I’ve heard some pretty weird ass views from vegans about the diet of Indigenous people who’ve traditionally relied on hunting and trapped.

Makes me wish Proton had their own password manager.

Fruit of the Loom makes nice t-shirts too. Wore them as a kid and now as an adult.

I have 2 types of shirts-- shirts for when I go out, and shirts for when I’m at home or mostly at home. I like the former to stay completely clean, and I like the latter to be comprised of 1+ year old t-shirts that can get dirty/stained without worry.

I’m saying both arguments are speculative.

Because you’re making stuff up. Literally every install of an OS has some little issue here and there-- but this is my mistake for assuming any Linux community could be humble enough to cut the BS and stop acting like Linux is a flawless experience. I’m out, keep hanging out at that ~5% market cap and wondering why folks don’t flock over despite it being free.

“All due respect”, this is pure speculation.

This entire discussion is pure speculation-- are you really going to be that guy who says "but not my comment!"?

I feel like you’re completely leaving out the gap that there will between what we’ve achieved now vs 1000 years from now. If there’s advanced life out there that’s been around for long enough, I don’t think it’s biased to say that there’s a chance their tech is far more advanced than ours. I understand what you’re saying, but let’s not pretend we’re the true generation where there won’t be any major breakthroughs. There will be, but they’ll just take longer than before. To make technological leaps comparable from the 1800s to now, it may very well take from now to the year 3000, but the point is the notion that we’re past the point of major leaps is unfounded and based on the false notion that I’m saying in 300 years we can expect technological leaps as large as we’ve seen in the last 300 years.

All due respect, our current theories are probably downright primitive to any advanced life form and there’s undoubtedly blind spots in modern day science, be it in any field.

I don’t believe it works “flawlessly” and I’m tired of people exaggerating their experience in such a misleading way. There’s always some hitches and I don’t get why people basically have to cake their OS experience with makeup like this.

T-shirts. Get a 5 pack each of white, black, and another color you like. There, you’re set for like a year for $30.

Talked a friend out of suicide when COVID first hit and a bunch of people lost their jobs and homes. Now he’s got a pretty sweet work from home job with full benefits and his own place again. Am very happy for him.

Gay people can’t be misogynist? Also this isn’t about ethics, it’s about BS marketing pushing Canadian oil as more ethical than Saudi oil-- from an industry that only cares about this because… they sell Canadian oil (that I’ll add is considerably more expensive to extract and gas prices would skyrocket if Canada relied solely on domestically produced oil).

That too. Cokeheads as well.

Not surprising. O&G industry is full of meatheads.

Just familiarity for me.

I use SoulSeek and have for decades. I have no clue what scene you’re talking about.

I’m bored so I’m just going to make a list:

• Lightroom Classic (I’ve tried Darktable, just not for me. I take a lot of photos on my DSLR and I’ve been using Lightroom since 2015 so for me it’s worth eating the awful monthly subscription that I split with someone else.)

• Anki (flashcard app, very popular among med school students and folks trying to learn new languages. Open source and tons of useful decks available. I’ve aced plenty of exams thanks to Anki.)

• Bitwarden (finally caved and got a password manager-- could not be happier)

• CHIRP (the best for programming handheld, mobile and base station radios)

• CrystalDiskInfo (great for checking the health of SSDs and HDDs)

• DaVinci Resolve (love using this for video editing-- pirated copy was easy to find)

• Deluge (great for torrenting)

• foobar2000 (I love it for music)

• Greenshot (useful screencapture software)

• inSSIDer (great for wifi analysis)

• IrfanView (very good for photo management)

• MusicBrainz Picard (amaaaaaaaaazing god tier music management software to get all the correct metadata/album art)

• reWASD ($7 but it’s so good for no BS macro’ing of keyboard/mouse/gamepad shortcuts and profiles. I have two PCs and two mice + gamepad attached to my PC and this software is very helpful. I think the license is for life.)

• WizTree (SSD/HDD visualization tool that is useful for figuring out what’s taking up too much space on your drive)

Oh man I crave peaches hard. A good peach is delicious.

I have family members who are doctors and they generally agree that the worst patients are physically/verbally abusive ones. Apart from that, they complain a lot about patients who don’t follow their advice and then get angry when they don’t get better.
