    Arch Linux

    Unless you’re on a good downstream like SteamOS, I’d suggest switching to something stable cutting edge (Fedora or Nobara if you want to put in zero effort).

    Arch by itself will give you way the hell too many possible problems. You could waste hours on DKMS alone.

    Mint will also work, but it has the downside of having slower updates to software packages.

    I’m waiting for the day someone wears a tinfoil hat specifically to protect only their head from beta radiation from something stupid like a pile of slightly radioactive rocks from a mine.

    It would just be so funny to demonstrate an actual use, but not care about covering the test of your body lol.


  • I got banned from the Kraken crypto exchange after waiting a year for them to approve me and after providing all my IRL credentials.

    Told me I was banned, never to come back, and that they were going to report my fraud attempt to the authorities. Of course they refused to tell me what they thought I did, which didn’t make any sense because all I had been able to do was make an account and make a verification request.

    Never really even looked at crypto again beyond mining dogecoin for fun.

    I’m gonna be honest I’ve never had a flatpak version of something ever work properly.

    There was even one popular media player that only came in flatpak form or otherwise build from source.

    So obviously, for no reason at all, it barely functioned compared to other applications I had already tried.

    Congrats to you people put there somehow running things like Steam with no problems lmao.



  • I like how all these answers involving science fail to realize that the scientific method was used exclusively by many scholars and students who had no historical evidence of giving up their religion.

    Empirical evidence is as old as humans, and afaik the modern scientific method has been in use since the Islamic golden age if not older.

    The key here is that many of these people did not consider religion an empirical issue but a philosophical and ethical one. Particularly with the monotheistic religions, this would make sense because you can easily argue that it would be impractical to test for the existence of God.

    I think a better question would be why do people believe in their respective religion if it contains a glaring contradiction(s).

    This central idea is why I hate dune.

    Having a so called prophesied savior capable of insane things coming from a distant royal family of some space empire is too stupid to believe in.

    You can’t be both the underdog and the king at the same time, especially when your own supporters treat themselves as expendable.







  • The hardware and firmware supports it and we have inter protocol solutions to handle edge cases.

    The problem is that when the Ipv4 addresses actually ran out, ICANN realized that a metric ton of them were in use because people, especially businesses, were not using NATing.

    ICANN (ARIN) slowly grabbed the addresses back, and NATing became the standard so no one really cared that much anymore because the amount of public addresses actually needed was significantly reduced.

    Other things like SPN, updates to SSL, and various other address sharing technologies reduced the need for individual public ipv4 addresses even further.

    There’s still a shortage and a wait list to get new addresses, but it’s not critical so people don’t have that much of an incentive to switch to ipv6.
