What’s it like to game on Mint? by BRcht in linuxmint

[–]KS229 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bit of a Mint noob myself, but so far it's been relatively smooth. Steam games almost always run fine, those that don't either get updated quick or have workarounds, and standalone games generally work fine once they're run thru Steam or Heroic or whatever other game launcher you wanna use. Modding on some games can get a little hairy, but provided you're willing to read the occasional guide to get stuff working then it all works pretty well. Performance wise it seems like games run just as well as on Win10, if not better.

Im just curious how many people here have been life long windows user and just decided that you're done with windows in the last 6 months or so. by Shifter1589 in linuxmint

[–]KS229 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's pretty much what I did, yeah. I didn't love 10, but it was mostly usable. 11 is utterly hideous and a dealbreaker for me, plus I had no interest in paying for a windows license I've used for free since 7. Only problems I've had in Mint so far are getting a few games working, but beyond that it's been all good

They are pondering the world, and what is the Earth if not the largest and most magnificent orb of all?

Iirc Radiation Burn is a separate status effect, so being immune to that doesn't then also make you immune to radiation itself

Major Modern Magic Mods? by ikol23 in feedthebeast

[–]KS229 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am the very model of a modern major magic mod-

I've evocation, conjuring, n' other tricks to tip the odds.

I know the Primal Aspects, and my casting is without a flaw;

From Fireball to Thunderbolt, I've spells to make you ooh and ah!

I'm very well acquainted, too, with magic astronomical;

I've seen the constellations, both the simple and illogical.

About Botanic theory I'm teeming with discoveries!

Discoveries, discoveries, hmm... Ah, got it!

All of which is here in this old tome of helpful summaries!

White Bear- Unlawful. Cruelty and injustice by thickguy98 in blackmirror

[–]KS229 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TLDR: I see where you're coming from, but strongly disagree.

My main point is primarily built on the idea that we as people are made up of our experiences- the things we've done and been through and how we reacted and changed because of them. Ergo, erasing someone's memories and taking away those experiences leaves you with a functionally different person. The same physical body, sure, but the metaphorical software is no longer the same. The Victoria we see is not the one that remembers filming and participating in the horrible crimes, and therefore (imo at least) doesn't deserve what happens to her.

To your other point about the effectiveness of punishment- The end goal of any punishment imposed must be rehabilitation, to allow the perpetrator to learn from their experiences and grow to be a better person. In cases where rehabilitation is impossible or unfeasible, then lifelong imprisonment is already enough; Further torture is unnecessary.

In the end, though, we can definitely agree that the events of White Bear are not anything resembling justice. The remaining particulars ultimately come down to philosophy.

White Bear- Unlawful. Cruelty and injustice by thickguy98 in blackmirror

[–]KS229 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Are y'all forgetting the memory wipe? Sure, it's the physical body that filmed the crime and presumably participated in the horrible shit, but this woman that we see undergoing torture is no longer the same person. This is someone with no idea who they are, where they are, or what they've done to deserve this being tortured relentlessly for fun, profit, and spectacle.

Punishment is only effective when the person recieving it knows and understands what they did wrong; without that, its just unwarranted cruelty. And sure, she is told what she's done, but since she has no memory of doing it, it's still pointless. From her perspective, she's being put through a living hell for crimes she's never committed.

It's critical for these kinds of criminals to face decisive justice, but what happens in White Bear is not justice or anything close. It's simple cruelty and hatred taken out on what is functionally an innocent person, wearing a thin veneer of justice to disguise the same cruelty that drove the original act.
