    the same freedom that affords him the ability to be a dumbass in public affords you the freedom to not be dead.

    though i do get the worries that come with the extremism spreading out.

    most social media anger is trying to fix problems that aren’t problems. meanwhile politicians get away not pivoting towards UBI. then we get more nationalists, and then we get more social media shitstorms. 😬 anyways, enjoy the ride everyone

    i don’t get what’s going on in this comment section - are we going to be mad at some code for what a person says on social media?

    i tried running Firefox on my 2018 budget phone and every https handshake takes 5 awkward seconds and it’s more like 0.5 seconds on brave. it’s open source, built in dark mode, and runs well for me. it’s not even a gut feeling thing, on Android this is objectively beating the competition within the privacy conscious space.

    i believe COVID is as natural and genuine as the historically evident spanish flu - but even if someone exists who is too stupid to get it, I’m happily enjoying the fact that he has nothing to do with me




  • one of the few upvoters here 😂 this is mostly not wrong. most people don’t give a shit, don’t be mad just because you don’t like the truth. however, I’m still gonna blame billionaires, or by extension anyone with the mindset of trying to become a rich person. all of these rats actively undermine democracy using highly effective lobby campaigns. you can only blame the plebs to some degree. they’re stupid but also too stupid to fix it. meanwhile most people with higher education have no sense of compassion and just afford themselves a few more blissful years. we’re cooked, guys, time to finish what you wanted to do in life and get ready for the bad days 😂


  • that’s true but i think compared to most other consoles nowadays it goes a very sustainable path. valve does nothing to prevent you from running gog games, which are true digital ownership at least. i know physical media are the most tangible option in the moment, but in the long run blurays for example actually have a limited lifespan








  • I’ll chime in with a weird take: this is a privacy community, we are united in a sense of defending our peaceful and unproblematic browsing on the internet and sending messages to friends from lunatics who seem to want everyone treated with the suspicion of highest criminal activity. the article posted describes a “privacy infringement” onto someone who not only has already broken the rule, but strongly publicized it by making people have to smell it. the perpetrators didn’t even have an expectation of privacy, so the premise is ridiculous.

    I’ll say it like this: if the tv detects nicotine patches on someone’s skin, then i pick up the torches and pitchforks.

    That’s precisely the SSD PCIe solution that I bought. ^^ Yeah, might have to redistribute… Thanks for letting me know about the compatibility listing, I wasn’t aware of it. I’ll check if I can get one of those second hand.

    Edit: I’m slightly worried about ASUS as a mainboard supplier though because of their recent rootkit escapades

    It’s a MSI X470 GAMING PRO. Tried both upper x16 slots. The second one seems to be x8, but the first one doesn’t work either despite being x16. I have other m.2 slots but they’re already used up - however those are smaller SSDs so worst case I could move my OS to a SATA drive and populate those m.2 slots with the larger and newer SSDs that i bought! 😂

    as x4/x4, but PLX would divvy it all up essentially 4x M.2 at x2/x2/x2/x2, that kinda thing. If this adapter doesn’t have it and you can’t get this to work, and you’re willing to blow another hundred bucks, that other kind of adapter would def work.

    Without knowing your motherboard I’d def download the manual and ctrl+f some promising keywords such as ‘bifurcation’ or ‘PCI’ and basically hunt for anything in the manual that describes settings to enable this. Sometimes on a 3 slot board the bottom ‘chipset’ slot can be toggled to run something different than PCH, like some other controller.

    I’d also try running the adapter in every possible configuration, on the most current supported PCI-E standards and a previous generation if motherboard allows, ie: adapter top slot, GPU middle slot, GPU top slot, adapter 3rd slot (if mobo has one), disable PCI-E 4.0 or enable 3.0 each time just to see if some configuration works (kinda tedious but costs 0 dollars so

    Thanks for the hints. I’ll try to put it in gen 3.0 mode and see if I get more settings there, good idea!
