My computer doesn’t really break, I’m Ship of Theseus-ing it regularly.

Apart from that, the only one among the normal window based ones that has felt like it respects my will to configure stuff in ways that feel right to me has been KDE Plasma.

He just said there weren’t any in Dutch on his niche topic. Your suggestion to learn more Dutch doesn’t make sense.

I think I finally found what I was put on this earth to do: Knife goes in guts come out.

And the old WCFAN (We Couldn’t Find A Name) servers, what was it called again, I think hillbreak? That was fun!

No worries, I just wanted to make sure. I could totally have missed stuff.

25 years so… Tarzan? Lilo and Stitch? The Emperor’s New Groove?

I’m aware of:

• Unbalanced power over 12VHPWR by design, inducing some melting in some cases.
• Missing ROPs on 5080.
• 5070 not reaching 4090 performance levels because that was just a marketing lie.

None of those really seem to apply. Were there any more?

9 years and 4 months ago I bought an Acer laptop with a 4 core Intel Skylake with hyperthreading (i7-6700HQ) and a Nvidia GTX 960M, because the laptop I had was slow for compiling in my classes at Uni, and I wanted a discrete GPU for the occasional game when away from my Desktop PC (winter break and such (still use it for that btw)). I regretted that three times:

• First when I wanted to install Linux instead of just using VMs. In early 2016 the kernels on live system ISOs didn’t properly support Skylake yet, so I fucked around with Arch a bunch, but didn’t end up keeping it installed. Don’t remember why, probably got busy with schoolwork.

• Then a while later, after I had installed Ubuntu or Fedora at some point, the next issue was that cooperative mode of Bluetooth and Wifi on the included Intel wireless chip wasn’t well supported (even found an Intel Bluetooth dev saying as much on a mailing list), and it hung sometimes, so I had to make a script to turn the chip off and then rescan the PCI bus, that worked as a workaround but was still annoying.

• Finally when we had Machine Learning classes I thought I might be able to use CUDA locally, so I tried installing the proprietary Nvidia driver and was greeted by a black screen on the next boot. Had to boot from a live system and chroot in to remove the proprietary crap again.

On my Desktop PC I have used AMD GPUs for quite a while and dual booting Windows and Linux has always been a breeze.

We still use RCS at work. For config files for our network monitoring. Works fine still.

Wow that’s quite nice of them as well!

Any news about your part Sir_Kevin? I’m curious if anything has happened since Trump already backpedaled a bit.

Looks like having the option was not that wrong with the partial exemptions that have already come in.

Countries that use Jus Soli usually also have Jus Sanguinis. The USA for example. My friend is a US citizen despite not being born there because his mother is a US citizen.

Not having Jus Sanguinis would be downright horrible. Imagine your mother moves back to her home country and if you want to follow her you have to clear immigration hurdles.

The better term might be “abroad”, rather than “overseas”. Because Jus Soli is a concept that exists mostly in the Americas. So you’d better not cross over the Atlantic or Pacific sea for this plan.

This sign implies we want the federal government in our local tax policy?

Where do you read this implication from?

I’m really asking because I might be missing something, because my background is so different.

To me it reads like he thinks local taxes should work differently, either be lower, or be raised based on a different factor other than property value. But I can’t see the federal connection.

True, you just need to make sure you start high enough up, or exempt the value of a primary residence (maybe limit the exemption to a non-opulent value of a house so the richest don’t start building castles to bind their money tax free)

Does that sounds a bit ominous to anyone else? :D

Yeah that game was unplayable for me. I rebind my keys, but there were functions hard bound to keys, probably from like debugging or something, so pressing them would execute two functions. Specifically it was camera rotation. That was disorientating as hell.

For one of my friends it kept crashing, and since you can’t save during the intro he had to play it 3 times or so.

It’s actually right in the name. Anarchy from an-arkhos means “without ruler”. They think hierarchies are illegitimate per se.
