  • Yes. I lived out a life, got married and everything. When I did wake up I just started crying like everything I had ever known just disappeared.

    Looked at this thread to see if anyone mentioned anything like that.

  • I’ve been unemployed since November. It was a time that should have been really happy, and it was for a while, but mostly it’s been the exact kind of stress described by Sunil here.

    I start a new job tomorrow morning, it’s only a few months contract, but it’s something.

  • Just putting an opinion out there, I don’t know how widely liked it is. Quorn was not a good alternative (I say this purely based on personal taste).

    Started eating it in 2010, but haven’t touched it since 2019 with all the other alternatives that you can easily get now.

    Coles branded seitan was really our favourite but they discontinued it.

    Anyway, the amount of stuff I always had to add to Quorn to make it taste alright… what a time.

    But yeah, I’m a meat eating guy and my partner is vegetarian, but for a while now I’ve been mixing it up with fake meats to try and eat less red meat.

  • Horror

    Jump
  • Yes, with Mandriva. I had just switched from 98 to Xp and was like “No, no, no, this sucks!”.

    Mandriva looked so nice in comparison. But no internet, it just wouldn’t connect and I didn’t know how to troubleshoot it.

  • Local shows. I used to go to 3 or 4 a week.

    I stopped doing that around 2017 because I was getting too tired. More like two or three a month.

    None anymore though. I have kids now and I moved away, there’s no venues out here.

    By “concerts” do you mean a big production in a stadium or theatre/hall with seating and tickets are $80/person, that kind of thing? I’ve never been to one.

  • When people think retro, it’s almost always 8/16/32 bit emulation. You could maths share the focus around by putting just as much focus in retro computer piracy.

    Dos, win9x, Amiga, c64. Of course, you need contributors that can provide content to that effect.

    I recently showed someone how to quickly get an older PC Lego racing game working on Linux. They tried and had trouble, I spent about 15 minutes from finding an iso to in-game and racing. So the content must be out there from someone?

  • Mint didn’t really see any sort of popularity until around 2010 as I remember.

    I’m aware it’s initial release was earlier (surprised it was exist in 06!), but the reality of those times is that Ubuntu was still building itself up let alone Mint getting traction yet.

  • We’d grab our bikes and ride across town. If they saw our bikes were gone they knew we’d be back later.

    After the abduction and murder of two local girls, this wasn’t so accepted anymore. Kids were still out and about, but you’d get grilled about where you go, who you’re with, where are you coming home. You were supposed to be at someone’s house, mum would call and make sure that’s where you were. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bega_schoolgirl_murders

    I don’t see any kids out around town anymore now though. Just the ones that walk from the bus stop to their house after school. That might just say more about todays youth culture though.

  • Ubuntu, Knoppix and MEPIS? I first used Ubuntu in 2006, but it was still very immature then. I didn’t really know much about any other Debian derivatives.

    The other big one that was popular was Mandrake but that was rpm based, and a bit later PClinuxOS which was Mandrake based. I didn’t think Debian derivatives were much of a thing then aside from Ubuntu.

  • I love it. Even GEMS stuff people always complain about - Chakan has some of my favourite vgm ever.

    To me, the SNES was terrible sounding. Awful muffled music, or some really good composition but then the SNES puts so much reverb on it that’s all you could hear. It’s not all bad, but mostly. Especially the Final Fantasy games sounded very nice.
