  • Gun rights aren’t for stopping active mass shooting events. Gun rights are to protect yourself and you small circle of family because the police are always too far away.

    Active shootings are bad for regular people to try to stop because usually those people who do, end up being killed by the policemen they finally show up. A regular guy with a gun can never be expected to rush into a school to confront a shooter.

    A regular armed citizen will be charged with a crime if they stop a school shooter or any other spree shooter in a gun free zone.

    This data is disingenuous because they are plotting a unicorn event with a normal event to prove that Unicorns aren’t helpful. The question doesn’t make sense.






  • I’m glad I just setup Linux two weekends ago. It was simple to install all of my hardware worked well. I only miss a couple of minor features like the LED software and my overclocking software.

    And those really aren’t that big of a deal since I haven’t had a failure to play a game so far.

    It was at least 20 years since I tried Linux, and the changes are wild. I didn’t even choose a simple distro and haven’t even had too difficult of a time.




  • Well I spent Sunday night installing Manjaro and so far so good. It’s been almost 30 years since the last time I used Linux, and KDE Plasma is really easy to use.

    I decided to wipe my Win 10 drive so there was no going back. I was able to install and play games like normal, and I even used the command line to pull and build the Mullvad VPN App from the Arch store, and sign the app certificate.

    The best part was once I setup the steam libraries Steam pulled all the information from those drives and all my games that weren’t on my Windows SSD were ready to go. All of my peripherals just worked and the Nvidia driver was fine.

    I’m just missing some GOG Games, but Heroic should take care of that. Painless and simple.

    It’s amazing how much has changed in over 20 years.





  • I think the issue comes that it only syncs messages one way and doesn’t sync on deletions. Apple should have messages that are removed from all devices when removed from the phone, but it didn’t remove messages when deleted.

    Sure the guy is a moron for being a cheater and scumbag, but Apple should remove deleted messages. That’s a privacy problem with Apple’s sync. I don’t use Apple devices due to other Apple crap, but setting up iCloud sync should have a warning when items won’t be deleted and only will be downloaded to devices.

    Wasn’t an entire stupid movie about the horrible sync pitfalls in Apple devices premiered years ago?
