For a while there, there was a fork of GIMP that simply changed the name to Glimpse. That was the only one I felt comfortable mentioning in professional contexts.

Jews, Christians and Muslims all pray to the same god.

The rich ones don't see us as humans and the poor ones like the idea of people they don't like suffering even if they have to suffer, too.

There's your rationale.

They signed up to brutalize brown people, not build houses.

This is gold

Look at the stats, fentanyl has always been rarely prescribed and even more rarely prescribed compared to other opioids. The fentanyl crisis is a crisis of economics: there is less profit to be made in creating, smuggling and selling other opioids compared to fentanyl.

If you want to be accurate, doctors prescribed non-fentanyl opioids in situations where they weren't needed, often illegally, when those prescriptions ran out, that caused a heroin crisis. That heroin crisis became a fentanyl crisis when drug dealers stopped selling heroin in favor of the cheaper and much stronger fentanyl.

Doctors aren't prescribing, nor are they they source of, illicit fentanyl. The ease of synthesis means that clandestine labs can make a shit ton of the stuff, it's that simple.

Yeah, you either need a separate GPU or a iGPU/dGPU that supports SR-IOV. Some Intel iGPUs support it, and allow you to make virtual GPUs that can be pass-through`ed to VMs.

Because a global pandemic broke your sensor supply chain and you still want to sell cars with FSD anyway, so cameras-only it is!

This isn't sufficient. I've been running DNS adblocking for a decade, advertisers have wised up to it and can easily sidestep it.

Different OSes for different use cases. You have a job to do. Just use Windows.

If you want to use Linux, use it on your own machines on your own time.

That said, there are a few things you can do if you really want to use Linux:

1. Test if the app works on Wine, Proton, etc. Even GPU accelerated apps can work, depending on the software/driver stack.
2. Run a Windows VM and pass-through a GPU. That way you'll get native performance on the app that's GPU intensive. Use KVM and the CPU overhead will be negligible.
3. If you're doing 3D modeling/rendering, SFX, video editing or ML/AI, there are a lot of options on Linux. Some options that exist in Windows also have Linux versions.

Doctors aren't prescribing cocaine for the hell of it, though. Same thing with puberty blockers. Think we can trust doctors' judgment when it comes to the drugs they prescribe.

These days IPP Print Everywhere support makes driverless printing easy

Insurance can still payout and people can still be made whole for property that's deemed uninhabitable. You do not have to "continue to rebuild in Florida", but you can make sure people's lives aren't completely ruined as a result of natural disasters.

They know it and get off on being evil.

Humor is a powerful rhetorical weapon. I wouldn't discount it.

Because it's easy to pull a trigger to permanently silence people who might become a slight inconvenience at most.

Federating is a vector of disease

That's because price points exist. People will only pay so much for fast food.

Turns out wage increases don't affect prices, just like the research has shown.

You can use QEMU's usermode emulation to transparently run ARM binaries with binfmt_misc on x86.
