Does Incus support things like Kernel Samepage Merging? How does it handle Windows VMs? Does the WebUI give a nice and easy novnc window that just works?

Pedophiles arguing why they like this niche anime just a little too much…

I’ll appeal to whatever I think is gonna keep your ass alive.

I’m going to tell you that people who try to commit suicide often end up unable to use their own facilities, and wind up trapped in a wheelchair unable to move or talk or care for themselves - so even if they still want to kill themselves, they’re trapped forever in hell until they die of old age instead. (Appeal to the chance you’ll fuck up)

I’m going to tell you of all the people you will hurt, and all the things that will suffer when you’re gone. (Appeal to Emotion, Appeal to disappointing others, etc)

I’m going to tell you that you’re loved, I’m going to try to stop you. Life is a wonderful, fantastical lottery that you’ve somehow managed to win, and I’m not going to let you throw it away. (Threats if I have to…)

I will use every fallacy in the book to try and keep you here with us. Alive.

Really wish they transitioned to a “Not-for-profit” structure, rather than non-profit. Non-profits can still be profit driven, sadly.

People aren’t idiots. If they don’t know what it means they can look it up or ask for help.

Flip that. People are idiots. If they don’t know what something means, they won’t look it up. Not Desktop Linux users today but, definitely normies if Linux ever comes on a system they buy in the future.

Isn’t this basically the exact thing that happened with the “mouse utopia” project?

They made a good example - BlueZ software stack sucks; if Fluoride can be put under a compatible open source license, I’d much rather us use better subsystems in 100% userspace. That’s a win for everyone.

“But muh family and fwiends use it!” or “I have an autistic cousin twice removed so I can’t stop because it’s the only thing he’ll use!”

Any excuse to keep huffing that copium.

80% on Tier 3 or lower for Proton Click Play. That’s not a small number. That means a majority of games, have bugs, crashing issues, things that cause them to be unplayable or glitchy…

So I repeat…

A lot of good those benchmarks do when only 20% of the games are playable to the same degree…

Great, you have success with it. But your anecdotal evidence does not make a solid claim to base things upon.

From a benchmark perspective this has shown to be false in some or many areas.

A great lot of good those benchmarks are going to to when your game doesn’t run AT ALL. This is such a non-argument it’s not even funny at this point.

It’s great to be an open source advocate, but this argument crosses the line into zealotry. It has very little basis in the reality of things.

Do I want Microsoft to die a quick and painful death? Absolutely. Is Linux the superior choice in all situations – absolutely not.

I mean, just stop being offended over that kind of shit constantly and I won’t have to worry about it. Stop calling people intolerant when they use the wrong name. Stop attacking the people who are trying to learn, and maybe they will.

Normal, people don’t get offended if you forget their name. You need a set of rules that follows the stereotype. Then people can learn the stereotypical rules, and be fine.

If that number were 15% or so I’d agree.

So if they exist on OSX, then Windows doesn’t have a bastion on them.

Did you miss the qualifier “that uses explosive charges”? The engineering challenge is in the explosive part.

This is wrong on so many levels.

Use whatever works for you. Linux can be a pain in the ass sometimes. If your moral fiber isn’t strong enough to override your need for sanity, sometimes you just need to use what has the path of least resistance.

If you’re using it mostly for gaming, Windows is going to be the superior choice. Microsoft has just simply ensured that lock-in. Things are certainly changing, thanks to Valve; but don’t feel afraid to try Linux out without dumping your whole life into it. Get a SBC (Single board computer) and run some Linux services on it - IRC bouncers, mail servers, buy a domain name and practice reverse proxies, virtual machines, etc.

There is room for both…until you’ve decided that Microsoft has stepped over that line you’ve drawn in the sand; then you can convince yourself to dive headlong into Linux full-time.

Regardless, Linux has already won. It runs the internet. It runs near every network device you own. You probably even have Linux running on something you had no idea was running it; Cameras, lower levels of consumer devices, etc. If the only bastion that Windows still has is Gaming…I think we’re doing pretty good.

Projectiles are a part of human nature. We’ve always thrown spears, rocks, etc – firearms are just an extension of our better understanding of the world. I know of barely anything else that uses explosive charges that is as widely applicable to the general public. Roofing nail guns? But that’s such a niche subject, it’s not something people are really worried about trying to make with 3D printing. Believe me, if I had a better engineering challenge for 3D printing, I’d be suggesting it. But nothing quite hits like containing an explosive charge, and utilizing the energy in a way that performs work without destroying itself.

I used to run the 3D printing community on G+ at around 500k strong, (about 10k weekly active users according to Google’s stats) and I ended up actually pissing off a lot of my European users because of this. My viewpoint on it, was as an engineering exercise – it’s an amazing thing. It’s not advocating for guns, and guns aren’t only used to kill other people. So I stood up for the guys posting about their engineering challenges, and their work making 3D printed parts for a machine with high impact loads and loads of cycling issues.

Unfortunately, it lost me some friends, like Gina Haubage and Tomas Sanladerer – as they disagreed highly; and wanted to ban anyone posting firearms related 3D printing content.

I don’t need to understand individuals to respect them, but I do feel the need to understand people as a whole.

No, because for others to understand it, it must follow some sort of logic.

If people all have different rules for what offends them, then those willing to learn, can never hope to ever achieve understanding. If you can never allow others to achieve understanding, then you’re always going to be a victim and acceptance will never be achieved.

If you can’t deadname a transgender woman their male name, then it goes to follow that they wouldn’t consider themselves a “father” and doing so would cause the same offense.
