I installed Arc Raiders from my family sharing group, fired it up then closed it and uninstalled it as soon as it says I need to create YET ANOTHER account just to play this game.

I’m done creating an account for every single game.

Pretty much. It seems to be the way a lot of these grifters go.

Even Tucker Carlson. I’m Canadian, so I knew nothing about Carlson when I first saw some clips about him (like 8 years ago now). And in those clips he said some innocuous and fairly reasonable things. Then YouTube’s algorithm did what it does best (you watch one new type of video and then that’s all it shows you for recommendations) and then I started to see the “real” Tucker Carlson and was grossed out.

Seems to be a common formula.

One million seconds is 11.5 days, one billion seconds is 31.7 years, and one telling seconds is 31,700 years.

Because libre office qt lags crazy on plasma wayland

Ok, you’ve got something going on with your system. If LibreOffice and VMs are lagging on your system then something isn’t right.

That’s not normal. That suggests some issue in the virtualization config, or maybe your proc doesn’t support virtualization or something.

Aside from graphically heavy things, a VM should only incur a minor overhead compared to the host. Word processing should function just fine.

It depends what you’re using it for. If it’s gaming, then it’s a no. But OP above didn’t say gaming. A Windows VM is fine for general tasks, but that naturally depends on the host system and how many resources you give the VM.

That’s a bit extreme

It really isn’t. That’s like saying “I keep a bottle of anthrax in my pocket just in case”. It just doesn’t you any good! (Yes, it’s a facetious example)

But seriously, if you need Windows for something every so often, just setup a VM. Safer, cleaner, can’t mess up your host.

I watched a video of his a few years ago, and thought “interesting take”. Then I saw another video of his recently and thought “this guy’s nuts. Prob a flat earther too”

Same. I also find it annoying of myself, because I’m not satisfied that a function does a thing but not the why/how. I need to know what exactly is happening behind the scenes to modify the data, otherwise I don’t know if it’s the best method to use in that scenario.

It’s called gestalt learning. It’s where you have a need to understand all aspects and angles of a topic before you “get it”.

This would just give companies more incentive to lobby for more lockdown laws.

“Look, the previous laws weren’t harsh enough. People are breaking them anyways. We need way more harsher laws to protect our things! Btw, here’s another 10 million dollars for no specific reason”

that primary system figures out how to align its own “clock” by connecting to other parts of the brain like the nerve paths of the eyes.

I’ve always wondered if blind people have offset rhythms for sleep.

pay extra over the TVs subsidized by ads.

Let’s be very clear, they are not and never were “subsidised by ads”. Ads just became a new way to extract more money from customers.

What’s a “death pick”?

I had a hairdresser once that told me about her young daughter getting scratched by a raccoon. I asked if she took her to get the shots and she said “no, she’s fine”. We’re all doomed.

Even that case is highly contested as to what happened. It’s often debated that she might not have had rabies to begin with.

“kids, this is Unity. We sorta used to… date”

No no, I know what you’re implying, I was implying that the link doesn’t prove what you think it does. I’m assuming you fixated on the Munich project, and that is a convoluted story and the Wikipedia entry on that is not up to date. The latest on the Munich project is that they cancelled the switch back to Windows.

Edit: And I can only assume that you were referring to the Munich story because you threw up the link with zero quotations or direct references. If you have a specific interpretation of that Wikipedia article, then you need cite things. What exactly is the “cost of migration”? Is it one million dollars or 50 million? Did it take a weekend to do, or did it bog down entire departments for months at a time? Is that 50 million dollars over budget? How are the immediate costs vs long term savings measured? Because the savings are measured in decades, not single year or several year licensing costs.

I’m not going to do your job for you. You might think that a months or even years long transition progress is unacceptable, but someone like myself who works in IT would see that is within expectations. If you have a point to make, then MAKE IT.

What exactly are you trying to prove with that Wikipedia link? If anything it shows relatively wide adoption of Linux.

Seems like you understand the original meaning already.
