My bad, I meant the activity depicted in the picture (popping a wheelie to try to impress a girl) could easily be from a pre-internet time.

Right, I guess I mean I don’t see how the sentiment of wanting to show off for ladies has really changed that much post internet. To me this picture speaks more towards how motorcycles impacted simping, and I’m pretty sure that’s the whole reason motorcycles were invented.

In what way? Guys popping wheelies to impress girls was definitely a thing before the internet. I’m pretty sure that’s why the wheelie was invented.

Can’t blame you. I put a Windows PC together again just so I could play Helldivers 2 a bit more consistently. There’s nothing wrong with wanting to enjoy your leisure time.

Ah… Yeah. Idk. If I was god I’d make it so anyone who wanted to find me could find me through any path regardless of where they started at. Assuming “god” exists and is at least that benevolent then there’s nothing to worry about regardless of your religion.

I think if god exists it would design a system that would lead you to it if you wanted to find it. In which case religion wouldn’t have to be the only way to find god.

But I suppose I should ask what do you mean by the “way to god”?

In my opinion the only god worth thinking about is one that is beyond human comprehension. Once you restrict a god to only only following human logic god ceases to be interesting.

I always liked the ergonomics of the N64 controller. The recreation of those ergonomics using the Wiimote+nunchuk was one of my favorite things about the Wii lol

Good luck ever defining “good”.

Because people want to look cool and not be judged for it!

Ah, I like this solution. Thanks for the suggestion! I set up GPU passthrough for a VM on a build years ago with QEMU. I’m sure I’ll be able to figure that out again.

Haha, I was hoping that because all my monitors are plugged into my AMD card that it wouldn’t cause as many issues, but I was mistaken.

I’m looking at it as an opportunity to learn more about the Linux kernel, the order that certain modules are being loaded in, and environment variables.

Cool! Maybe I can challenge you. Can you help me figure out how I can get my Hyprland session back on my Arch install? I have a Radeon 7700 XT and I recently installed an RTX 4070 to assist with some compute tasks. With both cards installed GDM doesn’t populate the Hyprland option. If I remove the 4070 everything goes back to normal.

(This is also a joke, you don’t need to help me troubleshoot this.)

(Unless you actually know how in which case I can pay you $20 for your time)

Thank you.

That’s a great point. In order to be media literate you usually need to understand complex relationships between individuals and the social structures they exist in.

I think you’re right, but I don’t think most people who use Linux care about whether or not it’s popular. Popularity is almost entirely irrelevant to the philosophy.

I had a hard time getting drivers for an RTX 4070 setup on Fedora a couple months ago. Not that I’m everyone, but I’m relatively competent so I could see how it would be an experience many people have shared.

At some point God might say “I don’t know if I can make it better than this, but I’ll give it a try if you’ll help me out.”

I like how practical your mom is lol

I’m about to go through the Hyprland setup tutorial and I’m pumped af.
