So was unlocking the taskbar and dragging it to the left side of the screen, now you literally can’t. Apparently you can modify it via registry but half the buttons stop working because it isn’t designed for that.

Crazy that that was what made me switch years ago…

There is nothing wrong with cout, way better than the java long ass sentence.

If lots of states allow cops to require you to provide your name and you don’t, isn’t that refusal to comply with a lawful order, and thus a crime?

You are lumping together sensory signals (feelings, sights, sounds) with the internal decision making of your brain (beliefs).

I think you are confused by the literal definition of belief, because as it is defined, a belief is anything you think is true, specially without literal proof. There’s tons of stuff we believe are true without certain proof: math, science, memory to a certain extent…

Let me explain, not everyone is a mathematician, not everyone is a scientist, especially an absolute expert in every field. What people usually do is they it trust in people that are experts and they believe that what those say is true because they have proven it to another collection of authorities, and we believe that what those authorities are trustworthy because X. There’s papers about it and I can looks them, but I and most people probably won’t because I decided to believe in their words. That core belief on science, on the fact that the science as we know it is correct (which is again dependant on the interpretation of the universe we currently hold being true which we don’t know…), is something people don’t offer recognise as a belief, but it is.

What you believe to be true will affect how you process what you see, what you hear, and how you ultimately act.

It’s important because it’s the deciding factor of almost every actions you consciously take.

Let me say that I’m not, in no way shape or form, saying belief in a religious tone. I’m using the literal definition of belief of the dictionary.

For reference because I won’t probably return to this comment, they way I see beliefs is similar to the philosopher Ortega y Gasset.

No he wouldn’t, his philosophical viewpoint is a belief in itself. So important to him that he revolved his life around it!

You are assuming that belief = religion, but that’s waaaay off. Belief is anything you don’t know of, and I would argue that there is extremely little we do know at any given point in time. Right now I believe that the window in my room is opened because I can’t see it, and even if I looked at it, I’m believing that my eyes aren’t defying my reasoning.

Belief is what defines us as individuals, every kind of assumptions we do, anything we try to remember, any intuition we have that’s based on experience aka memory, it’s all small figments of our belief system.

Way too fucking late…

How dare you, alioli is heavenly and ranch is disgusting. I’ve been to the US once and had the displeasure of tasting it.

Apparently they do but it’s the Mexican variant where they imitate the chufa/Tiger nut flavour with rice and vanilla apparently. They don’t know what they are missing.

The fact that you will be nearer to the place where the real horchata is made? The Mexican horchata is an imitation of the one made with Chufa in Spain.

It’s originally a Spaniard drink, done with something called Chufa. The Mexican variant apparently is an imitation using rice as a replacement. Being in Europe I’d go for the real thing tbh.

It tastes like sweet almond milk, kinda, probably because chufa is called ground almond in english. You might get a similar taste if you mix rice and almond milk but don’t tell any Valencian I said that.

You mentioned tons of fantasy subgenres, but the one I was singling out is sci-fi, which is not something classical fantasy fans are usually fans of.

If you put add SciFi into the bag and remove a huge part of the books, keeping only the bestsellers, no wonder the statistics are so different.

I’d say that it’s you who has skewed the comparison here.

I get your point but you are comparing phones with consoles. I don’t think that apple’s case can be used as precedent here.

That’s the sentiment that allows these rich fucks to avoid paying taxes without big backlash. First focus on collecting, then on spending…

It’s more nuanced though. Here’s how rich people use charities to gain wealth:

Rich person has tons of money that would be taxed if bill Y passes. Rich person creates a charity and donated 20% of what they would had to pay to the IRS to the charity, with that money the charity uses half for good causes and half is given to X lobby company, which then lobbies politicians to avoid passing that bill.

In the end, the rich person saved 80% of what they would had to pay.

Yeah, 10% went to good causes but imagine what the society could afford if 100% went through instead of 0.

This is a very rough outline of how they do it, but the summary is that they use charities to donate to lobbies while skipping taxes on the donation itself.

Booooy, read about sandy hook, the infowars dude lost a lawsuit so big he had to apparently sell infowars, and the onion won the bid.

Then the dude tried to null the bid or something, and the comic happened.

I just go to a print/copy store. Pay up, be done with it.

You said that the kernel anticheat problem will never be solved, I challenged that, not that this is seen as a Linux problem for the end user or not.

I play all the games I want to play, no one wants to play all the games, there’s no physical time to do so.

Also, all of this is in the context of a tech savvy person. A tech savvy person can tweak almost all games to run properly nowadays… I do and I’m not THAT savvy.

It’s kinda funny you mention all those points to me, when I’ve been gaming on Linux for about 3 years now. I play on steam, use heroic for gog games, play a lot of modded D2… All in Linux. Saying that Microsoft treats backwards compatibility and support when they are forcing everyone to either pay for win10 support or join the win11 spyware mafia is a ludicrous statement btw.

Games with kernel-level anticheat do work on Linux, if the anticheat provider has done the work. Right now, most don’t and actively stopped supporting Linux so saying that won’t work ever is kind of a stretch.

“Isn’t good enough to replace windows” - here I am playing Modded games, path of exile, ffxiv, other FF games, cyberpunk, all PC monster Hunter games… Your statement is false.

I see nothing wrong with using a compatibility layer, it does the work of retrocompatibility alongside separating game environments, which is good for security.

Oh, sure. Agreed that at the time the proton Linux ecosystem was pretty under developed.

But to be excited now about a windows handheld is a whole other story, specially because of the battery as stated.

Unless you want to play TFT on the handheld for some god forsake reason I see no point on it being windows. But I ditched widows for all my PCs and I’m very tech savvy so I’m biased.
