Just now. I was reading this thread and grinning at other people’s misfortune so my wife decided I should join them and bit me 😵

Is it just me or does he have a bit of a Mitch McConnell look?

Eeeeeeeyup!

I agree with your last sentiment too. Warren Buffett said the memories he made in his house are worth way more than the money he lost by not investing it. We’re thinking of buying for the same reason.

…ish. My wife and I just did this calculation and (at least in America) property taxes throw a wrench into it.

A decent rental home in Texas costs about $2650 per month. A similar house costs about $460k to buy, and run about $1000/mo in taxes. So you’ll only save about $1650 per month.

Even putting that 460k into a bank account at 4.5% interest will give you $1725/mo, let alone stocks, index funds, and all the other investments you could be doing that will out-perform real estate.

Of course, that doesn’t disprove your point about poverty since you need to have the money to buy/invest. But it’s just a reminder that houses are not the wealth builder that a lot of people imagine them to be.

Always research and determine the best option for your financial situation. Gate-keeping financial literacy is another tool the wealthy use to keep people in poverty.

Did you even say no homo first?

What is gay underwear? Like a specific brand?

As someone who’s currently wrangling with so much C++ specific issues to try and make just one bloody contribution to KDE, this comment hits too close to home.

What a stupid, stupid reason to have to live through another Trump presidency and continue the war unchanged.

You have a link handy?

You can just run yay with no arguments and it does exactly what your update script does.

Their reasoning was that X11 network transparency had been broken for quite some time. If you tried running chrome, most games, or anything with modern hardware acceleration over X11 forwarding, they wouldn’t work.

So, IMHO waypipe is actually an improvement in terms of compatibility, rather than a regression.

O_o they lost?

I didn’t follow it till the end but I thought they were kicking his ass

IIRC it wasn’t legal action from Nvidia, but rather AMD pulling the funding that killed ZLUDA.

I mean, their official discourse forums have a fair bit of documentation.

But Bazzite’s goal is to make things work so that people can spend their time playing their games instead of reading documentation.

That depends on what your use case is. If you’re after gaming, I’d recommend Bazzite
