Go with CachyOS and hyprland.

Yes. It’s pretty obvious. People in these positions need to not be so easily compromised by something as simple as money whether that is the president or anyone else.

And yes woman are treated worse and often the fall girls for a corrupt admin. But it doesn’t mean they shouldn’t be removed. They all need to be.

Can you not think of a scenario where your taking money from people can lead to compromising situations for the country?

Generally, once upon a time, people with bad financial situations did not get security clearance. Gambling debt? No clearance. Sugar baby? No clearance. It opens you up to being compromised.

That’s the thing about slippery slopes. You don’t really know where the point you slip is.

Ope. Starbucks won’t like that.

I don’t have anything to hide but I also don’t have anything I want them to see.

What is that supposed to mean? Fuck off with that nonsense.

Something that don’t scrape my usage data might be more interesting to me. If there were an app that had a list of open source projects and I could select which ones I use or just want to support and then get provided an easy way to donate to them all or just even their donation links that would be great. Eliminate going through my computer and I think it’s fantastic.

That’s an interesting theory on the CPUs. Though it walways takes longer for prices to drop than it does to rise. I’ll be keeping an eye out.

You’re right that selling the parts may not actually be profitable or even recoup expenses. Though I was thinking I had a gpu that’s decent enough for my 1080p gaming so could sell whatever 5000 series comes with it for cheap and give someone a nice deal.

What is the feasibility of getting a prebuilt gaming PC and using it for the parts I need/want and selling the rest of it? Anyone do this?

My old HTPC is running a Z87 motherboard with a 4770k i5 cpu with 16gb of ddr3 ram. It is chugging along. I had plans to build out something new in the same case but I don’t want to feed into this bullshit by buying now. The more people show their willingness to pay these prices the happier manufacturers and retailers will be to charge them. But I think it might get worse, too, and maybe not better. Ugh.

Whatever I build might be the last one I do considering how long I kept this one.
