Every generation comes of age with the opportunity to make the world (THEIR world) how they want it to be. But no generation really does. Don’t like Late Stage Capitalism, then when you hit 21, vote the old men out who hold your world beholden to it. Every generation has that ability, and yet every generation seems to have less voter engagement than the last. That’s on them…not the system.
Yes. It’s called empathy.
You may not have a vested interest in the particular story, but the very act of someone that you care about (presumably) being excited about something should at least bring some sort of good feeling to you. When people I care about are enjoying something, it makes me happy. So while their kid pictures, or vacation pictures or whatever might not be interesting to me, the fact that they care enough about me to want to SHOW them to me, should give you a warm feeling.
That being said, no…I’m not going to dunk for not feeling that. It’s different from person to person certainly; and I (and here I’m going to revert to my “old man yells at clouds” mode) feel like modern friendships are just different. We are suddenly in an age where having a few close friends has been replaced with having a tonne of “shallow” friends that you meet online. They’re still “friends”, but beyond texting and playing together online, you never see each other, never get closer than that. And certainly it would be a different feeling entirely. But the cadre of close friends that I made while working at Sears in 1998, and who I still talk to almost every day and see regularly, of COURSE I’m going to care.
Keeps jumping to the latest kernel instead of the latest stable release.
Blames nvidia for not keeping up…
I’ve been on Manjaro for years and have literally NEVER had your issue. Why, because I don’t just automatically change to the latest kernel and then wonder why shit doesn’t work.
After an update, it’ll tell me if a newer kernel is available, I’ll look at it and if its a new stable release I’ll change to it with no issue because an NVIDIA update was likely included with that update.
Stop forcing early adoption on your computer and then blaming others when it fucks up your shit.

Das Boot is required viewing.
The Enemy Below is a really great movie too.
and The Hunt for Red October and K-19 are great films if your interested in modern nuclear submarines.

Aren’t there alternative file explorers for Windows? Or did support for that kind of thing end with Windows 7?
Intentionally?
Teacher: “What is best in life?”
Students (In Unison): “To crush your enemies. See them driven before you. And hear the lamentations of their women.”
Okular is great. Kate is amazing. Kdenlive is BY FAR the most advanced FOSS video editor. I’d easily put Kdenlive above Krita, but that’s because of my particular use case.
All the way back to Dumb and Dumber. (Yes I’m old).
So you’re saying there’s a job opening…
JD Vance was forced in as the Trump VP pick by the Heritage Foundation so that when Trump either dies or stops cooperating with them on Project 2025, they already have a man in place to take over. And that’s likely the reason for the assassination attempts.
If Trump dies, they get Vance (a true believer…unlike Trump who just wants the power to stay out of prison) at the top of the ticket.
The rational person in me knows that IQ as a metric of intelligence has long since been proven to be bullshit pseudoscience.
But the anti-american in me is just going to turn that part of my brain off and chuckle for a few moments…
I kind of don’t want to know, because the real answer would probably be terrifying.
I’m honesty sitting here trying to remember the last Ubisoft game I actually enjoyed. And I mean truly “couldn’t put down” enjoyed. Some of the older Assassin’s Creed games were fun, but the same endless gameplay loop was meh, even then.
I’d almost have to go back all the way to those original Rainbow Six games for something that felt (to me) fresh and innovative.
You mean making the exact same cookie-cutter game loop for more than a decade isn’t a good idea!?
