Yeah exactly, so strip the layers from this bullshit onion and don't let him have any excuses.

There's like a $10 app called super display that will turn any android device into a touch monitor, pair that with one of those precision styluses with the plastic disc on the end, you got a ~$20 dollar drawing tablet!

I think you're missing the idea a little. Yeah its not the biggest problem, but these guys don't just suggest Linux, the people that just say they prefer it in context and to look into it are fine.

Its the high schoolers and early cs major - types who heard someone else suggest it, and now they've made it their entire personality and are physically incapable of refraining from going off about how much better Linux is than windows, while not particularly understanding what they're even doing.

Example: When I started my programming degree there was one high school kid taking the courses, ANY time someone had an error with their IDE he would go off about how Linux doesn't have any issues.

And then when the group went to go play games together, he'd attach himself to the party and spend like 20+ minutes crying about how the game didn't run well cause devs only dev for windows while he struggled with his wine setup.

In a perfect world, AI would be a supplementary tool that allows small-time players to participate in their field at similar levels to the corporations.

In the current world, AI is coming for EVERY job, eventually. You would think that means nobody has to work, but it will most likely mean nobody is ALLOWED to work.

The cool part is I started working there just after you! I started around 2013 and worked there until about 2016 and it was STILL about maybe $7 or $8 for a meal, and the dollar menu was still $1.06

This shit happened during covid and they're literally only doing it because they can. There have been reports that the current inflation isn't driven by the state of the economy at all, but just corporate greed.

Don't waste your time and money guys, you can get food cheaper at the mom and pop restaurants now, and that food is usually at least half decent. When it's the same price to eat at McDonald's or a "healthier" place like tropical smoothie or Chipotle, why the fuck would I want to pay for ultra processed sludge

Gamers demanding changes saying "it's literally one line of code"

One of the biggest things stopping me is that my partner loves to play fortnite so i play it with them a lot, is there anything to allow you to play EAC games? Iirc epic said they don't want to account for security across every Linux distro

Tech forums in any sense.

If you're tired of seeing the same questions, why are you here? You can just ignore them. But treating a newbie like an idiot for not knowing better just discourages people from getting into your thing and keeps you from meeting cool new people.

ESPECIALLY because a lot of these questions come from kids that literally haven't had the chance to learn better yet. Just kindly point them where they need to go. It takes just as much time as telling them off.

Do you really want an adversary that can potentionally disable a large portion of your populations computers in one fell swoop?

Just saw a Netflix movie about this a month or so back. Obviously the writing was a little embellished, but it was fucking terrifying to imagine something like that happening on a real scale.

There is a chance that it has something to do with the Xbox app, maybe

I just mentioned the other day how scary that is if a third party can crack it and just got blasted about how Microsoft wouldn't put an OS out with vulnerabilities like that lmao

Executives chasing profits with data they don't understand, or the show just sticks around too long.
