Nobody wants to steal your noisy shit machine.

Yeah, if this kind of thing happens to someone often enough that they deem it worthy to make a low effort meme about it, they’re the kind of person who obliviously holds up traffic everywhere they go.

Libre (from French) is sometimes used to solve the ambiguity of the word free in the English language, but it sounds kinda awkward in English and there’s certainly no consensus that this should be the official replacement, or that the term free even needs replacement.

Furthermore, the FSF who originally came up with the idea of “free software” still exists and is still called the Free Software Foundation, though Stallman uses both terms interchangeably.

They don’t have nukes as such. They are prepositioned US owned nukes that remain under the custody of the USAF. The part of the base where the nukes are stored is strictly off limits to local personnel.

What makes them “shared”, is that they are intended to be dropped by planes owned by the host country, and both the government of the host country as well as the US government need to give their authorization to activate and use them.

So you may as well just consider them as US nukes.

Free as in freedom, not as in free beer.

That’s not necessarily the fault of systemd.

No, but the error being hard to debug, and not being able to cancel the timeout as it’s occurring, is though.

Anyway that is been fixed on modern systems

No, I’ve had it happen more recently (I wanna say less than a month ago) with network mounts and random systemd controlled desktop processes that refuse to die.

But I wouldnt turn it on and actually play with it even if I could because I will always take the better performance.

Depends. In Cyberpunk I can get 90-100fps on 1440p on ultra with raytracing on and FSR4 Quality (via Optiscaler). That is a very good experience IMO, to the point that I forget about “framerate” while playing.

That’s Windows though, in Linux the raytracing performance is rather worse for some reason and it slips below the threshold of what I find noticeable, so I go for 1440p native.

bit better RT performance about which I couldn’t care less about.

Yeah raytracing is not really relevant on these cards, the performance hit is just too great.

The RX 9070 XT is the first AMD GPU where you can consider turning it on.

bitcoin mining

That’s a thing of the past, not profitable anymore unless you use ASIC miners. Some people still GPU mine it on niche coins, but it’s nowhere near the scale as it was during the bitcoin and ethereum craze a few years ago.

AI is driving up prices or rather, it’s reducing availability, which then translates into higher prices.

Another thing is that board manufacturers, distributors and retailers have figured out that they can jack up GPU prices above MSRP and enough suckers will still buy them. They’ll sell less volume but they’ll make more profit per unit.

They could be. There are two alternatives.

And I could be the Queen of Holland or I could be not. There are two alternatives.

I assumed the former

You kneejerked, that’s what you did.

Crazy how triggered (and removed) they are. Even got one who, rather than admitting he was wrong, doubled down arguing that the GDR was a USSR member state. For some reason that was important to his “argument”.

The GDR was a member state of the USSR. And the dissolution of the GDR happened under Gorbachev, in a manner that did respect the public’s rights.

The GDR is the German Democratic Republic, also known as East Germany.

It was a communist country, a member of the Warsaw pact, and aligned with the USSR, but it was not a member state of the USSR.

its coming at the expense of your expressed understanding of history

See above.

Is OP saying “support Israël instead” ?

What? Do you believe everyone in a country has identical political views?

You’re a bit dim aren’t you? The parent post that I replied to claimed that Gorbachev was a traitor who went against the will of the people, I said the USSR wasn’t wel known for respecting the will of the people in the first place, and here you are giving an example of when the USSR actually did respect the will of the people … when Gorbachev was in power.

So my conclusion is that Gorbachev must exist in a state of superposition, where he is both things at once.

The GDR was a member of the USSR.

What does the G in GDR stand for?

Gorbachev

Ah Schrödinger’s Gorbachev, both a great respector of the will of the people, as well a traitor who went against the will of the people.

However, its the GDR Communist Chairman Erich Honecker that ultimately changed policy that resulted in reunification.

Then why did you comment on a post that was about the USSR?

dissolved the USSR against the will of the people Russians

Seems to be just about everybody wanted to leave the USSR.

Excuse me, I have a question. Who was the leader of the USSR when this happened?

Yes, the USSR, famous for respecting the will of the people …

Tankies are going to hate this comment.
