@LukeAlmighty I mean, what did you expect? The Fedi psychos, racists, and trannies to come together and hold your hand?
@zonk I get that people can have a bad experience, but how do you end up jumping ship from Arch all the way to MacOS?! I'd assume someone would revert back to whatever distro they used before.
And if somehow his first experience with Linux was Arch... well, there's your problem. You'd have to be literally insane.

And this is how you know these people are psychopaths. They don't help students, or people in general, because they care. They "help" because they expect to receive something in return. At the very least, we see here that he expects undying loyalty.
It's been a while since I've came to this conclusion: progressivism, wokeness, or however you want to call this entire ideology of the left, has attracted all the psychopaths in society. A psychopath thrives on manipulating people, but to do that, they must be viewed as good individuals by those around them. What easier way can that be achieved but through an ideology that all it demands from you to be deemed "good" is to fly a butchered rainbow flag, and repeat DIE mantras every day. "Diversity is our strenght, and orange man bad".
These aren't good people. They were the wolves in our society all along, that found the most stupid sheep to hide among, because that was the easiest place for them to do their damage unimpeded.

I know I've ranted about Linux drivers a few days ago. I guess I'll keep going.
How is this a thing? How old are these controllers? Why is this happening only just now? It's little things like this that just scream "what the hell are you people doing?!".
It's not that the drivers weren't there. Apparently Sony itself helped make them happen. It's that the system, Linux, would occasionally decide to try to use the wrong drivers for a controller. And it took this long to fix that because...?
Linux.
@PinochetsCommieCopter Isn't that literally an US only change? Good luck with the lawsuit. You'll need it.
BTW, this is how it appears to me in Europe.

Could any part of it handle the g-forces? But honestly, this is beyond if it would actually physically work or not. It's just a stupid and useless idea. The only reason things like this popped off in video games is because they're useful UI elements for games.
But IRL, you're just not gonna need this. If by the time your magazine runs out, you haven't dealt with the threat, then you're a lousy shot, and a bullet counter won't mitigate that.

>If that happens, GNU Linux-libre and/or GNU Hurd will save the day.
Hahahahahahahaha
Haven't had a laugh like that in a while. You graduated in my eyes from being a deluded troll, into being completely insane. Imagine invoking Hurd... you're a laughing stock.
@Suiseiseki @j
Bro, stop coping. GNU is the biggest failure around. Literally nobody takes it seriously.
@j At least with Windows, when USB 5 comes out, I'll know it's gonna be supported from the get go. Meanwhile, with Linux, I'll think it has had support all along, only to discover a year after the tech dropped, that they're finally finishing up the drivers.
Literally had this experience with USB 4. It was all in the news for a while and everybody made the hype videos on it with the brand new devices that supported it. And then after the news died off completely, I find a story in phoronix that they've finished adding something regarding the USB4 standard, and now Linux finally fully supports it. And I had a massive WTF moment. Something similar happened with support for some feature of older Intel CPUs.
Of course this is not actually about USB4. I haven't even encountered, let alone used an USB4 device. But it's a big example for me for how badly things are actually being run behind the scenes. Every once in a while I hear news about Linux finally implementing something that was considered standard on Windows for long enough, that I didn't even second guess it that Linux must have support.
Sometimes Linux is great with driver support, but other times it is utter shit, and the people involved seem to be making conscious decisions as to do the exact opposite of taking logistical measures to improve things. Didn't you share an article about how the single maintainer of some WiFi drivers decided to quit? Like how in the hell do you allow a single person to be responsible for that in the first place?! Let alone get blind-sighted by the guy taking his leave, especially when WiFi support has been a notorious issue for Linux? Why didn't the community take active measures to get more people involved in that part of development before?
Whether Windows is good or bad, at least I know that it is the way it is by choice of the people up top. Linux and open source are good my mere chance, not because of the competency of everyone involved. That's how I see things, and that's not a good position to be in. This entire thing is being kept aloft thanks to Linus. When he goes away, if things don't improve in leadership, Linux is gonna flop faster than Windows 8.

>a real product for real guns being worked on
But why?!
@j The only reason I'd participate in such an auction is if I could burn the sketch right after receiving it.
The more I've used open source, the more it feels like everything is just a cluster of highschool cliques that argue with one another incessantly and condescendingly instead of actually getting stuff done.
The entire free/open/whatever you want to call it ecosystem feels like it's hold together by Linus Torvalds and a bunch of scotch tape (not even proper Scotch brand tape, no, that's proprietary of course, can't have that. Cheap, knockoff tape).
If scientists discover some form of immortality within the next two decades, the only reasonable thing this community should do is pull all their money together to buy it for Linus. But they won't even be able to do that right.
@j I can't tell if that's a real gun, or a prop made of a video game gun.

I don't even want to guess what that's about.
