I’m not interested in my computer striking a balance between my needs and the needs of people seeking to manipulate me into buying things.

I paid for my computer, it serves my needs. Yes I do run Linux, how did you guess?

Born too late to watch the collapse of the Russian empire, born too early to watch the collapse of the Russian empire, born just in time to watch the collapse of the Russian empire.

Nobody went and flipped the breaker for the jacuzzi? People like that obviously need practice dealing with inconveniences.

Mint 22 would be straightforward, at least: https://linuxmint-user-guide.readthedocs.io/en/latest/upgrade-to-mint-22.html

Mint 21.3 might be a bit too ‘stable’ for your new GPU.

Linux graphics move fast. You generally won’t have a good experience with an older distro and a brand new GPU.

The devs have been working hard to hammer out those troublesome edge cases. There’s a lot less of them than there was a year or two ago.

IIRC Nvidia needs explicit sync support to work reliably. It’s fairly new and might not have landed in some distros, especially the stable releases.

Russia’s actual nuclear policy has been “fire nukes if Putin says so” for decades. This paperwork doesn’t represent a real change.

No, it’s the opposite - they’re saying that this isn’t a change in Russia’s behaviour.

IPv6 has privacy addresses, though. Stuff on my network generates a new random address every day and uses that address for outgoing connections, so you can’t really track individual devices inside my network.

IPv6 has a policy of throwing more address space at stuff to make routing simpler, though.

IPv4 will individually route tiny slices of address space all over the world, IPv6 just assigns a massive chunk of space in the first place and calls it a day.

Or you can mess with the player. Someone turns up chasing them for child support.

I bought this iron, mounted it hot side up in a vise and made a toasted cheese sandwich on it and the cheese melted and got inside the iron. The cheese caught fire and set off my fire alarms. One star.

I mean, it was probably dinner time. No grand conspiracy behind that one.

If you still have your job, you can start on Factorio mods.

Mate, you’re agreeing with him. He’s saying lots of drivers are terrible.

Are you saying people would tell lies?! On the internet?!

Plot twist: Dad knows about the monster in the woods and that’s why he wants to make sure anon gets home on time.

As a large language model, I don’t have an opinion on this subject.
