What is your motivation for believing? Really seems to me that people don’t believe in anything by default, and then are indoctrinated in some religion in their youth. They failed to indoctrinate me, which I suppose technically makes me an atheist but it’s really just not selecting some silly religion in my youth. www.reddit.com/r/AskRedd…
I never knew how bad at video games I was until my SO started watching me. That and discovering the game mode on my TV helped me improve dramatically. But in those moments where he’s frustrated, a little truth and levity might help www.reddit.com/r/gaming/…
The origins of GNOME3 were rooted in duplicating the common old Mac OS X setup with the dock hidden on the side, and a hot corner for expose. In this way, it’s a damn good take on the first truly good modern desktop. I’d go as far as to say that GNOME 41 is the best workstation desktop there is. www.reddit.com/r/linux/c…
Hardware compatibility largely comes down to your kernel version. The other major consideration is firmware, which some distros like Fedora can manage and update for you through tools like fwupdmgr, what firmwares are available largely depend on the package repos you are using. There’s also the ability to run some Windows WIFI drivers on Linux using ndiswrapper which can be useful if your wifi card doesn’t have native kernel support. Either way, it’s usually a good idea to look up your system on something like the Arch Wiki and check out compatibility and see if there are any changes you should make to improve compatibility.

I find working out in public a bit embarassing, this is like all of my fears put into one www.reddit.com/r/reddits…
As is often brought up, The Dominion thinks in terms of decades and centuries. In all likelihood, forcing a conflict immediately after contact is what saved The Federation. Otherwise, The Dominion would have had ample opportunity to prepare for a first strike. www.reddit.com/r/Daystro…
My guess is Fedora is using a newer kernel that supports your hardware better. Would probably see the same gains in the other distros if you aligned the configurations. www.reddit.com/r/Fedora/…
We do a lot of interviews, and a lot of times HR haphazardly throws them on a calender despitethe fact that we may be off that day, or with so little warning we don’t even realize it’s happening until after the fact. www.reddit.com/r/self/co…
The song starts taking a downward turn at ‘which seat do I take?’, getting a little too mundane for a pop song lol www.reddit.com/r/videos/…
While it’s still not a good movie, Evil Dead 2 feels like it shows significant growth over Evil Dead 1. It’s still a bad movie, but not as bad as the first, making the original a bit more entertaining so it doesn’t get a lot of credit. www.reddit.com/r/AskRedd…
The thing ChromeOS does better than Windows is run Chrome. My Pixel Slate running ChromeOS is better than any Surface for running Chrome. www.reddit.com/r/chromeo…
We have materials today that go from soft to rigid depending on the pressures applied to them. Perhaps it’s a helmet made from meta-materials? www.reddit.com/r/Stargat…
I have an XPS 7590 running Fedora 35 and it’s pretty solid. All the hardware works out of the box, except for the fingerprint scanner. Runs very quickly, is able to play games with Steam, WIFI works perfectly fine not sure where that critique came from. I too have a Bluetooth mouse, works just as you would expect. www.reddit.com/r/linuxha…
I thought it wasn’t the Borg logo technically, but the logo the freed Borg that Lore came to control used to identify themselves. I can’t recall the Borg ever flying colors outside of that one context. www.reddit.com/r/Daystro…
If he likes Cuphead then you can’t go wrong with the new Metroid www.reddit.com/r/Nintend…
He was handling a prop under controlled conditions, he had every expectation that it was safe, just as the people who told him to do it did, and those people got in front of the barrel. This whole thread is a joke, I simply do not believe that you guys don’t understand this concept. www.reddit.com/r/Liberta…
I think if I were in school I’d reduce it down to a single iPad or tablet anyways www.reddit.com/r/Liberta…
I think the productive way to think of this is that the writers are just trying to use Star Trek as a backdrop set dressing. They have no interest in the history of the universe. I find this a bit disappointing personally, but me and 10 other people care about such things. They do write a few tie-in episodes, but I think in basically all cases you could classify them as homages to specific concepts or key episodes.

I found that, lately, nostalgia can open the flood gates. But emotional distress just isn’t one of my triggers. I don’t know why, it just doesn’t activate that part of my mind. When I’m upset my mind usually just races. www.reddit.com/r/AskRedd…
If Star Trek is worth the investment then so is SG-1, I came to SG-1 after several rewatches of DS9 and TNG and now regard SG-1 as at least as good if not the best of the three. www.reddit.com/r/Stargat…
