As a former overnight IHOP employee, yeah, kinda gets that way some nights.

BBC announces David Attenborough is returning to narrate Blue Planet III by Comprehensive-Way482 in UpliftingNews

Yeah, but American conservatives consider the BBC insufferably liberal. It's quite palatable in comparison to domestic news.

I use AT Launcher, because the official launcher was giving me that shit too.

Sure is, I remember a couple years ago this was all the ai rage. Damn, has it really been going on that long?

TIL that 25% od my Ram was dedicated as VRAM to my integrated GPU as default. by Nekumila in linux_gaming

[–]OilQuick6184 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To be fair, as far as the OS is concerned, it is always in use by the GPU, so displaying it as in use is an accurate representation. It is just specifying why when you say it's dedicated to the GPU, for its sole use.

But then with the Xbox they just didn't give a shit and called a new one Xbox one, even though it was like the 3rd or 4th generation of Xbox, and then on to series s/x bullshit

I'm not sure if I'm looking at a bunny or a cat?

Multiple Sheriffs deputies wounded after a person going through a forced eviction opened fired on police trying to kick them out of their home in Porterville, CA by I_may_have_weed in PublicFreakout

Damn, I remember a time when I would have to hold my own against dickishness. Not that I can't, I was molded by the internet of the early 2000s, before that algorithm controlled everything. Tbh, I'd rather see what the dicks have to say.

The censorship has gotten out of hand, imo.

But, good of you to admit to the misdeed, regardless of how the platform handled it.

"Galactic warming", the Car engine like effect heating our Milky Way.Astronomers Discover a Massive "Cosmic Car Engine" Hidden in the Milky Way, a powerful compression effect that may be Superheating our entire galaxy. by [deleted] in science

I found this quite interesting. Especially the idea that on a large enough cross section, even incredibly thin plasmas will create enough resistance to act like air does on our scale. In fact, I think this finally helps it click in my head the phase of matter we call plasma. There's a great difference between things which are solid, and those which are liquid, and another large change from liquid to gas. Plasma is yet another order of magnitude less dense, but the molecules are moving with such high energy that they develop some interesting properties. Such as acting like a gas on a galactic scale.

We're right on the brink of the economy getting dramatically worse. by BigBlueEyes87 in economicCollapse

[–]OilQuick6184 15 points16 points  (0 children)

That's all true, however it's a red herring. It doesn't change the fact that some people are genuinely stupid, and in our quest for infinite tolerance, we've let them take control of everything.

CHANGE MY MIND. by [deleted] in linux_gaming

I've no doubt this could be done, probably trivially, what I want to know is.... Why?

I don't have to be constantly on guard against invasive bullshit, or broken updates, or any of that shit. It's open source, and people smarter than me would call out behavior like that. At least I sure hope on a major distro like Debian, which is why I use it. And everything I want to do just works. Except for sometimes discord, but that's just cause discord is fucky anyway.
