I still feel confident I can nail Gens 1-4.

If only I wasn’t such a moron with trying to navigate around Nvidia drivers and Optimus, this sounds fantastic.

I have yet to figure all of this out and get to a smooth and stable state.

Ahoy, guys.

Be the change you want to see in this world, don’t let Thomas Edison continue to shit on everything from his grave.

Unfortunately this seems to be my experience and perspective too. White guys who think this strongly that we’re victimized or disenfranchised make me very suspicious of what the rest of their worldview entails.

Sure, I can appreciate that in cases where it feels particularly forced or inorganic. However, to the extent that the tech/software world aligns with academia or leadership, it’s such a common trope that white guys are very predominant in these positions of authority and conduct themselves like this to women constantly. It doesn’t feel inorganic I guess because of that frame of awareness.

So I do agree that mentioning race like this is sure to be received poorly, but I struggle to weigh that aspect of her post in the focused magnitude that others here as significant compared to her treatment.

Thanks for the clarification. This is how I find out that I’m old.

I’m very sorry, but what is ITT and baww?

White dude here. It’s super easy to read something like this without feeling disenfranchised or bullied. Sure we can do better to avoid it, but that should not at all be the main takeaway from this testimonial. Why aren’t you angry at the common propensity for women in places of academic and professional authority being looked down upon and disrespected like this? This is super common.

As someone who LOVES warp (despite not being crazy about requiring login), this is fantastic news.

I know, right? But I suppose their reasoning is that my ads are also blocked across the rest of their ecosystem, my subscription isn’t covering those losses.

Still though, a model that requires that customers look at something they don’t want to nor will engage with smells like failure.

I can’t remember what video I watched that talked about the unsustainabilty and likely the late stages of an ad revenue driven internet content model, and this situation reeks of that.

I don’t know what new paradigm might replace it if this is the case, but the current model feels like it’s absolutely failing.

So I have YouTube premium but also have ad-blocker, for the first time yesterday I was noticing absolutely abysmal speeds on YouTube and I suspect this is why. I thought my computer was starting to shit the bed initially it was so brutal.

One can dream.

Smh my head

That number is way too low, we ought to be at more than that right now.

I’m looking for a terminal like warp that’s Linux compatible and this initially looked promising but the comments on how bloated it is is discouraging.

Super Mario RPG and Civ 6 still getting tons of mileage

This is good information.

Yeah I imagine the struggles I had with Debian had something to do with enabling proprietary drivers and firmware and leveraging those. Before getting those drivers, the default nouveau drivers were awful, the performance was comically bad.

I’m also not a Linux power user though, so for sure any or all of the above could be meatware issues.

I’m about ready to hop back in and daily drive Linux again after the nightmare that was attempting debian w/KDE plasma and Wayland. I have a Nvidia GPU on my laptop and for some reason I did not have luck at all after moderate success daily driving opensuse tumbleweed and kubuntu for a while.

I’m admittedly looking to onboard myself to the gnome workflow and leave the comfort of the windows style desktop environment experience. Gnome seems a bit more polished and stable than KDE plasma but it’s interface isn’t intuitive to me yet.

Ideally I’ll be using Debian or Arch when the time comes for me to dive back into desktop Linux.

This is a daunting proposition, I’m admittedly massively invested in Google’s ecosystem. Gmail and Google calendar, I have a pixel phone, watch and buds and have YouTube premium. I feel like the time I switch is when I have a homelab and am able to find open source alternatives to everything heavily use and be able to do so with all devices I use.
