arch wiki is good, been using that since i migrated to cachyos in september (had been running win 11 pro for years prior to that). only major issue i had was display related lol, i use a tv that needs a custom EDID to expose 120hz mode and it was an absolute nightmare trying to generate it with linux. ended up using a linux tool to dump my existing EDID then popping it into CRU via wine to generate the new one. Works pretty damn well have to say.

“Black and white” categorization is something that adhd and asd people struggle with constantly. It may not be a choice.

There’s only so much batshit crazy a brain can take before fruit related debates become inevitable.

No, not being able to steal all of the fruit.

you’re underestimating tweakers

Cats eat by sense of smell before taste. Churu is basically thin tapioca pudding (not dairy but texture-wise i mean) with a shitload of strong scents in it that drive them absolutely wild!

would you let me go with “it was a joke”? 😂

It’s not him having money, it’s him spending on one of the most destructive vehicles (environment-wise) as you can buy. Multiple times. I do like that he has kept Valve private, and that he seems to understand what we gamers actually value. But that doesn’t make him a good person or Valve a good company.

Nothing, I guess.

Toooooo bad he also owns multiple yachts and people just kinda give him a pass for it.

That’s fine and perfectly valid, Tim Sweeney is a dick, I just get perturbed if people call a fairly innocuous piece of software malware. Like if nothing else at least the devs are making a chunk of cash for these freebie giveaways. I even saw something the other day where a dev said they saw Steam sales double because of a free giveaway on Epic.

malware? bro you can redeem the games on their website and use an alternate launcher to install them.

Does this do the same thing as turning off duck.ai in settings?

so… they arent allowing admins to uninstall it. they’re letting admins ask their users very nicely to not reinstall it.

Baby just needed a day to adjust, what a cutie.

Halitosis was already the medical term for bad breath, with evidence of its use in England. All that word did was give an American businessman/marketer a polite euphemism to talk about something that was considered taboo at the time (body odors were associated with poor hygiene and lower status people). It does seem like they pushed hard with marketing to make it into a more widespread “problem” though.

I was born in the late 80s, grew up in the 90s and 2000s, and it’s both fascinating and terrifying to me how much of what I thought was just “standard” stuff was influenced by marketing 50-100 years before I was even born. Santa Clause as a jolly old man with rosy cheeks and a snow white beard wasn’t a big thing until Coca-Cola made it part of their advertising in the 30s. The bacon with breakfast thing was the result of a food packaging company in the 1920s hiring a man named Edward Bernays to help them sell more bacon. Bernays was allegedly so good at marketing/manipulation that people like Hitler and Goebbels kept copies of his books. Orange juice became a thing because orange producers in Florida in the early 1900s made too many oranges for the market (in an attempt to beat out California as the country’s orange production state), and juicing them was considered a better alternative to reducing production.

Sorry to necro this but I just saw in the latest LTT vid that apparently Microsoft did go through with this plan? They were talking about it in the context of the diskless xbox that just released. https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/xbox/forum/all/how-to-transfer-content-licenses/7ac76f4e-c7e4-4153-8824-1e424478b02d

That’s their goal. “You’ll own nothing and be happy.”
