  • What are these “most basic, essential” tasks you’re struggling with? Outside of trying to get Discord to screen share nicely with Baulders gate 3 and the one time I accidentally overwrote the python 3 install and broken it, it has been pretty pain free. And I code with both .NET and with Android Studio, I do plenty of gaming, and some photo editing. All things beyond the most basic of tasks and I rarely run into issues.

    Have I broken a Linux install? Yep. But I’ve also bricked a handful of Windows systems poking around in the registry.


  • The idea is that “you can’t break the system” and you have snapshots you can roll back to in case you do. Which is all well and fine. I think there’s a whole lot of xkcd 2501 going on. As a baseline I don’t even think many people who play games are very comfortable poking in ini config files, and you want them to write configs for their entire system? Don’t forget you shouldn’t blindly copy scripts from the internet without understanding them first as well!









  • Most laws are based in reducing human suffering, including religious text. Don’t use chemical weapons? Yeah, cool. Gurgling on your own intestines sounds like a pretty sweet thing to not have to worry about. Most of the 10 commandments are little more than “don’t be a dick of a human”. But religion has a way of taking it too far and instead start increasing suffering. Waging wars because the land is “rightfully” theirs. Honour killings because they love the wrong person. Enriching themselves at the cost of others, justifying it by saying god is rewarding them for their loyalty.

    LGBTQ+, feminism, BLM and so on are there to reduce suffering and grant humans the rights they deserve. If a queer judge is biased towards not making their fellow queer people suffer more, then I don’t see a problem with that. If a judge has a bias towards continuing genocide, then yeah, there’s an issue.
