    At least I get to find out why the spyware doesn’t work… and fix it 💪.

    On the other hand, I have a hard time explaining to my family why shit in my computer constantly doesn’t work… or I’m in the process of fixing it 😂.

      If there are any car guys in the family, simply tell them it’s sorta like that. Tinkering is a totally valid hobby, but older people have an easier time understanding it with cars (because cars have been around longer, mostly :P)

        Oh, they’ve kinda gotten used to it by now 😂. At least that’s what I think… they do avoid my computer though, so that’s a plus, I guess 😂.

        Or you start fixing something, and you find 3 other problems, not related to the one you started fixing 😂. You just didn’t know about them cuz you usually don’t use libfoo for the thing you currently need 😂.

        It’s like going to the doctor for a checkup and finding out you have diabetes 😂… I mean… it’s not good, but better now than later, right 🤷 😂.

    I use Linux because I like to know that if my computer doesn’t do what I want, it’s my own damn fault (and not some corporation trying to screw me over).

      I use Linux because when I encounter an issue there are numerous helpful forum posts and KB articles that cover it, even for really uncommon glitches. Whereas on Windows for even slightly obtuse errors, you just get the same base-level troubleshooting suggestions and AI listicles. Windows obscures actual useful information from end users which makes troubleshooting issues harder.

    Stuff like this used to bother me too and I have gradually realized that Linux logs pretty much everything. It really will tell you exactly what’s wrong if you know where to look.

    I’m no artist, but couldn’t Xenia have a white outline around her black arms/hands so they can be seen better against dark backgrounds?

      As an Amateur Artist (my pfp was drawn by me) – You are correct. Though in this particular picture I have no trouble telling her shape from the background objects.

      Addendum: In cartoon art, generally, black fills are avoided. Instead you use very dark grey for black things, so as to keep the (black) outline distinct. Other artstyles have other ways of doing stuff.

    Man I really wonder what the venn diagram of Linux users/furries are. But I’m thinking it might be a circle within a circle kinda thing.

    Me after I spent a whole evening being unable to boot into grub after trying to get Wayland to work. Wayland will have to wait for a bit longer…

        Yuppers. I need CUDA for my machine learning projects, both for hobby and professionally. I considered AMD and their alternative at the time, but it wasn’t supported on their consumer cards back then, and I also didn’t fully trust their commitment. It’s getting better though, so hopefully AMD can convince me for my next GPU in a few years.

            Proprietary NVidia API for paralell computation.

            Very useful for Machine Learning stuff. And for Crypto though that has fallen out of fashion nowadays.

            Basically if you’re doing a fuck-ton of math and want it to happen very fast, you want to use a GPU to do it (GPUs are literally made for that – That this helps them draw video games is a happy consequence), and NVidia’s CUDA tech makes it… Easier? Faster? Not sure what the proper difference is, but yeah.

    When I see these kind of posts I can’t help but think that maybe they’re being made by people who could be astroturfing for another company and it’s OS, in a negative way, to redirect the narrative.
