Quoting: EikeYour "argument" has not been convincing.

It wasn't an argument. It was a dismissal.

So what millions of powerless white supremacists are doing is not racism because they are powerless?
Absolution to them, I hear you?

Quoting: EikeI disagree

ok boomer

Your "argument" has not been convincing.

Let's start here:
"Racism is the belief that groups of humans possess different behavioral traits corresponding to physical appearance and can be divided based on the superiority of one race over another." See, no social power needed to do so.

Quoting: DrMcCoyRacism requires social power to codify prejudices into laws and social rules. This is 101 stuff, please read up on the basics.

I disagree. How low and powerless you are, you can still be racist. (In fact, it seems to happen more often for people not feeling much proud of anything else than their colour.) You racism doesn't need to be "successful" for you qualifying as racist.

Would it be so hard to make Steam run directly on ChromeOS that they prefer some VM solution?

Quoting: tonRHey guys. Currently, I'm on migrating little by little from Ubuntu to Linux Mint Debian Edition (LMDE). So, for PC info...

LMDE: Mint or Debian or we need new distro category?

p/s: Please don't ask why I'm not switch to (the real/vanilla) Debian. Just don't ask, please.. :tongue:

Why don't you switch to real Debian, though?

inability to apply traditional digital signature techniques to custom compiled versions of the kernel

Digital signature of the kernel ?
Could anyone develop on that topic ?
I feel we're going down a dangerous and unlikable path there.

There are kernel signed by the distribution, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unified_Extensible_Firmware_Interface#Secure_boot [External Link]

Quoting: Luke_NukemAnyone curious about reverse prime - it works, but not well. The relevant topic is here in the Nvidia forums [External Link].

I'm not sure I even got what it's about. :)
Prime: Plug cable into Computer display output while using the dedicted GPU,
Reverse Prime: Plug cable into GPU output while using the graphics unit of the CPU
- is that it?

Quoting: furaxhornyxFor example, I have 2 monitors, one is 180Hz with Gsync, and the other is 75Hz, so technically I could play at 180Hz (max) with Gsync enabled, (like I did when I was using Windows), but under linux, I am capped at 75Hz with no Gsync...

So I am afraid that the answer to these question will be biased.

If I had such a setup, i'd disable the second monitor for gaming to get what I payed for.

Quoting: BigJLiam, is there a way to give you a referral credit if I buy any games?

AFAIK, there's no such thing for Steam. (Not specific for GoL, it didn't exist at all.)
