Hi. First of all, super crazy that I return after like a year and a half of absence and you're reactivating the sub just now hahah, talk about coincidence. I'm not too sure I'll be too active so if you wanna mod just tell me.

Also, regarding the texts, I see and kind of agree with quite a few of these. This year is when I've most experienced this. Usually I would've just followed my own interest at the cost of the failure of a collective enterprise which I saw as inherently flawed. But this year the enterprise seems to want to yield results so I make mutual sacrifices to, under the criticism of fellow egoists who claim I'm sacrificing time and well-being when I could simply not do that, succeed collectively and thereby reap great benefits.

However, being able to have this opportunity does not imply a rejection to the previous methodology. If an egoist seeks my consent to exploit me with my consent, I will hide my intent to exploit him back for greater effectiveness and I will not care too much about the consequences for him if I don't see any long term benefit to maintaining the relationship.

Ultimately it seems like, if everyone is playing "fair" (where fairness can be very much a spook to which I so not subscribe unless it's a satisfactory situation) there is a benefit to playing along. It is also satisfying not to fuck over people who are being kind to you, and instead to seek to benefit them in some regard.

Is it me or egoist philosophy is particularly wordy? 👀 Maybe I just need to learn better English.

I didn't know basically anything in your entire comment yet you explained it pretty clearly. Thanks for a learning experience 😊

Will intensely think about it. Last I heard no bitlocker. Will research this week.

Hmm. Switchable graphics. Do you mean like integrated & GPU? I didn't think that could affect dual screen setup. Guess maybe it could? Idk.

I would but my cares are pretty much gone rn. I don't have enough time to do anything nowadays except work, doomscroll and sleep. Much less to start messing with weird stuff and breaking my $2800 laptop for fun hahah. I think I'll keep it as it came. I hope Bill Gates one day wakes up and looks at a sneak pic of my balls. If I get fired I'll boot up my work laptop and install Arch on it though. Always wanted to try it!

Lol I'm not even safe in the archive version.

Took me so long to realize he's dead and this is fake hahah. I should go to sleep.

I like to work sometimes. Most of the time I prefer not to work, though. Money though, I do like that.

Microsoft is adware

Yeah what do you do on a computer without Candy Crush. Could it even connect to the Internet?

All my mom does is browser and Office365. I tried to get her into LibreOffice and I saw her suffering through it for some time and decided to put her out of her misery by MAS'ing her Office.

I've tried quite a few distros on an MSI I got and it wouldn't recognize dual monitors with Nvidia drivers on any I tried. I went with fedora, Debian based ones, kde, etc. And none worked. Had to go back to Windows on that laptop.

Ah my work laptop had the same issue but as soon as I saw it didn't work I just switched to windows and it worked.

The only laptop I keep permanently Linuxed I use as a VPS lol. Got Nextcloud on it and a few bots.
