  • I skimmed over the full text earlier, it gives reasons for why it was the gravest crime against humanity, and in general did seem like it meant the gravest that ever happened (that we know of at least).

    It also mentions (and really is about) reparations which I suspect mightve influenced the abstains even more than the assertion that it was the gravest crime. Easier to weasel yourself out of doing anything/keep reparations low if you can say you never really voted yes on that.





  • Afaik it’s a displayport issue (because DP has the feature to detect if PC is on). I’ve had the issue on multiple monitors that it wouldn’t turn on the next time I booted the PC. After a lot of unsuccessful googling I finally found that the pc off-> monitor off -> pc on-> pc doesn’t see monitor -> monitor stays off apparently happens because of a capacitor not discharging properly, getting the monitor stuck in “pc off” state. Flipping the monitor power switch (or disconnecting the power cable) for 15-20 seconds has so far always fixed it for me.

    But maybe there are other reasons too.

    That’s not what fascism is either lol

    I wouldn’t call china fascist, though doubtlessly authoritarian. But I don’t have nearly as much info on china, it seems to me the persecution of minorities is less of a central political scapegoat and more some weird side thing. But without speaking chinese, I might be wrong. The US had plenty of fascist characteristics at this point and is rather open about the persecution.

    Having steam installed both ways was the easiest way to be logged in to 2 steam accounts simultaneously.

    But also why does it matter, the whole point of arch is that you can turn it into whatever the hell you want. If that means using discover as your main source for programs, then so be it.


  • In the strictest sense there is no technical definition because it all depends on what is “intelligence”, which isn’t something we have an easy definition for. A thermostat learning when you want which temperature based on usage stats can absolutely fulfill some definitions of intelligence (perceiving information and adapting behaviour as a result), and is orders of magnitude less complex than neural networks.

    You… heavily overestimate a grandma with 0 technical skills.

    It can be installed in 20 minutes with a youtube video by a person with 0 technical knowledge that is comfortable using a computer and doesn’t get scared seeing a terminal.


  • I’ve noticed that my windows always takes a minute to launch when it wants to sell me on either its surveillance bullshit or force windows 11 on me. And because I don’t launch windows that often, that is basically every time. Otherwise it’s quite fast at 10-15 seconds.

    Linux usually boots in around 10 seconds (including loading the DE after login), though sometimes it gets stuck for a bit after login for some reason.

    Pc players being fewer depends very much on the game, the ea sports games are notoriously console heavy to the point where often the features of the pc version were heavily outdated. Iirc battlefield’s playerbase was historically always more PC focused. And I don’t think it’s fair to complain that pc games run like shit because they don’t cap the graphics.

    If you’re just gonna play a few games a year, consoles are without a doubt cheaper right now though. They also don’t have the ability to play any of the games I regularly play, but that, like the playerbase, is entirely dependent on the individual.


  • Powershell is nice for scripting things close to the (windows) OS. But (granted I’m not exactly some PS wizard, I’ve just used it a few times for minor things at work) I agree it often feels unnecessarily verbose and cumbersome. For example the fact that you need to define a whole function to alias even just a single command with parameters. And just overall I find it very hard to read (though maybe that’s on the guy that did the powershell stuff before me, I don’t have great sample size here).

    But I’ll take what I can get.
