Reposting a comment I made on a similar post about the 180 mental gymnastics MAGA are displaying.

What you're witnessing here is described in When Prophecy Fails, a study on cults and how they justify continued belief after experiencing events that should disprove their belief.

Cult members will simply invent new reasons to continue their belief and remove the cognitive dissonance they may feel, which oddly results in a further entrenched belief, instead of a weakened one.

Clicking the sun icon at the top right of a piefed page to enable dark mode is pretty darkly-ish. There's more themes available for people with an account as well, accessible via the user settings page.

AFAIK he's never spoken of the IWW before.

I did build the big ship, but I don't think I used the planters effectively. I just remember needing to frequently recharge it and repair it.

I also wasn't a fan, mainly due to how often you need to resupply to stay alive. You get a very small window of opportunity to do actual exploration before you need to go find more food and water, on top of gathering a bunch of other materials.

I liked parts of it, but ultimately just got frustrated with the tedious parts and bailed.

One of the reporters for More Perfect Union, a leftist pro-union organizatiom is from west Virginia and wears a mullet.

Yes, but mixing in 3D hardware acceleration was apparently quite difficult to achieve until systemd came along to make it somewhat painless.

True, for anyone who has a more modern AMD laptop, it would fare well with Parsec.

I will admit I became a bit giddy at the prospect of using a beefy Linux rig like it's 1971, as our Lord and Saviors Dennis Richie & Ken Thompson intended. 😌

The only reason any of this is easily possible by laymen is thanks to Systemd.

You still can, as far as I know! It's just that I don't think X would have the throughput for games. I recently learned about that functionality in a Cathode Ray Dude video, where he shows how it even got ported to Windows 3.11!

Well I'll be damned! AMD does seem to have up their encoder game with the Navi series onward.

They were rightfully called out as having pretty bad encoders before that though, which I personally experienced on an RX 480 I used to have in my system. It made parsec a bit blurry and added quite a bit of latency.

Also, I would stand by the recommendation to avoid older office PC's with AMD graphics, since none of them are going to have Navi graphics.
