My old gaming PC isn't "good enough" for Win11 (tpm2 ofc), yet compared to the Win11 PC my wife's work forced on her you'd think it was some sort of future supercomputer

If enough people actually ditch their hardware then we server admins are going to eat good this year, mmmmmmm

I got unemployment in California in a very similar scenario, pretty sure they explicitly state something like this is a valid reason somewhere on that hellhole of a website

Idk about other places in this dumpster fire of a nation, but silicone valley is here, so maybe?

If you're as far along as the guy in OP then you're being irresponsible to not be looking for a place to live. Dude got the job and had it pulled from him, this would get him unemployment in California at least (I should know - I got unemployment in California in basically this scenario)

Thought we'd have to wait a few more movies/tv seasons before we got to the (spoiler for a minor point in later Dune books)

if you drive on the left the one on the right has priority and vice versa for the rest of the world

Isn't that backwards? US we drive on the right and if 2 people arrive at a stop at the same time you yield to your right, the rules would extrapolate out to the same at a roundabout time, googling and looking at the CA handbook produced squat so the rules might be "fuck it" here, actually

Idk how exactly you'd apply the effect to your terminal, but you could get that text effect by applying a scanline and bloom filter

If there was reshade for terminal it'd be 2 check boxes lol

Actually, I think that might be harder than you'd imagine, at least as things work right now

Valve would probably need something in the Proton API to help ensure programs don't think each version is a different PC as that is kinda the point of how Wine/Proton work (by creating a fake virtual PC and running things through that), or change how prefixes are handled so that all proton versions default to the same prefix (which would have other issues im sure)

None of which would be a problem if they just exported the game from their software into a native Linux format, of course. Doom runs on Unreal, yeah? Should take 0 effort to make a native Linux version of the game, but they won't

so I am sure the cost of supporting Linux users was not worth it.

What's so fucking annoying about these DRM issues is that basically all of the AntiCheat and DRM we have WORK ON LINUX IF YOU ENABLE ONE FUCKING SETTING

Easy AntiCheat for example is quite literally a checkbox at some point of compiling or whatever, I've seen someone do it!

This implied argument, which is the real argument

Ah, so you're calling them a terrible person because you misunderstand what's going on in their reply, gotcha

There are states like Texas that don't have income taxes, but they make up for it by taxing everything else through things like sales and property taxes

Fun fact: last I checked (~2 years ago) TX was like 8% more taxed than famously tax-happy CA, which pissed some Texan dickheads off when I pointed it out

An important thing to note is that 50% don't pay federal tax, as you said here

They still pay sales tax and taxes of that sort (which actually are significant), just not the federal income/property taxes
