The multiplication is implied and has been part of the standard mathematical notation for far longer than any of us have been alive.

You have to view this from outside your tech knowledge bubble.

I have friends that are “stuck on windows 10 because fuck windows 11”. I urge them to give Linux a try via Live USB and they’re hesitant to even do that.

The paid support path is there for people that want to try and escape and need the comfort of that safety net. They don’t feel comfortable trying to figure out even where to search for information. And if they’ve gotten that far, having various instructions for different distros can make things confusing because they probably did a generic “my issue, linux” search or just did a “my issue” search and are seeing cryptic answers, including Mac and windows. If somebody needs that paid safety net, ZorinOS for an existing machine is great, System76/PopOS for something new.

If there is something that provides value (customer support or even the OS equivalent of a hat cosmetic) to the user, I have no concerns at all with that being sold. If that optional value could easily be done yourself with effort, those of us that know how to put in that effort ,are willing to put in the effort, or not afraid of the effort when unknown, will continue to do so. Those of us who don’t match those criteria at least have an option.

Be forewarned, Bazzite has some install issues and can lock up or appear locked up during a painfully long install process. Also, VR support is meh on Bazzite and their immutable distro and managed packages make it more challenging to get non-managed solutions rolling.

As somebody running Bazzite and loving it on their HTPC, I am looking at switching to CachyOS using the Handheld (SteamOS) Display Environment or launching directly into Kodi.

That joke makes me remeber the time I helped my friend move into his 8th floor condo. He has an oversized black leather sofa that didn’t fit in their elevator and we had to take it up the stairs and if it was any bigger it would not have made it up the stairs at all.

Each flight of stairs required us to remove the hand rail, slowly carry it up the flight, then precisely lift and pivot onto the next landing and ready for the next flight, replacing the hand rail, and repeating the process a total of 16 times. I told him that when he leaves that place the sofa is either leaving via the window, chainsaw, or sold with the condo.

Democrats are agasint the 2nd Ammendment? That’s a new one.

Democrats wanting to work within the 2nd Ammandment to regulate a “well regulated militia” is another story.

The framing of Democrats being against the 2nd Ammendment is right wing (and the now defunct Russian fund pipeline: NRA) fear mongering.

More of an ill formed sphereoid than a taco.

Yes, hence the second part of the sentence.

Unless you need to use the precise word for communicating the “context difference”, just use the word impact(ed/ing/s). Makes it a lot easier for ESL speakers as well.

Even then, most people can understand the meaning of the misused word due to the context of what’s being discussed anyways.

Effect vs affect: Use ‘impact’ instead of having to worry about two words that essentially mean the same thing but are context based.

Did they do Tripple Band at your show at the very end as well with the opening act joining in with Double Band? Was a ton of fun.

Twinsies!

I saw Jeff & Pup last month. Was such a blast to party with punks of all ages at that show. Even bought myself a nice Death Rosenstock shirt (yes, death), that has a nice “Fuck ICE” message on it.

How does a massage parlour help with your brother’s eye issues?

Since a lot of Furries work in STEM, and Seattle has a ton of STEM folk, a furry that’s flirting or making a nuclear innuendo joke has a much higher probability of happening in Seattle than most other places (except for maybe Portland).

You probabaly won’t have to wait too long. At this rate, the US is going to fracture soon and as a result I predict a large part of WA will become a new Canadian territory/province.

Hey now, it’s the World Series because Canada is involved! Canada & USA is the entire world, right?

Fraud charges.

The AI bubble is being supported by NVIDIA. They’re investing in the majority of the companies that are then buying chips or services from NVIDIA/Partners (that they’ve also invested in).

The demand for the chips is out-pacing the actual product, AI products & services. And the major players in this space are not making money. OpenAI would have to do a 10x minimum price increase to even begin having a chance to start reporting profits.

Unless some serious outside investments come in, some serious sales of AI services and products, or some creative scammy pivot (crypto?), we’re about to live through another market bubble collapse. Unless

Or, be part of the user base to increase their numbers and be part of the wave that provides user feedback so dev teams can prioritize those features.

Not that I trust Tidal not to turn to shit eventually, probabaly some time after an IPO.

Murder. You’re allowed to say murder. This isn’t YouTube or some other corporate entity that will silence and demonitize you for using the correct words to describe the violence committed by others.
