That rabbit's dynamite!

Sure, and to be clear I mean a liberty and peace that includes everyone that has historically been marginalized and abused by this nation's governments and by people who think they're superior to everyone else.

The problem with a melting pot (particularly one that was started by murdering and stealing land from a continent's worth of indigenous people) is that it puts bigots right next to the people they hate.

The benefit of a melting pot is that if the incoming generation can avoid being programmed into hatred by their parents, society trends toward true equality and equity.

I'm trying to maintain optimism that this current extreme escalation is the flailing death throes of a generation raised into bigotry and self-aggrandization, and that we'll come out the other side of this being a better society (the younger generations today are so much more openly altruistic and progressive on the whole).

In a sane world, any one of the atrocities would be enough to put a stop to these people.

In a realistic world, shining a light on all these different atrocities would be sufficient to convince enough people to protest/threaten the power of the spineless patricians who refuse to convict and remove the fascists from power. For example if Billy Bob the redneck says "I'm fine with kidnapping brown people but fiddling kids is too far!" then Epstein might convince him to support impeachment/removal.

In the current clown world we live in, nothing that the fascists say or do will un-brainwash their base, and somehow that's enough to prevent everyone else from making a cohesive stand against the evil.

So to answer your question: no, it's not worse. It's a desperate attempt to make something start tipping the scale back toward liberty and peace.

Or the second, or the ninth, or the 73rd, or the 512th, or the 2861st...

I'm not saying it's suitable for someone trying to be a professional fortnite player, but it's perfectly playable without noticeable latency.

Fortnite is free on GeForce now (I think for X hours per day/session), and fully unrestricted on Luna if you already have prime.

End of the day it lets me enjoy spending time playing a game with my kids that they love, and doesn't cost me anything or require me to dual boot. It's not for everyone but it's an option for some.

I'm not sure if there's functionally any difference, but technically yes it's not running "on" Linux.

My experience is exactly the same as it would be on Windows so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Nope, I decided to go straight into the deep end a couple years ago. I tried out a few different distros, ran Bazzite for a good while but was having issues with openvpn and my workplace's old-ass endpoint, switched to Fedora + Plasma and haven't touched windows at home ever since. Still have to deal with it at the office but at least that's not my problem to manage.

Homelab runs debian pretty much exclusively, which is stable and reliable.

It runs just fine with Chrome + an extension to spoof a Windows user agent + either Amazon Luna or GeForce Now. Probably any other "play remotely in browser" service as well, but those are the ones I've used.

For what it's worth I also played with this method when I was running Windows, because I don't want to install a rootkit just to play a kids game.

Meanwhile, me running Fedora 24/7 and still playing Fortnite just fine with my kids: 🌕👀

and it let me bring my own RAM and NVME, which really helped close the price gap.

not any more 😭

Tell me you don't understand how Signal's E2E mechanism works without telling me you don't understand how Signal's E2E mechanism works.
