Ive gotten linux mint and popos working long term for gaming with two Nvidia cards, ones a 970 and the others a 3080ti. Not sure if that info helps but I found those distros to be stable.

Edit to add: I use docker and portainer on both.

People who say things like “dozens of reasons” often list not a single reason. Trust me bro!

I did this the other day but didnt realize the irony at the time…

Its funny, a screenshot every 5 minutes that might be reviewed later on if needed sounds less intrusive than western efforts like google, amazon, etc.

I do too, its just not changing the world. I don’t have issues with motion sickness but it is a bit of a chore to wear a quest 2 for more than an hour or so. Still theres a bunch of great games and experiences on there.

Very true, although I don’t think freedom is always a good thing.

Yeah turns out people don’t like wearing things on their head that are heavy, and quite a lot who don’t mind will get motion sickness anyways. Its an interesting creative tool, similar to a 3d printer in my opinion. Oh also beat saber is pretty great but thats like a single game.

Why do you think freedom and decentralization is always good? I don’t think bitcoin improves lives and the majority of people view it as gambling rather than currency. Sometimes its useful to get around local regulations or to pay slightly less in fees that would normally go to a bank. Its just a different western union money transfer and yet people on here are talking about it like it represents freedom and the individual spirit or some nonsense. Its main use is to scam people out of money. Its secondary use is to facilitate purchase of illegal goods. A very small fraction of the whole is people using it as an actual currency.

I’ll put it this way, a small fraction of responsible heroin users does not make heroin as a whole a good thing.

Fees are predictable. Volatility is not. If you can’t make sure the money you are paid retains its value then the price you are selling something for is also volatile rather than inert.

I think they didnt say part of their reasoning. Crypto is useful to buy things that are either illegal or not socially acceptable/available in your local area.

The purpose of a system is what it does. Crypto is used to bypass regulations, generally for illegal or immoral things. Its also been used as a ponzi scheme over and over, I guess we call them rug pulls now but its the same bullshit.

Crypto is for gamblers or drug addicts, generally. Sometimes they are both. Sort of reminds me of the mortgage crisis in 2008 with people saying it wasnt the system just people abusing it. The system was built and modified to enable abuse.

The metaverse is for creating, not really for visiting. If you are an artist, creating worlds in 3d in VR might be interesting to you. I wouldnt look at it as a way to make money, more of a hobby tool.

So what’s the positive uses of crypto then? You listed many things that are immensel useful like the wheel, fire, electricity, etc. Do you think crypto fits in that category?

Cause your use case is the only one that exists, of course.

Companies are reluctant to use this method as theres no telling what will break due to TPM being disabled. Some will still use it as they have no other choice though.

Well thank god we have you do be productive and on topic. Clearly doing a service to the world, and totally not just shit posting out of boredom.

So why are they made in Taiwan then? Why not make them in america?

Senator Tom Cotton’s legislation seeks to “prevent advanced American TAIWANESE chips from falling into the hands of adversaries like Communist China.”

FTFY

Its just a phrase about managing expectations. You can replace whore with literally any profession and its the same message.
