My work dell has that stupid issue too.

Or at least it did, until I booted into Mint for the first time. 4 screens immediately usable. Boot back into Windows and it goes back to not working. You get one monitor mirrored.

Maybe they have some shady limitation in a driver unless you have the highest end models?

On my work machine, just a Dell laptop with a dock and some monitors, Mint Cinnamon actually gave me a better out-of-box than win10.

I didn’t try Mint until 21 (the version before current) and it’s just so smooth now.

Mint is basically Ubuntu without the controversial bits.

I don’t know if he started it, but I’ve heard Musk use that phrase so I’m sure it helps the deplorables feel like real galaxy brains for hating the right people.

Sure, but the people who need to see this message are the ones who fell all over themselves to vote for the convicted felon on pre-sentencing release who tried to overthrow the government after the last election.

Asking them to form a sensible opinion based on hundreds of pages describing how they’re going to fuck over anybody who isn’t a rich white man — it just feels orders of magnitude more complicated and subtle than whether it makes sense to vote for the criminal who has betrayed the country and insulted service members multiple times.

Gates was the guy nerds were supposed to hate decades ago because Microsoft and billionaire. But that feels fun and innocent compared with today where the billionaires are actively trying to destroy society and ruin people’s lives as opposed to just exploiting them for their labor.

You need your knives, CHECK!

Gotta love when the conspiracy is so stupid that it’s the people who dedicated their lives to building and spreading human knowledge are the ones keeping the knowledge away from Joe public.

You know how Trump has been called the poor person’s idea of a rich person? I’m trying to think of the caricature they use for “scientist” in their minds. Maybe a woke Joe Rogan?

Well of course they don’t say that. They have negative sounding terms like the old “bleeding heart liberal,” because as every good conservative knows it is weakness and foolishness to give a shit about other people.

I guess today they would just go for woke. It’s short and meaningless, but it started out being used by minorities so again every good conservative knows it’s a bad thing and a killer insult.

I’m sure the more conservative members of my extended family will be angry and complaining about the world or how much money other people have or whatever.

And I’ll probably be in my usual spot, in the other room with the kids, playing video games or watching dumb funny videos.

Your comment really highlights the shit state of political discourse and general culture in this country.

Discussing actual policies comes across like a leftist circle jerk because the people have decided that “fuck everything and everybody” is a valid political platform.

Being convinced to give a shit about other people just shows that you’re gullible, to them.

I think this maniac wishes for immortality, and since the closest he can do is make his name stand out in the history books, he used his “dumbest kid on planet Vulcan” logical prowess to deduce that the best way to accomplish that is to become a mustache twirling villain.

This whole “like a man” thing sounds to me like an extension of the toxic cultural BS where “men” are not just humans with emotions and needs like every other human. It reeks of men who are too scared or ignorant to be self-aware and figure out what life really means to them, and thus they need the people around them (especially the partners) to play along in their power/masculinity fantasy.

What a man needs is to realize he’s just another human, and that for humans happiness and fulfillment can ultimately only come from within. Relationships with others are crucial, and you might even need some medication to get your brain chemistry unfucked, but neither of those are independently going to make you happy with yourself and “feel like a man.”

“A man” can refer to roughly half the adult population. It’s not exactly an exclusive club. Why not leave gender out if it and try to be “a good person” and see where that gets you?

Having the people around you walking on eggshells to keep your manly ego intact, whether it’s out of fear or pity, is the exact opposite of what a good person should strive for. What if the people around you instead trust you, feel safe with you, laugh with you, and are better off with you in their lives?

Nobody told me the wolves would be bringing wontons! And here I am voting for the humans like a chump.

Using Linux in America be like

I might have to give that one a try.

My work machine with mint has an Intel iGPU and a discrete nvidia one and things seem pretty good, but I don’t really play games on it.

Linux Mint: The Better Ubuntu ™

That red USB looks exactly like my Linux installer one, recently upgraded to Mint 22!
