I’m okay with that. I don’t want some program I don’t control having access to the kernel of my system.

At this point Everything Search is goated.

It may be horrible, but this is forever associated with NIN at this point. They’re both good songs, but The Fragile came out right in the middle of my angsty teen phase.

I wouldn’t quite go so far as to say it’s gone “mainstream” since you still have to be moderately nerdy to know about it. I get your point though. This is one of the reasons I am so happy the Steam Deck exists. Before Valve released the Steam Deck nobody wanted to make games for Linux, so Valve said “fuck it, we’ll do it ourselves” and proved it was not only possible, but a better experience overall. While not all games work, having 78-80% of your game library work on Linux, with no Windows OS performance tax, is a great experience. Even with the Proton compatibility layer games generally run faster than on Windows.

To add to what you are saying, I wish they would make that message clearer. The first time I saw it, I thought they were still going to charge me for the extra copy and just not give it to me. Still not 100% sure about it.

JC, a bomb!

It’s the start of that one TNG episode.

He’s not talking about donations though, he’s talking about paying full price THEN tipping. It’s a blatant excuse to pay developers less while placing financial guilt on the people paying for the product. It’s the same way tipping at a restaurant works.

Dragons are cool, but god am I sick of them. The worst part is they are either evil and directly attack people or good and completely missing for 90% of the story.

Voting for Trump ISN’T holding Biden accountable though. It IS putting a right wing wannabe fascist in office. The American people can still hold Biden accountable for his actions without forfeiting their right to vote. Trump Literally wants to be Putin. I don’t approve of Biden, but given the choice I would want him over Trump.

In this scenario, solar energy is the establishment though.

It is inherently NOT punk.

I mean, it’s supposed to be a dystopian world. You’re not supposed to want the world they’re giving you, hence the “punk” part. Too many people ignore that punk movements are meant to fight against an established system. That’s what punk is. When you say something is solarpunk or steampunk you are implying a downside to the established order. If nobody is rebelling it’s not punk.

I get where you are coming from, but the writer of the story was pointing out that artists should not bandwagon other people. Granted, dude is a terrible writer so I don’t blame anyone for missing the point. Also, the Gordon Ramsey analogy doesn’t quite work as Gordon is only the host of the show and doesn’t actually create it.

I’m also too lazy to invest significant time into anything. 🤷‍♂️

Sounds like a skill issue. lol

Yeah, but the cables still have major standardization issues. It’s almost impossible to reliably tell if a cable can be used for power and data or just power, leading to people either thinking a cable is broken or over-spending.

Why would Windows users be crying. Most users have ambivalence/hate relationship with it.

That’s most news today.

Ironically I have found the best way to remember something is to tell myself to forget about it, because I then have to remember the thing I need to forget about. Unfortunately, this seems to mostly work for obligations rather than stuff that is fun.
