Still no VP pick, I wonder what dumpster fire will inherit the office.

most Internet users are happy to do a quick Google Search

Yeah, the average redditor won't throw abuse at you for suggesting they use google to find out what something is.

It would be ineffectually banned in the US and Bytedance would continue to rake in money worldwide from not-the-US?

The US population represents ~4% of the world.

If they comply.

My current woes relate to choosing a distro (Fedora 40 KDE) that is compatible with secure boot, for simplicity of dual booting, only to find that the DisplayLink driver that I need to run my screens is not signed. Therefore I either have to switch off Secure Boot anyway, or manually re-sign it after every kernal update with some convoluted series of terminal commands... which I will not be doing.

That and there not being an equivalent of the CRU configuration tool that lets me tweak my Freesync monitor's ranges to stop intolerable brightness flickering.

Finding that none of the useful AMD Software settings like Fluid Motion Frames or Anti-Lag are supported is also a random pain.

Every attempt I go for, I generally find roadblock after roadblock until I give up because I have too limited a lifespan to spend it bouncing between forum pages tangentially related to my issue.

As opposed to having a bajillion specific distros, repos, and sources flying around...?

Obviously I'd never touch the Microsoft store though.

Does he mean the ones in prison...?

Bullshit. Give it a week tops for it to be walked back, or for it to come to light that it is just a massive handout to the rail companies.

Everyone holding shares has a pretty vested interest in believing the bullshit, because it impacts all of their bottom lines. The truth loses them money, so they'd much prefer a semi-plausible lie.

"Gamers are dumb fucks and I'm a gamer."

Well I can't fault your logic.

It's almost like employees are more than just numbers on a spreadsheet. Who knew.

Or shot a curious dolphin at the surface.
