    Larger… And significantly less experienced.

    Which is what happens when you throw your special forces into the meat grinder, to the point that they’ve set up a schismatic faction in Kharkiv and are doing nothing more than attempting to weather out the rest of the war unmolested.

    And the western production lines are finally starting to ramp up. Russia stands 0 chance against a fully mobilized western military industrial complex.

    And every day Ukraine holds out is another day that Europe gears up.

    Putin’s only hope is Trump.



  • “I want to make a movie so painfully obvious in its satire that everyone who understands it lives in perpetual psychological torment inflicted on them by all the people who don’t.”

    • Paul Verhoeven, director of Starship Troopers

    The movie makes it clear that:

    1. The bugs were responding to human colonization
    2. Humans fired the first shots
    3. The government is lying to everyone claiming the bugs are mindless. They overjoyed shouts of the soldiers when they learn the opposite is true - is only because they learn that the bugs are terrified.
    4. The endless over the top propaganda is supposed to be a pretty fuckin heavy clue that it’s a fascist state.









  • Until Destiny 2 gets Linux support I’ll unfortunately always be bound to windows. At least as a dual boot.

    But if I’m forced to use windows anyways I feel like I’ll never make the jump to Linux. I’ve got a Linux laptop for the other use cases but gaming remains Windows only for me until the game I play with all my friends is cross platform.


  • But this man still thinks Linux is difficult and not easy to use

    He explicitly said that it was incredibly easy to get set up on old hardware and that everything he did just worked.

    All of his reasons why Linux is hard to use he specifically framed in the context of “historically speaking Linux was bad but now Linux is good”

    Were you even paying attention?

    That said, if you’ve ever tried to pair a controller with Linux that isn’t a PS5 or Xbox controller it will be rough. Had to use the CLI to change Bluetooth configs and install non standard drivers to support it on Mint



  • Shure != Bose, but also I don’t think you can shower in the Shure IEMs. Maybe with a case or something on them.

    I use Aftershokz for something like shower listening but those are the opposite of your problem - they’re bone conduction so they do not block any sound.

    Also to be clear - my earbuds are wireless in that they just clip to my belt loop with the Bluetooth receiver. So I can have them out of the way but easily available.
