Yeah, stuff that is able to be taught is vital to have archives, but some Twitch streamer playing some MMO/shooter/scary game isn't what I would consider very imperative to get backed up. :P

It doesn't help that people put silly things onto the IA. I've seen some things like YouTube videos that really didn't need to be there (they have, objectively, nothing of value enough to warrant taking up space on these servers that could be used for more important materials..).

Yes, going off of your reply, I can assume that the myriad programs that I run into that I might like to use are much much more niche in my case.

Thank you for your reply! It is good to finally get some sense of what kind of stuff people on Linux only use. I am probably just a niche example, but it still sucks since I want to ONLY use Linux. :/

I can safely say that over 20 years of mainly Windows, I have never had any crashes or bugs. Ever.

I was using the same install of Windows since 2017, up to 2021, without a single issue. Why I had to reinstall it was because of a foolish mistake on my part, late late at night, trying to install Linux on a spare SSD I had lying around thanks to a laptop was really struggling to do anything any longer. Again, this was my fault 100% as I didn't understand SDA/SDB/etc. I do now though!

With Linux, there is always something that prevents me from using my computer in a manner that I would consider "normal". I mainly game. I use save editors, WeMod, and love to use mods on games that support it. I like how easy it is to set up my NAS, through Windows, without any extra fussing around in some config file somewhere. I like that I can just do what I'm planning to do with the computer that day, unlike in Linux where sometimes I can't even do something basic like set a jpg as a poster for a downloaded YouTube video on Plex that is all hosted on my NAS. On openSUSE, apparently I can't just do that. There is some arbitrary permissions issue preventing me from doing that, while on Windows, it just works.

Sometimes I wonder what actual programs Linux permanents use on the daily. I truly find it hard to believe it is a lot of applications, because most of the applications I like/need to use, will not work on Linux through Wine/Bottles/Proton. Nor do they have a Linux alternative. It makes me sad, because I truly want to get off that OS, but the wide amount of things I like to do always get snagged up on something in Linux.

All this to say that I absolutely fucking LOVE Linux, what it stands for, and the idea behind it. Just a counter argument, is all.

P.S. I've been an on and off again Linux noob since at least 2010, and even today, I am still trying to make the move. It's just not as simple as the Linux evangelicals like to say it is.

I'm glad it is, truly. I just wish I would've known sooner so I could join...

Hearing about this 4 days before it was going to happen just seems like poor planning...

You need a solid month at the very minimum if you really want people to see, prepare, and be there....

Thank god they finally said something.

I was asking people the other day if they remembered the train derailment that leaked chemicals straight into the fucking creeks and even let loose a plume of, what I would consider hazardous, smoke into the air.

They said they didn’t.

Anker. Still have cables I got in 2018. I’m not rough with my stuff though, so take it as you will.

Well, at first I was begrudgingly trying to find SOME way to not use it. I don’t want it, I don’t need it, and the game most definitely does not need it.

Then, after an hour of trying to find that avenue, I said, “Okay. I have a PSN account from way back on the PS3, so I’ll just fucking use that I guess.”

Cue to me finding my login stuff, trying to log in, getting a password reset prompt, click the reset password link, and wait for the email to arrive.

Dear reader, the email NEVER arrived, and then they would say that I had sent a request already and then I said fuck this, fuck Sony, I’ll just pirate the game.

Then, I was able to play the fucking game.

Awh, they hurt themself in their own stupidity. :(

It's okay, Donnie boy, we all know how stupid you are. :')

Yeah! God forbid we keep Democracy running for a few more years while we all get our collective asses into gear and start tackling issues one at a time instead of being tugged to and fro from issue to issue!

One can dream, at least.

I am the exact same.

8 years, as I only started caring about politics when I saw Trump stamping his little feet over all of the progress we had made after Obama.

Now, I'm ready to watch this shit burn. Fuck it. I've got my one way ticket ready for when it truly goes to hell.

Looks tired and WEAK. SAD!!!

A nazi wannabe dictator who also happens to be a russian asset at that!

Go do that, little buddy!

The adults will take over from here, and once again, clean up the mess of fools like you.

Have a good day! :)

Don't forget they did the same exact play when Helldivers released. They didn't have it in at first, put it in, and took it back out.

This means they will continuously try and try to make this the norm. I see a lot of comments talking about buying the games now, and I just want to reiterate that they will try this exact same thing again after a few months to even a year or two. Don't get complacent.

Hmm... it's almost like you can't just one issue a problem away. It's almost like being a one issue idiot is the cause of what we are seeing right now.. Hmmm...

It's almost like progress takes time, while dismantling shit takes a week... HMMM....

It's almost like we, unfortunately, have to work for progress brick by brick.... HMMMMMMMMM....

It's almost like you and everyone like you being complacent about the takeover of the USA is why we are where we are now...... HMMMMMMMMMMM.....

It's almost like you and those like you will now never get what you say you want....

Who would've thought, right?

Put your best jester outfit on, because the new king of the USA has fools like you to thank for his reign. I'm sure he would clap for you to do more of your silly little dances. You know.. "for democracy".

Well, really, a group of unhinged and unchecked people.

Do it, ya little piggie.

Thank you!

I've played through them before way back on the Xbox 360, but Steam had a sale for them a couple of years ago for like $20, so I couldn't resist getting them for a superior platform.

The EA app is by and large the only thing that truly sucks about these games. I already beat Mass Effect 1 again, and damn is that game boring at times. The story is still great of course, but it definitely shows it's age! Mods have alleviated most of what I hated (looking at you MAKO...) and now I am about 75% through Mass Effect 2. I've beat ME3 before, but it has been so long that I'm hoping it isn't as bad as I remember.

I played Mass Effect 2 first at the time, because I was renting games from a local video rental place. Loved it to bits. It's crazy being able to play it with Alec Ryder's armor from Andromeda. Fits Shep to a T!
