From a benchmark perspective this has shown to be false in some or many areas.

A great lot of good those benchmarks are going to to when your game doesn't run AT ALL. This is such a non-argument it's not even funny at this point.

It's great to be an open source advocate, but this argument crosses the line into zealotry. It has very little basis in the reality of things.

Do I want Microsoft to die a quick and painful death? Absolutely. Is Linux the superior choice in all situations -- absolutely not.

If that number were 15% or so I'd agree.

So if they exist on OSX, then Windows doesn't have a bastion on them.

Did you miss the qualifier "that uses explosive charges"? The engineering challenge is in the explosive part.

Use whatever works for you. Linux can be a pain in the ass sometimes. If your moral fiber isn't strong enough to override your need for sanity, sometimes you just need to use what has the path of least resistance.

If you're using it mostly for gaming, Windows is going to be the superior choice. Microsoft has just simply ensured that lock-in. Things are certainly changing, thanks to Valve; but don't feel afraid to try Linux out without dumping your whole life into it. Get a SBC (Single board computer) and run some Linux services on it - IRC bouncers, mail servers, buy a domain name and practice reverse proxies, virtual machines, etc.

There is room for both...until you've decided that Microsoft has stepped over that line you've drawn in the sand; then you can convince yourself to dive headlong into Linux full-time.

Regardless, Linux has already won. It runs the internet. It runs near every network device you own. You probably even have Linux running on something you had no idea was running it; Cameras, lower levels of consumer devices, etc. If the only bastion that Windows still has is Gaming...I think we're doing pretty good.

Projectiles are a part of human nature. We've always thrown spears, rocks, etc -- firearms are just an extension of our better understanding of the world. I know of barely anything else that uses explosive charges that is as widely applicable to the general public. Roofing nail guns? But that's such a niche subject, it's not something people are really worried about trying to make with 3D printing. Believe me, if I had a better engineering challenge for 3D printing, I'd be suggesting it. But nothing quite hits like containing an explosive charge, and utilizing the energy in a way that performs work without destroying itself.

I used to run the 3D printing community on G+ at around 500k strong, (about 10k weekly active users according to Google's stats) and I ended up actually pissing off a lot of my European users because of this. My viewpoint on it, was as an engineering exercise -- it's an amazing thing. It's not advocating for guns, and guns aren't only used to kill other people. So I stood up for the guys posting about their engineering challenges, and their work making 3D printed parts for a machine with high impact loads and loads of cycling issues.

Unfortunately, it lost me some friends, like Gina Haubage and Tomas Sanladerer -- as they disagreed highly; and wanted to ban anyone posting firearms related 3D printing content.

It's not illegal to tell people that a company uses discord for support. You're not slandering them if it's the truth.

getting support for some services that I use

NAME AND SHAME please.

kitnaht , 1 month ago to linuxmemes in let's see what is documented for the proxy...

I hate the non-static world of the web as it exists today, so I just pre-gen static HTML pages and serve them direct from Caddy; or reverse proxy some other service that's running its own delivery method. Jellyfin, Sonarr, Radarr, etc -- none of them need a "proper" web server running in front of them.

Nothing to note about Trickplay sadly :(

I mean, they've been all over Reddit running accounts for decades at this point, no? At this point I feel like 75% of my interactions on mainstream sites are going to be from foreign agents and/or bots.
