  • Yeah, sure.

    You sound like one of those people who are the reason why we find the following warning on microwave ovens:

    WARNING: DO NOT TRY TO DRY PETS IN THIS DEVICE.

    And on plastic bags:

    WARNING: DO NOT PLACE OVER HEAD.

    We both know that this is not what it’s for. And it (model S) has never been cleared ANYWHERE ON THIS GLOBE as an autonomous vehicle.

    (Adaptive with lane assist and collision detection) Cruise control/autopilot on, foot on accelerator, no eyes on the road, no hands on the steering wheel. That’s malice. There where visible, audible and even tactile warnings wich this guy ignored.

    No current day vehicle (or something from 2019) has in it’s manual that this is use as intended. As a matter of fact all warn you to not do that.

    And I get that you hate Tesla/Musk, don’t we all. But in this case only 1 person is responsible. The asshole driving it.

    I use Windows because

    My pc does not tell a story. It’s a thing I use for work and play. I can’t be bothered, it doesn’t interest me, what niri, alacritty cosmic de is. Why should I care? Why should I invest that time? My pc works already. My framerates are high, it’s stable and all the stuff I need for work, works. Out of the box.

    Every single time I tried linux for the desktop the system failed within weeks. Dependency error after an automatic upgrade. Grub killing itself. Again. X refuses to start. So many config files littered all over the place just waiting for you to fuck something up. Gpu driver bullshittery. Printer hell. Other peripheral shit. (Flightsim gear)

    And honestly, the last time i seriously tried was more then 5 years ago. In IT terms that’s a lifetime. So surely it will be much better now.

    But after the umpteenth fail to start X, I just thought: wtf am I doing? I could also next next finish my ass through a Windows installation, insert a pihole in my network to block the most obnoxious stuff and just do my thing.

    Which is what I did.

    Now, I do use linux. A lot. Just not for my desktop.


  • Point? Like most gifts, there is no point. You just got it.

    Thats how I treat my life: as a gift. Because what makes me me, existed as matter for eons. Inert. And by an insane oddity it got “infused” with life, thought, wonder but only for an extremely short while. And after that short period it will go back into that inert state. So i do nice things which are within my reach. Things that makes me feel good. And modern (western) society gives us a lot of time to do that. I know it doesn’t always feel like that but if you look at it historically we have the most off time ever.

    Nice things can be anything. Maybe meaningless on the Grand scale of things, but I like making my family happy. I love cuddling my stinky old dog(well, not that old), I hate gardening but love the outcome of it. And yes, I love wasting time on movies, reading, gaming, theater. Or hikes. Or travel in general. The smell of the sea. The feeling of being in a forest. That first time you played “The last of us”. that one specific movie. Or read that one fantastic book. That feeling when you finished it. Or when you went to that insanely funny comedian. Or just hanged out drinking beers (or whatever )with friends or colleagues. Its all fantastic.

    And most of the times I like my job and try to forward my little society with it. (I work for a municipality) Within my own little means.

    So… meaning? Of life? Experience shit. Make up your own mind.

    And please: don’t use big tech socials. They’re made so you don’t feel good, get addicted to them. Get you hooked. It and it’s goals (sell ads!) are evil.

    I’ve been inert for eternity. I will not waste that little time I have. Experience something. Anything.





  • I was in the same boat. Then I decided that the 50x0 was a paper launch and the leaks told me that the 9070XT would lower or have the same performance as the 7900xtx.

    Then the 7900xtx dropped in price, clearing the channel for the new gen.

    Then I bought that.

    Ever since I’ve been wondering… Why didn’t I buy this thing earlier?

    It’s more then fast enough. The RT performance is above the 3080.

    Every 9070XT I can buy now is almost 200 euro more then what i payed for the 7900xtx.

    What I learned? Buy previous gen in it’s “dying” weeks.


  • From a musk pov it’s 100% logical. Money.

    Why? Win2k was quite stable. Stable enough to use it in warships.

    Linux/Bsd is not free. When you use it in your company you want pro support. That support comes free with windows enterprise licenses. So the cost difference there is almost non existent. And, MS being M$, they would’ve sweetened the deal. A lot. Just think of the marketing worth of this deal for MS.

    And lastly: Who is cheaper? A good linux admin or a windows guy?

    So 90% of the stability at 50% of the cost. That’s not a bad deal.






  • As a dutchie I say both is true.

    Yes, the Israeli mob brought it over themselves by chanting, insulting and attacking several people including a Dutch taxi driver of arab descent.

    Fuck around, find out was a very appropriate way to describe what happened next.

    Did it go too far? Was it even pathetic, wrong singling some strays out and attacking them with 5 or even more?

    I know, fighting isn’t about being fair, it’s about winning but this was just stupid.

    And that’s true also. It went too far. They where literally being hunted.

    Also, this “editorial” is very biased. There is more then enough footage of israelis being molested by a group. This article says there’s no proof or whatever but there is. Like… A lot.



  • Its very simple. Sex is boring to look at. Even porn. Whats the longest you watched a porn movie? 5 minutes? 15? Let’s top it off at 30 minutes. Just to be safe.

    Violence is not boring. Stuff like John Wick grabs you by the ass and puts you on a roller coaster.

    Want proof? Look at gaming. How big are the dating sims? Now compare that with call of duty/etc.

    So, me? Yeah, stop with the xxl steamy sex scenes in movies. Very rarely do they add anything more then an interlude. A time to get coffee. To look at your notifications. At best.

    To be clear: I love sex. My sex.
