Its so liberating to just accept this mindset everyhwhere. I personally feel so comfortable voting with my wallet I don’t even feel a sense of missing out anymore.

Yeah fuck this guys (OP, not the person I’m replying under) take. Hobbies need less gatekeepers and if I want to do research about gear, make nice purchases as a way to deepen my investment into the hobby so be it.

Example: I just got into fitness. I have almost no need for some of the products ive been buying, however through the research ive stumbled across some excellent articles and a few YouTube channels that inspire me. Even if the gear / gadgets do nothing more than inspire you to show up and try them out, its worked.

No idea, not the Dev and dont even know what product this is lol… Go read the thread 🤙

Read the thread they said they have provided appimage for years.

Agree on the flatpak part tho, that would have solved this issue.

Lol what?

In the short term, sure… But the reason its like this in the first place is because everyone takes the stance of not rocking the boat. I say throw em overboard.

And shit we’ve all been there, I had a coworker say some vile shit around me before and just let it slide because its easier. I’m in a different position these days and find keeping things secret / quiet only allows these issues to fester.

1. report them to HR for racist comments in the workplace.

2. report them for sexual harassment.

3 & 4) especially 4 just report to HR for having too many political comments on the floor.

All the stuff you listed is inappropriate and contributing the drama. You report it so that you can say “I’ve already made it known I’m not trying to have these conversations with you, please stop” and when they don’t you go back to step one till they get fired.

The alternative is to learn to accept your coworkers as they are, unprofessional or not, and not let their bullshit irritate you so much.

Not saying which is correct, but you have options.

Not wasting energy explaining this to you. You’re clearly incapable of engaging with a disagreement which has lead you to double down and move a few goalposts around.

All criticism of your original point was done respectfully, its really not my problem if you can’t just acknowledge you misspoke in the first post… Its downvoted like 20+ times man. What other evidence do you need that maybe you didn’t communicate your thoughts clearly.

Hey man don’t take it personal that we disagree with your original point…if you meant to say something else, fair enough, but we all posting / responding to the OP which was more broad than what you are saying now.

Additionally, my response was more about quality of materials which may incrue extra costs and had nothing to do with buying over priced designer stuff. I agree with your new point, but thats not what you said initially.

Yeah that’s a great way to get a quality pair of shoes! I’ve done similar… Or check out the lightly used rack at REI or something.

Agreed on point about special purpose footwear. However disagree with both you and OPs point about not investing in footwear and seemingly choosing options based at least mostly on cost.

Cheap footwear leads to a variety of other health / joint / posture issues that cost far more in the long run.

All new shoes are going to feel okay when you first get them. Something people forget is how a cheap shoe will degrade over time. Common example is soles wearing down unevenly because say the insole or outsole is made out of something cheap. Now you need to walk on a slightly uneven footing for months till you buy a new pair, thus furthering the damage created by ever other cheap pair of shoes you’ve bought over the years.

Shoes, tires, matress; dont skimp.

Dude you’re doxxing yourself…delete the post or edit the screen shot.

Yeah I mean, I didn’t say to gloat / flaunt. You can do what I suggested without making others feel small. False modesty is exactly what we are avoiding…genuine modesty is absolutely fine to run alongside my comment about being right sized and is the perfect antitode to the concern you started your post with.

And tbh the right sized thing has less to do with looks / status / wealth and more to do with how we see ourselves when doing a self assessment of character traits.

You’re fine, glad you got something out of it. It was told to me by someone who helped me through a pivotal time; happy to pass it on.

Humility is about being right sized. A lot of folks take this idea of humility as needing to lessen oneself for the sake of being “humble” when really we should be representing ourselves clearly and as objectively as possible.

They didn’t want to know about a specific game…they requested a place to find a list

50%?? Been daily driving for over a year and system maintenance is nowhere near the levels it’s hyped up to be. Every once in a while the update requires manual intervention which can be solved by reading the email arch sends out before any of these atypical situations (register to be on the mailing list). Other system set up tinkering is well documented in the arch wiki.

Anyone interested in playing games on Linux should be exploring a rolling release distro even if for nothing more than access to updated GPU drivers as soon as they come out.

Don’t forget the utiltiy of the AUR.

Why you yellin tho.

What hassle? Literally don’t even check protondb anymore…I just buy games assuming they will work and 98/100, they do.

Little tip: use the edge of your counter to flatten it out nicely (just grab the bottom part and run it against the edge, both sides)
