Well, maybe in the original meaning of the word. Most Palestinians do speak a Semitic language. The word usually now mean anti-jewish though.

Yeah, anything Adobe won't work, but there are plenty of PDF viewers that do. Also, yes, Steam, VLC, and Firefox all work perfectly fine on Linux. You shouldn't have any issues.

Very few programs require anything complicated to get them working. A lot of productivity programs don't support Linux though, like anything from Adobe, but there are usually alternatives, and if not can often be run in a VM. This probably doesn't matter for you though, since you don't seem to be particularly technical (not an insult). You probably know what programs you need that may not work. If there's nothing like that then you'll be fine.

Well I'd say the distro is the model/manufacturer, Linux is the motor/engine/software, and the DE is the HUD/dashboard/wheel/pedels.

I have a personal conspiracy theory that part of the AI hype is pushed by dirty energy companies. Most American politicians say we can't remove dirty energy plants until we have enough clean energy to replace them. AI (and some other technologies) increase energy demand in a way that counters any clean energy production being built, such that the dirty energy production will always be needed unless we're willing to shut some things down.

Politicians say we can't scale down production below demand, so dirty energy companies benefit most from inflating demand instead of shutting down and being replaced with clean alternatives.

The issues come if you know how they're faking them. Sure, SSR can look good sometimes, but if you know what it is it becomes really obvious. Meanwhile raytraced reflections can look great always, with the cost of performance usually. It's sometimes worth it, especially when done intelligently.

Not really a lie, just needs to come with a history lesson. The America First Committee was a fascist political group. Once you know that then it makes a lot more sense.

It's incredibly uncommon, but yes it has been done before. I think it's unlikely they were referencing these incredibly uncommon medals.

A dog whistle is something most people won't hear/see, but those in the know will. Like an actual dog whistle; a whistle that's higher pitch than humans can hear but dogs can.

Yeah, except he thinks this is a gang instead of just what happens when people respect each other in society and work together.

I feel like you're biased in favor of Nintendo. "They make durable products" while also being infamous for the joysticks drifting. Those don't seem to gel together. Maybe they're hard to totally break, but they seem to be fine with selling products that degrade pretty quickly.

That's not even the biggest issue for me. The $80 games that never get discounted will cost a lot more than that pretty quickly. Plus I know they push their subscription service too.

As a PC gamer, fuck that. I'll play cheap better games on my free operating system that I actually control on my hardware that I can repair and replace easily. Nintendo games interest me, but not nearly at the price they're asking for with what they're offering.
