recently dealt with an issue at my parents house where whenever they connected the TV to the wifi, half the devices in the house would lose connection. turns out there was an instability in the Comcast router firmware and whenever the TV would connect it would crash everything else on the 2.4ghz frequency.

solution was to replace the router with one they owned instead of whatever crap they were leasing from Comcast.

right!! I came across this article at some point a year or two back, and it’s kinda lived rent free in my head since then lmao

it’s also just a reaction to sexually transmitted epidemics, interestingly enough.

most likely the last one. especially in computer science, there’s always a lot of people who sorta understand and just want to be included. that’s why most computer science memes are “JavaScript bad” or “python slow” or other super basic mass opinions. I feel like it’s super rare I see an actually original computer science meme

and 8gb ssd? at that size it’s surely a removable 2242 ngff drive, it’s like 10$ for a 64gb one. you’re quite literally throttling your systems read/write speed, cause ssds want at least 20% free to manipulate files.

I thought htop was everything I needed till I switched and saw the light

you don’t get to decide which words marginalized groups reclaim

why the hell would anyone be offended by a black person saying the n word

your neighbor may not have individual power, but his statements still carry more weight than the opposite. there’s a reason (most) white people would never dream of saying the n word, and that there’s no equivalent for the other way around, and it’s because there’s an inherent power dynamic baked into that word and its origins

where did I say that’s ok either? it’s not, and will never be. but it’s still not racism.

where did you gain that I thought racism was ok from that? I’m merely pointing out that it’s a false equivalency

racism requires a power structure to be historically against the oppressed. you cannot be racist against white people. you can be prejudiced, and I suppose you could make some argument that the above is prejudiced if you tried really hard, but calling it racism disregards the basis of what racism is

edit: for people down voting, please go read some books, take a class from your local community college, or just talk to your neighbors. this statement isn’t meant to be decisive, nor would it be in any race and diversity class.

certain periods of time in Middle Earth could suck a little bit. I’d love to hang out in valinor during the years of the trees tho.

have you tried bottles? I’ve great luck with using it for windows only software and it’s way more user friendly than wine by itself.
