Lmao loo nah tee, like illuminati :D

I have a 4 year old chromecast 2 that is still going strong 🤷‍♂️

I didn’t comment on the requirement or not, I just know I added my number long ago and have had my account for 8 years

For what it’s worth, I’ve had my discord account for like 8 years at this point and have never received a text from them. I guess they might have sold it off somewhere but i get more political spam then anything else lol

I think it was OC only not “no bots”

At my prior company (we got bought out) the thin clients clearly ran a Linux system that then connected into a windows VM.

For what would make me completely move, I just want my games to work, I know a ton of effort has been made on that front, but Nvidia drivers kinda stink so performance is a bit worse or completely unusable in certain programs on wayland at least.

Stuff like Wabbajack Skyrim/FO mod organizer modlist support for Linux too, along with modding other games in general usually requires windows because of dll hooking being very common.

Same, I do mean moreso building particular skills that businesses are looking for.

See a lot of “no higher Ed, just learned from experience.” any tips on things to do to gain more experience in sysadmin adjacent skills?

I like to think I’m quite competent with Windows/Linux, been a computer geek since I was really young, in a senior “tech support” position, but the kind of things I do at work are usually less advanced then the random side projects I do for fun… I’m basically the Linux guy for our group but that’s not saying much as the support is next to 0 until you get to an actual product role.

It feels like you’d have to have the job to get the experience, but maybe I’m just not aware of what/if there are any particular projects or things to do that could help with more sysadmin side knowledge.

To give a quick easy example, I have a friend who just started a server maintence type role at a different company and was tasked with setting up a Linux server, she ran into several snags trying to set it up with the documentation she was provided by the company, I asked what distro was it, and what commands was she running? Turns out it was just that she waa given instructions for YUM rather then APT (it was Ubuntu) lol

Maybe they’ll reverse course with enough blowback, they did that once with ryzen already, don’t remember which Gen it was but it wasn’t going to be backwards compatible with certain type of mobos, but then they released it anyway and some mobo manufacturers did provide bios updates to support it.

Similarish situation could happen here, the biggest hangup I’d think is that the 3000 series is nearly 5 years old, and getting mobo manufacturers on board for that could be difficult.

Definitely fair, I was moreso thinking of an example similar to the ADHDmemes discussion about how bad our Healthcare system is in general, I’ve seen similar things to that and then someone from another country come in and clearly be irritated that the discussion happened.

I personally blocked feddit and a few French communities because I can’t speak German or French lol, if it was in English I might be interested in seeing the discussion even if it’s not directly relevant to my personal life. 🤷‍♂️

Yeah it’s really annoying that USA people talk about USA problems on the internet, then you have to call them out for living in the country they live in and complaining about the problems they deal with. It completely blocks out any other discussion from people living elsewhere because… Reasons?

/s

I really don’t get this, like is the implication that other countries have problems too that are blocked out in mainstream communities because there are simply more Americans here?

It’s not like we’re specifically trying to snuff out any discussion of other countries/cultures issues, we’re just dealing with the shit we have to deal with.

Are we really comparing commenting online to rape now? That’s a huge leap

These are public sites that are used for free I don’t think there’s really any expectation of privacy, additional translation software is far from a nefarious thing.

One could argue simply posting something online is consent, especially when in a publicly accessible location.

If you post something on Twitter, and someone else screenshots and posts it elsewhere, are they “violating consent” what if that person was Donald Trump or some other ghoul saying some crazy shit. Would you have the same reservations?

This seems like an extreme take to me on what communication and consent mean on the internet.

Would you feel the same way if it was being sent through a “non AI” translation server?

I did yes lol

Why will it be better in just a couple months? Something on the horizon?

Edit: Appreciate the responses!

What about in steam specifically, seemed like a bit of a steam issue as it was very buggy, flicking graphics and such in Steam client and big picture mode was godawful, even tried the render fix mentioned online and it didn’t help at all.

Funny enough, I also flashed my (probably much older) HP Spectre X360 to endevourOS last week, works good, feels more responsive then PopOS was on it.

I then tried Bazzite on my desktop and the experience went much worse, seemingly because of Nvidia driver support still being pretty bad on linux. Oh well.
