We don’t negotiate with terrorists.

Ubuntu is absolutely a beginner friendly OS. If I give a computer to somebody that knows nothing more than how to turn it on, Ubuntu will be no more difficult for that person to surf the internet than it would be in Windows. I’ve been teaching people how to use their computers for more than half my life and the vast majority of problems are ignorant people on Windows. Linux isn’t inherently more difficult to use, it’s just different. For adept Windows users, switching and expecting to be just as familiar is where it gets more tricky.

Same thing here. There was a big update earlier this year that made it so I can use Wayland, where before that, it was impossible. At this point, I can’t tell you the last time I’ve had any GPU related issues. Further, I believe that Nvidia is now working with Linux for driver support, so it should get even better going forward.

It’s negotiating 101. Open with the hoop dream so the next option isn’t near as bad. If you get your first option, you win, and if you get the second option, you win a little less.

I kind of figured that’s how this process worked, and I’m glad you mentioned it. Now I really hope that you’re right and that there’s no way around it.

Now supply a whole shit load of long range missiles before January.

No. It takes a truly shallow mind to come to this conclusion. Most of us Democrats understand how politics work and knew it was Trump or Harris once Biden stepped down. That’s it, no third option. Only a true idiot or a Trump supporter (same thing) would think not voting, voting this party, it voting for Trump was in anyway better for Israel, Ukraine, and America.

Yea, because it was definitely the liberals that elected Trump. Harris was not the best option, but any moron that thought not voting for her was the best option this past election, and is now pissing and moaning about Trump winning, are arguably dumber than Trump supporters.

Are you talking about that guy that is almost as well known for biting off Hollyfield’s ear as he is for his boxing prowess losing dignity from making 20 millions dollars playing the sport that he loves regardless of the effort?

Yea, lots of things did happen, and most of them were bad. The people that I’m referring to that “could change” things are the republicans that could use their votes to stop tyranny, but none of them did.

I hope that you’re correct that we will see change from this, but I don’t agree with you that Musk is going to fade into political irrelevance and that JD will sunset Trump.

I’m gonna call bullshit on this. For years now, I’ve been reading articles just like this one, and at the end of the day, nobody that could change anything did a fucking thing. It’s just posturing and means nothing.

I’m not scared of spiders, but I would die if this happened to me.

Sorry, I’m talking about Trump. I’m saying he should cry and that he’s a bitch.

Cry, bitch.

Edit: Bitch == Trump

Sam Reich, Brennan Lee Mulligan, Hank Green to name a few. Also Kyle Gass both for what he said in Australia, but then for deleting his public apology shortly after posting it.

Or, maybe fireworks should just not be a thing.

That ain’t a strawman. It’s calling a spade a spade.

That’s fair. My next build will be AMD. I only switched to Linux the past December, and I already had my gear, so it is what it is for now. Further, my case is too small for new GPUs, so I’m riding my 2080ti to the end.

True, but Nvidia has come a long way and I believe announced support in the recent months, but don’t quote me on the last part. I have a desk and laptop both with Nvidia GPUs, and I don’t have any issues. Wayland did not work until 4-6 months ago, but everything is pretty stable now.
