I have ditched Windows and went with Linux: My Story with Windows, What apps should i get rid of.
  • Not a big gamer, myself, but it seems like Valve has done a lot of work to make many (most?) Steam games run well under Linux.

    Drivers have come a long way, and a lot of things just work, but it can definitely depend on what hardware is in your system.

    Donald Trump to be sentenced to prison in September: Fox News columnist
  • Yes, it's 34 district crimes. That's why it's 34 charges.

    My understanding is that in white collar crimes like these, the number of charges does not bear on whether the sentence includes jail time for a defendant with no prior criminal history. Unless the dollar amount is exorbitant; but in this case I don't think anybody made any money.

    Donald Trump to be sentenced to prison in September: Fox News columnist
  • My understanding is that these sorts of white collar crimes don't normally result in jail time for defendants with no previous criminal record, in New York state courts.

    I get the feeling that the number of counts doesn't really matter here, because they are not really unique crimes. My understanding is that they brought 34 charges because they had 34 documents they thought they could prove in court were fraudulent, but it is materialy the same crime (deliberately mischaracterizing the nature of the payment)

  • MAGA Turns on Joe Rogan as He Endorses RFK Jr. and Not Trump
  • It is just a public statement of support. There are only consequences to the extent that people care about/respect the opinion and judgment of the person giving the endorsement.

    In this case, it's valuable to RFK Jr in so far as individuals listening to Joe Rogan either think Joe has good insights into who should be president, or just want to be like him and will vote the way they think he will vote

  • Kamala Harris Wipes Out Trump’s Swing-State Lead in Election Dead Heat
  • I think that "wipes out" here is referring to the lead that Trump had in the polls previously. All the states went from a clear lead for Trump over Biden, to basically even, with one exception showing a clear lead.

    I think that it suggests a competitive race, rather than one side coasting to victory. It is hard to draw concrete conclusions still, but the clear lead is definitely gone

  • What reading style do you consider more tedious to read, A) short, concise, and precise, but using non-layperson vocabulary, B) using layperson vocabulary, but it's longer, drawn out, and not precise?
  • I think that the answer to this depends on the audience and the topic or nature of the discussion.

    I prefer precise, technical language if the audience has experience in the topic. You can save a lot of time by not explaining things that the readers should, reasonably know.

    I think simpler language is appropriate for a more general audience or higher level discussion.

    It can be challenging to find the right balance on a forum, like this, where you don't necessarily know who the audience is.
