This is still an issue for me. I have not been participating because I can’t see notifications.

Standardize or bust.

I upgraded my ten-year-old gaming PC this year and switched from an Nvidia GPU to an AMD one. You’re welcome.

Possibly stupid question: if they found out that people were doing illegal stuff on it, doesn’t that mean that they were monitoring people’s conferences? I thought that the FOSS community was big on privacy.

It might actually preclude some games from even getting a Switch port at all due to performance.

Good, maybe in two or three more years Windows 11 will be useable. Right on time for Windows 12 to roll out and drag Microsoft users back to the Stone Age again.

What exactly do you mean by “gifted”?

Thank you so much, I’m going to keep that quote in my hat from now on.

I tested high on the IQ scale. I’m single, unemployed and have trouble making friends. I agree with you completely. Having a high IQ does not substitute for life skills nor does it make you happy.

The flip side is that having an extremely low IQ can make it very hard for you to navigate the world and perform basic tasks.

I’m not even going to check if that’s misattributed because I want to believe that it isn’t.

I don’t resent anyone else for not being able to do what I do, because I’m aware that I can’t do stuff that others can.

IQ is just one kind of intelligence. I have a high IQ (or had one ten years ago when I took a test, anyway), good body awareness, passable social intelligence and really, really low emotional intelligence. I suck at dealing with my feelings. So for every time somebody is complaining about some problem they have where I find the solution trivial, you can bet there’s another time when I’m complaining about some stuff I’m dealing with where they’re thinking “duh, just do this, that’s obvious”.

I wouldn’t say I “cope” with it. I just accept it. People are different, we all have our strengths and weaknesses, and I think that being bothered by other people’s weaknesses is a huge weakness in itself. I have a bit of that weakness (I think everyone does, it’s frustrating to see people stumble over stuff that you take in stride) but when I feel that way, I just remind myself that it’s my own weakness that makes theirs bother me in the first place, so it’s my problem and my fault, and I move on.

¿Por qué no los dos?

Danke schön. I find this a very reasonable way to go about it.

Should cars be required by law not to let you drive to drug deals? Should glasses be required by law not to let you read banned books? Should testicles be required by law not to produce government-unsanctioned sperm?

I like this. Where is “here”?

Stats.FM is another good one. It shows you all sorts of statistics on what you listen to, which you can filter by time period and use to find new music.

What are you talking about? I can still access my files just fine.

Yeah, it’s so pathetic that I’m not even angry.

Did you read my question before answering?

Being gay is a crime in Uganda so you just supported jailing all the gays the entire world over. Really nice.
