Nuh uh!

We are IN the timeline where a monkey wrote Shakespeare. That monkey was Shakespeare.

Something is awfully weird here, because Linux literally runs the worlds infrastructure for the internet. It is not unstable by any stretch of the imagination. Something you’re doing between all distros has got to be the culprit - something you do differently than other people.

Post LITERALLY said they DID NOT do such a thing.

This is the part that makes you a bad person no one wants to be around.

Again. Wrong. Plenty of family and friends, and a whole region of my state who come to me for advice on cnc related shit, so you missed the mark there too.

Only people who avoid me are well…people like you, who think you need to “display” how good of a person you are. Most normal people understand humor and aren’t perpetually offended. Go touch some grass and meet some people outside for once. The majority of people on Lemmy and Reddit are not what the world would consider ‘normal’.

Fuck that. Why do I need to be better? I don’t give 2 shits about virtue signalling. I don’t have to convince the world that I’m a good person, I know my own virtues and I know that I am; so I’m allowed to joke about horrific shit all the fuck I want.

All of this performative outrage from people is silly. You’re not a bad person just because you like dark humor or shitposting.

So shitposters were shitposting. Don’t be bitches and act surprised when people are offended. Own that shit. It was meant to offend, that’s what makes it funny. I’ll join their discord and shitpost too. Call me a “bad person” all you want. idgaf.

eh…I’d try it. But knowing that kiwi gets really mushy, I don’t suspect I’d enjoy it. It’s the fibrous nature of pineapple which allows it to stay in-tact after cooking, and kiwi is just going to make a mushy spot.

Maybe oranges could work if they were processed right…

People are shaped by the environment they surround themselves with. If they’re surrounded by Russian supporters, they too will be Russian supporters.

Encrypted volume? If so, that’s why.

Honestly Arch is fine as a beginner distro for the right person - The benefit of arch is the rolling release model and the fact that it’s closer to edge than other distros. No; I don’t want to use that package that’s 6 months out of date – Compile it myself? Well, then why would I run a ‘stable’ distro then?

Someone being on Linux instead of Windows is enough of a win for me. I’m going to praise whatever way they want to approach it, none of this purism shit.

Likewise, SteamOS is based on Arch because of the way it’s architected in the first place. It’s fine to want that. Now…if this were Gentoo on the other hand…

The problem is people like Andrea Junker here have gone way past the point of reasonability with their claims. So the people who are “supporting racism, …etc” don’t actually believe that they’re doing that. Because one teeny step out-of-line on the left, and you’re labeled right wing, and jumped on by thirsty hoards of people who would rather eat their own.

Nobody who’s voting republican actually believes you when you say they are supporting these things, because we live in clown world, and they’re all brainwashed into thinking that you’re lying.

I tell people this constantly, and get ignored or chided for the thought. Meanwhile, I’ve got a previously Trump supporter boss, who I’ve slowly become friends with and have shown him the problems on the right and moved him further to the left.

It can be done, but it requires not being a rabid animal about it.

Nobody is bitching. Rage less. My constructive point is that NVidia is a better option. NVidia’s CUDA stack is software - and unfortunately for us, that means it’s also paired with their hardware.

Many people care if choosing something is going to hobble their workflow. In this point, if you’re using Blender, choosing AMD is going to hobble your productivity. I’m just stating facts.

It was the opposite experience for me last time I tried an AMD card. But that was like 8 years ago.

Blender works with AMD hardware just great

No it doesn’t. That’s our point. It works 25% as fast as its competition. That’s not “working just great”…it’s working slowly and like shit. The whole damn point of a GPU is to accelerate that work. The work that your AMD-HIP is doing in blender, could take an hour, and the NVidia would pump it out in 20 minutes.

Everyone’s gonna suggest AMD here because of your requirement of no-proprietary drivers; but unless you’re some sort of high-value target to a foreign government, I honestly choose the more pragmatic route of just using the proprietary NVidia driver and going NVidia. Especially if I’m not budget constrained on card.

The fact of the matter is, AMD has just simply fallen behind. NVidia cards are (and have been for like 3 generations now) more performant. There is good reason why they dominate the market right now; they’re just simply better.

It really depends on how far you want to take your zealotry on open source; there are parts of the CPU microcode that can see everything you do. Those are proprietary. Your bios is proprietary. You’re probably running 100 different proprietary blobs even IF you choose not to use the drivers that NVidia supplies; so why hobble yourself with a slower card that doesn’t have CUDA instructions? (often also very good for AI work if you are interested in that at all)

I certainly understand wanting to push that direction for the sake of pushing that direction but - is performance and stability less important than using a proprietary driver?

“Works great” and “Could work 3x faster” matter to a lot of people.

First thought was the face hugger from Alien. If your first thought was anything sexual, you probably need help.

I don’t think they should get killed, but I think they should fear getting killed. It’s the lack of fear that causes them not to even think about normal people when they make decisions.
