Like if Microsoft released their own Linux OS, would it be good suddenly?

It’s worth noting that steamOS, like any Linux distro has its issues and a bit of a learning curve. Especially if you want to go off the beaten track, it’s pretty much just using a stock arch distro.

As for if MS switched to Linux, no it wouldn’t be good because the issues with Win11 overwhelmingly aren’t a matter of incompetence or anything inherent to the code, but of conscious anti-consumer business decisions. There’s nothing about Linux that would actively stop MS from cramming telemetry, bloat, etc. In their distro.

We all know that Costco has the best gas

1. because they’re frequently proven right, English is the most commonly spoken second language after all

2. Americans who can afford to travel abroad are generally more wealthy, and tend to be more over entitled in all aspects of their lives

Been a while but I played around with the a770 in Arch for a few months. It didn’t play nice with proton and even native games were hit and miss. Better support from Intel than nvidia gives, but it’s a new platform and Linux development was definitely taking a back seat to the windows drivers which were also a buggy mess.

And basically nobody had the cards so if something didn’t work your options were to give up or become a computer graphics programming wizard and fix it all yourself from scratch.

To answer the question: not really, no. The drivers themselves may have been fine, but who knows how any given software will handle a brand new GPU architecture.

Sick. I got an a770le when they launched. Buggy AF, but not bad performance when it decided to work. It currently lives as a dedicated av1 encoder in a Plex server

I was expecting this from quadcopters. I’d have thought they’d be more difficult to catch

Everything you don’t like is American

Pretty sure it’s 100% efficient (100% energy consumed is emitted as heat) meaning it’s exactly as efficient as a space heater. Only way to get more efficient is a heat pump.

Finnish people are fucking crazy (non-derogatory)

He didn’t already have a trademark? I’m surprised.

Anyway, here comes a flood of ragebait about how Geoff is trying to own the concept of award shows

Yeah, mastodon simply doesn’t have an advertising budget, and having to pick an instance, while trivial, is still enough to stop a lot of people from joining.

Yeah, the double pack of Kirkland ibuprofen will typically last an entire family a year or more

It helps marginally better than placebo for me. Hence why Americans use it for fairly trivial aches and pains.

I can’t imagine it would do anything for pain I’d consider ‘serious’.

Metal. A lot of people kinda freak out when they hear you like metal of any kind. And not in a good way.

If it’s all a truly random selection, which I believe it was, then half of all people would cease to exist, leaving half of their gut biomes behind, still alive (albeit briefly). I guess the end result would be the snapped people leaving behind a mist of gross intestinal bacteria which would itself mostly die out without a host. Meaning much more than half of all gut biome bacteria would be killed as a result.

Of course it would make more sense to consider a person and their gut flora as one being, but the joke is about how stupid the initial conception of Thanos’ plan is, not creating an academically rigorous argument.

The bottom arrow is, definitionally, pointing left.

If I ask you to turn around to the right, are you going to ask me what side of you I’m referencing?

No, because humans have a pretty clear forward direction. Screws don’t. You say turn a screw to the right, do you mean make the top of the screw move right or the bottom move right?

Most people assume the top, but not all, and the language is ambiguous.

If you’re looking head on to the screw/nut/whatever then we’re talking about the top of the screw/but/whatever.

You can also imagine if the nut was actually a wheel. Which way would you spin it to make it roll left or right.

Confused the hell out of me at a young age. That’s how I came around to thinking of it

I don’t necessarily have to update my Arch distribution whenever there are new updates available

Clearly, op agrees

Neat. Never gonna do this to my deck, but neat.
