As a devil’s advocate; what if they allowed ECC by default and manufacturers became overly reliant on it to make certain RAM chips binnable that never should have been?

Looks like you’re not the washed up one, after all.

Your ignorance is on full display. Karl Popper said that. I’m guessing you’re also one of those who, when backed into a corner, can’t answer a simple yes or no to this question: “Do you support violence against violent fascists?” Can you, without attempting to twist the words or make it about me, answer that question in simple yes or no terms? Just to be absolutely clear; I’m not implying anyone is the violent fascist in this question. Just a simple yes or no will do. Answer that and I’d be happy to entertain the rest of your questions.

Let me ask you, out of curiosity, when people said intolerance must be met with intolerance; what did you think that looked like? Peace? Tears? Or do you even understand the Paradox of Tolerance? All my sympathy goes to the victims and families of the victims of the actual tragedy that happened that day. The school shooting in Colorado. I guess I just have nothing left to spare for a fascist mouth piece.

They think if everyone just agrees with them, that in and of itself presents a solution. That’s their schtick. They said they don’t believe the United States is becoming more fascist – I’ll assume because it’s already fully institutionalized. They’ll point out problems and never solutions because they offer nothing of substance. It’s just a child-like mind with access to an LLM. Their post history should reveal everything you need to know.

When someone that promotes gun violence and decries justice to its victims dies by gun violence, it’s not a tragedy; it’s poetic justice. Unless you mean it’s alright to live by the sword, but wrong to die by the sword.

Shut up, nerd.

Ossophones? I think Osteophone is already taken.

Armchair fullback, here. The moment they let David Hogg go was the moment that opportunity slipped through their fingers. The problem is nobody was paying attention. The Democrats have no message, once again. They are being neutered by internalized and entrenched incompetence. They consistently choose the worst options because there’s no flight left in them and when there is they spend it fighting each other. Debbie Wasserman Schultz was the end of the party. Super delegates still exist within the party. These are not leaders. These are failures. Get rid of super delegates in current form and we might have a small chance at even discussing recovery.

You’re free to make your own video without what you feel is an egregious oversight.

I just want to say I’m glad other people understand how ridiculous of a suggestion this is for fixing Windows problems. It has become such a low effort nonsensical approach because people don’t truly understand what it does and it feels like doing something. It’s the new ‘have you tried turning it off and on again.’ dism and sfc. Then when someone mentions how absurd the thinking is that this fixes anything but a small negligible fraction of issues, someone always chimes in how there was this one time where it worked for them. Perpetuating this low effort, almost useless approach to troubleshooting. I’ve fixed more issues with BIOS updates than I have with either of those tools.

You’re not kidding. There are no words to describe. Just the set of circumstances that made this possible leaves me speechless.

Are the thieves with plenty of money to burn in the room with you, right now? Can you point them out? Where did they hurt you? Was it actually EA or Ubisoft but you’re scared to let us know? Was it Paradox’s DLC scheme, or Total War? Are they the ones who really hurt you? It’s ok. You’re in a safe space. The AI generated loot skins can’t hurt you, here.

That sounds kind of like a console, no?

Edit: I mean, if the intent is gaming and only gaming, it feels like there’s a lot of overlap. Only the PC would have less support for more freedom.

Just enable the sqlite3 USE flag in /etc/portage/make.conf.

Sorry, wrong distro. I’m assuming Arch can use portage or something if you want.

So, just to be clear, that ‘something that can’t be overcome’ is… checks notes capitalism?

“Ah you think depression is your ally? You merely adopted the depression. I was born in it, molded by it. I didn’t see optimism until I was already a man, by then it was nothing to me but unrealistic idealism!” - Me… and… most millennials, probably.

That’s nice. But… what’s that got to do with the price of fish? Or the price of tea in China?

I’m going to invite you to another angle, and it’s one with a premise that people are still scratching their heads over – forewarning: no matter how honest or objective you try to be about these subjects, this is one of those things where you can’t have a public discussion about it and come out unscathed. Even if people don’t really have a formed opinion of their own. All well.

Natural selection is still taking place. It was never about “idiots” dying off. That’s a bit of a misconception. So let’s drop that rhetoric – even if you wish to keep that opinion. Remember that people can still have plenty of children before doing something terribly stupid and then dying as a result.

In fact, natural selection is in overdrive and stronger than ever. Once you try to grapple with that you’ll need a few more pieces to see a more clear picture of why I believe this. Now, for you down voters: I’m not advocating an idea here --even natural selection-- or stating facts so much as trying to understand and communicate the way I see things. If you can’t understand the nuance in that, then feel free to continue – the button is below.

I’ll begin by addressing the drivers of modern natural selection in the order of what I believe to be the most impactful. Beware that none of this is to discredit or find fault in either men or women – but the concept of natural selection, and all of its woes, are directly tied to having successfully reproduced.

1. Women now have more access to information and communication tools than ever, and that’s a good thing – as are women. I shouldn’t have to state that I believe these to be good things, but here we are. Women are, now more than ever, demanding more value from life at all angles. Including, if not especially, men.

2. Social Media. All these things are tied to my first point. Women, especially younger women, have a better idea of the sorts of things they desire to the point where it will even cause them to feel a decline in their well-being for not having access to it. This may help inform them in a way that they develop other life goals or objectives, rather than participating in a less than desirable relationship.

3. Family Traditions: Less women are being forced into marriages, whether the marriage is arranged or simply obeying their families desire to marry as the families see fit. Self agency – good.

4. Everything else. There are many more drivers – including things not related to women, I just covered what I believe to be the top three – I feel I need to state here again, none of this is to blame or find fault in anyone – man or woman, or anyone else. It’s simply an attempt to try to make sense of the world around me.

Why I believe the above can be evidenced by a couple of simple metrics: a steep decline in birth rates across most of the world, and the male loneliness epidemic. This may not fit comfortably into the idea that death is the main driver of natural selection, but as I’ve already stated, I never believed that it was. Whether natural selection is the correct model to fit this world view into or not and the unpopularity of that model; that would be a different discussion altogether and I’d rather just fit this into the framework of the discussion than have a disclaimer before every sentence for internet points, as I feel I’ve already had to add too many.

“If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping a human face… forever.” - Some book or something.
