Comment Re:Honestly, after 25+ years, I've had it with Lin (Score 1) 197

BSD is a fine option, but to be fair you don't have to switch all the way to BSD, you just have to switch to a distro that's not trying to cram systemd, network-manager, and pulseaudio and/or pipewire down your throat. If you avoid all the software that's essentially a commercial power grab by a megacorp, you'll avoid most the drama with it.

I just scrolled down to see what you thought about the 1.8F to 1C thing to infer whether the rest of this inexcusably long filler-rant was serious, and discovered that it's absolutely not. No thermostats let you set degrees Celsius in decimal points, which, as someone who has experienced both, I can absolutely confirm is way less convenient and way less comfortable. Didn't read the rest, you're a blowhard idiot.

Comment Re:Don't mess with your hormones (Score 1) 32

You have that backwards; DHT is a feminizing hormone and the only "sexual" characteristics it controls is body hair growth. Basically it's the hormone that causes your hair on your head to get softer as you get older, and for you to grow more of it on your lower body as you get older. People with "male pattern baldness" have a mutation in the gene that produces it that causes them to produce too much of it. Incidentally, it's gravity sensitive too; bald astronauts have unexpectedly reported slight amounts of hair regrowth on their head. If everyone with this mutation hung upside down their whole lives, they wouldn't go bald, and they'd grow less lower body hair.

Are you kidding me? You're still replying to get the last word in and you think you're not obviously trying to astroturf here? How about this, prove me wrong by not replying to me this time. I fucking dare you; see if you have the willpower. Somehow I doubt it. Somehow I think it'll drive you absolutely insane not to get the very last word in on this conversation thread, because you're such a hardcore, blinded, brainwashed Intel fanboy, and that's proof in itself that your view here isn't based on rationality; it's either based on utter delusion or someone is fucking paying you.

But that's what you're doing here, dude. I literally just told you that. I actually started out as an Intel fanboy too, back when I was a kid and didn't know there were alternatives, but eventually I got smart enough to do my own research and testing, and include the price to performance ratios in the data. Look at yourself, you're here on this stupid site in the middle of the night, trying to get the last word in on an argument you've lost 3 times now but can't admit it to yourself. The problem with you Intel fanboys is that you spent all these years astroturfing for them, defending their lies with bullshit and irrelevant data, when what you should have been doing was demanding they either release better products or lower their ridiculously inflated prices, and stop spending all their money on TV commercials targeting the computer illiterate and trying to buy their way into a monopoly with illegal under-the-table vendor exclusive deals. If you kids had all worked on that over the past few years as hard as you're working at astroturfing here right now, Intel may well have not fallen into the deep hole they're in currently. You failed them, dude. You all failed them.

Dude, you don't run Linux so you have no idea how irrelevant this shit all is. All you've got is what other people who were already invested in Intel winning and desperate to force the matter with words said. The chips were faster and cheaper for practical uses, period. You can't even use all the cores in those Intel chips at once without taking a performance hit. It's useful idiots like you, parroting these stupid talking points and bullshit corner-case benchmarks with Intel's cheater compiler, that kept Intel as the market lead long after they should already have flopped.

Seriously? You're still trying to get the last word in here? You're still spouting stupid talking points based on Intel fanboy dogma. I'm not the blind fanboy here. Everything your argument is based on is either Windows specific or second hand lies. You're completely delusional, and it's pathetic how hard you need to latch your pride on to some stupid failing megacorp.
