Fuck the haters, OP.

They will thank you for your experiment & sacrifice when they have to resort to printing these. When the only weapon left against the fascists, that confiscated all weapons, is this.

They work just fine.

The only thing that does not work is just binding meta only akin to win key to open the start menu for example.

Arrow Lake

Why would anyone curse themselves with that though?

Maybe I’m missing something but I am running xfce4 and have per-monitor refresh rate setting.

Q: how do you remain competitive against your competitors if those have the backing of an entire nation behind them?

A: you don’t.

Weird that it’d be random when they could just ask every user. Would give a more accurate breakdown on certain categories.

How do I take the survey? I never seem to get the popup.

You embrace the Gospel of Truth from Sloppily Generated Arch Jesus.

Looks like there’s still something you can try, brother.

Are you in Brazil?

Damn, the down votes. People really don’t get sarcasm on the internet eh?

And why would the process not show up in top?

Is the country of Linus beholden to sanctioning those countries?

Dunno. But this post is about Linus Torwalds booting Russians from an open source project due to their association with a warmongering regime. It’s nothing to do with the US.

Ah yes. The Finnish CIA.

All advice here seems to focus on linux, but I’d say rip that bandaid off first. Go cold turkey on roblox. That shit is the worst cancer to come out of something that was fun initially.

Not in four months to a year. Yesterday. Learn to control your impulses first and the rest will fall into place, whichever way you go.

Honestly, I’ve just switched (after 27 years of windows) like two months ago, and I don’t miss any of that old crap. Not once have I thought “damn, wish I could have this software under Linux”, because there was always an alternative.

Arch btw.

I have a gtx 670 from 12 years ago and nouveau is incredibly slow for me. I need to use the proprietary driver.

When I did this quitting thing from MMOs and FOMO inducing gachas that you describe, I suddenly

• got a non-dead-end job
• got a girlfriend
• got a promotion
• travelled around Europe
• girlfriend died
• travelled around Europe some more
• got another girlfriend
• ended up in Canada
• got married
• got kids
• stuck in dead-end job again without promotion for the past five years

I still think it was worth it to quit though. My mind just gets stimuli from the seemingly simplest things, like looking at a beautiful tree on the roadside, brutalist architecture, interesting conversations that I focus on instead of my mind wandering onto the next mount or raid boss I will have to tackle.

And when it comes to gaming, if I want to satisfy my itch for twitch and a bit of adrenaline, roguelites scratch it the best, without the long term commitment to playing them for days or even hours.

But what works best to keep sanity is exercise, and with riding a road bike at least twice a day I can combine elevated heart rate with zoning out and Zen for stress relief really well. It’s simply meditative.

I think of the twelve years I’ve spent playing MMOs fondly, lots of memories were made. But I would never do it again. And it has nothing to do with self-control, and willpower to not start it again, although quitting cold turkey definitely required both. But it had everything to do with the realization that it’s a trap that’s a poor substitute for real life, even if real life has dealt you shitty cards.

I can spot the hazy, reality-disconnected look of addicts from a mile away. The self-deluding statements when the topic somehow gets brought up. And I can do nothing but feel a bit sad for them, and hope that somewhere, someone manages to gently nudge them on a path that helps them escape from this trap.
