there are three choices of creamer:

- powdered glass and sugar
- powdered vegetable oil and sugar

silicon dioxide (powdered glass) is commonly used as an anticaking or flow agent, including in coffee creamers

Reply to comment by hollyhoppet in microsoft's copilot (open an LLM helper) key might be the last straw to me going to linux by hollyhoppet
I want to say at least two years now. I used Ubuntu for >10 years before that, but I kept running into issues with snaps which drove me to Pop.
On the side, System76 (popos people) is making a new Rust-based "Cosmic" desktop to eventually replace the GNOME based one. If you've used cosmic-text
in a Rust project, that is what it's from!

Ya! My only arguments for pop os ("Pop! OS") is that i love the defaults, so i'll just list the defaults i like
it's based on ubuntu, which is based on debian, has no "snaps" (bad package manager system that has caused my a lot of problems), and it's custom GNOME-based desktop environment has builtin window tiling and stacking.
i like tiling a lot because i dislike the other tiling WMs which all expect you to memorize shortcuts.
i have an nvidia GPU so the ISO that comes with the appropriate drivers builtin is very very nice

I'm a longtime Linux user here. If you're looking for any distro recommendations, I can write a really long annoying post about it. (luv luv luv popos)
Proton IS awesome. If you told me in 2017 that "Linux desktop is going to be a viable platform for Gamers" I would have thought you were a delusional Linux stan.
But now, videogames which don't work on Linux are the exception and that's increasingly rare. It's mind-boggling. Most of the exceptions are competitive online games with anticheat enabled.

Reply to comment by nitori in worlds best post censored by moderators becomes worlds greatest controversy. its title? "heh... by facts and logic... you must vote for joe biden" by twovests
eugh we're on the same side, but this just reminds me of why i don't visit raddle. this masterlist sucks
to be clear without irony: i can't vote for joe biden, and facts and logic don't dictate you should vote for him. but this masterlist sucks lol
(my "joe biden facts and logic" full post goes into the philosophy of thought, acknowledging humans can't have all the facts and logic, and so much rely on modeling uncertainty, thinking epistemologically, and using heuristics. the conclusion is that if voting for joe biden causes bile to raise up your throat, you shouldn't vote for him.
but thats meandering and not a good post so i didnt post it. used 1600 words when "voting for joe biden makes me puke" is enough)
anyways. the list
the very first link is republican propaganda! it's a "GOP War Room" youtube video that cuts him off mid sentence to make the b it juicy. (30 years ago, biden said "what happens to haiti doesn't impact us national interests, even if it started levitating or sinking." the gross part is the first bit, but it focuses on the "levitating or sinking" bit.)
and the republican propaganda is not even the worst part!
it's disingenuous to pretend the biden admin's actions regarding lgbt people, students, labor, etc. are (1) not significantly better than the trump admin, or (2) even comparable to supporting genocide or putting children in cages.
the "Student?" one is the worst part. student loan forgiveness is the brightest point in the biden admin. they tried to get $10K/student relieved, and fought it all the way to the supreme court. they've done everything else they can do short of packing the courts, and they've forgiven like $10 billion in student loans so far, as well as forgiving interest and making repayments easier.
this is on the same list that (correctly) points out how important joe biden is to the ongoing genocide machine.
i think this lesser-evilism thing is self-defeating. "lesser evilism" is just compromise, and i'm compromising when i ally with the kind of people who make these kinds of lists. (but to be clear, i'm not allied with the OP. from their post history, i think they'd qualify half of jstpst as white supremacists)
tldr: joe biden sucks but i dont want to be facebook about it

one one hand, joe biden is probably more like. 50% hitler. maybe 10% hitler at best.
but honestly 1% hitler is too much hitler!
when i think of voting for joe biden, there is a part of me that pushes bile up my throat to my tongue.
probably because of the 10% hitler thing.
and i think it's making a VERY compelling argument not to vote for joe biden
