Ya, I even wrote into a Linux podcast like 7 years ago making this exact prediction. It’s not new.

I think they just borked some store check code somewhere.

The fact that this is even possible just demonstrates how broken Windows is fundamentally.

I don’t think it’s so black and white.

Legal Eagle did a video about this. Ultimately an American soldier is liable for carrying out illegal orders. Refusing illegal orders is extremely complicated, but carrying them out is still illegal and they are subject to the law. It doesn’t matter if they were “just following orders”.

Edit: spelling

I thought they all signed up for ICE?

Interesting. I wonder how many of them are the ones deployed to the streets.

Are we talking about “people who do things that ICE is criticized for”? No.

I literally said:

It just occurred to me that I don’t think I’ve seen a photo of a single brown, black, or Asian ICE agent. They’re all white, aren’t they?

I didn’t say “no US agency has non-white individuals”.

My comment was specifically referring to ICE agents, and the context was specifically about the ones out and about creating chaos in the streets.

Those aren’t ICE agents, they’re Border Patrol which is part of CBP. I’m not even American and even I know this.

Without “App” though, that slipped through because someone wrote “the Microsoft 365 Copilot app”

That makes it semi-official. If Microslop put that on their official website for the product, that makes it official to a degree.

They did not fucking rename Microsoft Office.

Well, you’re half right, except Microsoft did rename Office years ago to “Microsoft 365”.

Edit: ignore the “Microslop” spelling. I have a uBlock filter enabled.

I was in China in 2011, at the height of their “Golden Age”. It really is an amazing place culturally. And the natural parts that are maintained are beautiful.

But I don’t think I’ll ever go back, the political climate is way too sketchy and I don’t see it getting better any time soon.

Microsoft 365 Copilot App

That’s the official name

Trees are free rope?

My fervent hope is that, someday in the future, people can build a gaming PC and just forego Windows to save $100.

That’s what you said. And I’m not even sure what you mean by “I ment who build a custom PC. That’s reality bro.”

The reality is that a good portion of gamers either build their own systems or buy “custom built” systems from a company that builds them. It’s mainly only OEM manufacturers that include a Windows license, like HP, Lenovo, MSI, and generally laptops.

So ultimately there’s no scenario where your comment makes sense.

So you’re telling me that someone who builds a custom PC with the intention of installing Linux will go out and buy a Windows license?

Really? Have any photos?

Go with Bazzite. It’s built off of Bluefin which is an atomic version of Fedora.

Bazzite has all the accoutrements for gaming built into it.

Go with Mint, Pop!_Os, or Bazzite.

Ubuntu is only really a good choice if you want corporate/business level support. And even then there are other options.

I recently poked around online to see if my rtx5070ti would be supported and found a bunch of people facing issues, and that Mint and Ubuntu weren’t recommended.

No idea what you could have been reading, but by and large, there’s very little difference between distros when it comes to GPU drivers.

However, if you want the smoothest experience, then just use a distro that comes with drivers that install with the OS. Best one I can recommend is Bazzite. You won’t have to mess around with GPU drivers at all and it doesn’t matter which Nvidia card you have, they all use the exact same drivers.

Works like a beauty

Not really, but kinda. The Spaniards came over, met the Mayans, and together they became Mexicans. (No, I’m not being completely serious)

The reality is that the lines between ethnicities are very muddy and blurry and in the end makes ZERO sense to box everyone into those containers.
