AI nonsense, shoo

Well, it’s primarily my coding laptop, so I prioritize the OS that has the best tooling for my needs there. Gaming is just a happy secondary option on the machine. :)

The stereotype is of the haughty Linux user, but fuck me all I ever see in these discussions is Windows users being belittling assholes.

Take your aggressively rude snobbish attitude elsewhere.

I run Windows normally.

How long does your Window box function without updates? How long does it remain safe? Historically, a few months at best until they bundle telemetry in a new way. Then you need to find another rando dude’s github for workarounds.

Anyway what you are describing is literally a hassle that for me is just not worth it. I can do all that and set up and update group policies for updates over and over oooooor I can literally spend less mental energy figuring out how to configure my drivers on Linux.

What you do works for you and you feel it is convenient. That is fine.

I have a Windows laptop specifically for gaming, but I end up using my Linux coding laptop for games in the end.

It’s less hassle figuring out how to enable nvidia drivers on xorg in GNU linux so that I csn use Proton emulation than to deal with this weeks clusterfuck of windows update trying to make me turn on ads and spying and trick me into using a microsoft.com account to log in.

I am not joking.

The windows still has some dust on it from when I did some house renovations months ago, because I haven’t been bothered to use it.

All femimist authors attract a following of dudes who, despite not being antifeminist when asked, somehow always manage to find abnormal amounts of energy to repeatedly and loudly criticize them for objective faults.

Energy and time they rarely manage to find for criticizing authors who are not feminist.

You kick at empty space. Dumb move! You strain a muscle.

You kicked a doorway with an open door, a broken door, or no door.

“Ok so he’s corrupt but he also helped provoke one of the most brutal wars our generation has ever seen and made me look good for threatening to stop supplying them with bombs, so can’t you cut him some slack?”

It’s a reasonable explanation.

Cesium is highly radioactive, and the sensors are very sensitive.

When Iceland had the Huefaleflefthaflafla volcano outbreak, I could smell the sulphur from my house. In Norway. More than 1500 km / 900 miles across half the atlantic ocean.

So radioactive smoke being detectable 1.5 miles away makes sense to me.

No?

What?

I still want racist shits being jailed for hurting people, tho’, and there is no conflict in that.

Ok I read through it and this my best effort to rate it as you requested:

You explain your fears well.

The post is a worst-case outcome with all the dials turned to maximum, and a few more added for good measure. All catastrophic assumptions are made, while no mitigating or positive assumptions are made.

In your post “may” becomes “will” without any sources to back up the likelyhood, which I will point to as why you are not getting strong reception.

And by sources I means “this has happened here”. Not appeals to imagination.

You seem excited about a dystopia that you believe is imminent and have not shown that you understand why or what.

Yet you want other people to echo your excitement.

When handwaving doesn’t bring people aboard and they start a discussion, it upsets you instead of leading you to analyze your position.

Do better.

You should be able to do better than shifting to insults when your point is reasonably challenged.

It’s like cryptobros responding “enjoy being poor loser” when asking how their tech was intended to work.

Please summarize for me since I missed it, then. What does the video say to counter my statement that a person making public threats in public forum is old illegal not new illegal.

This case? https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c703e03w243o

Inciting violence has been illegal in most countries for ages. Publicly doing that anywhere - Facebook or otherwise - is both illegal and actionable.

There is no exciting surveillance conspiracy around someone breaking the law in a public forum.

If Wikipedia had balls

If this is your reaction to a thoughful response, you are not going to find deep discussions anywhere, even where they exist.

The Fallacy of the Beard

Get your opponent to concede a point by burdening them with defining a strict threshold. Break their claim into smaller and smaller components and keep zooming in until you are looking at such tiny things that their original claims seem overblown.

This man has a beard! Does he? Yes clearly! 20mm hair on chin!

Would he have a beard I mean an actual beard if it was 5mm? No that’s just stubble! Where does it become a beard, at 10mm? I guess!

So a man with 9mm hair has stubble? Yes! And he grows one measly millimeter of chin hair in on one of the hairs and BAM WHOA he has a beard now?

Edit: Not calling your question out as disingenuous, but trying to prevent it being abused.

It’s not about consistency. It’s about “I want therefore it is my divine right and other people aren’t valid”
