He literally admitted to posting to trigger people. I’m stating fact that by doing so he’s being a dick. The motives of the person matters and he came in here with the purpose of pissing people off.

Clearly it worked for some.

Edit: the linux-company thing is just for triggering people, sorry I didn’t know it was this effective.

So you’re a dick. Got it.

ulkesh , 1 month ago to Technology in Novel attack against virtually all VPN apps neuters their entire purpose

So basically don’t be stupid when on a network you don’t control. I mean I would think that would be common sense by now. Just because you’re on a VPN doesn’t mean that the local network doesn’t have some semblance of capabilities.

And maybe I read it wrong, but perhaps don’t use DHCP on a network you don’t control. Wouldn’t that wholly mitigate this?

I get that this is concerning for people who don’t know any better. But I don’t think it’s as devastating as the title makes it sound.

ulkesh , 1 month ago to Asklemmy in Why are 80% of the elements metallic? I get that they ARE, but WHY?

Some people don’t like to read, and/or don’t like truth and facts spoken/written to them. So they take offense to logic and reason, which is what you had in your answer.

Asking for and/or expecting unpaid volunteers is most definitely not valid.

If he wants to pay them properly, then I would agree.

Much more likely it’s a doctored photo just to make the joke. Either way, it’s sad.

You’re on beehaw, and are spouting that Trump/FOX-level inferiority complex bullshit?

Either you’re trolling and/or joking…or you can rightly fuck off.

Well I guess I’m done with SO now.

ulkesh , 1 month ago to Linux Gaming in I'm giving Linux gaming a shot, but I've run into a couple display issues

I recently bought an AMD card just to not have to deal with Linux NVIDIA nonsense anymore. I know not everyone can be in a situation that allows them to do this. But if you can, and if you don’t want to wait on the hope that all the NVIDIA issues will be resolved when explicit sync finally hits all the distro repos and the NVIDIA driver (it’s going to still take some months), I’d advise going AMD.

I’ve had nothing but buttery smoothness since switching, running Wayland with two displays at different refresh rates, and gaming works phenomenally well with no frame loss that I can tell and no stuttering/tearing.

If you are more patient than I and continue with NVIDIA, I wish you all the luck and hope the trickling in of the various fixes and libraries and drivers happen rapidly.

ulkesh , 1 month ago to Science in Boeing is getting ready to send astronauts into space with their latest capsule

Yep, he’s not anywhere near the visionary, the inventor, or the genius that he has made sure surrounds his persona in media.

He got handed money, invested it, and got lucky twice. A monkey could do that with a couple of levers.

I believed the hype as well, for quite some time. Then I listened to the bullshit he was saying and realized he’s just a copy of Donald Trump or Rupert Murdoch — people who happen to have money and are able to fool millions of other people that they’re intelligent because they happen to have money.

ulkesh , 1 month ago to Linux in What is your unbiased opinion on Manjaro?

It does! But I recently gave Bazzite a try...yeah I'm not ready for this so-called atomic distro (it's based on Fedora). I'm now, for the moment, settled on Garuda Linux (based on Arch). I'm liking it thus far, but if anything goes awry, I may head back to Manjaro. Garuda is much closer to Arch prime (running 6.8.9 linux-zen kernel where Manjaro is on 6.6.x still). And the chaotic-aur is actually kinda nice. Time will tell if I stick with it!

I’m pretty sure many on the left know quite well that Trump and his followers are all pieces of shit.

Ah, Lunduke. No thanks.

Glad I dumped Windows in favor of an OS that doesn’t suck.
