  • Reading Snopes will give you plenty. Read the articles - and a lot of them use weasel-wording to push the result they want.

    I don’t have the exact article on hand at the moment, but an example would be someone claiming that clear-cutting 1000 acres of trees would destroy [X]^3 of CO2 reduction; and then Snopes will “fact check” it by saying they aren’t cutting down 1000 acres of trees this year. Often times they’ll ‘debunk’ something that sounds like the claim, but isn’t the actual claim.




  • I don’t think Religion created our problems, I think we did. I think Religion is just our brains trying to maintain sanity. We can’t fathom “infinity”, we can’t fathom the times before or after our deaths. I think religion was just created by people who need to attribute something to that, so they can get their minds off of it.

    It has been used as a weapon, for sure, but I don’t think there’s any getting rid of it. I think naturally we gravitate towards it due to our need to understand the world around us. When we get to something we can’t wrap our heads around - it’s easy to just explain it away with a story. Others will dive even deeper into understanding it (science and the scientific method)


  • There’s a way to do this with an iGPU/dGPU pair. Essentially it means firing up the VM with dedicated GPU passthrough, and then remoting directly into it from the native install using something like Parsec; but if I recall there was a direct memory access way to get the passthrough GPU output to the main display as well; I just can’t remember it at the moment.

    The alternative is having a monitor with dual/tri inputs, and swapping the output to the dedicated GPU. Maybe some trickery with a KVM to move the mouse/keyboard over.

    https://looking-glass.io/ – This may be the other solution I was having trouble remembering.

    Using something like “Barrier/Synergy” might be a software-solution for the KVM side of things. Some guys also just opt to have their dedicated GPU hooked up to a second, dedicated monitor.

    edit Reading more into this, I missed the part where this was a laptop - you’re likely hosed. Laptop dedicated GPUs also run through the internal GPU; so technically you have 2 GPUs in your system - but from what I understand, they basically have dedicated switching hardware for handling the handoff, and I’m not sure modern laptops allow any such control over all of that.




  • Weird that applies to some people and not others…I know plenty of people who’s opinions were rejected by society, and I’m told every day that I must accept their opinions…

    I’ve heard this same argument used against LGBT individuals, Palestinians, Jews, etc…

    So what makes this guy less deserving? Because he has a contrary opinion to you? The things being deleted are not Nazi propaganda. They aren’t even hateful. They’re just discussions that people disagree with…and because they’re disagreed with, they get removed. Mods should not be removing things due to editorial opinion. If people don’t like it, that’s what the downvote button is for.
