Well, it’s primarily my coding laptop, so I prioritize the OS that has the best tooling for my needs there. Gaming is just a happy secondary option on the machine. :)

The stereotype is of the haughty Linux user, but fuck me all I ever see in these discussions is Windows users being belittling assholes.

See if you can trick Ross Scott into playing it. :) He has near infinite patience for forcing old games to run, and a skilled network to lean on.

Take your aggressively rude snobbish attitude elsewhere.

I run Windows normally.

How long does your Window box function without updates? How long does it remain safe? Historically, a few months at best until they bundle telemetry in a new way. Then you need to find another rando dude’s github for workarounds.

Anyway what you are describing is literally a hassle that for me is just not worth it. I can do all that and set up and update group policies for updates over and over oooooor I can literally spend less mental energy figuring out how to configure my drivers on Linux.

What you do works for you and you feel it is convenient. That is fine.

I have a Windows laptop specifically for gaming, but I end up using my Linux coding laptop for games in the end.

It’s less hassle figuring out how to enable nvidia drivers on xorg in GNU linux so that I csn use Proton emulation than to deal with this weeks clusterfuck of windows update trying to make me turn on ads and spying and trick me into using a microsoft.com account to log in.

I am not joking.

The windows still has some dust on it from when I did some house renovations months ago, because I haven’t been bothered to use it.

If Wikipedia had balls

If this is your reaction to a thoughful response, you are not going to find deep discussions anywhere, even where they exist.

The Fallacy of the Beard

Get your opponent to concede a point by burdening them with defining a strict threshold. Break their claim into smaller and smaller components and keep zooming in until you are looking at such tiny things that their original claims seem overblown.

This man has a beard! Does he? Yes clearly! 20mm hair on chin!

Would he have a beard I mean an actual beard if it was 5mm? No that’s just stubble! Where does it become a beard, at 10mm? I guess!

So a man with 9mm hair has stubble? Yes! And he grows one measly millimeter of chin hair in on one of the hairs and BAM WHOA he has a beard now?

Edit: Not calling your question out as disingenuous, but trying to prevent it being abused.

It’s not about consistency. It’s about “I want therefore it is my divine right and other people aren’t valid”

“Can help relieve” is a weak claim.

Squeeze weak and poor people more is the goal. I don’t believe they deserve we pass along this positive narrative of “well meaning”.

Smokescreen for the people managing the bot taking bribes.

“Without emotional senses” is rude and inaccurate.

Social pressure is just one of many factors instead of the be-all end-all factor. That doesn’t mean this person is missing emotions or emotional sense.

Hey hey hey hey don’t look at what it actually does.

Look at what it feels like it almost can do and pretend it soon will!

Then the entire store applauded him and he went home and pumped iron for 82 hours straight while coding up the first version.

Thousands of H-1B workers would be sent back to India, and those submissive, loyal Indian workers would be replaced by locals – something venture capitalists don’t want. But guess what? AI will eventually replace these workers anyway.

Most big tech companies are full of unnecessary employees. Elon Musk recognized this and fired many employees after buying Twitter. Everyone thought it was a crazy decision, but it worked perfectly.

Unhinged rant, not news.

I used to work in a high frequency trading firm. Our company’s existence was based purely on whether we could predict growth or loss with more than 50% accuracy. We sometimes looked at TA when we needed a good laugh.

TA is marketing. Someone wants you to buy a stock, so the result is “it grows”. Then they draw lines and write big words to pretend they arrived at that result through data analysis.
