leftists think murder is great.

I only ever see a "dead pedophiles don't reoffend" sticker on the same vehicle that has an "elect pedophiles" sticker. (There are two different vehicles like this that I know of in my county, one of which I regularly see on my commute. And that's just what I've seen with my own eyes.) Reich wingers think both murder and child rape are great.

Moderation on slashdot feels like it's being manipulated by bots whose goal is to protect certain stock prices, like whole classes of them in some cases, or specific companies in others, based on what's otherwise inexplicable moderation. It's difficult to separate this from the just pure trolling moderation but this is still my perception. If you criticize e.g. AI or cryptocurrency the chances of a downmod go way up.

muhammad is the ultimate pedo supporter and child rapist enabler. But you have no problem supporting that...

No one familiar with me would say that, because of the things I've said about Islam and Mohammad here in the past. You've just completely destroyed all of the child rape support you were working for.

or paranoia, take your pick, but if it is a question of stargazing or crime, crime will win out. Always.

That's a hilarious idea. We don't actually care about crime. For example wage theft exceeds all other theft combined but we spend much more effort on other types because people are fucking stupid and don't demand it... because again, they don't actually care about crime enough to even know that.

They keep making changes I don't like, I'm not paying for them to make it worse. If I could pay only for them to make it better somehow I would do that. The performance is fine, the memory use is fine, the reliability is fine, but I really hate everything they are doing around them. If they would sell me the browser I want without all that crap done to it then I would pay for that. Otherwise it's a hard hell no.

The point of the electoral college and the Senate is to keep the cities from running roughshod over the countryside.

Instead, the evangelicals ran roughshod over democracy.

By the way, make sure you really understand the difference between an oligarchy and a plutocracy.

Plutocracy is just a wealth-based oligarchy, but I don't believe in a pure anything. There are lots of kinds of power.

But that is mostly caused by NVidia's lackluster (yes, I know they are improving somewhat, but still) driver support in Linux.

I had to dick around with config files again with the recent driver "improvements" to make suspend work (I had to fiddle with persistenced) so yeah, I agree that Nvidia drivers for Linux do suck, but I don't think that's the primary thing keeping Windows going. I would lean on the following two words: Inertia, and Anticompetitive. Write your own story, it's pretty obvious by now.

Not even good ones or modern GPUs, but GPUs you would expect the kernel to support for several years already.

I don't want to poop on Nouveau, but it's just not useful. It's not their fault, as they are mostly pooped on by Nvidia. IME closed Nvidia drivers are better than closed AMD drivers, but the open AMD drivers are very good.

Sure, there are "gaming"-distros and the main distros (+ derivatives) might work ok-ish with NVidia GPUs, I'm already aware.

In fact I now have my 4060 Ti working very well with Devuan with root on ZFS and kernel 7.1.8... but it's been a PITA. I've heard something about Steam going fully 64 bit but I might still be using non-WOW Wine, so I might still need 32 bit libraries for other things. I mention this because I do not use packages for Nvidia drivers, I install them (and CUDA) from the runfile. This works flawlessly on Debian et al, and also solves the problem of the driver packages conflicting with multiarch.

(If anyone is curious, putting options nvidia NVreg_PreserveVideoMemoryAllocations=1 NVreg_TemporaryFilePath=/someplace/persistent into /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia.conf fixed my sleep problem. There were some other steps, but they were system-specific.)

This is the first time I have regretted getting Nvidia graphics. CUDA is still great, though.
