As a member of genx please allow me to say: we’re not all bad, some of us quite enjoy the taste of the rich. :P

Do your think he knows? I think folks like him just get podcast invites and do minimal research on the host.

This seems rather alarmist, especially the youtube part. I’ve watched a few full length episodes and don’t have any of that shit in my recommended videos.

I liked Brave well enough, but I switched to Firefox when I learned Google was going to force Manifest V3’s adblock-gimp into Chromium. I figure it’s a matter of time before Chromium-based browsers like Brave are forced to either adopt it or fork Chromium and maintain it themselves, and I know which of those two seems more likely to me.

Hm, that may be, I’ll have to go poke at it, thank you.

I tried this before and it wouldn’t boot off of drive #3 for some reason. When I hit F11 in the bios I can select ‘Nobara (BPXP)’ (BPXP is the people who made drive #3) and it works tho? shrug

Screen capture in what way? Cause spectacle works fine for screenshots, I can stream video on discord, etc, so I’ve not run into a screen capture related issue.

A year ago when I was looking at linux for gaming what I kept hearing is that Wayland wasn’t ready. I’ve been running Nobara 42 with KDE Plasma 6 on Wayland for about a month now and it’s been great, now I hear Gnome is dropping X11 support, etc. What changed?

The catch is now you have games in their ecosystem and are more likely to spend more time and money there.

Yeah, Isreal is known for how much they care about legal jurisdiction or rights in their genocide of the Palestinian people, that will definitely stop them from doing awful shit to these activists.

Thank you. People seem perfectly happy with lemmy.world blacklisting lemmy.ml altogether and such because it’s censorship that they agree with, people generally only get cranky in the pants about censorship when they agree with the thing being censored.

For sure! I thought I was just going to be boned because of the GPU issues I had because ‘lol buy a different GPU’ just isn’t practical and the end of service life for Win10 is coming up in a few months and I was really not looking forward to moving to 11.

Honestly I’m not even ‘enjoying’ the OS, it’s gotten to the point for me where it’s just the way things are now, it’s kind of become just a fact about my world. There are a couple things I miss from Windows (reliable Phone Link being the primary one, I hate typing on my phone keyboard and KDE Connect SMS/Pushbullet/etc don’t always get SMS updates and such, but also something like Stardock Fences), but mostly it just works.

I used Pop for a bit and didn’t like its DE either, and also it hated my GPU (a bog-standard RTX3060) for some reason. Got frustrated, tried a bunch of Ubuntu-derived distros that either wouldn’t install or installed and wouldn’t boot (also GPU/driver-related issues, apparently), got fed up, and decided to try Nobara about a month ago on the basis of it being a gaming-focused distro with frequent updates, and I have been quite pleasantly surprised. 95% of everything I’ve tried just works, the rest requires a bit of fiddling but isn’t too bad (had to install battle.net via Steam rather than Lutris for whatever reason, f.ex), I even got my novel-writing software running pretty well under wine. At this point I haven’t booted back into windows in weeks and I think I’m just about ready to start tearing down my windows install and converting my other drives away from NTFS.

Maybe, but you notice how you used the word ‘frames’ there instead of ‘sunglasses’? I bet if they were wearing empty frames they’d have said that, what with those two words meaning different things and all. :P

I dunno if you know this but everyone has see- through sunglasses… otherwise they’d be called sunwalls. ;)

Depends how long I’m gonna be in there and how well I can see with them on. Well lit? In and out? They stay.

Good ol’ Great Deal Donnie, stickin’ it to the man… oh wait, he is the man, and also is sticking it to himself (or at least his supporters.)

Both: ‘Look, we both have guns, but we also both recognize that we each benefit more from mutually-beneficial trade’. Both: Much mutually-beneficial trade commences Donnie: ‘Holy shit guys, look at my gun! It’s SO fucking big! You can’t cope with that, my gun is WAY bigger than yours, so you better start toeing the line!’ China: ‘Oh we’re doing this now? k.’ sets equally-huge gun on table and walks away.

Selling elevator keys.

The high school I went to was an old building that was built like a prison (seriously, look at that thing), it’s 3 stories plus a basement (and the smoker’s area - this was in the 80s - was out back from the basement), so I routinely had to go from basement to 3rd floor for classes. it sucked. The school had an elevator, but it was key-operated, and they only gave out keys to kids who actually needed it. I faked a knee injury to get a key and it was great not having to climb 4 flights of stairs. But after a couple days I noticed other kids were always waiting around for me so they could ride the elevator with me and such.

Thus, a brilliant idea was hatched: I went to a locksmith’s shop and got 10 copies of the key made. Whenever anyone wanted to get on the elevator with me I would offer to sell them a key for $10. I sold out by the end of the 2nd day and word was beginning to spread. I went to a different locksmith and got another 10 keys made, but only sold 7 of them before somebody ratted me out. Still, $170 in my pocket less a couple bucks for the copies for 2 days of ‘work’ seemed like a pretty sweet deal to me, even if I did have to go back to climbing the stairs again.

The funniest part is through one of the classes I took I had been invited to join some kind of ‘young entrepreneur’s club’ and they kicked me out when I got busted. Seems like I was doing things exactly right for that sort of crowd, I guess the lesson learned there is getting caught is the problem, not doing the thing that gets you caught. :P

Yeah, that information was not on the page you linked me. I didn’t realize it was reasonable to expect people to go spelunking in your links to find the actual information you’re trying to gesture vaguely at without laying it out explicitly in the first place for some reason.

Also, other than vague ‘political and ethical issues’ none of that has anything to do with racism, which was your initial claim.

Er, evolutionary psychology is a whole field of study with its own journal with hundreds of published studies. If you’re going to claim that a whole branch of psychology is racist you’re going to need to provide some evidence to back those claims up, because that wikipedia article has nothing more damning in it than the following suggestion that there are critics who think there might be some ethical problems with how it’s sometimes used, but that’s not a condemnation of the value of the science itself.

Critics have argued that evolutionary psychology might be used to justify existing social hierarchies and reactionary policies. It has also been suggested by critics that evolutionary psychologists’ theories and interpretations of empirical data rely heavily on ideological assumptions about race and gender.

But that’s like saying a wrench is a weapon because it can be thrown at someone’s head; that’s problem with the user, not a problem inherent in the tool.
