Whew, good thing I didn’t claim that then.
Perhaps you have fallen into the common trap of thinking “better than Trump” equates to “objectively good”.


At the start of his term we were hiding in houses and fighting for toilet paper and by the end of it things were much better.
Hugely disingenuous to claim that a global pandemic ending was a policy change.
And while the IRA was a decent piece of legislation, I’d love to hear how it was the “most progressive bill” since the New Deal. Hint: expensive ≠ progessive, especially when tangible results are hard to pin down.
(Not saying Biden was a bad president, but it’s fair to say he was a mediocre one)


Can you name some examples?


Biden was the best president in my lifetime
This is impossible unless you’re under 18, which is against the TOS of most/all Lemmy instances.


Because it was lower under Biden. We have numbers.
I’m so tired of living in a timeline where we pretend facts don’t exist to avoid upsetting the MAGAs.


I enjoyed DRDOS. I didn’t have much to do with it as a hobbyist, but definitely enjoyed trying it out. I wasn’t old enough to use it back in the day.
But have been away from M$ for 4-5 years now. The Linux train is the best train.


Yeah agreed, that little amber display is awesome


I don’t have direct experience with what you’re trying to do with CTTY, but I do have a CF-to-IDE on a 5160. It’s been a while since I used it, but it was a game changer because I could get exact versions of things I needed more easily. Iirc I ended up with MS-DOS 5 as a sweet spot between features and performance, and I also tried things like DR-DOS.


Yeah that’s fair. My RAM usage is through the roof lately, but it pretty clearly happened when I switched to a multimonitor setup. I’m much more likely to have a lot of stuff in the background now because it’s easier to have a lot open at the same time in the practical sense.
But I was lucky enough to grab a 64GB kit before prices went into the sky. Believe it or not, I was regularly up against the limit when I had 32GB.


“Starting to”? 16GB is just a few tabs open for long enough.


Assuming around USD $220 for a 16GB kit of DDR5, it now costs $27.50 more to run Ubuntu.
They’re not really supposed to be played like Mario. Sonic is about getting through the level aa quick as you can without dying.
To be fair, the game doesn’t really reward you for doing that (besides the time bonus). But the levels are designed for it.


The sheer amount of vacuum in that orange head surely must be causing issues. I saw what happened to Oceangate. Granted it had more than one vacuum inside.


How many more signs are we waiting for?


Yes, and Tucker Carlson. It’s kind of a thing.
The difference is that Beck and Carlson are actually more straightforward with regards to how they lean. Rogan always suggests he’s a centrist, sometimes even suggesting he is apolitical, which is patently false.


Thanks. I like to be extra careful.


Yes, I agree with that about confused young men. However, at the end of the day, if JRE turns them into toxic men, then they’re still just toxic men.
I would hope that doesn’t happen. In general I think we as a society need to be kinder to these confused young men before they take that path. It’s a more difficult conversation to have and the solution is not very clear.
Either way, JRE is dangerous because it offers propagandistic suppositions as answers to people with big questions.
Backing up claims with facts is not “spoon feeding” people reality. It’s the basic mechanism of knowledge transfer and debate.
If you can’t back up the claims, don’t make them. No amount of ad hominem attacks will make your arguments better without factual support.
