discusseded

I loooove my openSUSE desktop. 11 was the last straw. No amount of AI is going to bring me back.

I HATE advertisements, and I paid for Pro but it seemed like they didn’t care. They want to milk me for everything I’m worth.

Good thing we have options. Linux has gotten so good, it’s better than Windows 11 while letting me decide how to use the OS. Big learning curve, but it’s smooth sailing when you get past it.

Our ticketing system has “untrained user” and “works as designed, not as expected” as options. Can’t fix the problem if you don’t know its nature.

Adding that zorin was great as well but it’s Debian-based so driver support was behind enough that some games wouldn’t launch for me.

I like fedora but I’m really loving opensuse tumbleweed on both my desktop and laptop. I have Nvidia rtx cards and support is just a few mouse clicks post-image. I get better FPS now than I did in Windows 11.

I wanted to like it and I tried it over and over but I could not for the life of me get opensuse aeon or kalpa to work on my desktop when tumbleweed works perfectly. As soon as I installed the Nvidia drivers it went belly up and I couldn’t find help online.

I’m still new to Linux so I’ll accept that I need more experience but I can’t help but feel like a degree in computer science is a recommended prereq for this stuff since there just doesn’t seem to be solid documentation to get you through it.

That experience made me take microos off my server and put in proxmox instead.

Bottled water?

You’re trying to get me in trouble. I’m laying next to my wife who’s sleeping and I’m struggling not to lol. This sign is hilarious!

Microsoft Solitaire on Android. The ads were driving me nuts so I went to pay for the app. If I recall they wanted almost 10 bucks a month for that shit. Deleted, forgotten, until now.

Mine was a very similar path to yours. Way too many little observations that alone could have been shrugged off as a rounding error but taken together it was clear that shit wasn’t adding up.

Then I started listening to biblical scholars and now there’s nothing that could convince me otherwise. It’s a collection of human literature. The good and the bad that had come from it is only a reflection of our humanity.

That makes sense, thanks for clarifying. I agree, and what it boils down to is healthy communication and respect.

You seem to only be accounting for people who are like yourself. It’s hard to picture other people’s minds because we only have ours to go by, but it’s important to acknowledge that other minds work very differently from our own.

I was a habitual night owl in my twenties. Went to sleep at dawn and woke up around noon. I didn’t have sleep issues, I was always incredibly rested and full of energy.

Now I sleep at 10 and wake up around 6. I have less energy but I am now a morning person. I can easily get up at 4 for occasions.

You’re making judgements on others based on your own biased view, one that only sees it your way. That’s why you’re being down voted.

It’s like that episode of South Park where half the town supported the war in Iraq and the other half protested the war. Except in this case it’s all the same person.

Based on some articles I read I’m not too surprised. The guy sounded like he was getting looney.

When you stop thinking for yourself someone else will do the thinking for you.

It’s ok to lose, it’s an opportunity for personal growth.

Every person has a rich history and complex life they lived. Avoid the urge to pigeon hole, label, or otherwise treat people as a group.

But that’s exactly it, from another person’s perspective he’s not taking away anything, he’s giving. This is what I’m trying to highlight here and all I’m getting are squawks about Trump is bad, my sister is bad. To some people Trump is restoring a desecrated country. They grew up their whole lives with a certain world view of good and evil, it’s not their fault religion twisted their minds, this is the nuance I’m pleading you to take notice but all you can give me are limp platitudes that most people are good and bad, but Trump and his supporters are bad bad. Not very enlightening, because it doesn’t say much about the real life people we’re discussing.

Those people are not evil, though they may be doing evil. Just as you said, which means I expect you to acknowledge this point, “just because someone does good it does not make them good” works the other way around: just because someone does evil does not make them evil. This is why we need to find inroads with this group to create a space that can be shared peacefully by everyone. Calling them all bad and shutting down any effort to discuss only results in something even more horrifying, and frankly, evil: war.

The way you talk to strangers you don’t know you absolutely deserve the vitriol. Drink up and nevermind how desperately confused you are.

Spot on. Real life isn’t like the internet, when you act the aggressor the victim isn’t going to down vote your behavior, they’re going to run away or defend themselves.

You are simply wrong on all points here, with the exception of emotional clouding. There may be emotional clouding going on here, but it’s not with me and my sister. It’s with the left and Trump. It’s causing people like you to speak with insane antisocial rhetoric, and it’s what’s driving people further apart.

So you can play the part of the stuck-up bitch, or you can open up to people and their complex lives and beliefs, and see that things aren’t as simple as you are trying to make them out to be.

While I’m not orthodox, I’m well into the left wing of politics, and even I can see that Trump isn’t all bad. Few people that ever lived are all bad.

Ideally, yes. Practically? Not going to happen. We can’t expect it, we can only hope that’s what people are doing.

This fact is why you hear some people say that not everyone should be allowed to vote. There is a staggering amount of ignorance in our society, that’s just how it is.

It’s easy to excuse people when you have love in your heart. This may be what’s missing in our society.
