Unfortunately that is the reality of American elections. First past the post means a 3rd party can effectively never win

Ignore all media, vote for whoever the democratic candidate is.

I realized that all the election media just makes me angry, and I already know who I’m NOT voting for, so there’s really only one choice anyways.

Stressed means you make more mistakes. Calm and collected, as well as relaxed is the better way to drive. You’re less likely to make mistakes or poor decisions when relaxed.

Stressed drivers are dangerous and unpredictable.

Can’t sing along at the top of my lungs though, which is the only place I can because the walls of my apartment are too thin.

Driving to and from places is way more relaxing than being on transit imo. Transit has always been significantly more stressful for me and never lines up with when I need to use it.

I’m sure there is, but after a few hours of trying to get it to work it wasn’t worth it anymore and no tweaking was necessary to make it work perfectly on windows.

This is the 3rd time I’ve had the same issue. Major fps drops in every game played. This has happened over multiple Distros and multiple years. I don’t enjoy having to spend hours configuring a game just to make it run 20% worse than if I just installed it on windows.

Destiny 2 explicitly says they’ll never support Linux. Same with CoD. Older competitive games run without issue. Newer ones done.

Minimum acceptable performance for me is 4k/120fps on medium/high settings. (I have a 3090)

Anti-cheats block Linux. EAC theoretically supports it, but from what I can tell it’s a less secure option for both windows and Linux, ensuring a lot of devs never turn it on.

Also idk what it is, but proton performance seems to be ~1/2-1/3 of what I get on native windows for pretty much every game. Had to give up on BG3 on Linux after I maxed out at ~40fps and huge stutters.

Still can’t play most competitive fps games on Linux. There’s a couple, but the majority are still windows only.

My reasoning is that it’s way too inconvenient to need to restart my pc multiple times a day if I want to play games. Add in that my audio solution doesn’t work at all on Linux (GoXLR) that requires me to use a separate set of peripherals and it just becomes less of a hassle to use windows over Linux.

I can’t do them

I zone out and miss entire chapters pretty much any time I try. I also find pacing much too slow and most narrators just aren’t pleasant to listen to imo.

Know plenty of people who love them though, and as long as it increases literary reach then they’re only a good thing.

Nope, SMS is free in pretty much all phone plans here in the states

Too cluttered

SMS is a requirement here in the states

I’ve missed multiple sets of messages due to poor notifications on the more privacy focused apps

My roommates and I had a groupchat that was used explicitly for all of those things.

Planning on the group chat was about the only talking about activities we’d do. If something was missed in the group chat, that was on the person who missed it.

We paid shared bills. That’s where we did all of the breakup of responsibilities and money requirements.

Being left out of group chats will absolutely have you left out of day to day activities since they now have to go out of their way to invite only you, since everyone else already has the info.

No idea why you’re getting downvoted. Outside of the increasingly small desktop gpu market AMD is completely irrelevant in professional GPU use. They’re not even remotely close to being a competitor

And I’d like hardware that works, and proprietary drivers are really the only way that happens

That’s all I see happening too. The Nvidia Linux drivers will just get worse and not solve anything.

It’s already a huge pain in the ass to use the proprietary drivers, the open source ones barely work as is.

Fair, but most (non militantly privacy focused) people have Instagram and it does have dual purpose.

But I also use iMessage for all group chats anyways and will likely continue to do so.

I’m pretty sure it’s straight up child abuse

UI is bad imo, lack of SMS is a complete disqualifier, nobody else I know uses the platform so I’m using it for one group chat only, notifications don’t work properly.

Because most of the time they’re not leaving you out because they’re doing it intentionally, but because everyone else already has the info, you’re just making it much harder to invite yourself.

I was this person. I got left out of a lot of stuff because I wouldn’t join group chats. It’s not a hill worth dying on.
