  • English has a hard enough time being exact as it is, so I do agree with your statement.

    I doubt it is the fact they are corrected(using my perspective as I do not know this person), rather HOW they are corrected. Sometimes I see someone correct another using good natured wit and humour, being polite, and the target of said criticism takes it well and learns, other times they are quite unfriendly and harsh. I don’t mind correction that is polite, I will absolutely ignore the advice if rendered harshly and condescendingly.

    This goes for other situations as well, not gonna go into them as several are landmines, but the approach to correction needs to be more friendly than aggressive.





  • I am dual booting as I get VR to a better level, but I want that cancer off my system completely one day. Right now I have no monitors for vr performance in linux (any suggestions? FPSVR is my monitor for windows in VR) but it “feels” like often I am getting less than 20 fps (eye fatigue and strain that does not occur in the same games on windows) tho it looks like it is at least 35-60fps in the recorded playback, it just feels off.

    I am hoping for some feed back on this from people that have used it. I could use bottles but doesn’t that also require a windows “install” or container type thing like this? I am just exploring different avenues to get things working and this looks promising, tho a VM may make a bit of a dent in my old ryzen 7-3800 and I am fairly confidant if I had an amd card instead of the RTX 4070ti super my experience would be better but that is a cost I cannot swallow yet and I need a new cpu more. In the end I will prolly try to get wine and bottles working but a simple to get running app like this could be the short term answer













  • Do you remember a video some tech guy/s did maybe 15 - 20 yrs ago? He raided somewhere between 10 and 20 ssds (they were new at the time) and booted up windows while holding the ssd cables and jumping on a mini trampoline? The drives were clacking together like one of them clapper hand toys/noise makers. Yeah drives should be fine, I’d break the pc down to parts in boxes if I was moving my pc anywhere far or not with me holding the box, video cards and heat syncs are super heavy these days, this isn’t (I hope) a trident card




    1. I agree, what a little regulation could do to help them out

    2. I agree, and it just got a lot worse maybe

    3. I actually think Texas would stay on its own as it is still a republic and wouldn’t want to support another state, as you said they can barely support themselves

    As an aside, when Republicans were shown platforms without an R or D next to it IIRC they were more likely to choose the D platform.


  • Here is a list of live usb makers. I have successfully used UUI, #5 on the list, and also have successfully used this in the past. I’m running kubuntu/win 10 dual boot, prolly not recommended but, I installed linux on a separate drive to win 10 and put its boot loader there (idea being windows update won’t mess with a drive it can’t read) so when I boot I have, for the moment, win 10 as first boot device and when I want to get into linux simply hit f8, or what ever your “choose boot device” is, choose the linux drive and go, next month I’ll need to switch the order.
