I would never translate slutt that literally means end or stop as graduate or the other way round.
Turns out, neither would Google translate

Right. The right wingers are arguing (usually without knowing it because they don’t understand words) for people to stay asleep and not think or question

You’re trying to tell me windows “just works”?
Between updates taking time and breaking shit, drivers constantly demanding updates, auto start programs that slow your machine down and pop up prompts, new “features” in windows asking your time, literal ads in the OS, and I’m sure I could list more examples if I took time, windows hasn’t “just worked” for me in a long time. I was a daily power user of it from about 1997-2014. Which is why I hate it. On Linux, out of that list I experience an update breaking something once or twice a year, and sometimes having to copy paste some config vars on a game. Sometimes (like one in ten).
When I had an Nvidia card it was admittedly different. Not very stable because Nvidia chooses to be assholes. On an AMD card things are solid. Not much configuration when I do game

I get that. I do think some people are pretty closed minded on the topic but you don’t seem to fit that bill. MS is not playing the long game though. Even my brother who has been against the idea of Linux forever is coming around. He’s installed it and playing around with it lately. He might just convert one day…

When it works it’s fine. Mine was crazy buggy though. Rebooted itself a lot and froze a lot. Got a replacement and it did the same crap

I had this problem with a fucking bank once. Even better are the sites that silently chop off characters after the internal limit, on the backend, but don’t tell you or limit the characters on the frontend. I had a really fun time with that last scenario once, resetting my password over and over and having it never work until I decided to just try a shorter password.

I despise the term “circlejerk” and was only using it sarcastically. But in any case, I do grow tired of people shitting on linux. The reasons? I have explained a million times.
I mean, either deal with windows and its 1000 flaws or the same with linux. Some of us would just rather deal with flaws that are honest. I’d rather deal with a bug that 100 people around the globe work together to fix in a timely matter than deal with shit-ass “features” that actively ruin my experience because some disgusting executives want to buy more Porsches this summer. While pretending to care about me as a customer.
Cue “I just want to play games”. Well yeah me too sometimes. Now that I have an AMD card, I never have a problem with it. I spent a lot of time testing my games and 86% worked fine. This included a lot of sketchy/old games (Jedi Knight 1 and 2 for example – those barely can work on anything newer than win 98) that I didn’t expect to work actually… If we’re only talking new games, it’s probably like 95%. I don’t play games enough to care about an occasional poorly-written game not working.

Weirdly defensive about something that you yourself admitted that no one accused you of being
- Comment on ‘Doom: The Dark Ages’ DRM Is Locking Out Linux Users Who Bought the Game 1 week ago:
And the windows circlejerk says private, secure, performant OSes that also play most games are trash not worth trying. Hm.

My thoughts exactly

I mean, Roku sucks both from a user and developer standpoint so it makes sense to me that it’s less maintained
- Comment on Max Is Changing Its Name to (Get This!) HBO Max 1 week ago:
Haha after making their logo closer to HBO. Such boneheads to ever remove HBO from the name to begin with

I can’t tell if you’re minimizing the problem because you think it used to be worse. If so, that’s pretty uncool, unlike the cleanups which you’re doing. Those are cool.
- Comment on The road they drove to dump this trash literally takes to the landfill 2 weeks ago:
I think it’s true that not every landfill charges

Littering really pisses me off. I’ve seen kids throw trash on the ground when a trash can was 5 ft away. Infuriating.
- Comment on The clueless people are out there among us 2 weeks ago:
So yes, you have to make some assumptions. But to me it’s pretty clear that if someone is expressing anger at a possible joke that would be messed up if not a joke, they probably aren’t trolling/joking themselves. And then even if some people were, when you see people doing it en masse, I think it’s a safer assumption to assume no one gets the satire than it is for them to see a single random thing online and then get mad about what they think it means, when there are multiple possible interpretations
- Comment on The clueless people are out there among us 2 weeks ago:
I never said anyone should assume something is satire. It’s possible to just not know something and not make a judgement.
- Comment on The clueless people are out there among us 2 weeks ago:
I feel like it should be more like “Poe’s sometimes true thing” because satire does indeed still exist.
- Comment on The clueless people are out there among us 2 weeks ago:
I dated someone who in earnest believed she has no accent. She didn’t understand what could be wrong about that.
- Comment on The clueless people are out there among us 2 weeks ago:
Yeah. It always strikes me as bizarre how many people online see something that would only be satire in a sane world and completely assume it’s serious. They have no doubts. Never occurred to them it might be a joke…

- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
The trust issue is so real. I can’t even imagine how different I’d be if I grew up trusting and being trusted. I knew my parents lied to me sometimes and they always accused me of it, despite me constantly getting myself in trouble by volunteering honesty no one asked for. A therapist once told me my role in the family seemed to be “truth teller”. I think she was right about that. Maybe I was overcompensating for my family lying by calling out the truth constantly.
It’s a bizarre thing for your parents to believe strangers (in one case a jerk kid who rode my bus) who make shit up, but not believe you, their child. I guess it’s them accidentally admitting they’d lie if they were in the situation they think you’re in.
