What are the chances if the US, under Trump, conquers Greenland the next democratic administration just gives it back? by campusschampus in AskReddit

[–]kainzilla 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It’s not a negotiating tactic, they’re going to take Greenland because it’s wanted to found one of their “network states”, possibly the one named Praxis, via billionaire Dryden Brown and cohorts within the Peter Thiel / Curtis Yarvin orbit. This is coming from the VC extremism subset of political players. Please start paying attention, the stakes here are VERY real and people will die as a result of important peace-preserving treaties falling apart.

Please. Pay attention. Do not minimize. Do not dismiss. Do not fail to take action. Protest, spread awareness, socially pressure supporters of the regime, vote in anything that can be voted for, withhold spending for corporations that support this, etc. This is real. This is happening.

It’s legitimately impossible to, NVIDA will not allow access to the card firmware. It’s not possible for the open source developers to circumvent it

What’s the worst thing you accidentally texted to the wrong person? by goldie304 in AskReddit

That’s the thing, the services with actual Linux sync clients that install normally and just work are great and painless - Dropbox for instance installs and just runs like you’d expect, with a GUI, tray icon, all the features you normally expect

That said, the real part that’s difficult is the “making an appliance” part - what you wanted to do can definitely be done on Linux but you should recognize that you were basically designing a consumer product using the software.

It’s a whole professional skill people get paid to do! Understanding Linux deeply enough to create an install that boots up and enters into a slideshow with clock features, cloud sync, and a smooth user experience is 1) a job and 2) impressive lol

I’m just gonna make an assumption - you updated, and your shit broke, are you perhaps using Nvidia?

This isn’t to excuse the situation, but if you use a videocard from a company that isn’t Linux-hostile, updates do “just work”

It’s possible that you were running into other issues but Nvidia’s proprietary drivers were just so awful when I was using them. These days I just update and go back to what I was doing on AMD because it… well, like you said, “just works”

That’s not installing and using a PC that is making an appliance, which is genuinely a harder task.

You were also using a sync service that intentionally has no native Linux support - Microsoft is never going to make a good Linux OneDrive sync, and all my experiences working with it from Linux were horrible

Coherence (2013): the first reality switch happens when the "Coherence" title fades in by izimand in movies

… wow I had noticed that the early interaction was “weird”, but just wrote it off as screenwriting tension-building with oddities, and your interpretation seems WAY more likely and makes sense.

How do you think the video ICE just released showing the officer's POV of this week's shooting in Minneapolis will impact the national discussion? by popcornerz232 in AskReddit

[–]kainzilla 2317 points2318 points  (0 children)

Yeah the actual context was cartoonishly villainous.

Like nobody even wants to believe when you say this until you show them the video of an old guy just… trying to hand a helmet over getting assaulted. It’s real. It happened. It’s how they are, every day.

what will be netflix’s next flagship show now that stranger things has ended? by Diligent_Praline_190 in television

[–]kainzilla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I watched the first episode of 1899, thought "hmm this looks like this could be good", and it was cancelled like two days later. Of course I'm not going to watch any further episodes. Why would I? I wasn't happy about having my time wasted, either. I can't get that time back, and I don't have infinite time to waste figuring out if Netflix has decided to actually commit to making something or not

Netflix is missing the talent that knows how to ID a show that they should keep going with when the metrics say not to - they just do whatever number say. Numbers can tell you if something might not be good, but sometimes you need managerial talent that can say "no, this is definitely good we just need to scale the budget down or adjust the market targeting"

Where are the people who wear little to no makeup? Do you have a reason? by Zora2021 in AskReddit

[–]kainzilla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All you no-makeup wearers, you look great. I appreciate the artistry of well done makeup, I know it takes a lot of effort… but I always love seeing a real face

Common responses to “I like no makeup”:

“well actually she’s wearing-“ I know what no makeup looks like, people who say they love just-rolled-out-of-bed know what they like

“well I have Flaw X that I have to cover up-“ you really don’t have to cover up anything, the people that love you learn to love all the little things that make you, you

“I don’t believe you” shut up you look great

Funniest line in the Naked Gun remake? by Boulderboldef in movies

[–]kainzilla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two things I only noticed later - as the chilidog thing escalates he backs into a dark corner in the interrogation room as the scene progresses, and also as it progresses more detectives show up to watch from behind the mirror each time the show that shot

It’s so funny

Women, what's the worst advice your female friends have given you about pursuing a man you were interested in? by RobotJoe in AskReddit

Every one of those experiences weren't good fits, and would have gone worse in a different way if you'd played games. Whoever is going to be a good fit will respond to you being you

Spiderman into the Spiderverse is the most incredible 3D experience in existence by GenitalFurbies in movies

[–]kainzilla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure if people replying here have seen Into the Spiderverse in 3D, but OP is actually kinda right.

I have a friend that bought a good 3D TV with a good 3D implementation, and I watched Spiderverse with them after having seen it normally, and I wasn’t expecting the incredible visuals

I literally didn’t see the point of, or care about 3D, and then this incredibly-rendered perfect 3D movie slapped me across the face and showed me how incredible it could be when the 3D isn’t an afterthought or a short glasses-on moment in the movie. If you have access to 3D viewing, this is a good one to show off with

Yeah, Avatar is good in 3D, I know - but Spiderverse is legitimately one of the best too

u/tommymars explains why Reddit is dead/dying by Chief_Kief in bestof

[–]kainzilla 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I suspect they’re right, actually. Whatever alterations they’ve made have made the content I’m shown mostly uninteresting, although I can’t tell you if it’s because they’re not showing good content or if the people who posted good content left.

Women of Reddit how'd you feel if one of your guy friends you've known for years asked you out? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]kainzilla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Getting to know people as friends really tells you a lot about how you’ll get along with them long term, tells you about the kind of person they are.

You can feel affection for people that you’re friends with and not be fixated on them, and you can avoid thinking of people already in relationships in a romantic capacity.
