No… that’s not true… That’s impossible!

This episode made me look up the word “insidious.”

Not directly though, I first had to get called out by an adult for incorrectly using it to describe the flavor of something else.

Tinfoil hats on? Alrighty then:

All these Verizon outages are intentional and part of the plan to invalidate the 2024 election.

We’ll see it happen again on and around election day, maybe xitter will go down too.

Whole voting districts in Georgia won’t report in, citing system crashes, security breaches, whatever they feel like making up. Republican Secretaries of State will declare the election compromised before vote counting even starts.

Obviously there’s also a hurricane and massive flooding, hence the tinfoil hat, but let’s not forget where and when we are in history, and that The Business Plot was a real thing.

Winamp came with an mp3 file labeled winamp.mp3.

If you played it, it was just someone yelling “Winamp: It really whips the llama’s ass.”

But can you still play Drug Wars?

So, a streamer then.

Me too, love it

Why would they post it to the dark web? The whole point of terrorism is to be as visible as possible. When terrorist groups claim responsibility for things they want it to show up on every media outlet, not some post on onionztftu478dy4zzs.darksite that nobody will ever see or be able to verify.

They contact news agencies directly for that shit.

My personal opinion, but dissociatives suck. They’re not fun, you’re not going to learn or gain anything from it or grow in any way, you’ll just be unable to move and have extremely unpleasant hallucinations for a few hours.

Did that shit exactly once, thought I was a fucking boat for 3 hours, really wanted to stop being a boat and couldn’t.

You do you, but honestly just get an actual psychedelic. Mushrooms have never let me down.

This is a deeply unpopular take but it’s the correct one. I caucusef for Bernie in both 2016 and 2020 and the amount of Hilary/Biden supporters to Bernie supporters in both respective years was dishearteningly high.

The only people who show up for primaries and caucuses are predominantly white, Christian heterosexuals of retirement age.

They’re absolutely fucking terrified of anything remotely approaching progressive policy and they’ll never, ever let us run anyone who doesn’t make them feel safe with all their old white money.

Yep! I’m on Nvidia, the new drivers are really solid. I’ve read AMD cards run fine as well, but don’t use one

I’m gonna start sounding like a shill, but check out Nobara. Painless install, steam games just work out of the box.

Same. They’ve always done this shit, but installing windows - and then uninstalling or disabling all the cooked-in bloat and spyware - has become so ridiculously tiresome that I just said fuck it and went Linux full-time.

Every update or service pack, it starts all over. There’s no such thing as a clean windows install.

Nobara was up and running in like ten minutes with no fuckery at all, and it’s no nice not having to fight my OS on everything.

Nvidia drivers actually come pre-baked with the installer. When you download the iso, just make sure you get the Nvidia one. It’ll install the most recent drivers for you as part of the install.

I’m running a 4060ti on mine (it was free, I know they’re silly cards) with zero issues.

Nobara is pretty close. Glorious Eggroll’s distro, comes with proton pre-installed so it can run steam games out of the box. Worth a shot, I love it

Nvidia just requires a driver install on most distros, and the newer drivers for Linux run rather well. All but one of my games runs better on Linux than on Windows (MK1 has slowdown issues on cinematics)

It’s a lot easier than it used to be. I moved to Nobara (gaming-centric fedora distro that does all the install work for you) maybe two months ago and haven’t been back.

While a few things have required some tweaking, almost everything runs fine out the box and I’ve only had to use the console to troubleshoot one issue so far.

Throw a couple distros on a thumb drive and give one a try

But I was already planning on leaving mine to my son.

Guess he just gets my username and password.
