I might be splitting hairs, but it’s appeal.

Oh so now you’re qualifying your previous statement.

I get to use the new tags.

I wasn’t.

Can we have one mention of windows or macOS without someone coming shilling Linux all smug and superior?

I’m extremely tech savvy, a software engineer and nerd of decades, so I got sick of seeing all the Linux stuff and decided to wipe windows last week.

Installed fedora, set up networking and then the Nvidia Proprietary drivers and did whatever it needed to do with secure boot.

Powered off and on and boom no network connectivity at all and not sure what happened.

Suffice to say it piqued my inner nerd and I’ll put hours into setting this up again as it’s fun, I’ve gone Arch btw, but let’s not pretend that the average user is going to have an easier experience than they would on windows or Mac.

So you’re saying you lie to try and change reality or present it in a different way?

That’s horrible and I certainly don’t subscribe to this mentality. I will discuss things with people with an open mind and a willingness to change positions if presented with new information.

We are not arguing out of some tribal belief, we have our morals and we will constantly test them to try and be better humans for our fellow humans.

And that’s perfectly fine, life would be dull if we all liked and disliked the same things.

You and I know that, but just in case they’re listening.

Cat subtypes:

• Asshole
• Not asshole.

Ey r rkid there ain’t no need for that you muppet

• This Manc.

Which isn’t specifically about sleep or anything.

I believe it means God willing.

Mashallah is similar and means something like God willed it (made it happen).

So I actually did it and wiped my Windows PC, nothing on there I needed to keep.

Set up Fedora and added the Nvidia Drivers.

Shut down for a few days and in my next boot I downloaded CoolerControl. Then my networking died and I’m at a loss as to what happened.

And people said it was just the same as using windows, yet me a massive nerd, software developer was stuck without ever having attempted to play games.

Cross picket lines? /s

I thought that was Japan.

So the study is showing how it can be lethal is massive doses. Shocker. Anything can kill you with a massive dose.

Drink too much water, dead.

Eat too many bananas, dead.

Poison is in the dosage.

The second link is a news source so I’ll not touch that.

Finally, why are you being so aggressive and confrontational? Is this how you conduct yourself all the time? That must be exhausting and your face must hurt after trying this IRL to people’s faces.

I mean you could have posted it faster than writing whatever this wall of text is.

Clearly you’ve never heard of a paragraph, yet you expect me to believe that you’ve superior research and analytical skills. Makes me wonder where you got your BSc.

You wouldn’t know a medical journal if I balled one up and launched it at your Dunning-Kruger face ffs.

Edit: Furthermore, it pisses me off when people say hurr durr look it up yourself, as it’s disingenuous really. If I had information that would be to the betterment of my fellow human and people didn’t believe me, I would share all I could with them. As to me helping others is what we should strive for, not just ugh this guy doesn’t understand so let’s alienate them even more.

The joke is the commenter.

Dude I can look up “faked moon landing” and start reading, that doesn’t mean what I’m reading isn’t written by someone like you; who is lacking critical thinking skills.

Do you think you can search Google and do a better job than the whole of your government and governments around the world. Even in countries that don’t get along with your own.

I just replied this to the parent comment.

Furthermore even if a card is skimmed these days, at least in the UK, it’s still unlikely transactions would be processed online.

That’s because it’s become so commonplace now for transactions to pop-up in the banks app on the owners phone and they must confirm the transaction and / or receive a code via SMS. Some just use SMS as a means to confirm a transaction.

I guess one vector for attack still remains and that is SIM swapping, but even that is more difficult these days due to widespread awareness from carriers.

I don’t think it’s wise to pass judgement on an entire nation unless you’ve lived their lives and understand the nuances to American life.

Also, an eye for an eye leave the whole world blind.

Edit: I am glad the mods removed the other persons comments as they were not looking to make reasonable arguments and I suspect they were arguing in bad faith.
