Had some windows users loving the Cinnamon DE on Mint. They managed to get right into it straight away. Plus, on most Linux distros they come with easy to use package managers. And you can still get deb or rpm packages that can be used to install applications just like a windows installer exe.

AWOO gimme the wolf

I watch because its stupid. Its like why Call of Duty exists. Just dumb fun that doesn’t require much thought to enjoy. Sometimes you just need some good dumb fun and can’t be serious all the time.

Those alternatives are old tech that has way more limitations than a neural implant.

Just because there is old tech that SORT OF does this, doesn’t mean it can’t be improved. That’s the same attitude behind “not needing more than 4mb of RAM” back in the day. You can’t stop progress all because YOU are fine with the current state of the tech.

Based on your reaction, I’d hate to hear your opinion on AI. Let me guess, its corpo data theft and only data theft?

What about the multitude of FOSS projects that even you could use if you wanted?

Its simple and lightweight. Can optionally get it on the app store if you want.

Natural Harvest

or something like that I think

Awesome

Hoping I’ll find a good fps in this. Been looking for one for a while now. Most of them are basically fancy doom wads and quake clones. Might be able to find something of a more modern style.

Don’t think I’ve ever seen one before.

I swear I’ve had stuff with stripped screws right from the store.

Can you have a normal debate without resorting to ridiculous attacks like this? Grow up.

The term “assault weapon” is being used by people who know nothing about firearms to refer to anything that isn’t an old bolt action these days.

Its meaningless

Meanwhile, 5.56 is plenty if you are accurate.

And, the US military is currently adopting the MCX Fury as their new standard issue rifle.

That thing fires the .277 fury cartridge that is way better at armor penetration than 5.56 ever could be.

And the reason .308 isn’t used as much for most military issued rifles is more to do with recoil and capacity than anything to do with the ballistics.

A .308 would be far better for killing literally anything than 5.56, but is mostly for use in semi-auto marksman rifles and some snipers. Where accuracy of first shot matters more than volume of fire.

It would certainly help.

What is the point in making up terms for firearms that have never been used for them even by the military?

It only serves to muddy the waters and scare people.

A machine gun, traditionally, is a fully automatic firearm in a rifle format.

Think light machine guns (M249, PKM) or a sub-machine gun (MP5, P90)

A machine pistol isn’t technically a “machine gun” despite the name. In fact, the classification of machine pistols is a debated topic even now.

In many places, they are classified as any other pistol. In others, they considered a form of PDW or Personal Defense Weapon.

But, PDW can sometimes refer to a specific class of SMG like the P90. Basically, a compact firearm with a cartridge around 6mm or so. Which the P90 fires a 5.7mm round.

Its complicated. And we should not be painting all firearms with the same brush.

Keep thinking that. Meanwhile most people here wouldn’t be able to fight off someone with a knife.

It takes size and muscle, shooting the attacker takes a single trigger pull.

You may not like to hear it, but guns aren’t going anywhere. Maybe if we stop making out gun owners to be some raging lunatics. Then they may be more likely to give them up.

This is all pointless anyway.
