I don’t think there’s more disinformation as before in terms of % of info being wrong, but a lot of people have gotten really good at calling it out. The best example on-hand is the “cigarettes are good for you actually” and “we will buy tramways put of every city in North America and tear them out, then sell you a car!”

It’s always been like this.

It’s a risk I’m willing to take!

A test for what? From where? I don’t get it

Some of those were hilarious, like the one who didn’t know there were shots, so he just said he collapsed then was escorted off the stage, or the “I wish he would Van Gogh away” one

That’s not gonna do more than a drop in the bucket. Y’all’s government thinks tech can fix something that good pedestrian-first infrastructure should fix. That’s kinda wack.

Vehicle sizes, hood clearance, non-car-centric infrastructure mandates, that’s the sort of things rules should include. Not “let’s have AI decide if the pedestrian or cyclist lives”

No, because he was against the whole ethnicity, not just the state.

They have lots of time and motivation, as well as zero shits to give about getting caught. It’s Actually a pretty good thing that kids are trying to bypass security because it naturally teaches them problem solving in a novel way

The example of buying water in cans and protein bars are like… Ok, the money we spend on those was spent on wine and chips by my parents. Habits haven’t changed. Prices have.

His butt is dumb. It’s ok, his face is brilliant!

Now show how much trouble windows users need to go through to remove S-mode because Microsoft considers chrome to be a “potential security risk”, which… Yeah, it kinda is!

You in the US? Amazon.ca doesn’t have a “buy this much for free shipping” option as far as I know.

What a beautiful excuse to drop prime. Unfortunately my own changing of behavior won’t change anyone’s, but hey, at least I guess it’s less money spent monthly.

Probably something like this.

So if I’m using one of those single cup keurig-like machines that don’t actually use cups, I’m a Mint user?

University shortcut. When you have to take notes on paper so damn fast, you develop techniques. Those techniques get shared around. That’s how it was explained to me.

Genius. Absolute genius.

Funny how reality caught up to the memes… well… not funny, but you get it.

Make sure to make gore red and nudity green to fuck with all the colorblind people out there

You know, here’s the funny thing about Ghost Recon Wildlands.

Ubisoft and Riot really need to have a talk, because the Valorant anticheat fucks with the Ubisoft anticheat. In the end, I couldn’t even run Wildlands on Windows until I uninstalled Valorant and its anticheat. It’s too bad that such a fun co-op game is stuck behind some of the most obnoxious “protection” on the market.

The “gaming” issues in Windows are almost non-existent. I can easily plug 4 wireless controllers, set them up in 5 minutes max without command line to play Tape2Tape. I can buy and download my games on another platform than Steam. I can play Valorant. I don’t, but I can…

To me, Linux seems great, until I want to play games. Looking up what to use for gaming, pop! os, manjaro and mint are all that appeared in search results. I didn’t want to get in the deep end with Manjaro and I don’t really like the pop! os vibe, so I got Mint.

So for anything other than gaming, I agree. Linux is better. It’s more performant, it’s more convenient in most cases (looking at you, keyboard layouts that can’t be removed in Windows for no reason).

For playing games however, without both Gamepass, or being able to just click Play and start the game, instead of installing GE Proton, then go to protondb every time you start playing a game to check which version of Proton you need to run, it will never truly compete with Windows.
