I’m pretty sure it’s supposed to be grill’d. I still have no idea what that is though. That is basically the most generic name for a hamburger possible.

Fair.

Fedora has always been where Red Hat goes to force the adoption of not quite finished software. If you are not okay with that, you shouldn’t be using Fedora. This is not the first time they’ve done it, and it won’t be the last.

Yes. That is in fact what I am arguing. I would also argue that the harm is tiny and can sometimes be justifiable, depending on the circumstances, but yes. It absolutely does do some non-zero harm, and yes there is no thing being stolen. That is the argument I am making.

Maybe, but it’s also closer to the price saved on less wear and tear on the turnstile than it is the price of the ticket.

The employees don’t get paid less if some jumps the turnstile, the fuel cost to carry a single person is completely trivial, and I didn’t say nobody should care about turnstile jumpers. I said its not stealing. If you damage the tracks and cause the train to derail you’re a monster, and there are financial costs, but you still didn’t steal the train. Your argument doesn’t make any sense.

Depends on the circumstances I guess, but no matter how I feel about it people jumping the turnstile aren’t stealing the train.

Ugh. I hate it when people say that you can use something to cut diamonds like that’s impressive. I get it, diamond is the hardest thing, so that makes it difficult to “cut”, but that’s a very highly technical definition of cut that doesn’t really have much to do with how normal people use the word.

I mean, glass is harder than steel, but if you throw a steel ball at a window it’s not the ball that will shatter. Tensile strength matters way more than hardness for most practical purposes, and diamond doesn’t have a particularly high tensile strength.

The video talks about a neat tool. I just don’t like the weirdness around diamonds. The flammable, easily shattered rocks are not in fact the most durable material in the universe just because they’re hard. That’s not what hard actually means.

Yeah, alright, I see how that could be useful for someone who isn’t me. I don’t have much that’s important on my computer, and for what little there is I just have a second ssd I drag and drop it onto. That one has Mint installed on it in case I do something stupid to my main drive, because I routinely do stupid things to my main drive.

I mean, is it actually easier to copy everything in @home than it is to copy everything in /home? Btrfs has always kinda felt like it’s a bunch of extra steps to solve problems I don’t have.

Oh goodie. We’re reinventing cable TV. At least it will be harder for them to get geographic monopolies this time, I guess. Not that that’ll stop them from screwing us.

I get that Windows is kinda boring, but it’s still like a thousand times more interesting and customizable than anything Apple makes. I find the whole Apple aesthetic to be painfully boring and restrictive. I get that it’s more fashionable or whatever. I just hate it.

Hey, as long as I ignore the thousand of entries in the error log I get every day from the iwlwifi kernel module crashing and restarting every 10 minutes its fine.

Cool, keep taking your horse dewormer. I’ll be over here not installing rootkits made by companies with terrible security practices.

Nobody is making new COVID versions to get around the vaccine. COVID vaccines don’t create a backdoor into your immune system that make you weaker against other viruses. The COVID vaccine actually works. That is a stupid analogy.

More invasive anti-cheats cause a brief dip in cheating, and then cheaters spread around a way to get around the new anti-cheat and everything immediately goes back to how it was. As long as the anti-cheat is being run on the cheater’s computer, it will be bypassed and made irrelevant. People’s desire to see something, anything done about a problem no matter how terrible the solution sometimes just makes things worse without even helping the problem, and I’m not okay with that.

You can’t reliably check the source client side either, because the client side self-reports, and is where the cheat runs.

Of course, which is why all cheating has been eradicated forever. Certainly no game with a rootkit anti-cheat has ever had a problem with cheating.

Sure, but client side is also owned and run by the cheater. Do you really trust them to always run the anti-cheat honestly?

:q!

I don’t care what you call it. Call it Steve if you want. GNU/Linux is awkward to say and will never catch on though.
