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

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).

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.

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?
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.

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.

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.
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.
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.

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.

Think about how you have treated both strangers and people you know to answer this question accurately. e.g.: If you say you like people but constantly avoid talking or doing any activity with other people do you actually like people?
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 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.
