  • How do you install kindness and affection? They’re not on the AUR:

    [yetAnotherUser@discuss.tchncs.de ~]$ paru -S kindness affection
    :: Resolving dependencies...
    error: could not find all required packages:
        kindness (target)
        affection (target)
    

    I have, somehow, found love packaged though. But it’s not true love. It’s LÖVE (a 2d game engine) spelled with an ASCII typeset so I’m pretty sure I have installed the wrong dependency.









  • Honestly, it does sound a bit like a hardware defect somewhere. Usually everything should work OOTB unless you are doing something really specific.

    If you haven’t already done so, try updating the BIOS.

    You mentioned the RAM being fine - have you run Memtest86+ for several hours? One pass is usually not enough to rule out memory malfunctions.

    If you have a spare drive, try installing Linux Mint on it. If it still crashes, you can rule out Windows (and if it doesn’t, you could install a clean Windows on that same drive and try again).

    You could also purchase a cheap AM4 motherboard (they start at like 60 bucks) to check if the issues still occur and refund it within the return window.

    The cases where large companies do win won’t make news though. “Large companies settles with individual” isn’t really headline material now, is it?

    Also, small companies != people. Neither me nor you are a company and even small companies have significantly more resources available to them than someone who just created the next Lord of the Rings and didn’t see a penny.

    There are significantly more companies who would rather start killing politicians than see IP law gone. They rake in billions of shareholder value, much moreso than any AI company out there.

    I never argued that copyright law is necessarily wrong or bad just because we went millenia without it. What I am arguing is that these laws do not allow people to create intellectual works as people in the past were no less artistic than we are today - maybe even moreso.

    Have you seen the impact of IP law on science? It’s horrible. No researcher sees any money from their works - rather they must pay to lose their “rights” and have papers published. Scientific journals have hampered scientific progress and will continue to do so for as long as IP law remains. I would not be surprised if millions of needless deaths could have been prevented if only every medical researcher had access to research.

    IP law serves solely large companies and independent artists see a couple of breadcrumbs. Abolishing IP law - or at the very least limiting it to a couple of years at most - would have hardly any impact on small artists. The vast, vast, VAST majority of artists make hardly any money already. Just check Bandcamp or itch.io and see how many millions of artists there are who will never ever see success. They do not benefit from IP law - so why should we keep it for the top 0.1% of artists who do?
