    I use it for my servers and for remotely programming for over a decade. Using it on a desktop setup for work or games? Fuck no!

    It’s my criticism of the Linux community: They don’t understand what “being productive” really means. I need to do work during the day, and produce results. I don’t have time to deal with my docking station not working, monitors settings breaking, and tinker with them every day… not because I can’t, but because I SHOULDN’T NEED TO.

    It was cool when I was a teenager… now I need to make money.

    As frustrating as it sounds. On windows and mac, literally plug and play. Every time I get the exact same setup. On Linux… dear Lord… every day a different problem and a different tinker until I swore that I’m done, and went back to remote use of Linux. Linux terminal is perfect, and that’s probably all I’ll need. Linux desktop through VNC, if ever.


  • Genuinely would love to see your proof that the potential damage of doing nothing is worse than two years of inflation.

    Easy. Hire me as your president, then I’ll do that job.

    What a joke! Now because I’m right, it’s my job (apparently) to argue with you for another few hours about a potential plan that no one gives a shit about for an imaginary scenario. It took me hours to make you admit a truth you already know. Imagine how long it’ll take to make you learn something new you never heard of. Yeah… no thanks. Have a good day. Mission accomplished.


  • I’m not conceding shit lol

    Yeah, right. Your ego is eating you alive it’s becoming funny.

    You made up like half the shit you claim

    Yet you got a paper proving my point, and the best you got is that I’m “exaggerating”. Good on you. I’m still right.

    If you’ve come here and said “it’s not 100%, it’s 50%”, I would never have argued with you. But because you know I’m right, you had to use a straw man. See? This is how you detect disingenuous people who aren’t here to learn or be honest, but are here to assert their dumb, impractical political agendas. No matter how you turn it, stimulus fucked the US economy. Period.


  • “Economic science”… you basically mean “Keynesian economics” bullshit. Yeah, and it’s not really 100, it’s 50 since Nixon separated gold from us dollars, and we’re seeing the great effects and the huge instability in the whole world’s economy.

    And besides your Keynesian economics bullshit, all I argued is simple supply and demand, which has been true for thousands of years, since humans started creating farms inside fences. So spare me your bullshit and condescension. The only fantasy here is the communism you, and other ignorant Lemmy users, are living in your heads. I do hope you get your wish, and I’ll be laughing watching you getting shot in the Gulag.


  • Wait, am I hearing that stimmy DID affect inflation? lol! I’m happy you’re conceding at least.

    Whether it’s third or half, doesn’t really matter. You can calibrate your factors depending on your model to get many different results and the truth will never be known, because all models and wrong and some models are useful. The point here is: I’m right, and stimmy checks caused inflation like you just admitted. Period. Stop arguing over nothing! And stop making straw mans to facilitate attacks on my point like you did two comments ago. Grow up!


  • How else can you show your fake knowledge without a straw man? I’m not surprised. Let’s follow up with that stupid comment you made.

    You do understand that within 1 year of COVID the money supply was multiplied by 3, if not more, right?

    Yes… we printed like 60% of the money supply, flooded the system with cash, created a tremendous bull market in stocks and all risk-on assets, and we expect it not to affect inflation. That’s what you’re trying to say. That’s sane, right?

    You wish… not only we printed all that money, but we also handed cash to people to spend it in the economy, which created a spike in demand. But no… that has nothing to do with inflation. That’s INSANE!

    Spare me your ignorance. Go read a book.
