We aren't saying they do. What we are saying is that the system discourages good cops to the point most are forced to leave. You would have realized this if you weren't blinded by your own axe to grind.

Except that literally everyone who has empathy does selective empathy, even if not intentionally. You also can't really form an in-group and out-group mindset without empathy. Like if there was no empathy at all bigotry wouldn't be nearly as big.

My guy still thinks bigotry is caused by lack of empathy. It's actually selective empathy that helps encourage bigots.

Since that is not true, you don't.

Except in America it seems that's the exact case. Maybe not in other countries.

HDR is awesome if you have the right hardware. I've never seen a movie look so good. Someone needs to get HDR working.

You're the one making a radical claim here. What's your experience?

areyouevenreal , 23 days ago to Technology in Tim Cook is “not 100 percent” sure Apple can stop AI hallucinations

Artificial neural nets no, but neural networks in general yes. Just because the computer version isn't like the real thing doesn't mean that humans do not use a type of neural network.

Do you have a better one?

You vastly misunderstand both what I am talking about, and how updates work on both Windows and Linux.

You don't press shut down and then get a blue updating screen that stops you from doing anything on Linux. Go and update a Linux system and you will see what I am talking about. You run it just like a normal command or program.

Also yes they update the files on the drive while the system is running.

No Windows doesn't do atomic updates in the background, that's why there is the whole installing updates screen on reboot or shutdown.

Yeah that's actually a valid point. More distros should use newer kernels for hardware support reasons, to improve the OOB experience.

It wasn't what you said before though was it? I don't think that was me not getting the point so much as you changing what you said.

Installing drivers on Windows used to be quite common, still is common for some devices, and it's actually often easier to install drivers on Linux than it is on Windows. So I don't think it's too unreasonable to make people install drivers or kernel using an included utility.

Very common setup sadly, actually the second laptop I have had like this. I can't imagine AMD + Nvidia is much better though, as Intel graphics has great support on Linux. KDE was probably a better bet, and I would have to change distro to get KDE 6.

areyouevenreal , 28 days ago to Technology in Microsoft to test “new features and more” for aging, stubbornly popular Windows 10

I do a lot more than browse email.

Also you seem to have lost track: new hardware is only really a problem with distros like Debian and Ubuntu. Even then you can make it work by adding a newer kernel - I actually did this to run Ubuntu on a brand new machine.

CPU and GPU companies put a lot of effort to make their latest stuff work with Linux, but that only holds true on recent kernels. Intel WiFi will also work fine, again on newer kernels. The issue is companies like Broadcom, and distros with old kernels.

Elementary OS probably isn't what I want either.

Are you talking about a desktop? I am on a laptop with Intel iGPU and Nvidia dGPU. The battery life in Windows isn't great, but it actually seems worse in Pop OS. I did actually catching it using the dGPU when it shouldn't be. Obviously Nvidia doesn't help things, and I am glad it works as well as it does. Still it's kind of sad. I might buy a second laptop just so I can have battery life that isn't horrible.

Cosmic desktop from my understanding will have a better implementation of the hybrid graphics mode to stop this nonsense.

areyouevenreal , 28 days ago to Technology in A PR disaster: Microsoft has lost trust with its users, and Windows Recall is the straw that broke the camel's back

It varies. I struggle with its interface personally. I also had to force it to switch to Wayland to get some things working reliably. The hybrid graphics mode has issues too using the GPU when it doesn't need to. Other than that it works reasonably well out of the box, though you still occasionally have to deal with headaches from apt. A lot of the issues will hopefully be fixed when the cosmic desktop is ready. Some more can be fixed if they end up going immutable, which I believe they are working on right now. The Ubuntu version is also kinda old.

Personally I would rather be on NixOS or Fedora right now, or UBlue's Aurora. I am probably not a good candidate to be running something like Pop OS though. I am too experienced and my needs and wants are too complex for the poor thing.
