System76 sells desktops too. Not sure about Tuxedo.

I think they mean “smart” as in “smart tv” i.e. spyware (at best)

Obvious answer: “people who game on Linux and ‘need’ 240Hz”

Probably not that relevant when not gaming, just as on Windows.

No. As you get older your social life will change and reboot as you find new friends and interests and move apart from the old ones.

The only constant is change.

It’s fine from when I’m standing (using Voyager). What client are you using?

Wouldn’t a giant slider be just a burger?

I said, “IT MIGHT WORK BUT GOD DAMN DOES IT SMELL AWFUL, AND MAKE DISHES AND SPONGES SMELL AWFUL.”

Because American ideals don’t line up with American reality.

It might work but god damn does it smell awful, and make dishes and sponges smell awful.

I have. It’s good. I hadn’t played since EA in 2022 (hence my comment).

Lots more polish and finishing touches. I’m quite impressed especially because it felt pretty complete back then.

The 1.0 release is much different and much improved compared to how it was in 2022 though. I’d say it counts anyway!

To any idiots out there, yes, Luigi's actions were in fucking vain assholes so don't say it

Well I’ll be the idiot.

I think it’s hard to say that it was in vain. I feel like it demonstrated some important points clearly:

• people are very upset with insurance companies and by extension the healthcare system. (Note the lack of negative reaction from the public even as the media tried hard to demonize Luigi)
• megacorps arent invulnerable against those with nothing to lose. (I think it’s easy to draw the line between Luigi and companies backing off from a few over the top policies)
• how much the media are in bed with and/or controlled by those same megacorps. (Again, the blatant attempt to demonize Luigi followed by dropping coverage as the public didn’t react the way they wanted)

If it was going to have true impact it needed to be followed up by more incidents and copycats. Without that it’s only a nudge, and maybe not a wake-up call, let alone the full-on revolution that may be needed to force change. (Not speaking of political overthrow of the government, that’s a whole other topic)

Luigi may not have been the pebble that launched an avalanche but neither was he nothing.

I think it’s closer to “whatever they want it to mean so they can persecute their enemies”

The thing is I have yet to see any reasonable alternatives.

Threema is the closest but it’s not free-of-charge, so a non-starter for most of my friends.

The others are controlled by Russia (telegram) or Meta. What else even is viable?

No. Some people just can’t handle subtlety.

Oh they’re talking about a data breach.

I thought maybe they’d just given in and changed how they referred to “customers”

This is the onion right? …right?

The only advantage I see is that it actually seems to keep a better handle on the status of the process/service. The old-style init scripts would often get out of sync and not realize that a process had died, or if they did they would repeatedly respawn a service that would just die again. Maybe that was less of a problem in later years than I experienced earlier, but it was there.

The whole init.d system felt very ad-hoc with every script working a little bit differently, giving different output styles, etc.

I mean the TLDR covers it pretty well. It’s only like 3 steps. YMMV but use what you’re comfortable with. Linux will be here waiting if you ever decide to dip your toes in (or take the plunge)

TL;DR

You need to

• Install d3dcompiler_47
• Install vcrun2022
• Adjust the Steam launch option to be: WINEDLLOVERRIDES="winmm,version=n,b" %command%

That’s not “just to be able to play a game”. Mods are always whole ‘nother thing, that’s not exclusive to Linux.
