>Yes goy credit cards don't track you enough we demand more information to squeeze even more shekels out of you .

Credit and debit cards have shockingly bad security, and they allow merchants to build a profile of your shopping habits. Unless you use single-use prepaid cards, they should be avoided at all costs.

Cash is still the best.

Contactless payments like Apple Pay sit somewhere in between: definitely better than cards, but still allow your bank / credit union to follow you around. My credit union still doesn't support Apple Pay so it's a moot point for me anyway.

XFX RX 480 GTR was the best 4xx Series card. Don't now about this card now cause there are now reviews

i have xfx 7970 still since almost launch and it works good still
would buy xfx agian

My XFX 6950 had dead VRAM and since then I wouldn't touch them with a 10 ft pole anymore.

Might just have been bad luck but there are so many video card manufacturers out there I see no point in giving them a second chance. My Gigabyte 7970 is working for almost 5 years now.

Hes a pretty cool autistic grandpa imo.

I dont watch all of his videos, but ive seen most.

He's cool, the music he uses for his video's is horrible though, always have to turn down the volume when it happens

He seems like that type of guy where if you recognized him on the street he would be really happy about it and would have a quick chat with you

I need a pair of headphones - budget of < 50$, for music, video games and entertainment.

don't need a mic/buttons, going to use it on my desktop.

i've looked at the /csg/ infograph, but don't know which one i should get, which one is considered the best?

damn maki looks like THIS?

well it is good to have an alternative

Linux is objectively better than Windows in every way except program compatibility, which has nothing to do with quality of OS.

Linux has objectively better file systems, objectively better performance, objectively better security, objectively better package management, the list could go on and on.

Linux does not have to prove itself. You don't need N amount of arguments or reasons to use Linux.

Even "Linux as an alternative" is a sham, because it implies that Windows is the norm and Linux somehow needs to have good or even better reasons to use it.

windows itself

I disable everything by not ever installing it.

I don't care. I use Windows for gayming only and I like to play GameJolt games from indie devs. This means running unchecked programs full of viruses etc.
Also my Start menu stopped opening, I have to make desktop icons for everything.

well give an example

Because it's stable

has he ever done any form of contribution to science? published any papers?
hes a puppet for globalists, they use him because some have nostalgia or pseudo-nostalgia from that one faggot song he sang almost three decades ago to spread there agenda
its the same with that fat nigger scientist

>Waaaahh Mommy they're making fun of Uncle Donny again!!!!

I'm older than most on here and Bill Nye's show was a highlight of childhood. Love the show/tv character and always will. RL Bill Nye is a smug, bowtie wearing asshole

I want to deny climate change just to piss people like him off. Also lots of accounts of him being rude/condescending to people that i've heard about

fuck bill nye

i haven't watched his new show or whatever but I'm sure it's just like, "hey the ice is melting look we've been measuring this bla blabla"

don't normies ever get bored with being told shit they already know?

Anything higher level than C.

and that surprises absolutely nobody

>SysVinit

protip fucking retards, LSB init is not SysV

SysV doesn't fucking have shit like dependency management which is offered by LSB headers.

LSB init is not just runlevel cancer, it's a fully functioning semi-modern init which specifications for helper functions which theoretically makes it portable and very easy to create init scripts from.

please stop calling LSB init, sysv init

you fucking faggots.

Daily reminder that systemd is FOSS (Free & Open Source Software) and that it is good software that fulfils the needs of modern devops, sysadmins, regular users and even application developers. Since work on systemd project restarted in 2010 and it's initial inclusion in Fedora Jan 2011 it has gained code contributions from over 700 developers worldwide and became the default init system and session manager in every major GNU/Linux distribution since 2012. Developers from each of these have commit access and have helped to design and shape systemd to fit their needs and unify core system between distributions over the last 5 years.

However as great of an improvement as it has proven to be it has attracted many paid trolls and mentally ill Linux users who spread lies and FUD about it, a large group of these single out developers and attack them with constant trolling, abuse, stalking and even death threats. Many of these 'people' are from the *BSD camps; after Linux usage and contributions sky-rocketed 15 years ago they have been on a constant mission to cause trouble, including making threats of violence and rape against people who create GPL licensed code.

There are also thought to be many of these people on the payroll of Microsoft to try and destroy strong powerful FOSS projects by negative campaigning. Fortunately as usual for Microsoft their FUD and paid shills turn up 4 years too late and don't have technical arguments, making it obvious what they are: paid trolls.

So you can manage a server

>Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.

If you look at all the other distros in the top 10 you find one common denominator: they are all noob friendly.
