    I just hate the fact if 10mm is too big, I can get 9mm, but if 15/16 is too big, fuck me, I guess. Bringing the full toolbox over because what random fucking bullshit number comes before it?

    Like I’m here to fix shit, not do math to figure out which socket is one size smaller.









  • You probably fucked something up and are blaming Linux not “just working.” I’ve installed many distros on many machines, my servers, my laptops, my desktop I’m on right now… they all connected at full speeds. In other words, it just works.

    I literally clicked “install”. But yes, please, blame me. That’s how you push away new users, by blaming them, instead of understanding things don’t “just work” on Linux.

    My browser getting the full speed shows that it’s not my connection being set to half duplex.






  • Ubuntu is the best bet for a distro to just work well out of the box.

    Granted I have still had a fuck ton of issues, errors, etc, but Ubuntu is the only distro that has worked the best out of the box. Fedora was a broken mess, and Mint was in between.

    So if you want anyone to not give up on Linux, direct them towards Ubuntu first. You can always switch distros later, but spending 3 days trying to fix issues on a different distro isn’t fun.

    Do you have any idea how excited I was for the GTA trilogy remake? I’ve been waiting for so long. Only to be slapped in the face.

    The worst part is that I know rockstar will never attempt to remake them again. I’ll never get that San Andreas remaster.

    Creators can see how much they make from premium subscribers vs ad views. They do make more from people who pay for premium.

    Why do you say they don’t? Like I’m curious where you got that from, when it’s blatantly wrong?
