So I’m a die hard apple boi as well, but I’ve been getting into Linux a bit lately (to replace my windows machine that was solely for gaming)

I think the main reason I still stick with Apple over Linux for most things is that Linux requires more tinkering.

Every time I wanna play a new game I need to try out different versions of protons until it works. When I need a new software, I have to go google if I CAN have it, how to get it, or to find out what exact version I should use for my distribution, etc.

Linux, as impressed with it as I am so far, is like having an old classic car I’m fixing up. It’s a hobby. I need to dedicate time to learning, maintaining, and optimizing my experience. So it’s great for my hobby of gaming!

My Mac just works when I need it to work, no tinkering, no second thoughts. It’s the boring but reliable modern car I take on long trips. I just use computer, get work done, without roadblocks I have to google derailing me every 10 mins.

I’m all for Linux, I’ve very much enjoyed it so far and will continue learning, but as a “normie” using Linux, the simplicity of Mac is often missed.

Yeah it’s not the choice for your daily driver. Def an enthusiast segment of cars haha.

A shame. Because stylistically I really like Maserati. Guess one day I’ll just buy a lightly used largely depreciated one lol

Dems did not supply the matches lol. Republicans showed up with a flame thrower.

But whatever. There will be no winning you over, even with facts provided. Later boo

So the people doing nothing are causing more harm than the people actively hunting and persecuting me?

I’d disagree. That’s like saying my neighbors who didn’t put out the fire in my house are just as bad as my other neighbor who started the fire in the first place.

We have two choices.

Democrats haven’t done a damn thing…

Not sure what you have, what your trying to do, and am pretty new to Linux myself, but I’m running KDE neon with a 3070, and after a little work to get drivers updated I’ve had minimal issues!

I’m not doing anything too crazy though, mostly web browsing and gaming is all.

I love that you think OTHERS need to go back to Reddit. With comment’s like this you’d fit right back in bb!

Also everyone say ty everyday for your ability to block people! It’s incredibly useful!

It’s because of those 4 years that we can’t let it happen again… He showed us exactly what he would like to do. But now he’s had a practice round and can make “better” plans for next time.

I don’t like it, but in reality I have 2 choices.

1. Someone who is supporting awful things around the world, but will (at least temporarily) protect myself and my community. or
2. Someone who will continue supporting awful things around the world, and will without a doubt persecute and hunt me and my community.

It’s a shit choice. But its an easy choice. One candidate is a very real threat to not just myself, but my friends, family, and community. The other is not.

I’d love our magic 3rd option to show up and be viable, but they won’t. We all know this.

I’d argue an airfryer is better to leave alone then an oven. They turn off on their own, so if you forget about them, it runs its 20 mins or whatever then turns off.

My oven is on for the weekend if I fuck up haha.

I just got a steam deck, and needed to install FF14 (non steam) so I was mucking around in desktop mode… yeah. I’ll prob be getting a spare drive for my tower now to try out Linux. I’d love nothing more then to cut ties to windows.

Unless I die tomorrow and never get to use all the money I suffered for now to use later.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s a balancing act. But there’s no promise I’ll even make it to retirement. So I’m going to enjoy my now, just in case.

It’s not bad to be skeptical considering their record. It’s responsible. Yes. It’s good that they are doing something to make things more safe. But yes it’s also good to continue to call attention to the ways this new tech can (and almost certainly will) be abused.

They dug their own hole of skepticism, not us.

I don’t really care if someone’s “tired of hearing ACAB” if people are still losing their lives unjustly to bad cops. Continuing to raise awareness in any little way is better then not being annoying.

Who’s working “maybe” 3 hrs a day… all the programmers I work with every day are on 10 hr days right now……

But I’ve seen enough of your comments in this thread, so I’m super sure you “know a guy” who will prove little ol me wrong.

Why can’t I make a thread? Why can I only use one emote? Why can I sometimes see a message on my phone but not on the computer? Why is there an “old” and a “new” teams app? Why does each one constantly ask me to use the other one? Why are there god damn Mabalene video filters, but yet my god damn calendar won’t sync properly with outlook. Why when I update my picture, does 1/3 of my team see the new one, 1/3 sees the old one, and 1/3 just sees my initials. I’d continue but my thumbs are tired.

Teams actively makes communicating with my team more difficult and I hope it dies so soon.

As someone who worked for Activision, in QA, on major CoD titles, I guarantee you that wasn’t QAs fault.

I can’t even count the amount of bugs my team found, documented, and raised a hell of a stink about, that still went live.

Major bugs like that in live are not due to QA missing them. It’s due to the rediculous pace ATVI makes the team put out content. Doesn’t matter if QA reports something, if the devs are not given the time needed to fix it.

GOTTA GET THAT NEW BATTLEPASS OUT!!!

I’m super happy to see this. Just a few years ago, I was working as QA in a studio adjacent to this group. (We had our own QA, but worked alongside the activision group) and god they needed to do this.

So happy to see them fighting back. I hope the rest of the employees who don’t get fucked QUITE as hard as QA join too.

I worked for two triple A studios and we have had both our dev kits and high end PCs at home. There are so many tools to encrypt, secure, remote access, manage, etc, that it’s no problem at all. And most are tools these companies are using anyways, in office.

Both companies actually got MORE productive with work from home. My old company is forcing people back to office, but my new one isn’t. I wonder if it has anything to do with that big office building they just bought…

It’s called having a conversation…… someone says something. Someone else asks a question to stoke the conversation….

And like. Context as well. yes it is a diff conversation if they worked 45 years min wage vs 45 years as a mega corp ceo lol. It def is a valid question for someone to understand the conversation that’s happening.

No ones being hostile by trying to get context to continue the conversation that was totally friendly until they got butthurt for some weird reason.

I think they mean the average person isn’t going to take the time to check 20 different contacts apps in the store to find the perfect one, then do it again with every other basic app on their phone.

They’re just gonna use the default app 99%
