I use it, I just tip way more than anyone else in my area tips. Mostly out of guilt, partially out of solidarity for the working person. I like to think my order at bumps that avg hourly rate up at bit.

Game is so intense. I really like the way it does inventory though

Why do people still play this game??

Yeah my Linux laptop contains infinite desktops.

I would say the Steam Deck has been the major impetus for Linux adoption for a couple of years now. I know it sealed the deal for me, when I went into desktop mode and learned that KDE is basically Windows but better lol.

But Linux, particularly Linux gaming, owes so much to Valve/Proton for the direction we’re going.

Welcome! I’ve been using it for a year and a half now, and the thought of going back to Windows makes me sick to my stomach. This is what it feels like personal computers were always supposed to be, before Microsoft came in and shat their capitalism all over everything.

Don’t give up if you run into a snag, there’s tons of documentation online and people willing to help you out. I also think learning how it works is half the fun, but I’m a weird motherfucker.

Lol… Why don’t you look up what % of scientific breakthroughs in the US are government funded.

Oops.

It’s really fucking ignorant to competely disregard a peer reviewed, scientific study, simply because the URL in which it’s posted on, contain’s “gov”. Grow up.

Fireworks also aren’t legal in large swathes of the US. Doesn’t stop people.

Only semi-related, but interesting study: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3805041/

Yeah, like the others said, it’s bullshit MBA speak meant entirely for PR.

That’s it, thats what will help humanity achieve its true potential, by openai making $100b in profits.

Yay capitalism! We did it!

I said “if they’re correct.”

I don’t fucking know what law.

new?

Well I was referring more to things like Monero, not NFTs…

I guess it might vary depending on how much we’re talking… If they’re correct that credit card companies are requried by law and banks are not, then I can imagine a bank deciding to refuse to refund a purchase if they feel as if it’s too much money. At which point, it becomes much more of a hassle (lawyers getting involved, etc.) to get the money back.

Don’t most debit cards (the ones that have the “Visa” logo) get processed as credit cards online anyway? Unless you’re entering your pin number (which, I would highly advise against ever doing on the internet), then it is processed as a Visa purchase.

Or is that only at the point of sale?

Not necessarily. As another user noted, zero-knowledge proofs might be able to be used to anonymously age-verify people, if done correctly.

Zero Knowledge proofs are so fucking cool.

Say what you will about crypto in general, but the math behind some of the stuff is just so elegant.

Just get rid of Windows completely so the crutch isn’t there. Use a Windows VM if you absolutely need to.

KDE these days is better at being Windows than Windows. Dunno how long it’s been since you’ve used it (or how much/little you tinkered with it)
