Glad I'm not the only one with that view.

Never played BoF4, but glad its on PC and playable now.. Just hope the hype makes BoF3 get the same treatment... cause my PS1 disk has a crack in it and I really miss the world that BoF3 built.

DNC thumbing the scales is why we ended up with Trump twice. cause they kept insisting on running candidates no one wanted.

"I just don't understand why he betrayed Us, I mean.. he did nothing but campaign on open contempt for our people, but surely he cant be held accountable for that! This is just so unexpected and blindsiding us!"

What?

are you saying we shouldnt be allowing the Saudi's to use billions of gallons of water, to grow tons of alfalfa (one of the most water intensive crops there is) in the middle of the desert, in a drought, just so they can ship it all back home to saudi arabia to use as animal feed?

Yes, criminals kidnap.

Governments black bag/disappear people.

Disappearing a person has far more darker undertones, too. kidnapping, at least theres a chance there might be a ransom.

there’s still a lot of titles that require tweaking/hacking. And some just refuse to run, period.

run into that shit on windows, too. and theres not compatability layers to blame, there.

Even titles that are marked as Gold on ProtonDB sometimes crash or refuse to run randomly.

and shit doesnt crash on windows? All protons in the world arent going to fix a games inherent bugs that make it crash.

I'm not a techy, or a sys admin, or anything.

I never wanted ot think about my OS. I just want to click things and go.

Linux did have headaches when I switched. Some from my lack of knowledge, some from shit in linux just being fuckywucky. but that was many years ago.

I wouldnt say I'm any smarter today, than i was back then.. but I will say Linux is so much better today than it was back then. Its reached the "it just works" stage, even for gaming, in everything I've tried with it. I am back to where I was on windows all those years ago, where I dont even think about my OS. I just click things and go.

I'm not so foolish to say its all sunshine and lollipops, especially with gaming, I'm sure there will always be a problem that crops up that needs a tweak/patch/config change to fix it.. but honestly? Windows had that shit too. which is why I'd say, from a usability aspect, Linux is pretty much at parity with windows at this point.

And thats for gaming and shit.

if you are just a regular PC user where entertainment/email/bills/etc are all done in the webbrowser? Fuck..Linux has been good and ready for that for over a decade. My grandparents PC has run linux for over 15 years now, without nary an issue.

Nobara too.

I cant remember the last time I had to futz with anything to get a game to work, been well over a year. The games just work. Only extra step compared to windows is the one time effort upon installing steam to enable steam play and set the default proton version to experimental. Experimental has run everything for me, flawlessly, for like a year now.

I'm sure theres still the occasional, rare game that might need some tweaking/setup/patch/whatever to get going.. but thats something you run into on windows from time to time as well, so its hardly a ding against linux.

Primary goal was to neuter and disarm any agency that was actively investigating him, or had the authority to investigate him in the future.

The stolen data was just a happy little side dish he came into, that I'm sure isnt totally already in Russias hands. Just like how government credentials and login information didnt immediately end up in Russia's hands after Musks sham of an agency got a hold of them (it totally did)

I live in a neighborhood that regularly (as in, at least once, often more times a week) has people blasting concert grade speakers until like 4 in the morning, with revving cars, fireworks, gunshots, etc etc.

and thats from people who live there. no airbnbs.

Shitty people are shitty people. at least with an airbnb you have a chance at a break in the neighbors being dickheads.

Theres been only a couple times in my life where I considered an AirBnB over a motel/hotel.

Every time I ended up staying at the Hotel/Motel, because it ended up being cheaper.

I remember looking at an airbnb that was like 25 dollars a night, and went to check out.. and had to do a fucking comic book double take because the 25 dollars a night (was only needing it for one night) ended up being like 250 dollars thanks to bullshit cleaning fees and other exploitative, hidden bullshit.

So if that 25 dollar a night place is now being displayed as 250 dollars a night.. then I forsee AirBnB bookings plummeting.

the motel I ended up at instead was only 75 bucks all in, just as point of reference.

Yes, Thats what I've been saying.

You only have as many rights as an accused criminal does.

and if we can remove due process from someone who is accused of being a criminal, and sent them to a central american torture prison with no judge, jury, hearing, or anything... Then anyone can be sent to a central american torture prison, because all it will take is a baseless accusation to strip you of all your supposedly inalienable rights.

that requires due process, and who needs that when you got ICE picking people up off the streets at random, slapping temporary tattoos on them, to justify throwing them in planes to be sent to torture prisons.

Everyone over 60 years old should be kicked the fuck out of the party and way be made for younger people who have to actually live in the fucking world being created by them.

given how many protected, legal residents, and outright citizens ICE has already picked up without care or concern... I would argue ICE determinations are woefully and legally inadequate for any action, and thus violent resistance to abduction is not only the natural, moral reaction.. its the legal one.

With technology and politics, always assume the worst.

i knew it what it was before i even clicked the spoiler, lol.

"I dont want it to have anything, except google, the biggest invader of privacy there is" :p

i wager it has all the TV stuff gutted out, including the tuner.. Which admittedly is only a problem if you use OTA and not cable.

If it gets me Bea Arthurs nudes then its a sacrifice i'm willing to make.
