“My ignorance is just as good as your knowledge”

I’ll be in my bunk.

Well that didn’t tell me a damn thing about the game.

Do you by chance live near a pet graveyard built on Native American burial grounds?

I’m afraid you ate the onion on this one.

Nobody cares

The Great Filter awaits us all.

Look at this guy over here who thinks there aren’t any innocent people in prison.

I think you meant VHS won out. Betamax was also a video cassette format.

And yes, porn had a lot to do with why VHS won!

As someone who volunteered in an animal shelter I can sadly say that is not the case, more frequently than it should be.

Is it possible he has a growing brain tumor, without the required substrate?

I’ve been using Windows since 3.11. I’ve been supporting it for a career since 1998 (although almost entirely servers not desktops for the last 23 years). I’m tired of Microsoft’s bullshit.

On the other hand, my expertise at resolving their (server) bullshit over the last couple decades sure did pay well. So I guess it wasn’t all bad. But these days they can kiss my ass.

Yeah I haven’t completely gotten rid of Windows. I have it installed on another SSD but in the last 8 months since I switched, I’ve only needed it for Dyson Sphere Project (needed AutoHotKey), Deadlock (crashes too often in Linux and they ban you for 2 hours every time you leave a game), and whenever I feel like playing C&C Generals which for some reason runs like absolute dogshit on my Linux box despite everything else working fine.

But that Windows SSD has nothing, NOTHING on it but Steam games and Winamp. Microsoft isn’t getting access to a damn thing anymore when it comes to personal data. I’m tired of protecting myself against them, and FFS I’ve been a Microsoft backoffice sysadmin for over 25 years so I know how, but I’m still sick of it! I don’t even surf the web on that install. I play my game and when I’m done I boot back to Tumbleweed!

Gonna have to look into Lutris, I really like the idea of that sandboxing!

Worked on me, I finally switched (like, REALLY switched) on my primary PC this year after using Linux only for servers and hobby projects for a long time. My only regret is that I may not live long enough to have used Linux longer than I used Windows. I’d have to make it to my mid 80’s just to break even.

Valve gets all the credit. Gaming was the main thing holding me back all this time.

After reading your comment I realized I didn’t really know the difference between a ‘pickup’ and a ‘truck’. I found this pretty informative:

I will never stop being amused at the various ways participants on a discussion app try to stifle or prevent discussions.

It’s right in his manifesto. He’s being FORCED to share space with all us undesirables.
