  • The lobbying must be intense.

    The Sackler family, the shitbags most directly responsible for the opioid epidemic in the US, were handed a sweetheart settlement deal where they had to hand over a small percentage of their multi-billion dollar fortunes and in return they were SHIELDED FROM PROSECUTION on any related charges or civil suits.

    Luckily even our shitbag Supreme Court could see what utter scumfuck horseshit that was and tossed the deal out the window and into a garbage bin where it belonged.


  • Fucking any of them. Seriously. It doesn’t really matter. Eventually you’ll come to the realization that until you’re talking about oddball shit designed for one douchebag’s personal proclivities it’s all the same shit under the hood. They just have fourteen incompatible package managers because, again, douchebag personal proclivities.




  • Just using the information you have posted publicly in various places someone that has access to the right sources could pick your rather unique mobile device out of a haystack with very little issue. Doing so would give them location data that, combined with a number of hobbies you mention, would give them a reasonable assumption of a few different places you could be found in a given area. From that point it’s down to either obtaining surveillance video or, more readily, just trawling the background of photos that are tagged with that location and using physical descriptors you’ve used to determine which individual is you.

    And from there it’s just a matter of tracing other appearances you made in other people’s photos and surveillance video.

    They already have you, whether you want them to or not.







    • K. Have fun.
    • Yes, LibreOffice works fine. Now save that document and send it over to the attorney for approval. Wait for the email telling you it’s broken and shit because they’re using Office and LibreOffice still has problems export to different file formats. Interoperability is the issue. Google Docs is not an answer for anything.
    • So between this and the previous one you’re basically saying that advanced USERS need not apply to Linux, right?
    • Then why the fuck is every dick with an ISO telling me that Linux can be installed on any old hardware I have laying around?

    This is the problem with Linux in general. Such a huge portion of the user base are elitist pricks. “Well just buy the RIGHT hardware.” Nah mate, I can’t be arsed to buy a new motherboard with a wifi chip that’s supported by this OS. I’ve already bought the audio interface. That scanner was a gift. The printer was a deal. It goes on.


  • I would jizz through the roof if they did that. I have repetitive stress injuries that massively limit my gaming and the touchpads are a godsend in first person games. I set it up to act like a trackball with inertia so instead of holding a direction to turn I could just flick that way and “catch” it when it got to the right spot. Seems like a PITA but after about five minutes you completely forget it was ever weird.

    Mix that in with the motion control and you can get really accurate shooting.

    When I had a Deck I set it up the same way and… yeah, perfection. Just chop the middle out of the Deck and give it to me, baby. Uh huh. Uh huh.





    • What ProtonDB says and what reality is differ quite a lot.
    • “Well you shouldn’t do that because I said so.” Irrelevant response.
    • Yes, there are numerous jank plugins that all half-work. CMYK support is only the tip of the iceberg and it’s enough to exclude GIMP from entire industries. I do not know why people keep mentioning Krita in the same breath as GIMP, given that it’s fully cross-platform and is specifically geared towards illustration. I can use it on Windows or Mac just as easy as Linux. That’s not a selling point for Linux, it’s an example of why Linux isn’t really needed in a given area.
    • I’m sorry, I thought we were talking about the average user here. That’s what people keep telling me in other responses. Since when did the command line matter to average users?
    • Well, you know, maybe if Windows was more popular Sony would make a driver for it. This excuse works for hardware that doesn’t work in Linux, so same should apply there.
