I hate that I want to enter that sink hole and go under those sheets of grass.

It’s incredibly dangerous, and yet when will I ever get the opportunity to do this.

I, too, was forged in the fires of Macromedia.

Before the dark times. Before the empire.

I think it’s a noble thing to preserve these digital recordings. It’s tough, because they’re the individual person’s memories. But long after we’re dead and our names and lives are forgotten, it would be an important artifact for our future generations to have access to.

Now I’m thinking about all the old VHS tapes my parents have. If they haven’t already degraded, I’m going to ask for those tapes and see what it costs to digitize them myself.

It must be exhausting always rooting for the anti-hero

I never would have guessed that the captured regulators would choose the owner class over the working class.

The best way to get back at someone is to have a great life. Ignore him and block him, and carry on with your great life.

He’s obviously insecure, fragile, and arrogant. Move on - you’ll never win anything by stopping to his level, and you’ll never convince him to change his ways by putting him in his place. The older you get, the more you realize quickly people just aren’t worth your time.

When you see him next, just ignore him. When he gossips about you to his brother or your friends in an attempt to get a rise out of you, laugh and ignore him.

Have a great life, and fuck that guy.

That’s a cute dress. If I pirate it, will I get a Creative Cloud warning pop up when it dials home?

Oh wow! This is neat Google! This is a great distraction from your other invasive and insidious tracking you’re introducing in your browser.

I’ll go redownload Chrome now and give up Firefox.

Why are we still preordering AAA digital video games from multi-million dollar corporations?There is no incentive to preorder AAA video games anymore - long gone are the days of midnight launches for physical games.

  • Cyberpunk 2077
  • Returnal
  • Forsaken
  • The Lord of the Rings: Gollum
  • Fallout 76
  • Grand Theft Auto: Definitive Edition
  • The Last of Us Part 1
  • No Man’s Sky
  • Etc. ad nauseum

All of these games came with a half-assed apology from the publisher and how “this wasn’t their intention”. Yes, it was absolutely their intention. They released a knowingly broken game and charged us full price for it. They already got our money and laughed because they know we’re too stupid to do anything about it and that they’ve trained us well with “fear of missing out”.

How many times do us gamers need to get burned by video game publishers until we learn our lesson?

Stop rewarding and encouraging their predatory behavior. Opt out of this abusive practice by not preordering and voting with your wallet. Let them earn your money, so “they can feel a sense of pride and accomplishment”.

Hey everyone,

To set a quick expectation, I'm an absolute Linux noob. I'm comfortable with running commands in CLI and can do basic stuff, but the advanced things I'll learn over time.

I installed Pop_OS on a separate nvme drive in my PC. My PC that I built also has Windows, but that's on a completely different nvme drive. The drive for Linux is dedicated just to Linux only. I chose Pop because I'm a gamer and heard it's the most approachable.

I've noticed that my Pop OS is pretty laggy and slow. When it comes to opening up any windows, opening the Pop shop, etc, it performs bad and frequently I get the "Pop Shop not responding" error on open that prevents me from using it.

Are there any tips to diagnose this or some setting that's buried in CLI that I can run? I've checked all the GUI settings and everything appears to be set correctly. I have the latest most available GPU driver, latest version of Pop, I sudo apt update/upgrade everything on there, and still it lags and is slow.

Is there a possible power management restriction that I need to override?

I'm quite lost so I appreciate the suggestions. I have 0 issues with my windows installation - all games run fine, OS is buttery smooth. I want to switch to Linux but this problem just frustrates me and I can't figure it out by searching online.

Specs:

  • CPU - Intel i7 12700K
  • GPU - MSI RTX 3080 Gaming Z Trio (10 GB)
  • Storage - Samsung 970 M2. nvme (Linux drive), Samsung 980 M2 nvme (Windows drive)
  • Memory: Corsair DDR4-3600 (XMP on, set to 3600 Mhz in Bios)
  • Mainboard: MSI PRO Z690-A (latest Bios)
  • Case: Corsair 5000d airflow
  • CPU Cooler: Noctua D15
  • Fans: Lian Li 3 front intake, 2 rear exhaust. Fan orientation is correct and speeds are set for positive pressure.

EDIT: Forgot to mention a year ago I had tried out both Ubuntu, and then Pop. I didn't really see much issues with Ubuntu. I've reinstalled Pop on multiple drives (including some standard old SSDs) and the issue persists.
