I take it you have a different opinion?

Wow, they've really gone all in on AI. It looks like impressive work! I wish them luck!

This describes me in literally every online argument I've ever had.

I've only been to an IKEA once, and I've never bought their furniture, but my best guess is the meatballs.

On a semi-related note, if you haven't read the book Horrorstör by Grady Hendrix, you really should.

Ugh. I'm not pro establishment. People who are pro establishment think it works. People who are pro establishment have hope

Where the fuck did you get that out of what I wrote? Do I sound hopeful? Or like I think the system in any way works?

Or is that just your canned response when someone disagrees with you and you can't think of a decent comeback?

Is that what you kids call a "cope"? It sounds like a "cope". My generation just calls it "What the fuck are you even talking about?"

You don't seem to know what "lesser of two evils" means.

It doesn't mean "that guy's bad, so the less evil guy is good, actually, and totally deserves our support!"

It means "no matter which one of these assholes wins, I'm fucked, but if I'm lucky the one guy will use lube."

I can't do a damn thing about the two party system. That ship sailed before I was born, and nothing I do as an individual can change it. In fact, I can't see a solution short of possibly violent revolution. If that happens before I'm to old and feeble to help, great. Other wise, I'm fucked no matter who I pick, so I'm sure as shit going to pick the one who just wants to fuck me and not fuck me plus kill my trans neighbor.

I'm sick and tired of being called stupid, gullible, or uninformed just because I can actually see how completely fucked we are. Your shit is great for people who still have hope. My shit is just trying to survive without the Gestapo coming for my neighbors.

So come get me for the revolution. In the meantime, stop calling me stupid for being depressed and practical.

Now if you'll excuse me, I need to copy and paste this in reply to some other lemming that thinks I'm a gullible moron instead.

I have to say, the quality of the English translation doesn't seem great at first glance... but between offline, no tracking, and open source, this is wonderful. Keep up the good work!

There are more useful hobbies than gaming, I guess. But you mentioned a novel. Novels are fiction and therefore reading them is a waste of time. By your standard, as established here, by you.

Enjoyment is a perfectly good reason to do a thing.

And nobody's advocating for Facebook here, so that horse manure is 100% beside the point.

Edit: I suck at proofreading

I agree with everything but voting. Not because we ever have great options, but because sometimes there are terrifyingly bad ones, and while option A might not be at all good, option B is so much worse.

That's why it's called "the lesser of two evils."

My suggestion is to use a beginner distro with easy dual boot options. Linux Mint comes to mind. Get that going and try it out. If it works for you, you can then move on to ditching your Windows install and/or using a more advanced distro.

Unless you're more of a "dive into the deep end" sort. If that's the case, grab Fedora Workstation and make sure to enable the proprietary software repositories. Fedora is stable, and the desktop will be a reminder that this isn't Windows and it won't act like it. From there, you can find help all over the place, from Fedora's documentation and forums to simple internet searches.

Oh wow, that was snobbish.

It takes very little effort to maintain a linux desktop. This isn't the 90s, you know. Here's a quick guide:

Install Fedora Workstation. Once a week, run sudo dnf update --refresh

Got an Nvidia graphics card? When you install Fedora, enable the non-free repositories. Actually, unless you have a reason not to, do that anyway.

Done. System up to date and more stable than Windows. And that's on what's referred to as an "intermediate" distro. A "Beginner" distro like Mint is even easier.

Oh, wait, you're a gamer you say? Well then use Nobara or Pop_OS instead. They're a bit more advanced, but nothing reading a wiki can't take care of.

Getting on a high horse and pretending Linux is as hard to use in 2023 as it was two decades ago helps no one. Not the potential new user, not the community or its reputation, no one.

I hate this RTFM/yur 2 dumb attitude more than damn near anything in the community. It's such bullshit.

Oh yes, god forbid anyone take any downtime. I can't believe all these people waste so much time on recreation! Start working the moment you get up! Work until you go to bed! If you're not putting in a 100+ hour workweek, you're just a lazy piece of shit.

I mean, I'm abjectly miserable and I'll be dead well before retirement age, but at least I'm not lazy!
