Who’s the one bullying and gatekeeping here?

I’m not a camera nerd either, but I recognize that there’s people that need professional hardware either for a professional use or an obsessive hobby (either photog or other electronics or optics work). If a cell phone is “good enough” for me, that doesn’t mean it’s good for a specialist. Just like pretty much everything else in life.

The only reason I have a frednica is because that’s where I chill and hang out with the Fediverse Chick.

I WFH for a company where we’re regularly moving files and packages in the 100s of GBs. I’m already on 2.5Gb and and I still ahev to wait 10-20 minutes at times. I also share a connection with my wife who is a CAD designer and 3D Space modeler for an architect who also works from home who also has similar upload & download times for some of her work.

That’s just us. There’s plenty of other professionals out there that work with large files between teams either as a job or hobby from home.

10Gb has a market for home users. It may be limited at this time, but it’s there.

“AI” text prediction runs locally. Microphone is for voice to text functionality.

As for the keyboard itself. Ehhhhh. It’s lacking UX features to make it actually usable. I dailied it for a month and had far more typos, text prediction broke whenever a number or symbol was fat fingered into the string. Finding symbols you need was worse than gboard & SwiftKey.

I really want there to be a great open-source keyboard, but none actually deliver on UX atm.

Just an HMD. He’s largely a sim pit VR user.

Samsung Odyssey w/ GTX 2060.

He’s using Monando built with Envision without the steamvr-monado Plugin because “it slows everything down”.

I have a friend that regularly games in VR in Linux. Admittedly, he’s always faffing around with it to make it work. But he’s also a bit of a chaotic person that runs Arch, so that could just be him and not a failing of the current level of support.

Time & effort. Everything that you do means something else doesn’t get done. Whether that be gaming with friends or an item off your project/chore list.

We know that gaming centric distros are great for getting up & running, but it’s still a time sink, and will require effort. Not everybody has a backup drive with their games and will have to re-download everything too. There’s also a risk their favorite game isn’t compatible with Linux

Windows 10 also works just fine. I still have it on 2 of my 4 computers (2/5 if you count my Deck), and haven’t switched those over yet because I’m being lazy on one and the other is a perfect candidate for the SteamOS UX experience since it’s a HTPC. However, I have done some looking around at other HTPC experiences and just haven’t pulled the trigger. Which will be awesome, since Windows did away with their HTPC UX years ago.

I haven’t run across a game that hasn’t run on The Deck yet. I know it’s capable of running quite a lot, but I got it to play indie games. It’s been great and does what I want it to do phenomenally. Additionallh if I ever wanted to do something more demanding on it, I could.

Why are you being so weird?

It doesn’t matter, I don’t believe or live by your book. Neither does she.

But your book does say that, you, as a believer, shouldn’t force your beliefs down somebody else’s throat by judging them.

So kindly, fuck off with this shit and let people live their lives however they want unless it impacts you. Just like I’ll do, but I’ll do it because I’m a descent fucking person.

Maybe, just maybe, she doesn’t believe in that book and doesn’t want your values shoved down her throat.

Maybe she wants to be able to dress comfortably without the rules of some goat herder’s book of fairytale and moral values.

Or the right to speak without a man to speak for her.

Or to open a bank account without her husband or father being on the account too.

Or one of the other thousands of things women have had to deal with, outside of fucking sexual freedom, or still deal with thanks to this holy book.

And lastly the freedom to have sex with whatever another consenting adult or adults as she pleases without your fucking judgment.

Judge not, that ye be not judged.

For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.

Mathew 7:1-2

Right?

Like maybe she wants to be able to dress comfortably without the rules of some goat herder’s book of fairytale and moral values.

Or the right to speak without a man to speak for her.

Or to open a bank account without her husband or father being on the account too.

Or one of the other thousands of things women have had to deal with, outside of fucking sexual freedom, or still deal with thanks to this holy book.

Also, she should be able to have sex freely with other consenting adults without shame too.

Woamen*

I’d say the same thing in a memes community since this showed up in my “Everything” feed.

Your response came off very mansplainy and misogynist by overlooking a ton of shit and at the end went to, “lol, she wants to have sex!”.

Nice mansplain.

This shouldn’t be our responsibility to “fix”.

It isn’t? I’ve been using the term since I picked up my first Android phone in 2010 and there were side-loaded apps everywhere. Hell, you used to have to side-load the Amazon Store app. And that was all just “download this apk and install it” Workflows.

ITT: Witnessing somebody learning what sideloading is and isn’t as technical as they think it is.
