it’s just very convenient and fantastic timing. They’ll rally around this, they got their photo op, naturally blame the libs and It wouldn’t surprise me at all, not one little bit, that when they “find” the shooter…gasp…they’ll be a self proclaimed massive liberal.
This just seems like russan levels of “fell out a window” bullshit.

Just as I get everything all how I like it you make this comment, I look it up, god dammit i have my snapshots ready.
best anti-virus I’ve ever used? my gut n’ noggin.
been online for 30 years and have never once got a virus or trojan or anything and I pirate A LOT. My point being you’re not going to find a super duper great anti-virus program and they’re all gonna be annoying and provide false positives etc. Windows defender is going to ping you a lot cause you’re using cracks to alter admin settings to get your pirated shit to work, that’s the point.
Download from trusted sources and uploaders, do your research. if it feels off or looks iffy then bounce out. People who get virus’ and trogans and shit honstly don’t know what they’re doing and in many cases it’s all hogwash anyways to sell you anti-virus programs.
Like really, truly, think about it for a moment who in your entire life has recently gotten a computer virus? out of all the people I know in my life I can’t even think of a single person that has.
really? I got Forza Horizon working on my Linux machine through Steam.
What distro are you using? I’ve heard if you’re on Mint you’re going to have a bad time. I’m using CachyOS and haven’t had any issues.
if you’re dead set on staying on Windows then ReviOS will help with that. it removes edge, onedrive, copilot, ads, etc. improves performance only slightly.
and even the challenging part doesn’t really have to be that hard and can quickly be figured out. either via a package installer or it can be as simple as git clone <insert git repo> then makepkg -si
I mean with Arch and AUR it’s that easy. worse comes to worse if it’s not in Octopi or AUR then download the exe, wrap it in wine, and that should do it. I’ve been using Linux for almost a month now and I think the only thing I just couldn’t get working was some Mod package for a game and that’s only cause I’m lazy and gave up on it but it would work if I was dedicated to get it working.
use Mastodon. Most of the people I followed on Twitter migrated over to there anyways.
Youtubes algo, especially with shorts, is unforgiving. Even if you mistakenly click on a video or leave a short on then they assume “oh, you want more of this!”
Windows 11. It was just so damn frustrating. about once or twice a year it would randomly kill my wifi adaptor for whatever unknown reason. regardless of uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers, nope, would just prevent the wifi from connecting to anything and the ONLY solution was a OS reinstall.
also my main machine is a laptop. a gaming laptop at that. with Win11 I could average about 30 to 45min out of the battery. It was just such a hassle to go anywhere (I work remotely a lot) and always have to look for a plug. Windows just ate my battery like it was a t-bone steak. I even thought I had to replace my battery.
Then I just finally had enough and decided to try out Linux. Someone here on Lemmy suggested Mint as a good starter for me. Played around with it for like 3 days and decided to just backup everything and wipe my machine and install linux.
Used Mint for maybe 2 weeks beforce deciding to switch to CachyOS. Mint was fine and all but wasn’t great with my Nvidia GPU. CachyOS has been awesome. Everything is faster. my laptop boots up super quick now, games run at twice the FPS than they did on Windows and my battery…holy shit my battery WASN’T dying. I now get 4 hours (!!!) out of it. For that reason alone i’ll never go back to Windows.
also just a heads up to potentially avoid the random “windows update will fuck shit up” problem look into ReviOS. If you’re just using it on a hobby box thing then that might be an option that will work out for you. it removes Edge, copilot, onedrive, all the bloatware removes the anti-privacy shit and lets you choose the updates.
before I switched to Linux that’s what I was using over instead of just regular windows 11. I mean the preformance improvments wasn’t anything I would say was groundbreaking but it was noticibly faster than regular win11.
ICQ and IRC were older and more popular just before AIM. I first got online in 96 or 97 and then it was all mIRC and ICQ (Hell I still remember my ICQ number off the top of my head, 18982172) then I’d say around 99/00 it transitioned primarily to AIM with a bit of ICQ and other random chatrooms that were “cooler” than IRC like “The Palace” which was essentially irc but with avatars.
But then with Trillium or like Pigeon it all transitioned to that and in a weird way message boards circled back around and replaced chat rooms. Things just gradually got more and more isolated. Then Myspace and eventually Facebook replaced all of that and eventually discord just replaced everything.
I don’t use Discord, I can’t stand it. I miss the days of IRC and ICQ.
really? opposite for me and my group back in the late 90s/early 00s. IRC was for gamers as it was easier to organize a group since most games at the time someone had to host and connect to their IP. ICQ was more for friends and nerd stuff.
FF hasn’t been like that since like 10. 12 to 16 is all real time combat. even the FF7 remake is real time.
you could always duel boot or VM for your adobe stuff.
also thanks to lemmy I made the switch from Windows to Linux and I’ll never go back.
What distro did you settle on for your PC?
I only just switched to Linux this past week and I use Mint. It was suggested to me by someone here on lemmy. It was easy to set up, customize, and get all my stuff working on it. I have World of Warcraft, Final Fantasy XIV, Elden Ring and a few other games all working on it. The only issue, and right now it’s a minor one, I’m having is the 535 nividia drivers can cause random stutters/lag every now and then but nothing major.
My point is for people like me who are new to linux and don’t want to get overwhelmed I think Mint is great. I know eventually i’ll change to a different more “advanced” distro, right now I have my eye on CachyOS, but I don’t think I’m there quite yet to confidently install it.
it was the nvidia 535 driver. I switched to nouveau and that solved the stuttering/lag. but made gaming suck. so then I tried installing 550 drivers and that just outright bricked my system, recovered and went back to the 535. works for gaming so I’ll just tolerate the stuttering I guess.
So either use Nvidia’s driver and deal with the stuttering or don’t and can’t game. great.
i’m just skeptical. Secret service let him stand there a couple times and pose. wouldn’t they wisk him off stage regardless of his protests?
regardless this will decide the election and as of today the US is fucked.
