  • I see. I remember there used to be issues with Intel GPUs on linux back 10-15 years ago, but it should work without issues today.

    However, on Linux mint you do have to open the driver manager and select your proprietary graphics driver yourself or you end up with the open source one which is not always as performant (though more backwards compatible). It should have the Intel drivers in there too. In general, only the graphics drivers need to be installed by the user and everything else should be set automatically.

    And in the case they were installed, rolling back to an earlier version of the driver might also improve it. It looks like Intel has stopped providing updates to the i7-3770 since a few years back, so a later Intel driver could be causing issues.

    It should work without any choppiness in the OS itself, but it might take a bit more configuration than newer ones that generally just immediately work.

  • I am not talking about the method in which the questioning took place or how lit it was. If the problem was "Hasan's room was too dim, there were not enough witnesses, and not recorded properly" that's a different though serious issue. We're not going to remove questioning altogether because of that. Again, we're discussing whether him being questioned is reasonable or expected, not the method in which it happened. Of course these things should be monitored by multiple people or at least logged.

    Same goes with your other point. If you have an issue with who should decide and who should enforce, that's not a Hasan problem. If we're shitting on the trump administration, then let me get the turd clipper, because I'm all for it. But there was nothing outrageous about Hasan being questioned.

  • Anyone who has recently been in any contact with terrorists should expect to be questioned regardless of motive. It is to confirm that indeed those are the motives and that you aren't being blackmailed and forced. This is basic immigration checking.

    And no, questioning does not mean arrest. Going behind bars is a huge leap in logic. Being questioned is inconvenient but is neither punishment nor silencing. They were not sending a message.

    when you travel to any country, they have the right to question you for whatever reason just like you have the right to information from them.

  • Mind if I ask some things? If you don't want to try again, you can ignore this.

    Did this happen while you were trying it out on the USB, or had the installation finished and you had removed the USB and restarted?

    Were the nvidia d rivers installed in the driver manager? Was there any difference with the open source drivers?

    Was secure boot disabled in your BIOS?

    Was it a laptop or desktop? In case of laptop it might have been using battery saver mode. installing https://github.com/linrunner/TLP might have helped setting it up properly if you don't want to handle it yourself.

    What graphics card do you have? I can check if there are any compatibility issues, though there shouldn't be unless it is decades old, in which case you might want to try out one of the more old hardware compatibility focused Linux distros.

  • Nobody's asking you to "give Hasan a pass"

    This whole subthread is literally about why Hasan being questioned for communicating with terrorists is unsurprising.

    All the downvoted people are saying "makes sense since he literally supports a terrorist organization"

    The rest are just people arguing "an eye for an eye", "I don't think they should be labeled terrorists", and "it was justified terrorism", none of which matter in this conversation, because anyone who has been in contact with or expressed support for any terrorist organization should be questioned. He doesn't have to be arrested specifically, but definitely questioned. They're ignoring the topic to virtue signal, but this conversation is about the justification for Hasan's questioning, which still is "absolutely yes he should be questioned" and now that it's also been resolved, that's that.

  • If the context was "America kidnapped civilians" and someone said "I think what the Americans are doing is a good thing", then yes, that would paint a bad picture. And it was vague at first but after Hasan explained himself in the debate, it became clear that he was excusing the kidnappings.

    Do you not think what they did was terrorism? Do you want to explain to the hostages that they were just overreacting and that their kidnappers actually aren't that bad, and it's just some dogma?

  • That is not as obvious as you think it is. I would argue that the first thing most people would think it meant is "americans deserved to die", not "the Bush administration deserved the scrutiny and criticism it brought"

  • No one is arguing whether America or Israel is bad.

    No one deserved to be killed or lose their loved ones on 9/11 or any other event. Thinking that civilians deserve to die because a government is bad is terrorist mentality.

  • No one sympathizes with the houthis.

    Also I'm not leaving out any context. There is no universe where anything the houthis did was excusable. Hasan did explain it, and it made him look worse. He tries to justify the kidnapping of innocent civilians (some Asian workers who had nothing to do with it, who were working on a brittish vessel only partially owned by some Jewish person.) and holding them hostage for a year in that debate. "What else were they supposed to do?" How about not terrorism? How about going to Palestine? How about activism, propaganda, anything other than terrorism?

  • You're trying to delegitimize what I'm saying by saying I'm emotional and unspecific, and attacking my character. You're purposefully playing dumb to avoid the actual point I'm making. Then you try to move the goalpost by asking what he's done that is illegal or wrong, which is not what I'm talking about.

    Here are the direct quotes so there is no mistaking it. Both points were reiterated in the video you linked.

    "I think what the houthis are doing is a good thing" -Hasan

    "We support you" -Hasan when interviewing a houthi terrorist.

    Hasan is a terrorist supporter as evident by the above direct quotes.

    As for what I found disgusting was when he excused his claims about the rape allegations being false and saying there was no evidence. Also in the video you linked.

    Nobody is surprised by this, your behavior makes it crystal clear this is the kind of position you would have.

    What is your point with this? Are you shaming me for watching the full debate that was supposed to clear everything up on both sides? Also didn't you just link an asmongold-style reaction video to that whole debate?

  • Which part is nonsense? The part where he said the houthis actions were a good thing, the part in the full debate you linked where he quadrupled down on it, or the fact that the houthis are registered as a terrorist organization and have kidnapped and held innocent civilians hostage for a year?

    I saw the full unedited Ethan and Hasan debate, and Hasan's context and excuses just made me disgusted.

  • The fact that you have to pay a service to pay taxes in the US is insane.

    Here in japan if you work full-time or part-time your company files for you and you just fill in 5-10 fields of some sheet and then you're golden. The company is required to help you.

    If you file your own taxes you go to the official tax website, follow their web form to input data, and then it generates a PDF. You then either use your mynumber to send the data and pay taxes online, or you go to the tax office (for about 30 minutes) and submit/pay there. It then let's you save your data in a file so you can finish your taxes in 5 minutes every year from then on.

    If you don't have internet or a computer, you go to the tax office and go to their support desk that help you file on paper.

  • Can and glass jar drinks taste so much better to begin with. I never got why PET became the goto bottle... cans recycle so well too...

    It feels like if we can have a 2x price increase on everything and somehow manage, we could have banned PET and had a 1.05x price increase and not even notice it.
