Thanks, I’m new to Linux so don’t understand the process. How long until a stable release typically?

Oooh this sounds awesome! How long does it typically take to get pushed out to the distros? I’m using Nobara at the moment.
Bro - sounds like you missed an opportunity to dual boot!
We can change societies in a few ways to reduce the number of people that reach her situation. That’s going to take a very long time. Another thing that could be done is creating a plan for people in her situation. I think this will happen in the future (and will impact society in general). It has to do with the use of psychedelics. It may sound crazy to some, but I’d recommend we give people like this some shrooms, then escalate that to something like Ayahuasca and then DMT. If she still feels like nothing is worth it at that point, so be it, but I believe she’d change her mind on this path and have the potential to live a much happier life. This comment may seem extreme now, but looking back, I don’t think it will be.
Ah, I see. No problem. You’d have to switch back and forth in that case or have two of the exact same TVs to compare at the same time. (Some sets do a better or worse job of up-scaling). You’d also have to take into account viewing distance from the TV. At a certain distance it won’t matter, but as you get closer, it matters more and more. There are view distance calculators available online to help with that.
I don’t think so because you’re not forcing the 1080p video to be upscaled since it’s stuck with 1920 x 1080 pixels in my example.
Start with a 4K screen. Play a 4K video in VLC. Keep it in windowed mode but make it as big as you possibly can on your screen. Fire up the same video but at 1080p quality. Force that window to be 1920 x 1080 in size. There will be some overlap of the windows, but you can look at the non-overlapped parts and directly compare the video. You can also alt-tab back and forth. Not perfect, but it should give you a pretty good idea. Others - feel free to chime in if this is a good idea or not. I think that so long as the 1080p window is locked in at 1920 x 1080 then it won’t be up-scaled.
I think he’s right behind DeSantis in many ways. Right on his heels…
This comment made me think I accidentally posted on Reddit. My edit still stands (I was pretty confident it would for a while).
Black Friday purchases are a good idea. It tells corporations, “I’m willing to spend at this lower price point.”
Maybe try and cook your wife her favorite meal at home or just go out less often? If going out to eat is the only way to keep your wife happy then you could look elsewhere to cut costs if you need to.
I agree many things have gone up, BUT over the last couple years people kept purchasing without adjustment. I’ve adjusted my grocery purchases (and I’m a nerd who tracks this in spreadsheets) to the point where my monthly costs have gone up 4% over the last 3 years.
New vehicles have shot up in price and people were still waiting in line to buy more! Trillion+ in car loan debt in the U.S… Many of these folks could have bought a used car, fixed their old car, or just waited and purchased later. The numbers are there and support what I’m saying. I’m still driving a very old car (> 15 years old) because I think it’s idiotic to buy another one right now. It sucks, but better than blowing my hard earned cash. This is coming from someone who can afford to ignore interest rates and pay cash and I still won’t do it.
At the end of the day corporations will always be greedy, but only if they can. If people stop buying they can no longer be greedy (supply vs demand). We may be at the point now where people have over extended themselves so much that they simply can’t afford the dumb purchases anymore which means corporations have extracted the maximum from people’s wallets. Sad situation, but I blame both corporations and people.
What are YOU doing about it? Not Biden – YOU: the person reading this comment.
I can tell you my overall cost of living since 2020 has plummeted, not because I haven’t faced inflation like everyone else, but because I stopped spending on most extra things. For example: not eating out anymore, cancelled all streaming subscriptions, flexed what I eat based upon coupons and deals at the grocery store (still healthy), I drive much less, etc…
If you keep buying stuff when prices go up, this keeps demand high and, therefore, prices high.
Edit: So far people are saying they are doing nothing different… just continuing to blame corporations. It’s both greedy corporations and people’s fault. If the costs for basic goods and shelter go up, why wouldn’t you adjust?
The core of the issue also can include child custody, but I agree with you in that money is also a huge core issue.
I agree, but most customers are still buying. I haven’t liked any of the new offerings so I’m driving my old car and fixing it. If I had to buy, I’d go straight to the used market.
I mean, if we want to make up fairy tales… if they really wanted to get us they could just use drones. Good luck shooting one of those down with your guns when it unexpectedly breaks through a window and explodes!
That’s a good work around. You can also right click and “open in private window” and it will work just fine.
Definitely won’t last forever, but hard to say how long they have. Hoping things fall apart for them sooner vs later so we can actually have a functioning government.
I agree, but so far the extremists have been proven right. Their way or the highway has, so far, worked for them to get them to where they are at: minority rulers within their party.
That’s a good idea. Another one that may be effective is Google has AI process the video and they drop links in the text below the video based on company $. For example, Cool Shirts Inc. gives ad money to Google for their t-shirts. AI processes all new videos and checks for Cool Shirt Inc shirts. If the video has the shirt in it then this is added in text below the video, “Dig the creator’s shirt? Get it herer: link.to.shirt.com/buynow”. Non-intrusive, fairly good targeting and if I do like something in the video I can check there to purchase or look into it more.
Got it. Thanks for taking the time to explain!
