I have enjoyed manjaro. My sons first laptop ran manjaro with WINE for his gaming. It never gave him too many problems

Yes

Did, back in the day. I’d put on my Pink Floyd “Dark Side of the Moon” and we’d get real high.

I bought my Technics Direct-drive turntable Model SL-Q20 in 1981 or 1982, still working like a champ.

Exactly what they did to me. I fought them on it. It was basically a shakedown racket and to get my diploma I decided it was better to pay and hold a grudge and have it written on my tombstone for posterity.

This happened to me in college. The dorms were “locked” over the holidays and student residents were not allowed to even access the dorm building, when we returned back to school after new year’s, the hallway and apartment doors had been vandalized. The university passed the bill on to each of the residents of the building, even without any way we could have stopped it, since campus police would’ve arrested anyone found attempting to get into our dorms.

I know you’re right, it’s a Sisyphean task to push back against the tides of corporate greed, but I still will push and save my old school games for archival purposes for my grandchildren, and I will hope that they appreciate my death by the big corporate boulder, was for their gaming freedom.

I’ve just bought my very first Xbox. It’s Series X, and although I like it well enough, I’ll probably never buy another Microsoft product. My software & my games need to be on my discs, not the cloud. I’m not interested in renting or leasing games with the game pass. I’ve already started amassing a nice collection of used/older Xbox games from various sources, probably have enough to keep me busy for the next decade. So, this mantra of “You’ll own nothing and you’ll be happy” isn’t going to work in my case.

I don’t take joy in suffering of anyone. My only experience of the Burning man festival is on the hilarious episode of “Malcom in the Middle.” Also, rain in the desert is often a mixed blessing

Preferred DOS 6.22. Win95 was glorified Win3.11FWG

I can’t get it to play. YouTube is disabling lemmy,world ;)

I am assuming that is metaphorical?

It has always been my understanding that uBlock and uBlock Origin were two totally different extensions for ad blocking. Is this not correct? Back several year ago when ad blockers were new, I recall seeing two different Firefox listings for them, and people would caution users to get uBlock Origin and not the other truncated named one

Linus shits on entrepreneurship with his continual BS with easily caught bad data. No reputable companies should touch him. Anything he pushes to his viewers should be suspicious. I’ll be wondering how much LMG gets under the table for posting positive reviews.

My in-laws gave my son an HP Envy. I placed a big Apple logo next to the HP logo. I have Apple logos on my trash bins too. Basically, any trash around the house gets an Apple logo stuck to it

I finally increased the Ram to 8Gb on my in laws 2009 iMac core 2duo, it’s pretty snappy again.

I have always striven to remain at the cutting edge of obsolescence. It is fun to keep old tech going

Thanks for answering. Is a old computer with thunderbolt 2 port able to connect thunderbolt 3 & 4 monitors or storage devices? I’m tempted to get an old thunderbolt 2 card for my computer, but don’t know if it’s really a useable port in 2023

So far, nothing I’ve ever owned has had a C connector, I have two computers with c ports, but nothing to plug in to them. Also, does the thunderbolt look like the USBc? If you plug in a thunderbolt device into a USBc, does it work or burn out the port?

Edit: why did this get only 18 downvotes?

Will wearing polarized sunglasses thwart the eye scanning? This world timeline is starting to freak me out.
