  • The money isnt the problem, its the want. Collectively we dont want to end world hunger. The countries experiencing hunger already have population growth rates higher than their infrastructure can sustain and handle. Pumping food into those countries would only worsen the problem.

    Then you have the emissions growth at a time where emissions are already to high. Then the threat of migration. Ending world hunger is a meme that would cause more suffering than it would prevent.



  • This is unpopular but I’d like to see LESS niche communities. I dont want to see 1000 game communities I want to see one game community where all the people are making threads about the games they like. When its big enough then that game can split into its own community.

    Because i may not go out of my way to find a community like guild wars 1 but if I see a post about it in the games community I’d join in. The interest isnt always there it needs to be created sometimes. And it can be created by people seeing threads of interested people talking about their interest.


  • There are a few questions you need to answer that impact the specs.

    What resolution will you be using for your monitor, 1080p or 2k or 4k. If you are 1080p gaming then you really do not need the latest and greatest.

    Do you want to pay extra for a “future proofed” machine. I think buying future proof is a meme the stuff lasts so long especially on linux.

    Do you want to pay extra for a smaller case and smaller parts.

    What games do you want to play? Sim games require a decent CPU everything else you can get away with the lowest end CPU and its fine. 5500 5600 and 5600x are solid value AM4 cpus. If you have money for future proofing you can look at am5 CPUs.

    For gpu ifyou are 2k or 4k gaming 9070XT is the best value card on the market right now.

    For 1080p the 3060 or 3060it is a solid card at a solid price. Dont worry about nvidia compat its fine. It takes a single line pasted into the terminal to get the drivers and most distros have a GUI tool to get them if you dont want to do that.

    As for distro it really doesnt matter, they all use mostly the same tools and software. Bazzite, fedora, Ubuntu are good places to start. If you want a “gaming” OS, cachyOS, nobara, pika have been optimised.

    For specs that are important, if you need WiFi its nice to get a motherboard that has WiFi on it. Nvme ssd drive 1tb or 2tb is really nice.

    Consider picking parts and building it yourself you will learn about how it goes together and fixing it will be much easier. You’ll also have a lot more freedom for customisation and part pricing. I had a friend who is not technical at all build a PC and he said it was quite easy he just followed a video from linus tech tips. Took a few hours.

















  • After a month I’ll stop being careful and use my home IP

    Because after I got banned for something so minor I was pissed at reddit and kept I being rude to comments and posts that were shit.

    You know how you see the same reddit opinion over and over and over even though its completely incorrect. Or see posts that are so obviously false or rule breaking. I’d just be rude as fuck in my reply tone, not breaking any rules but still would draw bans.

    The ones I hated the most were am I the asshole posts where they clearly weren’t. Like “am I the asshole for being abused by my parents”. Same with firecape posters in the old school runescape subreddit.
