Wait, you can’t give people food or water if they’re standing in the line? Why the hell not?

And hours in line?? What? Why!

Is there a good walkthrough of how to set up Jellyfin on Linux? If I’m breaking away from a shit OS, I may as well try breaking away from an increasingly crummy Plex

Oh that looks great, thank you!

Finally my Radeon works better out of the box than Nvidia? Amazing.

Glad to hear Mint is the way to go! That’s the one I already have some very basic experience with.

Is Steam necessary? I also use GOG because I prefer no DRM, but maybe that’s not possible in the same way? I’ll Google this one too.

Thank you for your help! And for the confidence boost to think this might be more intuitive than I fear…

Can you suggest a good write-up / walkthrough for how to shift to gaming on Linux? I’ve installed and run it before so I understand the basics, but that was basically just to keep an old laptop alive to watch YouTube.

Fucking Windows…just purchasing one big DIY spyware package these days.

All I need are good alternatives to:

• find or coordinate local events
• post used things for sale

and Facebook is totally irrelevant to me. The way people switched from Kijiji to Marketplace absolutely screwed me over for leaving Meta.

Oh, HPPD is definitely a thing, but extraordinarily rare.

I may have misspoke about the brown acid - this was a legit warning resulting from “home-brew chemists” attempting to make their own LSD and failing to create it properly. Most of the supplies back then were direct from Sandoz (Novartis) and basically were being given away to the scientific community for novel testing. Fun stuff.

I’m talking about the hyperbole of “acid flashbacks” which was a narrative introduced to discourage and demonize LSD usage by the political and intellectual opponents of the Nixon administration. “Rots your brain permanently” and all that other garbage.

Turns out regular LSD usage by the “hippie” community and by many people involved in high-level education (particularly college and university professors) was making people feel more connected and empathetic towards one another, and that just didn’t do for the Republicans who needed everyone to fear “the other”.

What they also did with marijuana and heroin, and subsequently with crack cocaine, was truly abhorrent.

The information in the hallucinogenic section about acid flashbacks is incorrect. This was a false rumour spread in the 70s to demonize the political opponents of Nixon.

Hating people never leads to logical outcomes. I’d rather accept that they’ve been somewhat brainwashed and battle against it, than hate my neighbour.

Hasn’t been a good castrati in Opera for fucking years smh

figuring out how to even make money

Which, to be crystal clear, they have never accomplished

Soon as an independent firm chosen by the other parties releases a 10-year review of Pierre’s porn history I’ll think about supporting this.

Until then, I’ll continue to hope that this milquetoast douche-eater gets hit by a bus.

It’s fatty jello that we electrified and tricked into believing in itself!

No apology for Wyze’s breach, but only 1500 of the possible alerts for not-your-home were clicked on/viewed. Gotta love sensational headlines.

Also, if you’re using a cloud-based camera for private spaces? Well, that’s kinda a decision you made for yourself.

Genuinely don’t comprehend why anyone uses anything other than Firefox. FF + uBlock makes the internet so much better

Ah, I see the Free Speech Absolutist is hard at work again. Did these guys report on just how drug-addled Elon was the other day, or was it some other piece of fact-based journalism that got them booted?

Sounds like a pretty clear cut antitrust issue

Oh, by all means, go nuts
