if it’s just gaming, consider a side-grade to bazzite:
it’s an atomic fedora distro (even has a dedicated Nvidia installer), meaning it’s more difficult to break and easier to rollback when it breaks!
and it has a bunch of gaming related tools pre-installed, which is helpful, but not the main selling point imo.
anyways, yeah, linux gaming is really, REALLY easy these days!
you need hornier friends XD
telegram is the absolute wirst when it comes to constant spam from scams and bullshit group chats… it’s an utter cesspool.

good luck!
if you’re going for a gaming distro, do yourself a favor and go with bazzite!
it’s kind of the unofficial SteamOS for desktop and has a general philosophy of “it just works”, comes preloaded with basically all relevant gaming communities!
prism is in the app store, bazaar, and literally just a click to install ;)
if they weren’t serious, there wouldn’t be a deal.
they, the EU, are/is serious.
the Belgians are just being greedy little cunts.
…so business as usual ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
the high seas encompass all!
use or don’t; who cares?
just don’t spread lies…
not true, it does sort of the opposite:
debrid services cache torrents in order to provide them at high speed to clients (that’s why they aren’t free: they need data storage).
this is a good thing, because it means the swarm is only taxed once per file, instead of constantly by potentially hundreds of streamers.
from stremio’s FAQs:
How Debrid Services Work with Stremio
Stremio itself is a media center application that aggregates content from various sources through add-ons. Debrid services enhance this experience by:
- Converting limited or slow hosting links into high-speed premium links
- Providing access to higher quality sources that might otherwise be unavailable
- Bypassing throttling and download limitations imposed by file hosts
- Offering cached torrents for instant streaming without waiting for peers
that’s got nothing to do with being autistic; that’s just insanely rude!
yelling is absolutely warranted in that situation.
seriously fuck those people.
you’re already in a state of stress due to having major surgery ahead of you. unnecessarily withholding information, for absolutely no reason, would stress out anyone, regardless of wether they’re neurotypical or not.
fuck that bullshit.
This is myth and legend.
Mostly it was equipment being destroyed if they destroyed everything.
ahhhmm…no? at least, that wasn’t the point being made by the workers.
sabotaging factory equipment was a show of intent: “we are serious about causing damage. this time it’s equipment, next time it’s you!”
the factory vandalism was a threat.
if the threat was understood as being serious, and working conditions improved as a result, no further escalation was necessary. that’s why relatively few escalations happened.
however, A) escalations DID go further on quite a few occasions, and B) the threat preventing the necessity of further escalation was the entire point.
so, no, it wasn’t “myth and legend”. it worked exactly as intended.
and it worked, because of the couple of times the threat was not taken seriously. those times made it clear that the threat is real.
sure, and that works at small scales and as long as no change is required.
when either of those two change (large projects where interdependent components become inevitable and frequent updates are necessary) it becomes impossible to use AI for basically anything.
any change you make then has to be carefully considered and weighed against it’s consequences, which AIs can’t do, because they can’t absorb the context of the entire project.
look, I’m not saying you can’t use AI, or that AI is entirely useless.
I’m saying that using AI is the same as any other tool; use it deliberately and for the right job at the right time.
the big problem, especially in commercial contexts, is people using AI without realizing these limitations, thinking it’s some magical genie that can everything.
yes, that’s exactly the point of everything I’ve said:
to an inexperienced user/developer/admin the output LLMs produce look perfectly valid, and for relatively trivial tasks they might even work out…but when it gets more specialized it fails spectacularly and it gets extremely obvious just how limited of a system it really is.
which is why there is so much pushback from professionals. actually that’s pretty much all professionals, not just in IT.
yeah, no… that’s not at all what i said.
i didn’t say “AI doesn’t work”, i said it works exactly as expected: producing bullshit.
i understand perfectly well how to get it to spit out useful information, because i know what i can and cannot ask it about.
I’d much rather not use it, but it’s pretty much unavoidable now, because of how trash search results have become, specifically for technical subjects.
what absolutely doesn’t work is asking AI to perform highly specific, production critical configurations on live systems.
you CAN use it to get general answers to general questions.
“what’s a common way to do this configuration?” works well enough.
“fix this config file for me!” doesn’t work, because it has no concept of what that means in your specific context. and no amount of increasingly specific prompts will ever get you there. …unless “there” is an utter clusterfuck, see the OP top of chain (should have been more specific here…) for proof…
no, AI just sucks ass with any highly customized environment, like network infrastructure, because it has exactly ZERO capacity for on-the-fly learning.
it can somewhat pretend to remember something, but most of the time it doesn’t work, and then people are so, so surprised when it spits out the most ridiculous config for a router, because all it did was string together the top answers on stack overflow from a decade ago, stripping out any and all context that makes it make sense, and presents it as a solution that seems plausible, but absolutely isn’t.
LLMs are literally design to trick people into thinking what they write makes sense.
they have no concept of actually making sense.
this is not an exception, or an improper use of the tech.
it’s an inherent, fundamental flaw.
here’s an example of an online calculator, in case anyone else faces similar problems:
https://www.calculatorsoup.com/calculators/technology/aspect-ratio-calculator.php
there’s a bunch out there, doesn’t matter much which one you use; it’s a simple way to calculate ratios, so you don’t need to do it by hand.
i like this one because of the “nearest standard resolution” hint!
When you reach my age

First time hearing about it
not surprising, given the incredibly stupid name…
no, this is super toxic to the entire modding ecosystem.
if even a single modder starts charging for access to mods, the entire system becomes utter shit over night.
this isn’t theoretical: it has already happened multiple times.
the most famous example, i think, is skyrim.
bethesda tried to create a modding economy with paid mods, and immediately the entire store was filled with extremely low quality bullshit, with little information as to what the mod actually does, with the sole intention to rip users off for basically no effort. quality content got buried, bots were rampant and pushing slop to the top. a complete mess.
this is the guaranteed outcome of any such monetization scheme.
random people can be just as shitty as corporations, if they are financially incentivized to be.
that’s why most modding communities are extremely opposed to paid mods, not because they like corporations.
