bits, the sad bits, the shocking bits. Even watching, you are part of it.
Admittedly, despite this, i initially didn’t find this sort of content appealing as i thought there would be something different with me not being in the room and it not being my siblings. But after watching a streamer who makes other, non-game content do a few multiplayer games with other people that appear on his stream i found that they can be just as fun to watch. You still get a bit of that feeling and its still enjoyable. Especially if you are watching live and can take part in the chat. The rest of chat are substitutes for my siblings and the streamer and his buddies are all funny and the camaraderie is very familiar.
All in all i would say, you might be suprised if you gave it a go.

- Comment on Some people prefer corn for some ungodly reason 2 months ago:
This is kind of what its like for me. White onions, same as you, they need to be basically liquid/mush before i can eat them.
Red onions however are the devil. I can’t stand them in any form.
For me its an issue of texture, i hate how it feels to eat onions and peppers. I have been physically sick (vomited) because i bit into a bit of onion/pepper i didnt know was in my food. My body just rejects them.
White onion= flavour good, texture bad (unless mush) Red onion= flavour bad, texture bad Pepper=flavour overpowering and i am never sure if i like it or not, texture bad.

- Comment on Samsung to halt SATA SSD production, leaker warns of up to 18 months of SSD price pressure, worse than Micron ending consumer RAM 2 months ago:
Yeah, cant do any transcoding though, but i dont need 4k for everything. Though as long as my client can play the format of the video then theres no issue. It would be easier with a mini PC but im enjoying learning linux and really liking the rasberry pi in general.
In terms of SSD. I could use a HDD. But it comes with 2 disadvantages. 1 is that media i copy from other devices to the drive takes A LOT longer to transfer. And 2, i have a big clunky HDD on my desk next to my 5 inch Pi… just makes more sense to use an SSD.
But essentially i guess its just not great to assume that there is no use case for them for home users just because you dont have a use case for them personally.

- Comment on Samsung reveals first tri-fold phone 2 months ago:
Yes. There’s a crease in the middle of the screen.
But its invisible to the user when looking at the screen.
It doesnt impact using the screen.
Its barely there on the latest fold 7. Definitely more prominent as you go back through the versions. Regardless i have owned 3 generations of the phone and used my wife’s one so 4 generations total and the crease doesn’t matter. Hasnt mattered on any of them.
What do you think the problem is with there being a crease? What practical issue does it raise? Or is it purely an aesthetic issue? Becaus3 if it is, like i said, you cant see it when you are the one using it.
