I’m thinking of ditching it. It’s been pretty awful lately. A lot of the official extensions I relied on have regressed to the point of being useless.

Also, releasing a FLOSS editor and then forcing you to use a proprietary build with telemetry if you want to debug .NET code is the most Microsoft thing ever.

I’ve been using this adapter for both BT and WiFi and it’s honestly pretty good. Works out of the box and I’ve experienced zero hiccups in the past 6 months. So long as you don’t mind the big ass antenna that is

I’d still recommend getting an AMD graphics card and generally prioritizing hardware with upstream drivers. As in, drivers that are included with the kernel itself. The experience is always better. Overall it’s still a good habit to look up how any hardware runs on Linux before buying it.

Gaming in a Windows VM is possible but it was a big ordeal when I did it. You have to make sure your CPU and motherboard support IOMMU for PCI passthrough. It’s less of a problem nowadays but there are still some pitfalls with PCIe lanes and whatnot. You need two video adapters, one for the host and one for the guest (because the host has no access to the passed-through GPU) and if you want to game on both Windows and Linux that can be a pain in the ass. It goes on. I personally don’t recommend it. If you have to play trashy eSports that ship with built-in anti-cheat malware then just Windows for that.

Give zoomers a break. Most people have terminal baby duck syndrome and will sacrifice anything for convenience, regardless of age.

Digital sanity. I do not want any of my tools to constantly beg to be updated.

some context: “pogo” is a brand of frozen corn dogs which is for some reason also a cultural staple

that person is an embarrassment. thinks it’s OK to be a reactionary so long as you pick safe targets. block and move on. or if you absolutely have to punch up or sideways, try to be funny jfc

and hexbear mods this means you too. do better

To clarify, enculé means “someone who gets fucked in the ass” and has its roots in homophobia but nowadays that’s not really part of the intent.

Never figured out what “de ta race” is supposed to mean though. Maybe “you’re a poor representative of your race”?

It’s archaic but I love “raclure de bidet”. Comparing someone to the stuff you would scrape off of a bidet where all sorts of people have washed their taint. Short and loaded with contempt.

“Gibier de potence” is great too. Means “game for the gallow”, with the term “game” using in the hunting sense. Basically someone you think should be executed.

Also “chien sale”, dirty/unclean dog, which for a reason is a stand-in for “asshole”.

It’s an investment, remember

You don’t need to go super far left to find convincing arguments against US foreign policy. Noam Chomsky is a mainstream intellectual after all, and he coined the phrase “consent manufacturing”.

The idea that the US acts in total self interest should be presumed true in all cases, but that doesn’t on its own defeat the idea that its intervention in Ukraine is good. The logical next step is to ask ourselves whether this intervention ever had any chance of changing the outcome of the conflict at all. If it didn’t, and most people here would agree that it didn’t, then the US’ involvement amounts to wartime profiteering at the cost of human lives.

edit: I should also add, there’s good reason to believe that NATO expansion is what caused the conflict, and that the west did this in spite of clear and explicit warnings from Russia

Because the reasons to support Ukraine are supposed to be noble and not completely self-interested. That’s why there is popular support for it. McConnell admitting that it’s about funneling money into the military industrial complex, at least in part, ought to make at least some people reconsider their assumptions
