Those words mean things. They might not make a lot of sense in the context we used them in, but they formed a thought.

6-7 isn’t even a semi complete concept on the surface of it. It’s literally devoid of any meaning at all.

Yup. I agree. I was just checking to see if that was the case.

I was certainly hoping it was, but I wanted to see what other people’s experiences have been.

Thanks for the conversation.

Oooh. That version. I forgot they called that basic 2.0

Alright.

One of us.

Also DOS. Now I’m a digital plumber, keeping the pipes and tubes of the Internet from getting backed up with all the things happening commercially.

Remember, the Internet is not something you can just dump something on, it’s not a big truck.

There was a 2.0?

TIL.

Lies and slander.

I am a system administrator and a network administrator. I abhor database management tyvm.

I was 8 when Linus posted on that Minix Usenet group about his hobby that won’t be big at all.

See, that’s what I was thinking. I’ll have to do more research, but I would think all the overhead from Windows being Windows, would kind of diminish the gap between running it natively on Windows, and using proton or something so you can run it on Linux.

The overhead on both should be fairly similar, though with how Windows is, it wouldn’t surprise me if it was slower.

Okay, real talk.

I know there’s probably 100 videos on this, but I don’t have time to watch any of them right now…

How much performance is lost/gained from using Linux to play games via proton?

I’m certain any game with a native Linux version will work great, I’m mostly concerned with the ones that need some kind of emulation layer.

I would agree that’s what people mean, but they’re completely overlooking that the problem has already been recognised, and addressed, with a solution that’s been around for decades.

It’s just that people take these modern amenities for granted, so they see them as part of the burden of doing the dishes or doing laundry, rather than relieving the burden of doing those things.

We can load up the dish washer and sit on our duff watching YouTube while a machine does the hard work. Then we just have to suffer through putting the dishes where we want them to go.

This is textbook “first world problems”. AI is only expected to solve these first world problems. By definition, these problems are less actually problems that need solving, and more inconveniences that we perceive as problems.

I’m sorry you’re going through that.

I’m just pointing this out, and I’m sure I’m not the only one who will…

We have machines to do the laundry and dishes for us already. We just have to set them up (put stuff in them) and they do the job for us.

When was the last time you saw someone get out the washing board?

Fantastic shot. You look fabulous.

No homo? I guess. I’m also in my 40s. Hello.

I don’t mean to imply your job with writing your thesis on it is easy, the proof needed would be no easy task.

But it’s hard to flip through a history book and stop on any page, and not find something on the page that’s harmful to nature.

Proving that it’s harmful would be the part that’s hard. Finding the occurrences of harm is easy.

Seems like an easy subject. Just saying.

Some of us still try to heed our neighbors.

Unfortunately that usually results in all of us, just chilling at the bottom of the pile, because while we were helping eachother, everyone else used us as stepping stones to get closer to the brim.

It certainly never died.

Over time the gap on Justice has only gotten wider. The rich will literally bankrupt someone with legal fees long before any kind of judgement can be enforced; even if they’re completely in the right, they can’t get justice because companies have enough money to throw at the problem that they can effectively ensure that any judgement against them is squashed.

Most will settle out of court at best, so that the whole experience can be over, while the rich barely need to show up for court when they’re charged with anything. Their lawyers take care of everything.

The police are just an extension of the same problem. The whole idea of police has been hostile to the common man from the start. It’s basically boiled down to, if you don’t do what you’re supposed to, then we’re going to fine you money you don’t have. When you fail to pay up, we’re going to throw you in jail.

Even if you can pay, is kept on your record and held against you for years to come. Forget getting decent employment if you’re convicted of any crime.

But the rich are barely affected by any of this. Punishments are usually a joke to them, like, they need to pay a few grand? Sure, in the time they the cop decided to do that, they probably made more money than the fine is, from their investments.

Everything is balanced towards those with money are affected the least, or completely unaffected, when they commit crimes, yet for commoners and poors, we get fucked for the rest of our lives.

This is the system. Working at intended.

I think the only way to realistically fight back is if all the tradespeople refuse to work on a foreclosed property.

It’s possible, or the land owners could simply bring in someone from out of state (or province, or whatever it is where you are)…

Unequivocally no.

We live in an era of being able to buy things, sight-unseen. In that era, there was no way for an investor to bid without physically showing up, so if they did, and aggressively outbid everyone else, then they already have a noose set up for them.

Now? People don’t need to be at the auction in person, there probably wouldn’t be an auction to begin with. The Bank would hire a real estate agent, who would pass it off to whomever makes the highest bid. Simple as that.

I’d like to think we would, as communities, as a society, but in this society is also money hungry, faceless corporations that will do whatever they can to make a dollar. There are so many layers of obfuscation between the person who is buying the property, and the person who ultimately owns it.

I just can’t see it happening with the Internet.
