  • How I'd fix Windows as a retired Windows Engineer

    Jump

  • Didn’t say you called anyone unstable.

    I haven't seen a stable Linux except for steam os.

    What you did, was call Linux unstable. Which is just objectively untrue. I’m not attacking you. On the contrary, I generally try to be helpful about it. But what you did was say something toxic, maybe accidentally and then call others toxic for pointing that out. Bottom line, Linux isn’t unstable.

  • It can be, because it is huge. But I'm pretty sure it is more toxic to call something unstable because you don't understand it than to point that fact out. Now, if you have a concrete complaint or question, I'd be happy to try and help, but stability isn't your issue.There are machines that have been running for decades.

  • I don’t know how to use it != unstable

  • What are you on about? Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, OpenSuse… not stable. They’ve collectively been stable approaching a century.

  • Whats your hot take on something that doesnt matter at all?

  • Not cactapodes?

  • I mostly agree, but language is mostly descriptive and we’ve just agreed on these combinations; for now. Also, would just any ol’ preposition do, in your view? Against purpose, over accident? Those are pretty fetch.

  • I really think it is just a phatic expression.

  • Which Vine video do you still think about sometimes?

    Jump

  • Can’t get through the grocery without thinking this. Just yesterday I said it to my brother. He looked askance. I guess he wasn’t familiar.

  • If a Great Depression happened again, would people still stand together like they did during the penny auctions?

    Jump

  • Correct as all the negative comments may be, I really think we can’t know what shape it would take. Things change quickly when people get hungry. Only class consciousness can save us.

  • Whats the worst game mechanic?

    Jump

  • How about the release broken game then finish the game way after release… if you’re lucky mechanic?

  • Yes. Gtfo here with that. Infuriating.

  • What the most memorable moment from any video game?

    Jump

  • I don’t know why, but the King Zora Sliding scene has probably stuck with me the most. Not for being annoying or amazing, but because it has been the memory my brain has used to understand so many situations in life. Like the just impossible to avoid, watching paint dry boredom that infects so much of life.

  • How important is a VPN to you?

    Jump

  • No. You’re the only one I see implying there are no cases where data is private outside a VPN. Strictly speaking, if you need only the data across a connection to be private TLS is sufficient. Who is implying that is a complete threat model. You are building more and more strawmen against which to argue, but it really just sounds silly. I’m a professional that has been in the industry for decades, so your dick waving contest just doesn’t move me.

    Yes, a more complete risk analysis in many cases may show that you’d like the host one is reaching to also be private, but nobody is saying such a situation doesn’t exist; you’re barking at the moon.

    Jump

  • Are you saying TLS doesn’t make the data that traverses a connection private? If so, I think we’ve discovered the deficiency in your viewpoint.

    e: missed a word

  • How important is a VPN to you?

    Jump

  • They didn’t say they don’t value privacy; a bit of a strawman. Most connections are private even if not anonymous. TLS is sufficient for many uses. Knowing this allows one to be discerning about when a VPN is more useful.

    Actually maybe I misread your intent. On second glance, looks like you might be yes-and’ing.

  • I am doing DMT for the first time, what should I do to prepare?

  • Say hello to the elves for me.

  • Opinions on best online translator?

    Jump

  • It is quite good. It has good readout voices and offers idiomatic alternative translations. Also has good bookmarklets.

  • In Sonic the Hedgehog 1/2/3, what did you call this powerup?

    Jump

  • Power Slippers? Red Shoes for sure.
