Well, I doubt the french ministry of education call them IEP or 504 (not everyone lives in the US, shocker), and anyway it simply doesn’t help if you are diagnosed loooong after the fact.

I’m sure spending close to two decades at school with nothing but pens and paper count as practice, right? Welp too bad it did nothing, my writing still sucked at uni.

I love how both streaming and blu-ray both made piracy the simpler solution by having ungodly amount of DRM that only screw over the paying customer (that don’t even work to stop piracy, by the way).

As some old gaming dude once said “Piracy is almost always a service problem” , said dude is now a billionaire by providing a correct service by the way.

Show me a steam or gog equivalent (ie just a platform that is not outright hostile to consumers) to buying movies and tv shows and my money is yours. In the meantime I’ll keep sailing the high sea.

What if I wondered, and questioned said digital device? One of the very reason I’m so much into computers is that I can actualy get shit done with them, give me a pen and a piece of paper and I’ll scribble totaly useless illegible shit, since that whole “hand eye coordination” simply never worked out for the decades I’ve been at school. On the other hand, I spent most of my free time since early childhood tinkering with those devious “digital devices”, I’m pretty sure I’m able to think by myself, my current linux distro didn’t magicaly appear by itself on my drive I guess.

As someone with troubles writing, screw you, having a computer in class would have made my whole education an order of magnitude less shitty. I’m downvoting you for your dumbass take, not for being an apple or google rep. (mostly the part about pens and papers, I agree on the part that big tech need to get bent too, and that no money should go in their pockets and probably should go somewhere else)

The biggest hurdle is streaming services’ DRM (something called widevine iirc) that just doesn’t work on linux, which limit you to low resolutions like 720p. There was some struggles between AMD and the HDMI consortium preventing them from shipping HDMI2.1 drivers, but that appears to be solved.

Somehow, it appears to already be packaged for fedora, I already tried it and it looks extremely promising while still being in beta.

Well… I did upgrade mine progressively, I don’t think it still has any original parts, maybe some sata cables? I was able to get a smaller pc offspring out of this, ended up as my nephew’s gaming rig, does it count as my old rig? are both the same rig? damn computer of theseus causing philosophical problems!

You jest, but a byte isn’t always 8 bits (well, nowaday it kinda is, de facto, but it wasn’t always like that). An 8-bit byte is called an octet, I don’t see it used much in english, but apparently it is used nonetheless, after a quick check. Since octets are the standard byte size, I suppose we could call them “metric bytes”.
