That’s the joke.

I’m not your son.

It souds like this is literally your first step outside of windows.

Don’t listen to any of these people, stick to dual boot, especially if your quality of life (I mean your hobbies) are tied to mastery of a known ecosystem of specific softwares.

Linux can work but you will need to compromise, and you will royally fuck up and unless you are embracing troubleshooting as an hobby you won’t like it.

Dual booting allows you to have a safe harbor for when things go south.

I’ve had a dual boot for around 6 years and only this year I have, not deleted windows but set up my boot to default to linux (it used to be last OS booted).

I had to give up the quality of some audio filters for streaming, I coud not for the life of me figure out how to run a couple of specific games, I’m unable to uncompress big .exe archives (yarrr) in certain specific disks and after a year of smooth daily sailing I had my drivers go nuts and had to dive in and fix it, doing research on old shitty reliable windows.

The fuck is a practicing atheist? Do they actively face nord every day at 3 pm and think really hard about how much there is no God for 3.14 minutes?

The dude was basically engaging with an Onion article. You can’t save everybody.

Since we are on the topic of missing clues, we share the same religion.

Also, assuming Christ was indeed a man that lived, we are biologically speaking cousins, just as we both are.

Checkmate fellow ateist.

You made that redundantly clear but the more the merrier.

Still literally a cousin in Christ.

Distant cousin in Christ.

To be fair unless you come from some special kind of nobility or a particoularly nomadic lineage, it’s likely most of those thousand of people were from the exact same locations.

That’s literally what it is.

My brother in Christ, you can say sex pretty much everywhere, but only on the internet you have the privilege of spelling it “secs” and witness people that think you did it for anything other than comedic effect.

As a linux noob, I am developing the spider sense of telling when a solution is something reliable and when it’s something that will fuck me up 3 months down the line.

It’s been… Interesting. I still haven’t figured out what’s the sane way to have multiple CUDA coexist peacefully…

This isn’t not rock solid

There’s a spectrum, but if I were to map all and every dark pattern, random loot surely qualifies.

If a fight is compelling it has its own reward, random drop chances (especially abysmal drop-rate) will have you mindlessly repeating it no matter the quality of the boss design.

If it was framed as a measure against possible government coordinated infiltration, sure. But that’s not the case.

Framed in this way (assuming a population completely corrupted by propaganda) it becomes a matter of responsibility, not unlike what we already faced in germany.

I believe the proper course of action, in this instance and for posterity alike, is focusing and who is knowingly engaging in propaganda, and not who is being fed a false narrative.

It’s a broad answer and it leaves very little room for proportionate retaliation, but it’s the only approach, I believe, that foster progress and rightfully frame the issue of division and conflict in a tangible cause and effect dialectic.

If we now say, “Russian has let themselves be convinced to behave like monsters, therefore we must tread them as ones”, all future wars can and will be framed in this way. If we focus and the root causes, if we condemn manipulation of information, uneven education as among the greatest, most unacceptable, criminal act, I can see a world where at the very least, if you behave like a monster that’s out of your own “disposition”.

Let me go back to the root of your ever shifting discussion:

Russia represent Russian citizens the same way the US represent US citizens.

Yes and that is not very much.

I’m not sure where and why you started going on about my personal hypocrisy toward the application of santions as the best strategy to counter Russian expansionism or how much it is agreeable as something to apply to the whole of the population.

I never said I’m willing to give up everything…

Anyway, your “arguments” boil down to a shifting grey area between, “they deserve it” and a very dispassionate “there’s no alternative”.

It’s simplistic and dangerous. I hope you are young.

Have a day.

That’s just the misanthropy leaking…
