There have been plenty of cases of windows messing up boot configuration if dual boot over the years, though it’s pretty rare more recently. The last one was only a few months ago and affected systems using secure boot https://www.zdnet.com/article/windows-update-breaks-linux-dual-boot-but-there-is-a-fix-for-some-users/

You’re extrapolating to “forever”. I just want to reduce e-waste by not forcing people to get new computers they don’t want or need yet. Every year of additional service life, more people upgrade hardware for other reasons.

Because of the sheer amount of e-waste it will generate by force-decommissioning hardware in active usage. Don’t know why that’s so hard to understand.

Basically, the highly psychic eldar empire became completely consumed by hedonism to the point that a chaos god (Slaanesh) was born in the immaterium. This event created the eye of terror, a huge warp rift, which is a place where the real universe and the immaterium blend together

If you want to get cancer in your own house go ahead.

I agree with the sentiment of both you and the person I originally applied to. Smoking is a blight and I wish it would go away. I simply don’t think prohibition is the way to do it.

Mainly the health service but also they create insane amounts of litter

Vaping also creates an insane amount of litter. I wish vaping would go away just as much as I do cigarettes.

More like prohibition doesn’t work

You can do PGO with GCC, though it takes extra steps of course

go back to being adults with differences

This is actually a fantasy state. The current situation is a natural step along the road that Republicans have been walking since the 70s. The Christian nationalist take over of the party happened long before trump and I don’t see any reason why it would recede with his departure.

To my knowledge upgrading to the newer release of any of those linux distros was not blocked by having only slightly old and perfectly serviceable hardware.

I completely agree that business ghouls doing business ghoul things make studios make worse games… doesn’t really affect my point though… studios are not making games based on a “bar” set by the consumers as described in the original post…

They are part of the studios… point was “the bar” is “fun/interesting”. The vast majority of people that purchase games don’t have a bar as defined by the comment I originally replied to.

Studios can make whatever they want. People aren’t putting in orders.

DRM is orthagonal to ownership

I never used npp as my code editor but as a secondary program that i kept notes in and would paste text in to manipulate then move back into code editor. It had a rich plugin ecosystem way before that was common. I use Kate for those purposes instead now

Believing things based on the best evidence you have available (someone told you what they’re thinking) and believing things with no credible evidence (religion) are completely different things and one being a good idea does not mean the other one is.

I would say I don’t have one. Atheism is not a religion it is a description of a single attribute, lack of belief in any gods. People seem to think it means a lot more than it does.

Sort of alarming how many upvotes this has without anybody providing any reference at all. We have enough privacy problems to worry about without people posting unsubstantiated claims :/

I can’t find anything about it. Claim seems sus tbh

Where is the info about this?
