Imagine being here years and being new to the community, must be a real strong imposter syndrome

Honestly i never had a problem with Firefox RAM usage until ~5 years ago, not sure if i was just a weird use case or what

Tabmix Plus users rise up

It’s a big club, and you ain’t in it. And the whole club is on the list.

If you have Gemini installed, and if you’re running Google Android, then yeah, you never were in control of your phone anyway

Once they open these stores, absolutely everyone will buy their groceries from Shady Joe’s Discount Foods of Unstated Origin! Especially the people who can afford food from private stores.

This is true of many games even on non-game-optimized Linux distros. Windows’ bulky driver stack and windowing has long been catching up to itself

I’m on Fedora - Nvidia drivers used to be an issue for me some years back, but since then it’s all automatic, I haven’t even thought about drivers since buying my 3060.

So it’s even worse than just being react native, it’s even more things

I’m quick to think this is an issue of bad educational standard mixed with confused terminology. Computer science is a very theoretical subject with very few directly practical applications. It’s like studying pure math and expecting to be a qualified engineer - you can technically do the numbers, but have no idea about the practicality.

I’ve never met a person with a computer science degree who was skilled at operating a computer, never mind practical coding. And I’ve met many. Most of them expected something very different from what they actually learned.

Artists could see AI art and be like “Weird and interesting.” And then continue living an unthreatened high standard of life without having to worry about it.

Simpsons references alone are how I still make half my friendships today. I don’t know how to communicate if not through shared media

Want to get out the frying pan? Well why not try getting out into the fire?

Installing dual boot over a default windows installation would be tricky, bordering on infeasible. Because you would need to shrink the windows partition live (which is not supported (and even if you could, requires free space and comes with meaningful risk of data loss)) and alter the UEFI boot entries, which is also very risky and engineered to be protected from unauthorised writes.

Even if you got around all those limitations, Windows can constantly erase your Linux boot entries (thanks Microsoft), making a dual boot-on-one disk setup basically unusable every month which needs to be fixed. So thanks to this Windows behavior, this setup won’t work on many systems.

So you’ll pretty much only ever be able to install to another disk. And the portion of non-tech savvy users with a spare, unused disk is going to be effectively nonexistent.

Don’t get me wrong, an install-from-windows feature would be nice, but I don’t think it could feasibly overcome any meaningful barriers.

Well I don’t know who the director is, nor would I have. I do realise gothic horror in general is often about sexual repression, but a lot of the film’s use of it just felt unnecessary.

Maybe the intended audience are more au fait with the director, then? I’unno

I’m unsure what your experience is, but mine is in complete contradiction to this. I’ve taken direct trains from one end of Europe to the other. I don’t know what your second map represents, but it’s not direct train lines.

I’ve personally taken direct trains from London to Germany (some of those trains go on past Germany) and London to Italy. How they handle the electrification etc I don’t know, but I’ve never noticed an issue or had to transfer between internationals.

Most of my train rides have been cheaper or similar price to flying once you factor in local train travel too, and exceedingly nicer and easier. You very rarely even notice crossing the borders, which is a fun aspect.

My bugbear was always “Well the world isn’t fair”.

Then do your part and help make it fair. Or at least concede the point I’m suffering needlessly. What kind of unempathetic shit is that response

I could simply be a philistine when it comes to gothic horror, but I just really did not like the movie. It was pretty faithful to the original, but with tons of extra bloody and sexual violence/ grossness added on for no reason I could see, other than to be like “oh no how shocking”.

I know it’s meant to be disgusting, but it felt very mindlessly so. No symbolism or metaphor, and I certainly didn’t notice any plot relevance to any of it. Like a complete story was already written, then they went “let’s stick on some more gore and gross stuff for kicks” (which I guess is sort of literally what happened).

It was very cinematic. Technically impressive for sure. The bit I did really enjoy was the first arrival at Nosferatu’s digs and all the shadowy movement and atmosphere. It made him seem very demonic and inhuman, almost Hellsing Alucard-like.

Again, it may very likely just not be my kind of movie
