No they are.. when you run on a VM it is indistinguishable to the software from running on the OS itself... the only thing a VM cant do is if it needs access to the GPU, so its not a solution for games of things with GPU acceleration, outside of that 100% of apps are garunteed to work because it looks identical to the app to windows.

What they mean when they say it isnt compatible is that it wont run on linux directly.

@voidabyss

It is not. I am fairly certain they are a real person.

@freepeoplesfreepress

@trinsec

any software your job makes you use will almost certainly run on linux, thats easy... a VM being the easiest solution, but then WINE works if you want it to feel more native.

@trinsec

I have yet to find a windows game I couldnt play on linux... and more often than not they play better on linux than on windows... there are some exceptions of course but they are getting fewer every day.

By that logic piracy isnt stealing, its more like forced slavery since your stealing peoples time rather than a physical object.

@trinsec I just increased the size of my mouse slightly and it usually works for me as long as im at my home computer... in sunlight on my laptop is another story though

@trinsec mac and linux have similar features to show the mouse if you want it.

No where in there (according to the search for keywrods) is the topic being discussed here even showing up.... so yea, I can say you didnt do the work at addressing this post in anyway.

Now if your saying you thought about and discussed aspects of gun control before... sure, ok, so what?

@SteelFolk

@TruthSandwich

Yea Im not going to read that long post when it doesnt even reference the two laws I talked about here at all, and thus isnt relevant to the discussion so far as I can tell.

Feel free to cite/quote yourself if/where you find it relevant though.

@SteelFolk @TruthSandwich

Obviously i ean more towards deregulation of guns and weapons than most. But that aside even if you are for gun regulation its very hard to see democrats as even remotely sane when it comes to gun control... in fact they literally make guns MORE dangerous not less with many of their efforts.

I never would have heard about Threads if it werent for the fediverse... which I find ironic because I signed up to it just to keep an eye, something i wouldnt have done if it wasnt for the anti-threads commotion going on over here.

@TruthSandwich

Your whole argument is "making guns more dangerous and ensuring more innocent people die in accidents is better than doing nothing! Vote democrat!"

My eyes have never rolled harder in my life.

@SteelFolk

@TruthSandwich

Sure, and doing nothing here would have put less lives at risk...

@SteelFolk

@TruthSandwich

Yes the democrats beleive in gun control... they ultimately fail at expressing their beleifs and instead make guns less safe and controlled not more.

No this has nothing to do with a state-by-state patchwork, this law is at the federal level and a perfect example why democrats should loose their privilages when it comes to defining gun laws.

The republicans didnt make this law, what they beleive is irrelevant other than as a distraction to the point, which is that democrats are loony tunes and dont even rub their two brain cells together when coming up with legislation.

There is no choice here to be had, The democrats have literally made the gun issue worse, doing nothing would have been better than this.

@SteelFolk

@TruthSandwich @SteelFolk

Yup, and for someone who is about to commit murder that makes absolutely no difference.

So you have a scenario where all the good guys who want to obey laws are required to handle a weapon in its most dangerous form and will likely kill innocent people unintentionally as a result...but for those people who want to intentionally kill people and have the increased accuracy, they just need to buy an off the stock butt stock and pop it on in 5 minutes and they are good to use it to kill the people they want to kill...

And you think this law has even the smallest iota of sanity to it? Man that takes an impressive amount of disconnect with reality if you think the democrats have done anything useful with such a law.

@TruthSandwich @SteelFolk

More dangerous... its still just as useful, the bullets kill just as much as always, the only difference is you kill a bunch of people you dont intend to along the way. Not to mention any criminal with half a brain can easily attach a buttock to it.

@TruthSandwich @SteelFolk

Thats not accurate...

Carbines are less concealable than pistols, more so than rifles. Likewise carbines are longer range than a pistol but shorter than a rifle.

Carbines are not "the worst of both worlds"... they sit right in the middle providing a traide off of each.. the bad qualities are a mix of both just as the good qualities are a mix of both.

Regardless of if you want to argue if we should outlaw carbines or not, that is irrelavant to the point of the post, which is that what we have right now has nothing to do with anything other than to make carbines MORE dangerous not less, if that is your concern.
