If it’s after something like a concert it’s people catching the leftover sound waves from the music in their hands so they can take them home and keep them

I probably wouldn’t use it as a main search engine because I don’t know how trustworthy it is, but whenever I can’t find some obscure piece of media or something I’ve had amazing results from Yandex

When I was like 5 or so I used to have these really weird dreams where I was like floating in a solid color void and then there were like big orbs you could eat and I remember them having a very unique texture when you bit into them.

One of my friends with a similar list of skills on indeed got an email from them asking him to apply to be a bikini model

Oops The App™ depended on a server we’ve now shut down in favor of supporting The App™ Elite Edition, which does not support your device. Please upgrade to a new speaker

They may not have realized it, but until UEFI-only computers started becoming common, people mostly were still effectively drawing the line at IBM compatibility

What’s the fundamental difference between an Intel Macbook and my old 2018 Lenovo laptop? Either of them can run modern Windows, Linux, whatever. For most modern uses, they’re basically equivalent. The one thing that makes the Lenovo different though is its firmware. The Lenovo has BIOS support and the Mac doesn’t.

If you then add my current Framework laptop, which is UEFI-only, to the comparison though, it gets kind of fuzzy. It’s clearly not a Mac, but what is there to really define it as a PC? It can’t run MacOS, but that doesn’t really work to separate it because plenty of PCs can run MacOS. It’s not made by Apple, but if that’s all it takes then is a Chromebook or one of the Talos POWER workstations a PC too? It’s kind of hard to say the Framework is a PC without including so many other things that the term PC kind of loses all meaning.

I think the term PC has just outlived its usefulness and we need to move on to saying more specific things than that to describe computers. In most modern contexts, all that matters is what architecture a computer is and what operating systems will run on it, and PC just isn’t really a great term to convey that information anymore.

I hate how microsoft seems to think they own the term PC now and it can mean anything they want. Some of the “Copilot+ PCs” they’re advertising on things like this have ARM CPUs which means they aren’t PCs. I would even argue that a lot of x86 computers aren’t PCs now because they only support UEFI booting so aren’t PC compatible. They need to just call them computers or come up with a new term

Linux roleplay except it’s just you by yourself

Once it’s over he can never run again and will stop being relevant

Somewhere around 2017 I bought an old dell precision from 2011 for $25, put a radeon rx 570 in it a few years later and used it as my main computer until last year when I finally got around to building a replacement

Do NOT give the carrot industry that idea

Sorry, if I said any more I would be violating the prime directive

Hmmmmmmmm give us an update on that in a couple years

I think it’s just that computers and programming are a really good escape from the world around you and that attracts anyone who feels in some way trapped or unseen in real life, especially with open source software where you really are free to make your computer into your own customized personal little world where you feel safe.

I always think it’s so funny that the old stereotypical gray haired man or neckbeard linux user got replaced by the new stereotypical transfem linux user. Now that there’s less need to compile our own software there’s more time to compile our own genders

The stupid paid texture packs and maps and skins on the marketplace

Minecraft pocket edition has microtransactions but it only ever pushes them on the menu never actually in game so maybe that’s a compromise? Also it’s simple but this port of Simon Tatham’s portable puzzle collection is pretty good and has no ads or microtransactions https://f-droid.org/en/packages/name.boyle.chris.sgtpuzzles/

Gonna be honest there are few things I would like less than the criminalizing of my main way of keeping in contact with people. I genuinely think doing that would cause a spike in suicide rates because there are so many people who would just suddenly be completely isolated from having any community

I played so much supertuxkart in middle school, then got pretty good at figuring out how to configure wine to make everything work in high school, and now as an adult wine has gotten so good that I just click on whatever I want to play on steam and 90% of the time it just works flawlessly, I don’t even always remember which games are native and which are running in wine these days.

Anyway yeah, using linux never made me spend less time playing games
