My cats are 14 and one of the little assholes JUST learned how to do this. Sigh.

Apparently I am a Tumbleweed user in Fedora clothing.

M’lady.

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

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.

Violence yes, starship combat not so much (in the TV shows anyway). I love watching the battles from the movies but yeah, that shit’s expensive yo!

I think the internet solved the whole “boobies seen per capita” thing.

Anyone who watches Star Trek for the space battles must REAAAALLLY be into delayed gratification.

But what if someone hid a Bat’leth inside one of them?

That’s a man who knows his game.

“A fully developed hurricane releases the same amount of energy as the explosion of a 10-megaton nuke every 20 minutes”

So Tsar at planned 100 is equivalent to 3 hours 20 minutes worth of hurricane energy.

Wouldn’t do shit.

Physics shows us the energy required just can’t be generated by man. All the nukes in the world won’t stop one hurricane.

Infamous for being filled with garbage sex articles to further screw up women’s self esteem.

Wrong group of people to try to get a Cosmo article out of.

Needs Mandy and Color out of Space options.

I mean, I do.
