“I think it’s worth it to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the second amendment to protect our other God-given rights. That is a prudent deal. It is rational.” - Charlie Kirk

Another vote for trying a live distro. If the live version detects all your computer’s hardware, it will detect it when you install it for real.

I’ve had 3 different graphics cards since 2009.

I have an nVidia RTX 3060, running on a desktop I built back in 2009. I’m running Linux Mint with the KDE Plasma desktop with no problems. All the Steam I bought on Windows, run with no problems under Linux.

Any non-Steam games, like Giants: Citizen Kabuto or Deus Ex (1) run on Wine under the default settings with no problems.

I think adopting Proton was the smartest thing Valve ever did. They are going to capture 90% of gamers switching from Windows to Linux.

I’ve been using SearX for over a year now. https://priv.au/

It returns old-school, unranked results. It currently has at least 50 Instances you can choose from. https://searx.space/

China did NOT create a mosquito sized drone. They DID however create this awesome starship!

Seriously, how long are we going do the bi-monthly “China invents world changing technology” headline? These aren’t even good lies.

Would I have just a regular tiger brain while I was invisible, or would I be a smart tiger?

Many Linux distros have “live” versions that you can boot from without changing anything on your computer. If the live version detects your fingerprint sensor, it will detect it when you install it for real.

One person’s “scraping” is another person’s plagiarism.

And Trump is just going to screw him over anyway, bribe or no bribe.

Well, “dark traffic” sounds SCARY. You wouldn’t want to do anything scary, would you? Like, use the computer you paid for to control the content you want to see? /s

Website: “You appear to be using an ad blocker.” Me: “You appear to be correct.”

I recommend downloading a Live Linux distribution and booting it from a USB stick.

This let’s you try out linux without making any changes to your Windows setup. It also lets you make sure linux detects all your computer’s hardware. If the live session works fine, the it will detect all that same hardware when you install it for real.

Plus, once you get done de-bloating Windows, the next Windows update will undo all your hard work and reset everything back to “allow all bloatware and spyware.” It’s a battle you’re never going to win unless you ditch Windows completely.

The next time you wonder, “wow. How can they provide this amazing service for free?” always remember: YOU are the product.

Game companies need to focus on making good games. Take “pride” in that.

I always saw Musk as a dumbass who didn’t know what he was doing.

The Atari 2600 is just hardware. The software came on plug-in cartridges. Video Chess was released for it in 1979.
