Well, you didn’t explain why they’re bad, that’s probably why
As others pointed out it’s incredibly nice for the times when you’re not doing anything but are in your car, anyway. If the ability to play games is disabled while driving then is there actually an issue?
Seems like a great way to kill time while plugged into a charger to me, I already do it with my steam deck when I charge my car
I 100% advocate for this, as do many of my gun owning and enjoying friends. Most reasonable gun owners I’ve met are fine with everything non-hunting but pistols be lock-up-at-range. I get that pistols are used in a lot of crime but there are legitimste uses for them outside of shooting other humans (I get coyotes where I live and if ones trynna get at my birds I’m not gonna go get a rifle, I’ll reach at my hip for my pistol, for example)
Though, usually, it’s also stipulated that support for this idea would require that the currently existing restricted things be brought under this umbrella. I’d love to fire off some illegal as fuck weaponry in a controlled environment where my accuracy can be tracked using modern camera equipment and other cool shit, yakno? Kinda like the idea behind axe throwing or those “destroy shit” rooms
He might have somewhat wanted to, but it wasn’t an explicit goal of his until it became strategic to the war effort.
Lincoln before he got elected: no, I’m not coming for your slaves
Lincoln after elected: no, I’m not coming for your slaves
Lincoln during the war: “If there be those who would not save the Union unless they could at the same time save slavery, I do not agree with them”
Lincoln the moment the British might aid them: “the war is now about slaves and their freedom so Britain won’t feel good about helping”
Yes, Lincoln didn’t like slavery and thought it was bad for the country, but much like the founding fathers he thought it was on its way out naturally. Without the southern states throwing The Great Tantrum Lincoln would have left the slave issue alone

When my mom’s old laptop became mine in around 2011 it wasn’t even powerful enough to run Minecraft at more than 13 FPS, so I sure as shit wasn’t gonna spend the occasional money I got on a steam card at 7/11 to load up an account I couldn’t even use to play the games well with
I think every game I’ve ever pirated from childhood and actually liked enough to finish has been paid for now though
Seriously? Maybe it’s just cuz I was a poor kid who had to play the same games a shit ton but I went through at least 5 different disks in my time that I can think of just from playing them too hard.
Something closer to to 50 for disks that were scratched from other shit, though that’ll include music CDs and DVDs too
if whatever needs to be done actually requires the manager (refunds or such)
if the person you’ve been trying to resolve the issue with is being obstinate, dismissive, or rude
if something actually illegal is occuring (i did this once when I noticed that a gas station was charging more than their listed price on the sign, guy immediately fixed it and comped me my fill cuz that’s super illegal)
if workers are jeopardizing safety of other people. Don’t tell the worker to stop, get a manager to do it and note that they’re doing something unsafe.
And, most importantly:
when you catch an employee smoking a joint outside and they refuse to share
It’s not expensive, but it’s way more expensive than a chocolate bar of similar size from any of the “candy companies” people see at the corner store like Hershey’s.
Can get a Hershey’s bar that’s ~2x the size of 1 Lindt ball for 1/4 the price at my corner store. Bulk discount scaling makes that even more wonky, I think 10 Hershey’s bars was like 8 bucks at Walmart while the smaller bag of kind milk chocolate balls was 12
deleting all the safety equipment and being under powered
That must be why those death traps regularly kill people in all of the countries where they’re regularly used!
And even if that (crap) reason is why: ban them from the freeways, then, not from every fucking road. You know, like mopeds and similar small scooters?
I was thinking about how I missed having an indoor thermometer that measures humidity. It’s such a small specific thing, one I’d never think of getting unless pushed to it (which I was by one particularly dry winter). But I like having one now....
. A good socket set of Allen wrenches for assembling set furniture too.
I’ll push back and say that the 3-pack of imperial, metric, and SAE hex wrenches you can get these days are better than a socket set
Sure, ratcheting is nice, but the ability to rapidly service ANY hex item without dicking around with my sockets or having to memorize which exact size a specific screw has been amazing
Just grab the matching collection of wrenches (idk what to call them, Swiss army wrench?) for the size you’re working in, or all 3 if you’re unsure, and you’ll be done in no time!
I don’t think I’ve encountered one that’s hard to reach with my folding set, actually. Probably the one time I’d want to get my socket set, so fair enough if you encounter it more often
Mint refused to put sound out through my sound card. It saw my card, knew the exact brand and card and driver version, could see when I plugged and unplugged things from each of the jacks, but would not output any audio. I eventually solved this by just using the DAC on my new speakers and tossing the sound card lol.
Text scaling with an nVidia card is broken and looks god awful. 1440p monitor scrolling the Mint website and the text is gray/yellow jaggy mess. Installing an experimental driver and scaling up a bit fixes it for the most part but is a sub-ideal solution as I don’t like scaling.
There’s no perfect replacement for the Snip tool. I want to just spr+shift+s, click/drag a box, and done. So far the closest I’ve gotten is shift+prntscrn, click/drag, enter, which is more annoying by far.
There’s no dark theme for mint-Y. I love the look of the XP/7ish theme it’s got going on but it’s light mode only. Travesty.
Too many password prompts when updating flatpaks. I should have used a way shorter password for this OS.
Plugging in 2 monitors of different screen resolutions can cause some serious issues if I alt/tab. Fixed by unplugging and plugging in one of the monitors but it’s fucking annoying.
I could, but then whole-screen Printscreen is gone and I use that about as often
It’s nice that these programs have all kinds of extraneous features, I’m sure people out there find use for them. I just want a quick and simple snip tool that doesn’t take extra button presses to confirm that no, really, I don’t want to use extra features
Are conflicting statements within your own comment.
and you have additional functionality that doesn’t get in the way
I couldn’t care less about the additional functionality, that’s not what I use snip for. And it does get in the way, that’s my whole point. Needing to press enter to confirm that I’m “done editing” is an extra keypress that isn’t needed and gets in the way.
I’m curious how “more annoying by far” to click-drag-enter vs click-drag.
As I stated I regularly snip at work on a Windows machine and pretty regularly at home which was until recently also windows. I’m very used to tapping a 3-key shortcut as 1keypress, click/dragging, and moving on with my life. That one extra keypress adds a second or two of confusion and annoyance every time I use it, and I can’t even easily retrain myself as I still use it on Windows regularly.
You can readjust the selection
I would rather re-snip the 1/500 times this matters to me than press enter the other 499 times. I get others might like it, but why is it not an option for people like me?
you can record video instead
I have software for that already that does even more than the snip replacers, though I can’t think of any time I’ve used a video when 3 screenshots would have worked too.
Basically it boils down to over design without option boxes for those who don’t want to do things exactly as the software designers intended.
And, by using that key as a confirmation-step, you get a whole bunch of extra functionality that you say you don’t use
Yes, which is entirely useless to me and not something I want. Incredibly simple concept you’re having trouble with.
Which, if you don’t use it, will still give you the exact same functionality, and doesn’t affect you.
Nope, you’re really shit at reading comprehension. It does not function exactly the same, that’s the problem.
Consider if you ever need to repeat the screen grab 10x times, the difference is:
I will not as I do not ever need to do that. Idk what weird world you live in where you’d ever need to take 10 screenshots of the same still screen but I can think of even easier ways to manage something like that then with a Printscreen manager.
I find it fascinating to care so strongly
You’re the one typing out multi-paragraph replies to me simply stating that windows does this better and it’s silly that Linux doesn’t have something as simple as Snip. I don’t really care at all as it’s one keypress, it’s just funny.
objectively a worse approach in every single way
Subjectively, you mean. I do not need or want hose extra features and it now takes time to tell my PC to not use those features. So no, it’s a worse approach to me.
And to care so strongly about that one keypress, that the optional versatility that gives (toggle video recording, adjust rectangle, reuse rectangle, move rectangle with same dimensions) is all in all considered a worse alternative
You really have a hard time with other people valuing stuff differently then you, huh?
Those features are less than worthless to me. I do not ever need or want them. The fact that the software cannot handle that I don’t is useless bloat, which Linux is usually all about removing.
To each their own, and UX design is arguably not yours.
Go fuck yourself you stuck up prick. Fucking Linux users I swear
I can’t imagine why you wouldn’t want something so it’s stupid to not want it
Your lack of imagination doesn’t mean you are correct. You have an opinion, learn to handle that it’s not fact.
I pray you’re not involved with anything UX related either as your attitude is the exact kind of dismissive garbage that’s landed us in this world of horrid UI and UX
Lol, no, thats just the big one that raises some questions about the timeline, if you think the Fallout show properly follows even the lore of F4 you’re not paying attention.
Just off the top of my head right now while I shit:
Ghouls don’t take drugs to not turn feral
Where the FUCK is the NCR, the country? It wasn’t just Shady Sands surrounded by ruined LA, it was an actual nation-state that had civilization and laws and was generally less shitty than the rest of the wasteland
Mr. House was NOT at some pre-war meeting where Vault-Tec admitted to their vault tests AND that they’d drop the bomb. If he was his actions as explain in FNV no longer add up.
for that matter, that vault-tec meeting scene at ALL
No, the Enclave are NOT still around with enough power to still have scientists and camps and shit, we’ve destroyed how many of their HQs now?
I could go on if I thought about it but its wipe time
