    Yo, what was your first computer? How old were you, where and how did you get it, what did you do with it, etc.
  • A hand me down from my rich uncle, he paid 5k for it back in the late 2000s, but what I vividly remember was the humongus and ridiculously heavy gaming CRT monitor it came with. That monitor was one of the last gaming CRT monitors ever made, the Sony GDM-FW900, it was expensive as hell back then and still is these days. I remember playing for hours and sweating buckets, that thing would output so much heat it was unreal. The table it sat on would get so hot, i had to move the monitor somewhere else to cool it, huge bubbles formed under it. But man the colors were so crisp, the deepest blacks ive ever seen on a screen, OLED has nothing on that old CRT tech, it also had incredible refresh rates. That system was so powerful it could still run late 2010s game on medium, but eventually parts that couldnt be replaced started to fail and the monitor eventually broke, couldnt find anyone able (or willing) to repair it, apparently repairing it was already hard back then. Eventually i saved up and bought myself a very good build for ~1k, dont use it much for games now, mostly for 3D work.

    What are some items that really aren't worth paying the expensive version for?
  • Renderman, c4D, certain Maya extensions and addons, Nuke and Houdini cant run on linux at all, many indie 3D softwares wont even allow you to install on linux, Marvelous designer wont work, and a shit ton of rendering engines wont work either, the insufferable people here are linux nerds yelling at everyone theyre stupid for using something convenient

    Scientists discover that less intelligent people voted for Brexit
  • The leave campaign was literally "us British have to siphon our tax money to eastern member countries" because the EU makes its wealthier states give money to its poorer states. That and anti-immigrant, xenophobic, racist rhetoric against both eastern Europeans and non-white immigrants brought in from the EU. Literally just fear mongering open borders for allowing "undesirables" in.

    youre right, I wrote my comment too quickly and didnt specify that I was talking about the EU as a whole, i didnt really consider the position Brexiters had vis a vis the EU, of which you wrote about quite well. good context, i need to write more precise comments, hah.

  • hmm, idk in france the new communist parties (who thankfully wholly reject the moronic western trend of demonizing stalin and "stalinism" (whatever the fuck that means)) usually toe that line, through a marxist lens of course, I wrote that comment in jest tbh I shouldve clarified that while Brexit wasnt good, it did show that many people subconsciously realize the EU is designed to fuck them over.

  • Liberal bullshit, half of labour voted leave, you know why? Because they correctly identified that the EU is an antidemocratic neoliberal farce designed to fuck over workers and siphon wealth from the poorer eastern member countries to their wealthier western neighbors, its purposefully complicated and has basically wrangled control of all member's economic policy. Most communist parties in Europe advocate for an end to the EU for very good reasons, its not just a reactionary position, the end of the EU is vital to the emancipation of the working class, period.

  • oh yeah, judging by the french poster this is montreal. Montreal is an utter shitshow, an acquaintance of mine was the victim of a landlord who only took cash, refused her payment for months, took her and other tenants to court over it, won and made her pay thousands back, she had no warning, no letters and only learned she was supposed to turn up to court days before, meaning she had no lawyers. The reason her subhuman landlord did this? Force his tenants to leave under threat of "justice" to break their contracts and bring in new tenants with higher rents. Mind you this isnt and isolated case, in Montreal you can't raise rent, so landlords behave like this, because theyre only interested in fucking over people and earning money nothing else. So fuck landlords, and fuck you if you think landlords are necessary or defensible (theyre not)
