I think you got it. “Let me show you my collection of assorted lengths of wire.”

Panic on Funkotron is a great for that. It has light platforming, chill vibes, and great tunes. It’s a great game world to just hang out in.

Let’s be fair - I bet Shou didn’t embarrass themselves with a return to office mandate the way Zoom did.

People spend more on Apple/Nintendo because of quality.

Perhaps we had very different experiences with the JoyCon…

Joking aside, I agree. I used to buy Nintendo for that reason. Then came JoyCon drift and out of control Nintendo lawyers.

I get that.

I take some comfort that - I know I won’t outlive every asshole, but I think I can outlive a bunch of them.

(This bunch in particular. A bunch of them are ancient.)

The bigger problem right now is that unlike revolutions of old, this time there are millions of people who adore and cherish their overlords and would literally fight to the death to protect them for no other reason than ideological.

This is a message the media owners want us all to accept.

In my experience, very few people want to die or commit violence for some billionaire’s agenda.

Most people just want to live their lives and maybe live to see the assholes in charge have to pretend to care what the rest of us think.

Your choice, of course.

But there’s something to be said for living as well as well can in spite of the bullshit. Especially if there’s folks that rely on us.

Thank you. My big question from this list was “WTF is a Shenmue?”

How shit do you have to be at coding to need to do it at 5am instead of enjoying sunrise on the beach?

This dude needs to get good.

That’s wise. No one is completely sure what happened in Disco Season one, anyway, due to the lack of lighting budget…

that’s because Discovery is just bad fan fiction.

It makes Enterprise worth watching.

How dare you!

I understand not liking Discovery, but I draw the line at encouraging a rewatch of Enterprise!

(I’m kidding. Enterprise wasn’t all that bad… Mostly.)

“$450 is an insanely high price for a new console, so I’m going to buy a $400 2 year old console instead.”

Sure. But it’s also a choice between a library that will forever cost $70 00-$90.00 per game, and a game library infamous for game sales so good that an average player cannot finish their library because the seasonal sales are too good to pass up.

Most KDE apps will run on Gnome and vice-versa, but they might not run particularly well under those conditions.

I used to run into issues with this all the time. Recently, I find, for poplar apps, there’s always a version built for my chosen desktop environment.

Of course, I’m not very picky, anymore: Libre-this, Open-that, Free-Whatever. I usually find the one that comes up in the app search is good enough for what I’m doing.

I feel like linux demands an understanding of the relationship between hardware and software more than windows does.

Yes, when we install Linux on something that didn’t ship with Linux installed.

But in an apples to apples scenario - pre-installed OS provided by the manufacturer, it’s Windows that comes with more bullshit.

And there are (finally!) plenty of options to buy a pre-installed Linux computer, today.

It’s a tiny fraction as many as pre-installed Windows or Mac, of course. But it’s still plenty. There’s a half dozen companies with solid reputations and hardware specialties, and I only need one.

I haven’t especially heard the Linux or Rust stereotype, but it’s fair enough for a funny joke.

Stallman is one of the world’s most prolific C developers, so that part of the joke may be just making fun of his (likely) reluctance to adopt Rust, which is often recommended to C programmers.

“I am a pacifist.”

I had not heard of Trinity Desktop. That does look like a much simpler path to beautiful Windows XP stylings.

Apparently, many people want to make Linux look like Windows 95?

I’d say Linux is somewhere around early Windows XP when it comes to usability for a normal person.

I was confused until it struck me that maybe you don’t consider Windows XP the peak of operating system user interface design.

I’ll admit, Vista really messed with my perspective.

That’s why we got together and agreed on one version of Linux to recommend to new adopters.
