You’re making the error of assuming conservatives have a status quo, or a party line, or any agenda other than being evil.

Dominant ear.

And with open source code, you have the right to copy and modify the code, and distribute your own copies of the original, or the modified code. Try that with closed source code and you’ll get a nice C&D shortly.

An odd pair of chromosomes makes it harder than being off by a pair. Mules are unbreedable due to their odd number of chromosomes.

We have successfully bred with species further apart, including an alpaca and a llama.

So yes all the science points to it being possible with humans, but ethically we can’t possibly do that.

And it is not one more mutation to add an extra chromosome. It’s a loooot more.

I’d start with Ubuntu. If there’s any niche software, it will probably run on Ubuntu/debian distros.

Was it the bill of rights? I thought it was the articles of confederation, which came before the constitution.

I’ve never used Wayland, x11 is fine for me.

I have also had issues with Wayland, but I have heard issues with Nvidia cards and Wayland.

Yeah, you look at how there are a handful of package managers, and hundreds of distros, they’re pretty much all the “same”

But yes gentoo and NixOS do things the most differently. But even on those you can game on them.

I mostly want to discourage distro hopping with the belief that they’re missing out on a program or desktop, only to end up on windows because they’re tired of reinstalling everything.

One important thing you need to know about distros: they’re all the same under the hood.

You can have any desktop you want on any distro. But some customizations are redone in some distros. In terms of programs you want to run, they pretty much all work on any distro. If a distro is “better for gaming” it usually just means the programs are pre-installed.

People talk about arch and Debian as the best because they have the least customizations, allowing you to install and customize as you wish.

Linux users are mostly tinkerers, they like their customizations their way. I’m in that boat. The less I have to remove to get my customization working, the better. Just give me a black screen and a white blinking cursor, I know how to do the rest from there.

I just sonic welded my steam deck, with extra rivets through the screen and fan to be sure.

I’ve been playing chess and chess puzzles.

I just don’t use my impact drill on them and I’ve never had an issue.

A used laptop with a fresh battery, SSD, and RAM would be the best performance-per-dollar setup, but I agree chromebooks are very cheap of you just want a simple web browser.

If you want to go with a chromebook, I repair chromebooks for my job. I recommend the HP 11 G8/G9 model. They’re light, cheap, perform just as good as any other chromebook, and they’re easy to repair.

Just work out after work, train on the weekends, and you’ll be better than a majority of people. And isn’t that enough most of the time?

If you look up “how to make a bookmark” for example, you might find the tutorial for the right browser you’re using, or you might find one for chrome/firefox/edge, or you might find a tutorial on a real bookmark.

Narrowing your search to the specific program you’re using will get you better results. “how to adjust mouse sensitivity in Linux” will not get you good results. Look up “… In Linux mint” or in your chosen desktop environment. You’ll get much better results.

I wouldn’t use the browser extension of bitwarden. It is safer to have it as an external program hidden from your desktop. I now know that you use bitwarden, and can plan a attack around it. Browser integration can be exploited if there’s ever a bug with the browser itself.

After a Pirates of the Caribbean drinking game, I’m getting into sea of thieves.

There’s definitely wifi and printers in hell.

Camera and batteries. Turn it on and send it. I’m about to host the hottest twitch stream.

When I was 18 I remember selecting “yes I’m over 18” for the first real time. I was just hit with the reality of “Oh. I’m not doing anything naughty anymore. I’m not in the wrong at all. I am now just a dude watching porn.” hits harder than you think.
