it’s also really stupid considering the liberal cites are literally what MAKES Texas. There’s mass amounts of population in rural areas that just flat don’t vote. If everyone voted in TX it’s be blue as fuck.

Either way when the cities themselves lose all the workers that high paying jobs need the cities start to fall and the revenue for the state will follow.

Literal idiots that just think the oilfield will go on forever and nothing else will matter

I’ve legit never understood it’s appeal. Like what even is the purpose of it?

ubuntu is the most widely used distro and very simple to setup and gaming out of the box with steam is very simple. Distro end of the day doesn’t matter all that much because you can change them to your hearts content, but for a beginner, you’d probably have the easiest time with an ubuntu distro.

Doesn’t hurt to have virtual box windows on your linux box just so you can easily do some of that other stuff. While I have done fine with libre office for a long time there are definitely problems with formatting so having a windows VM would just solve that issue. Plus teams and w/e.

Epic games will take some serious tweaking, but not impossible.

google is also spyware… so is facebook while we’re at it and literally ANY OTHER APP YOU PUT ON YOUR PHONE. Ever notice how every single thing has an app? It’s not to make it easy for you to buy stuff from them, it’s so they can utilize your data to make them more money.

lol straight up troll bait. Also funny cause it’s probably people who “believe in freedom and the constitution” who voted in that dumb poll. Somehow we need a nanny state to take over control of the internet… FREEDOOOOMMMM

troll shit… Probably half the voters were trolls too

yeah like… WTF you gonna try to do this on a major social media site… how stupid is that shit… Go to IRC, fools.

I’v been using Ubuntu for nearing 20 years now. Maybe like 18ish… It took debian’s rock solidness and made it ez pz. It’s super easy to install and configure and runs like a dream. Has long term stable releases especially important for server architecture. Has the “server” install that is minimal on disk space.

Etc… Just really rock solid distro that I’ve run for decades and has cost me $0 to do so.

I ran red hat till all the cool kids told me it’s got to be Debian and then Ubuntu hit the scene and that was that. I’m sure Arch is fine and I’d bet had I chosen to stick with Red Hat and move to Fedora it’d also be fine. End of the day it’s still Linux.

Brands that don’t buy enough X adds you mean

lol at actual shop… Those were put out of business a LONGGGGGGGGGGGG time ago…

Shops these days are home depot, walmart, best buy, academy, etc…

Dumb take honestly. However they define heat waves may be to blame. What we are experiencing now is just the new normal where every day challenges the record high for that day.

Having the most days above 100 and seeing record drought.

Yah sure this is somehow less extreme lol.

94 degrees in the 30s was a heat wave. I’d love for it to be that “hot” lol

I love gnome Click activities, go to the screen you want, click the program you want… so simple what you are on about man.

I think the advertising it can do is a perfectly reasonable way to monetize…

Their problem is they want to be some major player and not a “right sized” organization… They want to go public and try to be billionaires and be like elon or zuck, but it’s just not going to be that.

So in their quest for GREED they’ll destroy the very thing that can make them absolute massive amounts of money. It’s crazy how many mega corps have fallen to the same fate.

They should welcome 3rd parties and any other means to see reddit and monetize the advertising… Hell they could even try to work streaming deals with NFL and NBA and whatever… Cowboys games live threads alone have caused the entire reddit website to collapse lol.

SOOO much monetization possibilities in that. And it’s charging billion dollar organizations… not the people that use the service…

Spez is not a good business man

Meanwhile in TX we are hitting record heat indexes after last year hitting “record # of days above 100” and coming off another once a century drought lol

people are so dumb it’s painful to watch. This particular guy seems to be up north. His watchers better prepare because everyone’s moving that way. Entire contitnents are going to start migrating to them sooner than we realize.

you don’t need to do anything in xorg. just run nvidia-settings and you can move the position of the monitors. It should have installed along with the drivers. If not just install it and should be good to go very common for that to happen. You also didn’t tell us what distro. You might need to go into your distro settings and make sure the monitors are configured properly as well. On ubuntu it’ll default to 60hz and you have to change the settings in there to get the full performance from your monitor. You can also change positions of the monitor in that setting space.

bruhhhhhh… 40somethings folks is what created the booming gaming industry. We can’t stop now it’ll crumble without us!!!

America’s army still has a decent amount of people playing. Mostly older folks, but there are tons of community made maps. Give it a try.

well currently in the US religion is fighting progress and religion is what half the bills in Texas that just passed were based on. Abortion is sceince, but religion is what has caused it to lose legality. Religion ignores science. Same thing going on with climate change… religion says humans aren’t doing this… Science disagrees, but here we are.

So yeah religion is the thing. not just being an asshole. It’s written into the various religions (who all think the other is wrong by the way) that this is the way to be. To deny science is the right choice of action for them.

religion is what gives them cause to act on their shitty way of thinking. It gives them an excuse that they can then go to sleep thinking they’ve done right.

Without religion society would come down so fucking hard on them for their shitty ass views… Sadly lots of people are religious so even those that don’t agree, agree that it’s against god or w/e stupid ass shit they come up with.

These areticles are 100% written by big oil. It’s quite literally propaganda. They are going so hard in the paint to try and slow down EV adoption. The IEA predicted we are going to hit peak demand by 2030. I think personally that they are way off and we’ll get there far sooner, but peak demand means terminal decline in oil demand.

It’s the beginning of the end for them and they are scared.

Random people I talk with spout out nonsense about battery fires burning down your house. It’s already getting through to a lot of people.

Hilariously gas is highly combustible and ICE car fires are sooooo freaking common you just never hear about them lol.

“those deadbeat parents should’ve got an abortion if they can’t feed their kid” --republicans probably
