Absolutely unhinged politicians. You telling me the masses voted this guy in? Unbelievable.

What?! Is he trying to improve the lives of those that don’t normally have easy bathroom access? How dare he! Government money should be a spent on improving his self image and ego!

Someone could write a book…

The Joys of Distro-Hopping

I tried running Bazzite for a few months, but just kept running into one weird issue after another. Went to Endeavor and they all went away overnight.

I’m technical enough that I can configure Arch from scratch, but simply can’t be bothered. I just need my computer to work. Every day.

I felt like when I was working with Arch, and I’m sure it’s operator error, it was like maintaining a starship with a dozen systems that could individually go wrong and I was responsible for all of them. Endeavor was fully setup with no weirdness in less than 30 minutes.

Depending on who you’re with, you can try calling their support and explaining what you’re looking for. I always tell them “I need to disable routing and have my gateway act like a modem. It should give a public IP directly to my router.” This should explain in layman’s to any technician what you’re looking for and they’ll be able to tell you if it can be done. If you’re with a cable or DSL provider, also ask about options to provide your own equipment. This can save you money in the long run, too, if you’re renting the hardware through them at the moment.

I briefly thought this was a real hot Guy Fieri take. I was so hopeful.

Maybe I’m misinterpreting, but if your gateway from your ISP is also routing and handing out IPs, this is known as a double NAT and can cause all sorts of weird issues. If you’re going from your ISPs gateway to your own router, their device should be bridged so it acts like a static modem.

On a keyboard, almost never. From my phone, nearly every other comment. I have a lot of edits lol.

I switched to iOS along the way, but Boost is still my favorite Reddit, now Lemmy client. I wish they would make their way to iOS.

I’ve never heard of Zardos personally, but it sounds like you’re looking for movies that have deep significance and application to the real world. My number one recommendation is Waking Life. It is a movie that thoroughly explores what it means to be human all without imposing any specific viewpoint or agenda.

It’s a series of borderline interviews taken from all walks of life and then rotoscoped into a beautiful dream sequence.

I can find ways that it’s relevant to just about every day of my life. It’s packed full of serious challenging conversations about the self, spirituality, morality and mankind.

If this isn’t the type of thing you’re looking for, maybe elaborate a bit more on what you mean.

I would press the button on every billboard

I’ve heard it both ways that in PEMDAS, it’s really more like P,E,MD,AS. As in, when you reach the multiplication and division steps, it’s assumed you do them together in written order, followed by addition and subtraction after.

And like you said, the real-world measurement will actually end up dictating the order, but if this distinction needed to be made, you would separate as necessary with more parentheses.

The person who donated that probably heard from someone that it’s cheaper to replace the printer than the ink and didn’t know what they had.

True, but does it need to make mysterious clunking noises for three minutes before it starts?

Nice. Glad to hear you still can’t get viruses.

What is good for the bird is evil for the worm

Unless you’re overlocking or just have really bad case design, either one will fair about the same. I went with an AIO purely for the aesthetic and haven’t had a single issue. Install was pretty easy too. I haven’t personally heard any horror stories of the AIO loops failing catastrophically but that’s anecdotal at best.

Don’t get me wrong, the visual design on this is cool and all, but I can’t read this for shit.

You’re not wrong, hence my mention about them being no saint. But you can’t argue the fact the with all of the open standards available, none of them work nearly as well as Apple’s implementations. I say this using both Mac and Linux interchangeably on a daily basis. They each have their strengths and weaknesses. When I need a space for creative work, I use my Mac. When I need a space for gaming or experimental software or programming, I use Linux. When I’m feeling masochistic, I save a VM of Windows Me for late nights when the roommate’s not around.
