Can’t wait for his handheld MiSTer

Black alert! Prepare to engage the spore drive.

I’ve never used an AI companion. Does it mostly just ask you questions about yourself? If not, what is the appeal of them?

Clearly they are filling a hole of some sort for you, just like drugs do. To stop using, you have to understand your reactions to your unfilled needs and make the necessary changes. It’s hard to do this, but you’ll be a better person for it.

Usually the best way to meet people as an adult is to join a club or social group of some sort. Find people who share your interests and you’ll have opportunities to make connections.

I’m very disappointed you registered an account and in your inability to grasp reality. Welcome to my block list.

This is the way

He just hit the final S in that system

He probably should have taken this medication under the supervision of Dr. Toboggan.

I think a large portion of it comes from an intolerance for troubleshooting issues with their hardware drivers. Nvidia has definitely been a huge part of this over the years with their limited Linux support, but other hardware manufacturers are also sometimes hostile towards anything but Windows support.

I think there is a vocal population of Nvidia GPU users who see their very expensive graphics card working well under Windows but having some crippling problems with whatever drivers are available on Linux, so they blame Linux. They don’t take the time to understand the complexity of the situation, and I’m not sure that it matters that they do at the end of the day.

People should just use what works for them. Nobody should try to be a purist about tools or entertainment. I’ve been a professional system admin for both Linux and Windows, and while I have an unshakable preference for Linux and open source software in general, I will use whatever tool I need to use. Fusion 360 is a piece of software that has been great for my CAD needs, but I’ve had trouble making it work reliably through WINE, so I just boot to a Windows installation on a SFF PC I keep around specifically for 3D printing stuff. No big deal.

I’ve seen the same thing. I remember thinking to myself a couple of times, “This isn’t the dunk you think it is.”

There’s clearly a fundamental misunderstanding there about how Linux development happens when the majority of the terrible memes treat the thousands of open source projects that go into the myriad of different distributions as a single monolithic effort run by some central authority. Or that there’s some coordinated effort to obscure the truth about switching from Windows because evangelizing the gospel of Linux is more important than everything else. And that’s beside the fact that so many of the memes aren’t even grounded in fact or are just badly outdated.

I’ve never bothered to interact with anyone there, and everyone is entitled to an opinion, but I legitimately think that there are issues at play here that go beyond mere preferences in operating systems. I won’t antagonize the situation because of that.

Yeah, I’m Linux-only and have been for the last 17 years, but we are not a significant percentage of the gaming market. Still less than 3% last time I checked.

Otherwise, yeah fuck kernel anticheats that don’t even stop cheating.

Xzibit approves

I’ll try it on my MiSTer once it’s available. The arcade original is already available to compare this version with

What he really needed was for his country to stop ignoring the true cost of sending troops into dangerous situations and for us to support him properly.

If we as Americans can’t take care of our soldiers once they’ve come home, then we can’t afford to be the world police. I’m thoroughly disgusted and ashamed of my government for allowing this situation to happen.

You are a good person for trying to help him, but realistically he needs constant support from professionals.

We would have gotten there sooner, but we were on a break!

Yes, good. Give in to your hatred (of Copilot). It makes you powerful!

Christ, that’s a lot of words to try to twist some meaningless point out of a difference in semantics.

Fortunately it’s a matter of public record and you don’t need to listen to stories.

Bernie joined the party. He had to in order to run as a Democrat. He later became independent again.

The parties get to decide who can run in the primaries
