  • Well if I take it as a serious point, I dont see still how its useful to bring it up. We can’t change our natural impulses, only how we react to them. Following a vegan diet is no more challenging physically or mentally than managing a regular diet if you have the same goals.

    Its akin to saying that a mans nature makes it difficult not to sexually assault women. While technically true, it has nothing to do with identifying problems and creating solutions.

    I’m struggling to find any good reason to bring up natural instinct besides as an excuse.










  • I have not had issue running any old game on both Ubuntu and arch, there are emulators for dogs and 3d0 and all sorts of stuff.

    My wife wanted to play one of those myst-for-kids games with cartoon graphics, kings quest 7. Works great so far, can’t speak for every game of course. Theres a cool app called Emubox I think tries to make it easy to make an all-in-one emulator launcher, I made one of my machines essentially dedicated to it with like 2 tb of games from the 80s to the 2010s.


  • They are expecting linux to be honest. If a change is made there likely will be open documentation and discussion about it.i

    I really dont think the OP is making a point about buggy software, they even repaired their windows boot after fixing the linux one, despite not needing the windows one.

    We dont want software that is deceptive and antagonistic, and tries to steal whatever it can by calling it free.

  • Dudes just saying you can be deceptive without intending it. Its not the craziest idea is it?

    To avoid abusing the sunk cost fallacy, it would be best to tell the dad that is not the correct rate, and to please reach out to their friend with the correction.

    No chance of someone feeling like they might as well choose youre higher rate because they are already talking to you.

    What you call manipulating words is just a different perspective, neither of us is breaking any laws, and this is absolutely about morals. Your perspective apparently is that none of thus warrants any moral consideration at all. I disagree.

    Of course noones trying to stop you, we are talking about why you use something and I wont, thats it. If you only care about what benefits you personally, of course youll butt heads with people who choose to apply a different methodology for what is good or bad. What was your point in even commenting on here, just fear you’d lose your new tool?


  • Creating art for yourself is a fiction. Doing nearly anything for yourself is a fiction. As much as some feel they prefer to be alone, noone lives in a bubble.

    When you talk about barriers to entry for art, you really mean high quality art. Sure, perfectionists will be able to outdo their outsized expectations of themselves, briefly. The barriers to making art have been incredibly low for all of human history if you really are talking purely about the cost to begin making art. You and I can start cresting art with our hands right now. How much lower can the barriers be?

    It seems to me you would find it easier to work on your perspective that prevents you from enduring the failure required to learn high quality art than to advise we steal all art globally and historically, combine it into a program using the energy of a large nation, and present it to you at your home over the internet.

    But like you said, we all have our perspectives on what is important.
