A good Xfiles episode is a lot like a good TOS episode – campy and fucking ridiculous, but man is it a good time.

Dont worry… Scully will reason/explain/pseudoscience it away with the voiceover at the end.

I mean, it’s just common sense.

I tend to think that – for myself for sure but probably most other people – after a decade plus on Reddit, you’ve likely said and posted enough stuff that somebody could follow the breadcrumbs back to you. Theyd have to really want to and it would take a lot of reading your posts, but it could probably be done. Anonymity doesn’t exist without a vpn, and even then you’re probably still identifiable. Don’t say, post or do anything on the internet that youre not willing to defend/pay for in real life.

He definitely says “shao-dieeeer”

My roku does this shit. Pisses me right off.

(Not OP.) Sucks that you gotta debloat. I want to say it should be opt in for anything thats not basic function, but I think that’s too extreme. Maybe people out there find the web search function super useful, or they appreciate the adverts or whatever.

Anyhoo, even though I debloat everything like crazy from day one, i find myself debloating something new about once a month or so still.

Scott Walker was a real piece of shit too if I recall correctly.

I think these polls are good to put our opinions on the public record.

Thanks for taking a second to research that. Maybe my search results are skewed for some reason because i double checked before posting that comment. Weird. I’ll think about it more.

Everybody always goes on and on about how great linux is for gaming pcs these days. I recently poked around online to see if my rtx5070ti would be supported and found a bunch of people facing issues, and that Mint and Ubuntu weren’t recommended.

I dont want the AI nonsense, and Windows/Microslop blows, but I want my new gaming laptop to work correctly for several years given the money I spent on it. I can’t see making the switch when the gpu support is so convoluted.

Ive had many Linux machines in the past, so that bums me out.

Edit: someone should make a webpage that automatically reads the hardware and specs of your windows machine and then creates a table of suggested distros. That table should also include “what you’ll lose” that shows which features will become lost or finicky. And it should also include direct download links.

If the goal is to have morons like myself adopt it, it needs to be basically fool proof and easy. Linux is much better and easier than it was in 2003, but that doesn’t mean it’s two-click easy.

If only Brian Dennehy would listen to him, so many deputies’ lives could be saved.

No, that’s still bad because it conflicts with religious values.

If you dont own the company, you’re getting fucked even if you’re not literally getting fucked. The whole employment system abuses humanity. It’s all fucking depressing. Sex trafficking sucks much worse than run of the mill getting fucked by the workforce, and it should be eliminated, but it wont be eliminated by shutting down the porn industry.

One controls the flue, another controls the damper. The rest are just there to look cool and hang tools from.

I’m all in on no limits for free speech. The government’s job is to provide services, not determine and police morality. And hate speech does not have a concrete definition, so it’s a moving target (the government could define talking shit about Republicans as hate speech and make it illegal, for example). I don’t like Nazis or racism or homophobia, but i like the idea that you are legally allowed to say nazi, racist or homophobic shit and I can hear it and choose to shun you.

I’m glad Canada is there for you with their rules if that makes sense to you. Not everybody has to agree with no limits on free speech – plenty of places to live with mostly free-ish speech laws.

My man!

I recently fixed a phantom/ghost problem in my GMC acadia by replacing the touch glass for about $100. It was easy peasy. Had I taken it to the dealership, I assume it would have been a $1000 repair as they would have replaced the whole head unit rather than just the warped glass.

Nothing I can do? If I drive my car at higher rpms, wont that make the engine hotter thereby also heating the coolant faster?
