I guess, no one NEEDS a video streaming platform.

Nobody NEEDS social media, but when a social media does something harmful, they need to be regulated.

That'd be well and good if they didn't have a monopoly.

Getting shot in your own home during a no knock raid isn't a culture problem.

many of which wirh anti cheat, it’s not worth making the switch just yet.

I get that. Shit like that is the only reason I stick with a dual boot.

Also, I got a NAS recently with OpenMediaVault and I only have the time to tinker with one thing at a time :P

I also get that. My self hosted gaming server can be a bit of work sometimes.

Any advice on the switch though, or tools you use lmk!

Two things, I'd go with Linux Mint Debian Edition if I we're you. I've found it to be the most compatible with my games, (like 9 out of 10 or so), and have had zero major issues/glitches with it. Plus it avoids the drauam surrounding ubuntu.

The second thing is to keep a separate "home" partition for your documents/pictures/game saves/etc. Mine is [Name]_STC, with the acronym being a nod to wh40k's Standard Template Constructs. The idea being it isn't named something generic like "home", or worse using the home folder.

And anytime I need to back up shit, I just zip the whole partition and put it on a separate drive. If something happens, I copy my standard template construct.

if they don’t serve a purpose, then where are we supposed to live when we’re only staying in a place for a few months or years?

A non-market housing unit. Basically, a non-profit org that only charges the actual cost of the housing & maintenance.

Good. Now make it work for everyone's tax situation.

For sure, that is still a big part of this.

But a blanket statement pointing to cyclists as the source of the problem is just ridiculous.

The solution for large scale behavioral problems isn't telling loads of people to do better, it's systemic change, and in this case that means infrastructure for safe biking. That includes traffic calming measures, separated and protected bike lanes, regulation to reign in vehicle sizes and weight, etc.

Agreed. I have zero regret.

I have no horse in this race, but the fact that you're being communicative and taking any responsibility means you're probably a better mod than most. Admittedly, it's a low bar but still.

Probably best not to do it again though.

Your argument relies on hordes of people suddenly, magically changing their behavior in a cohesive and coordinated way. Have fun with that.

Both matter. We need to do both.
