So perhaps the most painful death would be just before that threshold.

Fractional scaling isn’t available and neither is per-monitor refresh rate. Windows drag at a different refresh rate than the monitor and it is jarring. Additionally everything is really small on my big monitor. As soon as Wayland support is added I’m going to install mint, but for now I just can’t stand those downsides.

Mint is so nice! I would really like to use it but I just can’t deal with using xorg as I have multiple monitors and they are different sizes.

I can’t wait for the rebirth of the demotivational poster!

That can’t be true… it’s just a legend!

It’s not only much cheaper to not have a caffeine addiction, but it also I think makes me much more present as I don’t need caffeine in the mornings to function, and I get enough sleep. Just seems better to me.

Absolutely a good thing. As someone who drank a lot of energy drinks in high school, it was not worth it.

How the hell did he manage that?!

I meant to say that still exists. My bad that I left that out.

Because the US is historically the most powerful long-lasting nation. The ussr was competitive but they fell, and china is a very very new power. It also doesn’t matter if it was American literature because the Cold War and its associated propaganda was of interest to most countries as their fate was tied to neither doing anything as well.

Why would you believe Cold War literature? Propaganda influenced everything. And also the UK would not be the main target if it is America pretty much directly engaging Russia as this suggests. They need those defense dollars to quit coming towards them. And america is its own continent, if Russia was to launch all they could at America and America just sat there and took it it might end life on North America and permanently ruin South America due to fallout, but the rest of the world would survive although it would never be the same.

While it is shooting back, it’s also the end of the world. It’s very possible the people would not fire back and instead just let America die for the sake of the world. The propaganda makes them feel like they are “just shooting back” and they will.

Well it would be hard to assassinate him twice

Sure so far, but a direct order from Putin directly after killing the last man who crossed him? If it came to it he would launch everything he’s got because anything not launched gets destroyed by mutually assured destruction, so every single Russian officer would have to refuse to launch. And it only takes one launch to be devastating and trigger a complete reaction from the US as our anti-Russian propaganda is still strong.

If Biden funds them Biden funds a direct attack on Russia, due to the increased pressure Russia will take that as an attack from the US and will escalate. We want to deescalate everything we can because we don’t know if putin will use his nukes, and if he does the world ends. Putin will not win a war with the us though, so he may not care about the end of the world.

I can second Mlem, it’s open source and great! Had a bit of a rocky start with missing media features and bugs but the last few update have ironed out all my issues with it to the point where I dont even have to think about it and no longer am switching apps to get features I feel are missing.

I really wonder what religion this guy practices…

I’ve done some limited research, and it should be possible to build from anything if you don’t use any apple specific cpu features or frameworks etc. that being said, that will be a pretty bad experience so I assume these services require a Mac for that reason. I could be wrong about react native though, only found one questionable source that said you could.

I don’t know, never used it. Just know that it exists and can do that.

Not completely true. The best by far is xcode, but swift is open source so if you develop your own toolkit instead of SwiftUI and replace all other proprietary *Kit then any old computer can do it. You can also use (usually cross platform) frameworks which have already done all of this like react native which makes it really easy to do in other OSes, however you will still only get the best experience using native libraries which can only be built from Xcode on a Mac. Maybe darling will open the doors to running that on Linux one day though!
