Unless something’s gone over my head here, this is off by around 6 orders of magnitude.

Putting aside the braggadocio here, find someone that makes you happy and that you enjoy spending time with. But also, try to quit the habit of framing human relationships in clinical, strictly biological language. It’s frankly quite weird and off-putting and comes across as antisocial.

It sounds like you ruined it for yourself. Judging from all of your replies and especially this one in particular, you seem to lack the ability to take basic accountability for your own actions. I would suggest reflecting on the cause-and-effect in the anecdotes you’ve shared and try to visualize how they might played out were the roles reversed and other people spoke to/treated you the way that you describe treating them. Even if you have some degree of sociopathy (I’m not a mental health professional by any means), you should still be able to reflect on these situations on an intellectual and objective level and consider that you might be the cause of these conflicts.

What’s your problem?

Unless I’m mistaken, X has never had proper color management support in the first place.

When is the last time you tried a Wayland DE? I can’t speak to them all, but Plasma for one has been in really good shape for basically everything a typical user might want to do with it for around a year now.

X11 versus Wayland isn’t some kind of holy war; Wayland was specifically designed as a successor protocol to the largely cobbled-together X and is objectively superior to it in most ways outside of accessibility.

I’m not a constitutional lawyer, but I don’t think this is right at all. Whether or not he “technically” won in 2016, the election was officially certified and he went on to serve a 4 year term. That term isn’t invalidated even if electoral irregularities are discovered after the fact.

“systemd bad”

Not sure what the situation is on the NVIDIA side, but Mesa’s raytracing performance is… lacking. Don’t get me wrong; it’s amazing that it works as well as it does, but even with a high-end card it’s not the best experience. I don’t personally care much about RT, but if I were more into it I would probably consider setting up a Windows dual-boot.

The way I look at it is that most of my time spent fighting with the compiler is usually made up for in time saved debugging. I’m in the process of RIIRing a hobby project and so far most of the ported code just works, and I only end up needing to fix a few dumb logic mistakes before it’s fully up and running.

I mean, you can’t exactly just throw computing power at modern cryptography and expect to get results. I don’t know the exact numbers off the top of my head, but I believe all the computing power on Earth right now would take on the order of at least thousands of years to brute force a good password hash (assuming a strong password), and that’s assuming the attacker already has the salt. This makes it less of a budgetary constraint and much more of a practical one.

You’re generally required to provide identification if you’re arrested and in some US states police can compel you to identify yourself under certain other circumstances, but otherwise yes, in the US you are never required to talk to police beyond this.

I’m not going to respond with a lot of depth because I don’t think I have a good enough understanding here to be particularly helpful, but I suspect a collar would be considered as inappropriate in a school because of its strong association with BDSM practices alongside the general societal expectation that one’s sexuality is kept out of the public eye. I think that notion can also apply more broadly to the situation as a whole, at least to an outside observer.

Speak for yourself. I buy stuff for my apartment because I want it to feel homey; I don’t really care what other people think of it as long as it looks presentable.

This generally isn’t true. The SSA makes an effort to assign a unique number to each individual. It’s happened before where two people have accidentally gotten the same SSN, but they try to avoid this.

Another interesting aspect of this is that many of the German loanwords used in English rely on this fact without English speakers realizing it. For instance: Schadenfreude = “misfortune pleasure”, Zeitgeist = “time ghost”, and Doppelgänger = “double walker”.

So, have you actually used a 144 Hz display yourself?

Completely untrue and not even up for debate. You’d know this if you had ever used a high-refresh rate display.

I’m not familiar with the specific install/upgrade process on Gentoo so maybe I’m missing something, but what’s wrong with forcing new installations to use time64 and then forcing existing installs to do some kind of offline migration from a live disk a decade or so down the line? I feel like it’s probably somewhat uncommon for an installation of any distro to be used continuously for that amount of time (at least in a desktop context), and if anyone could be expected to be able to handle a manual intervention like this, it’s long-time Gentoo users.

The bonus of this would be that it wouldn’t be necessary to introduce a new lib* folder - the entire system either uses time64 or it doesn’t. Maybe this still wouldn’t be possible though depending on how source packages are distributed; like I said I dont really know Gentoo.
