Mechanical feedback > anything else. Knobs, dials and buttons are easier to repair and last longer. They are the superior way to interact with devices.

Does "Rock music is evil / of the devil" have racist roots?

As a Christian most of the circles I’m around are pretty chill…no stone-cold fundamentalists. But I have been around people (and even had family members) who are 100% convinced that rock music is evil and will lead people to engage in witchcraft and draw pentagrams all over their home....

the_q,

The holidays always sucked, you just didn’t notice. It’s just this mad dash to spend as much as possible on crap. That’s all it ever was.

Is Ubuntu deserving the hate? (lemmy.ml)

Long story short, I have a desktop with Fedora, lovely, fast, sleek and surprisingly reliable for a near rolling distro (it failed me only once back around Fedora 34 or something where it nuked Grub). Tried to install on a 2012 i7 MacBook Air… what a slog!!! Surprisingly Ubuntu runs very smooth on it. I have been bothering all...

the_q,

As an operating system Ubuntu is great. It’s user friendly, has great hardware support and is up to date enough for most users. Canonical though… That’s where the real sore spot lies for a lot of die-hards.

Why don't rabies infected humans act like rabies infected animals

This always puzzled me. Why don’t humans act much more aggressive or crazed like its often depicted with animals. Afaik there’s 2 types of rabies, “dumb” and “furious” so my question is more towards the 2nd type. For example, we never hear of rabies causing a human to accidentally bite another human so why is that?

the_q,

For one rabies is super rare in humans. When symptoms begin to show in humans they either die soon after or are sedated until they die. Some do rage, but again rare disease and quick death means you don’t really get to see rage happening.

the_q,

You left off the part about this being just your opinion and a lot of people like gnome.

Also, what kind of monster has desktop icons or files in 2023?

the_q,

No wonder you guys say you don’t like Gnome. You like clutter and lack organizational skills. It’s ok though. We all have our burdens to bear.

the_q,

Oh I know I’m just being purposefully jerky. That’s the best part about Linux; options!

the_q,

Having the money and time to go on a vacation softens the blow is seasonal depression too I bet.

the_q,

Imagine a full Linux desktop experience while plugged into a monitor and then a mobile experience on the go. That’s the dream.

the_q,

Yeah, but to be fair it seems more feasible now. Maybe one day!

the_q,

Nuke it and install Pop for Nvidia. No sense in using Arch.

the_q,

Correct, but when you don’t know how to install the drivers for your GPU you might hit be ready for Arch.

How do I cope with my father hating me?

My father, who convinced me (16 m) at the time to move in with him instead of my mother when they moved. All 3 of the other siblings stayed with my mother. He then kicked me out the week I turned 18, a week into my senior year. Since then he stays in touch only to speak with his grandchildren (now going on 4 kids). I have never...

the_q,

Just stop talking to him. Just because he donated DNA doesn’t mean anything if he treats you badly. No contact.

the_q,

You run programs or operating systems off that 10 TB HDD?

the_q,

Well good on you for not caring about load times, but for FF16 that 6TB won’t cut it. Moving forward platter drives will only be useful for storage, hell I’d argue that’s how it is now.

the_q,

Ok, Boomer.

the_q,

I figure you needed one since you’ll be dead soon and the planet can move on from your lead poisoned bullshitery!

Rest in piss, Grandpa!

the_q,

Oh good! You’re a product of the empathy lacking, lead based monsters I alluded to! They had lead poisoning as their excuse for being functionally moronic, you’re just a cunt.

the_q,

Did Fox News tell you that?

the_q,

Linux is waiting, you guys.

(solved) I can't get my linux system to run properly

I chose to use opensuse tw kde based on some vm tests. The installation was easy but for some reason the video playback on youtube is terrible. It stutters. First thing I did after install was to use opi to install codecs. Then I used Yast to get the Nvidia repo. Lastly, I used the software manager to install the video g06...

the_q,

I hate to sound like a recording, but Nvidia is nearly always the issue. Plus it’s rare to find someone choosing suse as their toe-tip into Linux. Grab Pop!_OS for Nvidia and try that. When you’re more familiar with Linux then you can start poking around.

the_q,

It. It’s not a person. It’s not a consciousness. It is a tool of capitalism.

the_q,

Common sense.

the_q,

You think the current ChatGPTs and 7 finger art AIs are hiding something, bud? Lol indeed…

the_q,

Wow… Critical thinking is genuinely a lost art form.

the_q,

I would imagine any belief of efficacy is placebo. Now a heroic dose, that’s where the real change can happen.

the_q,

If you like trying to take something simple and make it super complex for no real reason then might I suggest you don’t?

the_q,

Seems like a good way to trick sometime into trusting a complete stranger with one of the most intimate bits of info they have.

the_q,

I genuinely don’t care for people.

the_q,

If only there was a secure and open standard that would work on any platform, regardless of ecosystem…

Oh well!

the_q,

If I had friends that would rather exclude me from communication than either use a different app or find some way to include me then I would absolutely not want those people in my life.

the_q,

People with big trucks didn’t haul anything anyway. It’s all just manly cosplay.

the_q,

Build quality? You mean replaceable parts vs glue making things feel more solid? Have I had this conversation with you before?

the_q,

Rufus. It’s an app that let’s you create a bootable USB of a Linux distro so you can leave Windows behind.

the_q,

Lol

the_q,

Oh shit are they gonna add even more ads and micro transactions?

the_q,

The whole idea of a designated time of the year to mass purchase items is just one of capitalism’s greatest tricks. But to answer your question, the ultra rich aren’t human and don’t receive gifts like you and me. Their gifts are the loopholes, human suffering and collapse their greed creates. Merry Christmas.

the_q,

I’d be mortified. I don’t think I would ever recover.

the_q,

It’s simple; he was an awful man working within an awful system. It’s not hard to succeed when you’re perfect for a job.

the_q,

Capitalism isn’t purpose and purpose doesn’t exist.

the_q,

Smokers and vapers are both disgusting.

the_q,

Adding Joplin as an alternative as well. joplinapp.org

the_q,

What is reddit? Seems like a worse rip off of Lemmy.
