I have a new religion!

Prometheus didn’t gift us fire and cognition. Lies. We are Prometheus’s curse on the universe. Nothing more than a plague on the gods creation, concocted for some slight we can never understand. The sum of us, brought into being, then tossed into the void and forgotten. To spread like an oil stain across creation.

I think that’s what a lot of people miss is the trade/political aspect of schism. While I’m sure millions held genuine beliefs, it’s hard to understate the economic reality of the church in those days. Huge land holdings, an ancient web of power and obligations reaching into every life, every transaction, every political appointment. When it became conceivable to break with this system, it was broken. This breaking was Consequential. Hence the centuries of warfare and strife. It’s all about that money honey.

Lol, I was just thinking this would be a problem for about 5 min before some asshole shot at it. I always thought it was hilarious when people talked about delivery drones.

Mint is the basic bitch of distros. Sure she shows up in fugly ugs, leggings, gripping a pumpkin spice drank. But she shows up! Works hard. That girl fucks! Make no mistake, basic bitches make the world go round.

Mint is the shit!

This is what stops me from leaping to phone Foss.

I used to live in that region. She’ll do some jail, maybe even prison, depending on priors and exactly what went down, but not 30yrs. Just asshole cops making the most out of what they got. No judge will let that shit fly. Maybe in Alabama but not MN.

Deep impact is a great movie! Directed by Mimi Leder. She also directed The Peacemaker, a great 90’s adventure movie with George Clooney and Nichole Kidman. If you’re into that sort of thing.

I never got the dune hype either, book or movie. The latest was fun to watch on the big screen, and the 80’s make is awesomely 80’s in all its 80’s terribleness. But over all it gets a meh from me. And I’m a huge SF nerd.

She’s all around awesome. Always helped people, always gives back. Always been kind. And a certified rock star! I have no tattoos, never seen the allure. But if I woke up with Dolly’s face tattooed I wouldn’t even be angry.

I just watched this movie last night! Seriously one of the coolest pieces of Cinema ever made!

Damn commies should be rich as Crassus by now!

I run mint on my “home entertainment center”. Just an old laptop with a wireless mouse and keyboard.

Granted I don’t use it for much, but once I had mint on it, I’ve only used the desktop environment. Mostly because I’m leaning back in a slothful, shameful lump, and this is not conducive to typing. So I spend way too long pecking at things with the mouse.

Pain in the ass? Yes.

Way more tedious and time consuming? Yes

Possible? Also yes

Such a helpful kitty!

I just switched using mint as my new OS. It was so easy. My computer runs so much quicker now. All my steam games just work. Feel free to DM me if you need any pointers!

It is neater and faster but people cannot read it nor reciprocate. It used to be more or less universal. I like it and use it, but won’t if what’s being written is for the public.

When I was young my teacher said “If you want to be taken seriously you must use cursive!” She also said I’d never have a calculator in my pocket when I needed it, so there’s that.

Ty!

sam@sam-ROG-Strix-G531GT-GL531GT:~$ prime-run glxinfo | grep i vendor grep: vendor: No such file or directory

prime-run: command not found

this seems to imply it ll switch the gpu on or off depending on load

glxinfo | grep -i vendor server glx vendor string: SGI client glx vendor string: Mesa Project and SGI Vendor: Intel (0x8086) OpenGL vendor string: Intel

so this means im using my proccesor and not gpu to render shite?

Probably a day late and a dollar short but here:

I was having issues until I turned secure boot off. I also have to have two graphical drivers running.
