I bought a table saw during COVID. They only allowed pickup in the parking lot. You couldn’t rent vehicles because we were on lockdown. I had no choice but to pick it up with my Jetta.
People were laughing their asses off at me unpacking it and barely fitting it in the trunk. Styrofoam was going everywhere as I broke it. Had to throw all the packing material into a dumpster.
So embarrassing.
My mortgage broker sent me a renewal package. Just threw that out. I still have a few months.
I had this happen once or twice, caused by bad Nvidia drivers with Wayland.
I use AMD now for my day job, haven’t had a single issue in over two years. That’s not to say you should use it - it’s still a rolling release distro and will always have a potential to break over most other distros.
No, it’s still GMO. My usage was vague, that’s on me.
This is true. I should have specified that geographically GMO is a bad thing here because it’s typically associated with creating hard tasteless produce that can survive long haul transportation
Come to Canada and eat any of our supermarket strawberries, they’re disgusting.
One of my Italian tour guides last year was so confused when I explained how our produce is nothing like what they have there. Strawberries are sour, not juicy, and white inside.
We do have some good local strawberries during the summer. This is why, to us, GMO is a bad thing
Genuine question, where are you from?
Where I’m from GMO is used to prevent ripening and damage during transportation which results in weak tasting and tough produce that can survive long distance transportation.
GMO has negative effects too, it’s ignorant to think otherwise.
Typical NA strawberries are GMO and suck though
Edit: didn’t realize how ignorant people are - GMO is also used to make food hard for long transportation purposes, resulting in tough food with very weak taste.
Ya, even my Jettas physical buttons only increase the speed by 2km
RIP 23344084
I didn’t know that that is
Does this apply to chromium browsers too?
Imagine NOT being banned from FreeDesktop
I use arch as a daily driver. Very seldom have any issues, and any issues I do have are from the software. I.e. mesa breaking vaapi, grub breaking boot, etc.
Use stagnant software if you can’t spare 5 minutes once in a while rolling back problematic packages.
I’ve had more issues with most distros than arch.
The narrative around Nvidia seems to have done a complete 180 in the last year or two. I’m skeptical that it’s as good as many are stating.
Are these OSS drivers maintained by Nvidia? Or is it Nouveau?
No need to apologize, you’re the first person to actually calmly and willingly discuss the topic without completely dismissing being disagreed with.
I know you’re not the originally comment I was replying to, but you conveniently moved the goal posts. The context of the entire conversation is whether TikTok specifically should be shut down because it targets children for it’s own gain. You’re now arguing that social media in general has negative impact on society and children, which I agree with, but is completely skewing the conversation and was, in no way, the central point of the discussion.
So your opinion is that all social media platforms that deem to have negative affects on society should be shut down? Do you not see what’s wrong with that? You’re saying humans can’t decide whether or not they want to use social media. You should understand how absolutely absurd that is - that is a completely dystopian totalitarian dictatorship idea. It sounds like a chapter in 1984.
Agreed. We’re both being downvote because we’re not part of the hive mind.
Most of the links provided are about how children were easy to advertise to and TikTok was not properly protecting them. That’s a completely different discussion than “tiktok is targeting children”.
I want to be a supporter of keeping children safe, but I don’t think banning tiktok will help anything other than create 5 new platforms that will make letting kids safe even harder
Edit: that last argument is a straw man, but you get the point
