The funniest thing is it doesn’t even have to be this way with Windows. I’ve unfortunately had to go back to dual booting lately but I’m using Win 10 LTSC and I have to say I’m surprised how tolerable it is. I’d still rather not use it but eeh it’s fine.

To add to everything else mentioned, many places (schools, workplaces) don’t allow any usage of BitTorrent, even legal. A guy at my uni got yelled at for torrenting a Linux iso. Not to mention depending on where you live your ISP might be interested in that activity unless you’re using a vpn.

Am I the only one who’s fine with typing a password?

I don’t really get what people mean when describing Gnome or any DE as “out of the way”. I’ve never felt like KDE was “in my way”.

Probably because it’s not as flashy as Discord

I see no “hostility” and “talking down” here. You shouldn’t be running GUI programs with sudo, and the fact that you’ve been using Linux for X amount of years doesn’t change that.

Gentoo because while it was fun to try I sure as hell won’t be waiting around for my stuff to compile.

I had the occasional mild cough for like 3 months after I tested negative and felt a smell of onion and/or petrol everywhere.

Ah, I see. Sorry, irony in pure text form can be difficult to spot.

You speak from my heart brother, those fuckers are destroying Hungary’s future.

Impressed? With Budapest? Outside of the nice touristy areas it’s a poverty-ridden cesspool

And there’s a neovim plugin for it. It’s my favorite git client.

Assetto Corsa works? I haven’t managed to get it running at all yet (unlike ACC which works beautifully), did you do any tweak?

I risk sounding very “AKSHUALLYY” here, but online tests do a huge harm to the credibility of MBTI, no wonder it gets such a bad rep when the tests are so unreliable and people nevertheless base their entire personalities on it… Originally it’s not supposed to be based on the binary choices of the 4 letters but the “cognitive functions” as defined by Carl Jung, which a lot of people will find to be just as much non-sense but with the right attitude I think they’re a useful tool to learn about ourselves and others.

It shouldn’t be taken as scientific truth but it can help you know yourself and others better, and it’s an insult to compare it to astrology because at least it’s not based on completely random things like the position of the planets when you were born. The issue is that most people only know MBTI as online tests, which are self-report and have extremely vague and stereotypical questions that can very easily be manipulated to get whatever result you want, with the worst offender being the most popular one, 16personalities, which isn’t even an actual MBTI test but a BIg 5 one (which is not to say Big 5 is bad, but it’s very misleading to map it to MBTI types). In reality to use MBTI somewhat effectively is going to take studying Carl Jung’s work, how MBTI builds on that, lots of introspection, asking people about yourself, and lots of doubting and double checking your thinking. And very importantly you have to accept that in the end this all isn’t real and just a way to conceptualize different aspects of our personalities and it’s in no way predictive, you have to let go of stereotypes, anyone can act in any way, it’s just about tendencies.

I don’t want to get rid of daylight savings, because it’s still a better option than keeping either summer or winter time.

Edit: another one: not having kids does not in any way contribute to solving environmental problems, we need MORE young, educated minds who have a chance to figure it out (as terrible as it sounds to push problems on the new generation), and we should ensure that in the event that we do manage to stabilize the situation, we won’t instead have fucked up demographics to deal with.

Hardly an unpopular opinion these days

Pseudo-scientific jibber-jabber doesn’t actually work? Color me shocked
