That was informative, thanks.
I agree with you, I would be extremely surprised if the Proton CEO supported Trump… I would say very unlikely.
1·5 months agoI work in tech and I have a bit of a retail component to my job. This includes selling monitors.
I assure you you’re (we’re*–I can also tell the difference easily) in the extreme minority. The vast majority of people buy color and size, not clarity.
What did proton do wrong? Legit question, I’m out of the loop.
Having been new on both weapons and also having trained people that were brand new on both weapons, I will say that most beginners cannot hit something that far away with anything. What I meant by “intuitive” is that if you miss with a bow, you can see exactly where the arrow went and if it’s too low you can be like “I need to shoot a little higher”. Sometimes it is harder when you’re firing ammunition because they tend to disappear.
Loading either weapon isn’t necessarily complicated, but it is more intuitive on a bow. For revolver you will need to pull the release, rotate the assembly out, remove old rounds, insert new rounds and reverse disassembly. For a bow, you just put an arrow in and pull it back because the previous arrow is already gone. For some firearms, loading correctly can be fairly tricky if you don’t know what you’re doing. For example, if you load an M16 and don’t remember to shake the rounds to the back of the magazine, it can jam the weapon.
Bows are simpler logistically. Nock an arrow, pull, aim, release (“fire”). Guns have more steps up front typically but also make the round-to-round process simpler.
Both have sights that are comparable in complexity.
Form is similarly important for both.
Skill curve is similar for both at the higher end. I think bows are a little more intuitive for beginner through novice (subjective of course).
Size can vary wildly for both.
Bows need more physicality typically, so they’re a little harder in that way.
Feel free to follow with questions if you like. I have some hobby experience with bows and have trained professionally (military) with firearms.
Linux seems catered for the most basic users (grandma) and extremely advanced users (Linux enthusiasts, programmers). I’m in the middle where I’m pretty good on a computer but not that into the tweaking and tuning. I don’t think my demographic is catered to very well.
There’s a LOT of super cool stuff on Linux but a lot of it is buried on GitHub and needs configuration to work right. 1, I don’t have time to find that stuff and 2, I don’t care enough usually to make it work even though I typically could with sufficient effort.
Maybe inspired by, but definitely not.
As a psychology nerd:
-
the lack of understanding and empathy for others (even when their opinions are different or “wrong”
-
The lack of understanding of how behavior is driven and encouraged to change.
-
The comfort level with looking at something very complex and assuming you know it deeply in moments (referring to short form video “teaching” psychology and mental health stuff)
-
The overall disconnect between the physical medicine community and the psychological/mental health communities (i.e. mental health is a huge driver in cancer, autoimmune, and other diseases)
-
I could go on. Learning more is my passion but damn it’s so depressing when I begin to understand something and see the abounding ignorance on it

Stuff like chatgpt. Stands for Large Learning Model

The argument being made is: “AI is currently slop but there is a reasonable expectation that it will be pushed until it is indistinguishable from human work, and therefore devaluing of human work.”
I don’t like AI because it’s just another way that “corporate gonna corporate” and it never ends up working out for the mere mortals’ benefit. Also, misinformation is already so prevalent and it’s going to continue to get worse (we have seen this already–trump abuses it continually).
They use it similar to “rascal”
I find your response baffling. I think it was completely out-of-pocket but I’m going to extend a one-time olive branch in good faith that there was some sort of misunderstanding.
I am open to a proper explanation as to how specifically it was hurtful or disrespectful. And if it was and I’m missing a social cue here, I would love to know how that equates to such an aggressive response. My absolute best guess is, that you read it as “you can’t be good at anything”, but I said “you can’t be good at everything”, which literally implies that you are good at other things.
I actually was a certified HVAC tech for a few years. I have seen people get seriously hurt not knowing when their system had steam in it or from not being able to control when the boiler kicks on (mostly renters) and steam starts shooting out of the hole mid-repair. I don’t have any way to assess your skills over the internet so I suggested the safe option. Similar logic to, if you don’t know if someone can work on cars, maybe don’t tell them to do their own brakes.
I truly mean no disrespect; no one can be good at everything. But if this is the vocabulary you use to describe the object and the problem, it’s probably best to call a pro.
7·1 year agoI work in a PC repair shop and I run my tool stick on this way. By the way, you can just put a folder in your Ventoy and store non-iso files so you can have portable apps and so on.
- Acronis (can clone to reduced size drives unlike clonezilla which can only clone to equal or bigger)
- MemTest86 & MemTest86+ (+ is the FOSS one. Recommend both because sometimes one won’t work)
- Don’t forget that you can put other stuff in a Ventoy, not just .isos. I have shitlods of utilities in a folder beside all the .isos.
- Tons more but I just woke up for work. I will make this list much longer when I get there of I can remember to
Edit: ADHD did ADHD things. Here’s some more stuff. A lot of it is Windows-centric because that’s what we specialize in. ISOs:
- PC Unlocker (Windows password remover, paid)
- Gandalf’s Windows Preboot (similar to Hirans, but modern. Paid.)
Utilities:
- CrystalDiskInfo (SMART checks and more on SSDs)
- CrystalDiskMark (SSD benchmark)
- FastCopy (Windows copy utility. Free)
- HDTunePro (v5.00 specifically. After this, license binds to a single machine. HDD SMART checks, benchmark, secure erase, sector scans, and more.)
- OCCT (CPU, GPU, Memory, PSU, and other checks and stress tests. Top-tier tool.)
- F6 Drivers (drivers for NVMe detection on some laptops)
- Spacesniffer (visual representation of disk utilization. Similar to WinDirStat, but looks nicer/runs quicker imo. Free.)
How likely is it that the people you were tight with were neurodivergent as well? Looking back, I had a huge friend group of probably 25-30 in high school (though I was only close with like 2 of them, and cordial/friendly with the rest) and this left me “off the scent” of discovering my Autism until my 30s. Looking back, I would be surprised if a single person in t hat group wasn’t Autistic or ADHD at least, if not several other things too. We were just lucky enough that we all found each other and didn’t judge. We considered each other “The Island Of Misfit Toys” or the “weird” kids, which I believe tracks well.
I also found myself to be very polarizing. Either I was super friendly with people or I was literally openly mocked with little in between.
I also had an isolating phase when I joined the military. I had maybe one to two friends at the best times, and none through most of the rest of the time.
Later in life (late 20s), I “perfected” my mask and got back on the social side of life but I wasn’t happy. Only recently have I learned what Autistic masking is and how to stop doing it, and I’m fairly close with about 6 people now, which is the most real friends I have ever had.
EA just opened sourced the real RA as well!
