Idiocracy rise

The kids are alright.

Everything you said is correct, and yet we still come to a different conclusion.

We’re going to lose 120M+ if we do nothing. And we’ll lose 120M+ if we act.

The issue is the former let’s them win.

You yourself said, “if we can”. You yourself said “I don’t know if we can”. The difference is that I’ve accepted we can’t and we can’t.

My immediate response to everyone around me when that commercial aired was a loud, “fuck no” followed by a, “if any of you get one I will no longer visit”.

Uh…anywhere? There are plenty of alternatives that are less bloated and less shitty and faster.

I honestly don’t even know why people use it.

xrdp or a usable alternative primarily

tried rustdesk, AnyDesk, parsec, nomachine - also no go.

Bluetooth issues as well, mouse and keyboard issues. Bluetooth earbud issues in meetings where I keep cutting out or audio is distorted.

Those are the two biggest, a lot of other minor things

Custom built desktop so we can get into that if we want

Minisforum MS-01 running Proxmox

Minisforum S02 Ultra

Samsung Galaxy Book…5?

Surface Laptop something with the Snapdragon elite X or something

I need them to all be able to easily and quickly integrate and interact.

Mouse drivers, CPU something, USB issues, and Bluetooth.

It varies between my different servers and systems. It’s just one of those things where like, yeah, maybe I can solve it, but it’s going to take hours and I need to be able to constantly move forward.

If I didn’t have to work 12+ hours a day it might be different. So I don’t necessarily fault the landscape, it’s just that I can throw Windows on any system and it works and I can RDP into it and it works and it adjusts DPI and such automatically.

It isn’t just an adjustment period, it’s that some things straight up don’t work though.

Happy to be proved wrong, but I’m not exactly a novice.

ChatGPT is such garbage.

edit: The people down voting me clearly are bots or GPT fanbois. In AI circles nobody thinks ChatGPT is good.

I’m 8 distro attempts in so far and have yet to not sink substantial time into driver and general usability issues.

In another life I’d be happy to sacrifice productivity to grind on fixing the issues, but presently it has real costs.

For now, I run Proxmox and a slew of linux containers and VMs - but still unfortunately use windows as my primary :/

I do, too. But I don’t see any other way out. Everyone faces the music and it goes one of two ways, and I’m honestly not confident it’ll go the good way get, unfortunately.

Good.

Rufus let me install windows with a local account and debloat scripts let me nuke/hide OneDrive.

And, INB4 anyone says “switch to linux”, I’m sorry but it just isn’t viable while maintaining the same seamless experience for what I need. I hate Windows, but I also value my time.

If someone is trying to kill me, I am going to defend myself and I am not going to feel bad if in that defense they meet their demise.

These people, for whatever the reason may be, are trying to kill me and people I care about. And it may be different where you are, but the ones around where I live hate, genuinely hate anyone that disagrees with their way of life and they chant for their death.

So, fuck these people, fuck all of them even the ones that are being duped or are being taken advantage of - because as long as they exist they will continue to contribute to the problem.

I feel bad if some chickens have to be culled due to disease. I love animals. But I recognize they still need to be culled.

So do these people.

That’s the hyper liberal weakness. Empathy for all. Care for all. Acceptance for all.

Unfortunately, in reality, that is not possible unless you want to be destroyed.

Disagree. Intolerance of intolerance is far different than intolerance.

The only time this breaks down for me though is that I still struggle to pay $0.99 for a mobile app I use often sometimes. Really not sure what it is.

Oh no what happens if ICE agents around polling locations are shot dead.
