  • It’s not just paper. It’s a symbol. If you can’t understand that then there’s no hope for you in this world. You have a fundamentally flawed view of humanity if you can’t see humans ascribe meaning to object, religious or not. It’s the same reason burning a flag gets people upset.

    You can argue it’s irrational, because it obviously is, but humans are not rational creatures.

    Now, go only do objective rational things somewhere else. You’re words aren’t worth anything. You’re wasting your effort writing them.





  • For Syncthing? All you do is point it to the folder where it is (or where you want it to be if it’s not on the device yet). Then you tell it that you want to send and receive changes for that folder, and repeat this for all devices you want synched. It’s very simple. Just play with it and you should be able to get it working.

    One thing to note is it needs to be running to synch obviously, so if it hasn’t been running don’t expect your database to be updated.



  • I had a few times on Windows with niche discontinued products. Not really a huge issue but it didn’t work out of the box.

    Here’s your issue with Linux: You’re expecting it to work identically as Windows does. They’re different systems with different issues and solutions. I use Syncthing to sync my Keepass database updated between devices. It’s very simple and easy to use.

    Go into Linux unburdened with the expectation that everything should work the same and you’ll have a better time. You have to acclimate to the new environment, but you did the same with Windows. You got used to how bad Windows is to use. Linux is generally easier, in my opinion, once you’re used to it. It isn’t Windows though so you have to learn new things.



  • GamePass on the cloud works, but MS has made a choice to not let it work on Linux. This is not an issue with Linux. It’s an issue with MS and Windows. They choose to distribute the games using a proprietary encryption method, which harms the user’s experience and makes it only work on Windows. You can’t mod your games (unless the explicitly allow it and let you decrypt it) because “fuck you, this is ours.” Fuck them. If they want my money they can make a better product that works where I want to be. You should hold yourself to that level too, not lick their boot and thank them for the privilege.


  • Yeah, on top of not having to deal with applications checking for updates when they’re launched, and then manually installing them, not having to deal with drivers is amazing. Windows users talk about how easy the experience is with Windows, but they’re just used to how shitty it is and haven’t seen the alternative. I just occasionally update everything in my system when I think about it and it’s good to go. No being forced to update and restart. No hassle. Just simple and quick and everything is up-to-date.
