Well duh, s76 ship their laptops with their own Linux distro and actually test stuff. Lenovo… Not so much. Not that thinkpads are bad in any way, shape or form (love 'em, use 'em, have 4 myself), but you’re comparing a manufacturer that ships windows laptops to one that ships Linux laptops and somehow expect the former to work better, which is counterintuitive.

If you want an example, tho, duckduckgo 06cb:009a linux (which is the fingerprint reader on t480/t480s/x280/etc) and look at the shenanigans necessary to make it work.

You can: technically they’re yellow herb dicks

eat so much rice they even run their cars on it

So what exactly? It’s just a stereotype. A stereotypical Russian (that’s where I’m from) would be a gopnik babooshka in abibas riding a bear while playing a balalayka and drinking vodka… And guess what? We find it funny. Well, maybe except babooshkas: many find it weird you stress the “oo” syllable instead of the 1st ‘a’. It’d be the same with black guys and rap music or Texans and guns.

would you defend the n-word

If it originated as a stereotype, stopped being used offensively several decades ago, and was then repurposed into being a praise of sorts.

Allrighty, so here’s the comment: https://lemmy.ml/comment/16077970 Granted, not exactly how I phrased it at times, but the gist still stands.

body modifications

Citation needed, as they say. I only saw car bodies being modded.

your racism

Bold of you to assume I have smth against groups of ppl based on their race because I’m not into your* guilt complex about your* ancestors inventing X phrases and abusing Y groups of ppl.

Not trying to “worm out”, and still stand on the form being inferior to the meaning; just pointing out a commonly used coinword with the exact meaning ppl are looking for, 'cause at this point I’m inclined to see the world freeze.

* not necessarily yours in particular, just an assumption you’re from the US

I’m telling you the post explicitly asked about opinions, and the “wrong” ones that used the “r-word” happened to be blocked, and there is a comment from another mod that explicitly tells they’ll remove stuff using that. Although it’s a reasonably short comment that’s easily blocked from view with a medium-sized justice boner, so it’s understandable you’ve missed it.

Although, you’re somewhat right, the meaning of a slur was a bit off in my vocabulary. I’d still argue it isn’t one in context ('cause it neither refers to a person nor is it derogatory in its current form)… However, I’d also like to play along and give you folks another (and, arguably, a more worthy) which hunt target – chinesium. You know, currently a derogatory, currently refers to a particular nation, so…

The “r-word” in question refers to the being food discussed (although it’s not really a discussion, given we have the correct opinion and “your comment is getting deleted” opinion) in the post, since we’re apparently deleting comments for using it now. Hence the quotation marks.

As for the 1st paragraph, (a) i’m arguing it’s nowhere like using the n-word at all, and (b) it was said by the Asian dude, so I don’t see how so.

Should they’ve included a selfie or an id pic? Because when black ppl use that n-word you’re trying to draw parallels with (which, BTW, is still a derogatory towards a person and has no other meanings, as far as I’m aware) nobody gets offended. And, aside from the use of the “r-word”, their comment was a valid opinion on topic asking for that opinion

removed the offending comments

In one of which an Asian dude literally says it’s not used as a derogatory anymore. Talk about being offended for others

deleted by creator

They’re all by the same dude, so probably no reason

So, it took a bit more time than expected, but the dock in my case is also a bit quirky: the monitors aren’t detected when the dock is hot-plugged, but work fine when I boot with the dock connected.

I’ll check later if it’s the same with HDMI

Done: HDMI works fine.

A 4ch-like board with a rather intolerant user base

Well, my 1st matrix account was on the kiwifarms’ server. Nope, I didn’t know tf kiwifarms was at the time, I just liked the name

Idk, kinda the same, but instead of misinformation we get ICs that release a cloud of smoke in a shape of a cat when presented with specific pattern of inputs (or smth equally batshit crazy)

Yeah, I’ve stumbled upon that one a while back too, probably. Was it also the one where the initial designs would refuse to work outside the room temperature 'til the ai was asked to take temps into account?

You can always say you believe in the Flying Spaghetti Monster, tho.

Wait 'til they switch from Intel to their custom d1 CPUs.

Well, my tastes since then changed from various kinds of metal to that (bug mostly prog) + jazz + ragtime + electronic stuff + various multi-genre things, so I don’t find the stuff I used to listen particularly terrible. Most are pretty boring, tho.

Well, if we’ve decided on not taking my comment as a joke it was intended to be, to me it looks more or less like the reversed rants of some white people when they see traditionally white characters played by black people in movies and whatnot.

As for the quoted stuff, I’m not certain it can be believed at all, given how LLMs basically hallucinate things that fit the narrative.

Btw, I’m also not protesting the idea as a whole is both weird and stupid.

Yap, the more absurd – the better.
