it’s also really stupid considering the liberal cites are literally what MAKES Texas. There’s mass amounts of population in rural areas that just flat don’t vote. If everyone voted in TX it’s be blue as fuck.

Either way when the cities themselves lose all the workers that high paying jobs need the cities start to fall and the revenue for the state will follow.

Literal idiots that just think the oilfield will go on forever and nothing else will matter

Perl is still the best. 😁 😁

I’ve legit never understood it’s appeal. Like what even is the purpose of it?

ubuntu is the most widely used distro and very simple to setup and gaming out of the box with steam is very simple. Distro end of the day doesn’t matter all that much because you can change them to your hearts content, but for a beginner, you’d probably have the easiest time with an ubuntu distro.

Doesn’t hurt to have virtual box windows on your linux box just so you can easily do some of that other stuff. While I have done fine with libre office for a long time there are definitely problems with formatting so having a windows VM would just solve that issue. Plus teams and w/e.

Epic games will take some serious tweaking, but not impossible.

google is also spyware… so is facebook while we’re at it and literally ANY OTHER APP YOU PUT ON YOUR PHONE. Ever notice how every single thing has an app? It’s not to make it easy for you to buy stuff from them, it’s so they can utilize your data to make them more money.

lol straight up troll bait. Also funny cause it’s probably people who “believe in freedom and the constitution” who voted in that dumb poll. Somehow we need a nanny state to take over control of the internet… FREEDOOOOMMMM

troll shit… Probably half the voters were trolls too

Most boomers and whatever came right after boomers don’t even have decent retirements… That’s what’s sorta funny about all this. I know quite a few 60s and 70s yr olds that legit don’t have enough to sustain their lifestyles and still have to work. The system failed LONG before Millennials showed up.

Many of them went their whole lives “not trusting the stock market” just to literally have no retirement. Much of it was lack of education and access to the stock market when they could have been investing, but then at the same time it is a pretty stupid fucking system of retirement when without notice you can lose 40% of value because some bankers fucked around.

The system sucked for them that’s why they still have to work, but instead of trying to fix it, they just complain that it’s their kids fault.

That is kind of the funny thing about autos. Like most manufacturers are terrible in many ways. Environment, political, the way they treat people or how shitty their quality control is. Planned obsolescence. There is still a fake “supply demand” issue that they have literally concocted to jack prices through the roof. Literally price gouging asking 15k over MRSP because they pretend they have a supply issue lol.

All the US majors are in on this scam and it’s sad we don’t have a government worth a fuck to fight it…

Elon is just mouthy about it lol. I couldn’t even tell you who the CEO of GMC is. They are awful as well tho.

yeah like… WTF you gonna try to do this on a major social media site… how stupid is that shit… Go to IRC, fools.

I’v been using Ubuntu for nearing 20 years now. Maybe like 18ish… It took debian’s rock solidness and made it ez pz. It’s super easy to install and configure and runs like a dream. Has long term stable releases especially important for server architecture. Has the “server” install that is minimal on disk space.

Etc… Just really rock solid distro that I’ve run for decades and has cost me $0 to do so.

I ran red hat till all the cool kids told me it’s got to be Debian and then Ubuntu hit the scene and that was that. I’m sure Arch is fine and I’d bet had I chosen to stick with Red Hat and move to Fedora it’d also be fine. End of the day it’s still Linux.

I’m in a town of 3600… People are super fucking poor and still work their asses off. None of them would give a fuck if you “try that” or w/e the fuck that guy is on about… They’d go on about their business because they are just surviving. They’d sure as fuck not give a shit about any sorta of vigilante justice. They’d say “that’s definitely not my problem”

Pretty sure this dude is pandering to wannabees who probably have never actually spent any time in a small town in the US.

Brands that don’t buy enough X adds you mean

lol at actual shop… Those were put out of business a LONGGGGGGGGGGGG time ago…

Shops these days are home depot, walmart, best buy, academy, etc…

I love gnome Click activities, go to the screen you want, click the program you want… so simple what you are on about man.

I think the advertising it can do is a perfectly reasonable way to monetize…

Their problem is they want to be some major player and not a “right sized” organization… They want to go public and try to be billionaires and be like elon or zuck, but it’s just not going to be that.

So in their quest for GREED they’ll destroy the very thing that can make them absolute massive amounts of money. It’s crazy how many mega corps have fallen to the same fate.

They should welcome 3rd parties and any other means to see reddit and monetize the advertising… Hell they could even try to work streaming deals with NFL and NBA and whatever… Cowboys games live threads alone have caused the entire reddit website to collapse lol.

SOOO much monetization possibilities in that. And it’s charging billion dollar organizations… not the people that use the service…

Spez is not a good business man

shipping is also trucks dude… and all the other nasty ways we move products around the world…

GOP is busy listening to pod casts that’s how they get all their information. They only know how to use their phones so it makes sense that they can’t actually explore the web and open their minds.

Hence letting the religious fruitcakes take over and continue to push wild conspiracy theories and ignore science as their main party platform.

What you are seeing is literally because the people you identify with are mostly fucking idiots. You should be so proud!

Meanwhile in TX we are hitting record heat indexes after last year hitting “record # of days above 100” and coming off another once a century drought lol

people are so dumb it’s painful to watch. This particular guy seems to be up north. His watchers better prepare because everyone’s moving that way. Entire contitnents are going to start migrating to them sooner than we realize.

There are still some niche subs that didn’t come to lemmy that I engage in, but I spend more time on Lemmy now than I do on reddit. I think there are probably dozens of us like that. So while I might still show “traffic” I’m not spending near as much time as I did on it and since reddit is trying to go public they wont publish that little fact.

Anyone can buy an article, so I expect to see more of these “everything is just hunky dory at reddit” articles because again they have profit motive.

Meanwhile lemmy grows and grows. Hopefully people continue to engage over here to keep it interesting.

you don’t need to do anything in xorg. just run nvidia-settings and you can move the position of the monitors. It should have installed along with the drivers. If not just install it and should be good to go very common for that to happen. You also didn’t tell us what distro. You might need to go into your distro settings and make sure the monitors are configured properly as well. On ubuntu it’ll default to 60hz and you have to change the settings in there to get the full performance from your monitor. You can also change positions of the monitor in that setting space.
