When I was a kid I thought the “for which it stands” in the national anthem was in reference to a country called “witchistan”, which was presumably full of witches.

You’re rockstar. Are you going to give up on all steam sales for all your games, or your shitty launcher?

I’ve never met anyone like that in person, but some people genuinely believe it.

I’m just hoping we can sort things out before it gets as bad as Nazi Germany was. Maybe I’m being overly optimistic, but having a defeatist attitude certainly won’t help our chances.

Honestly we were screwed long before now, but yes. Its going to be a slow decline into fascism until we collectively wise up. I do think there’s a real possibility of that happening, but its going to take a lot of work.

This is the leader of a country, not a professional wrestler. He doesn’t need to look like anything. He needs to be careful how he negotiates, to obtain as much aid as he can. I don’t think you do that by acting like you’ve been given nothing, when the continued existence of your nation hinges entirely on the support of NATO.

Don’t tell me what I’m trying to do. This is ridiculous. You can say it seemed like that’s what I was trying to do, or that you misunderstood me. But respectfully, fuck off with that.

I know what I meant and what I said. Zelensky did not make an effective argument. That’s where the conversation ends. No looking down on anyone.

I’m tired of not being able to voice even the slightest bit of a disagreement with zelensky just because his country was invaded.

Every single time people just assume I’m anti Ukraine, because they can’t fathom the idea I would criticize something that I overall agree with. Its fucking ridiculous.

Because he described it as 'Ukraine’s army that stopped Russia–not a NATO country, not NATO troops, but our people and army."

He said ONLY our people and our army. That is incorrect. Russia was stopped by the Ukrainian people using equipment and money given to them by NATO countries. That is the reality he did not acknowledge.

And again, I never said anything about what NATO should or should not be doing. That is a different conversation entirely.

Regardless, Ukraine wouldn’t still exist in the form it does now without NATO’s support. That is a simple fact, it cannot be argued. My point has nothing to do with what Ukraine has or hasn’t done, or what NATO should or should not be doing.

Literally all I have said is that Zelensky did not describe the situation well. Im not even trying to use this as an indicator of his character or intelligence as a leader. This isn’t a hot take, it really doesn’t deserve this much discussion.

I’m not in any way trying to “look down on” Ukraine. I am criticizing a statement because I believe it wasn’t an effective way to make an argument.

He undercuts his own point by not acknowledging the reality of the situation. It is a mistake not to mention the crucial role NATO has played in Ukraine’s defense.

Only his people and his army… funded by NATO countries. I’m sorry but you can’t act like you’ve been getting no support here. Ukraine would be a Russian puppet state right now if it weren’t for foreign aid.

How can people figure out email, but lemmy is just too complicated?

He didn’t create PayPal. He co-founded x.com, and was replaced as ceo for being inexperienced in less than a year. x.com later merged with confinity, which operated PayPal. It was at this point that musk returned as CEO, until he got kicked out again in 2000.

Thank you, this seems like the best solution. Unfortunately, both of my spare GPUs are dvi-d, so I will still have to buy one.

I would prefer performance vaguely similar to a dirt cheap card from 2014, nothing crazy. And that isn’t a necessity, I just want to maintain most of the functionality it already has.

If I remember correctly the board does have a spare pci slot, so how would I go about running two cards in parallel?

Image quality and delay.

If you move them off your boot drive, you should be fine. Linux has support for windows file systems.

Gross to me that multiple comments here are ignoring this reality. Crimes committed by men against women in situations like that are so common that women aren’t protecting themselves unless they consider every unfamiliar man a potential threat.

Obviously women can also commit crimes against men, but its so much less common that I don’t have to take precautions to protect myself against them.

As a man it kind of sucks when you are assumed to be dangerous even when you aren’t, but you need to get over it. Its not worth it for women to compromise their safety, and assume you to not be a threat just to make you feel better.

You mean women are also capable of committing crimes? I’m gonna need some more sources for an outlandish take like that.
