I game often, and 100% on Linux. Unless you’re doing competitive multiplayer games with kernel level anti-cheat (read: rootkit malware), games run perfectly fine.

The iPhone’s auto-correct is the worst by far. And I don’t get it because it was actually good around iOS 16 or so. Since 17 it’s been utterly terrible and constantly corrects words that are already what I wanted, making them wrong.

Being wealthy just means you don’t need to overly worry about money. I’m wealthy, but I hate the system and how the world is doing.

This. I make low six figures and support myself and my spouse on a single income. We’ve had to be careful in choosing where to live, how much house to buy and all that. I’m not baller, but I’m comfortable. Amenities are fine and I pay my bills without much thought. I’m working toward retirement.

That’s a reasonable amount of wealth for most. The problem is there are people with so much wealth it provides them the means to manipulate society in sweeping gestures.

• Don’t like the news? buy the media outlet.
• Want unfairly low taxes? Bribe a politician or 50 of them. (Oh, sorry, “lobby” them)
• Politician is against you? Fully fund their opponent’s campaign and now they owe you.
• Another company competing with you? Buy them.
• etc.

Also, while insider trading is illegal, someone with this much wealth, influence, and power can’t help but have inside information just for existing in the circles they do, and wealth leads to greater wealth simply because there’s no way to regulate it reasonably.

Yeah, I use roasted peanuts and cashews, and they keep fine. Make peanut and cachew butter in two and a half cup batches in the food processor, which comes out to about half that once made into butter.

I don’t know how long it takes to go through, probably a few weeks each. I’ve never had any go bad.

It varies. Sometimes I use salted peanuts, other times plain.

I think people may not realize how easy it is. Or maybe a food processor isn’t a common item in every household. I only bought one last year, prior to that I was making peanut butter with a hand blender and that was a pain.

American here, I just make my own peanut butter in a food processor. The ingredients are: peanuts.

Works for me.

You let Trump have the entire island, he can move there and all his goons turn it into Epstein Island 2.0

A statement like this makes you sound as sociopathic as Trump. Fuck everything about this. No quarter for pedophiles.

Just sell Splinter Cell to a company that knows what the hell to do with it already.

I know you think the snark is cute or funny, but resistance is happening. Courts are ruling on things, people are protesting massively, and Minneapolis is actively resisting. Peacefully. Read your history. Peaceful protest does work.

For a general use or gaming PC, 32GB is more than enough for the majority of users. It might show its limits with use as a server or dedicated database using complex queries.

Heck, even as servers go, I’ve got an AMD mini-PC running a Ryzen 5700u with 32 GB RAM. It’s running Plex, Jellyfin, AudioBookShelf, Home Assistant, Asset UPnP, and a few other apps, plus has some small extra VMs occasionally for testing stuff and I’m hardly utilizing it, nowhere near capacity. I’m never using more than 8 out of 16 threads, and about half the RAM is still available even under full load scenarios when I’m running updates and using Plex heavily (such as scanning intros, or doing acoustic analysis for Plexamp use).

Most of the time under normal use, it’s practically idle, and RAM use is low (Proxmox with memory minimums and ballooning).

And yeah… I might be on a list now and not able to enter the USA… 🤷

Might consider that a plus these days…

I use it because I love it but no need at least not for app installing having Discover.

Didn’t you have to install that via the terminal? Discover store is not installed on EndeavourOS by default. You must have installed it and forgot.

Anyway can’t compare an arch based distro to Fedora or Ubuntu

Why not?

Depends on your distro. Maybe on Ubuntu or Mint, sure. I’m running EndeavourOS, and it’s terminal or nothing. I’m fine with that, but YMMV.

I they’re gonna take 4 years to grow, I’ll just stick with fillings.

Ryzen 5600x here, was rocking a 6700 XT but found a good deal on a RX 9070 for $540 right around when the RAM prices increased. Already have 32 GB RAM, so I’m set for a while.

Hah, guess they’re gonna have to run Linux. Windows 11 would choke on 8 GB RAM.

I’ve got a Home Assistant server hooked into homekit with voice (via an Apple HomePod). I can say something like “turn on home theater” and it will turn on the receiver, TV, and Apple TV, and will set the receiver to the Apple TV’s input.

Then, other automations. Like, I’ve got a Lytmi Fantasy 3 Pro light strip behind my TV, and when I launch video (via streaming, plex, whatever) on the Apple TV, it will automatically turn off the living room lights except for the color strip. Then if I stop or pause the video, it will turn them back on. Stuff like that.

Only drawback is the TV doesn’t do wake on LAN unless you use the ethernet connection. If you want it wireless, you gotta use CEC instead, but that’s not too big a deal.
