We have a bookstore (Waterstones) open until 22:00 near me.

Syndicate wars. I think they was cyberpunk.

Can we have one mention of windows or macOS without someone coming shilling Linux all smug and superior?

I’m extremely tech savvy, a software engineer and nerd of decades, so I got sick of seeing all the Linux stuff and decided to wipe windows last week.

Installed fedora, set up networking and then the Nvidia Proprietary drivers and did whatever it needed to do with secure boot.

Powered off and on and boom no network connectivity at all and not sure what happened.

Suffice to say it piqued my inner nerd and I’ll put hours into setting this up again as it’s fun, I’ve gone Arch btw, but let’s not pretend that the average user is going to have an easier experience than they would on windows or Mac.

So you’re saying you lie to try and change reality or present it in a different way?

That’s horrible and I certainly don’t subscribe to this mentality. I will discuss things with people with an open mind and a willingness to change positions if presented with new information.

We are not arguing out of some tribal belief, we have our morals and we will constantly test them to try and be better humans for our fellow humans.

And that’s perfectly fine, life would be dull if we all liked and disliked the same things.

Yeah OP said they had a late shower that night which get my mind out of the gutter.

You and I know that, but just in case they’re listening.

Thanks for the answer.

I find it fascinating to graph things like this and the trends you can notice. Which further highlights how big corporations are able to make insane predications because of the sheer number of data points they have.

What caused the massive spike in humidity in the bedroom shortly before midnight?

My mind went to a dirty place is all I’m saying.

Any idea the area based on the phone number?

Not American so not sure how your area codes work and I can’t remember the Ludacris tune about hoes in different area codes.

Cat subtypes:

• Asshole
• Not asshole.

Ey r rkid there ain’t no need for that you muppet

• This Manc.

Buy me those items and I’ll dress like that. Send the receipts too please.

Which isn’t specifically about sleep or anything.

I believe it means God willing.

Mashallah is similar and means something like God willed it (made it happen).

No problem.

Apologies if my comments came across as confrontational, my intention was to give my perspective on how yours were received.

I know it isn’t often easy to come back and say sorry and take an introspective look and anybody that does that gets my respect 100% of the time.

Sure, everyone is downvoting you but you can’t be the constant here and it must be this entire community.

Perhaps someone more eloquent than me can come along and explain why your approach fell on deaf ears.

I don’t think that’s the response they were after.

You could have tried something like:

I can appreciate you’re tired and I think we’re all a little exhausted after this election cycle. I am definitely interested in learning your perspective on this and opening myself up to other viewpoints.

See I acknowledged OPs comment and tried to explain my motivations for the question. You, on the other hand, you called them out for rightfully wanting to value their time.

So I actually did it and wiped my Windows PC, nothing on there I needed to keep.

Set up Fedora and added the Nvidia Drivers.

Shut down for a few days and in my next boot I downloaded CoolerControl. Then my networking died and I’m at a loss as to what happened.

And people said it was just the same as using windows, yet me a massive nerd, software developer was stuck without ever having attempted to play games.
