Ditto. Windows is now impossible to decrapify. Have dipped my toe in Linux gaming about a half dozen times starting in 2004 but it never felt ready til now. Proton, nvidia drivers and distros like Nobara making it not just possible but a better experience.

IRC, bulletin boards that had links to each other…. The old net was decentralised by default.

Nice to see someone else was around when the lore was written :D

In NZ instead of AOL it was xtra and Paradise.

Yup.

It’s a sarcastic take on common advice. It’s implied by the inanity of the suggestion. Most people got it, wasn’t something you saw. You’ll get it next time :).

A voting system would make it more likely a programme like that will be abused by bullies to further alienate their victims and place them in the ‘bully’ school.

You’re not wrong but I don’t see what that has to do with my point, which was - don’t blame distros for this. They can influence the conversation but not control it. If you find what you want isn’t supported then pick something that supports most things like Ubuntu, or Nobara.

Driver support is down to the manufacturer. Distros can’t give you things that don’t exist.

North Atlantic accent I think it’s called. Have a read of the wiki. Kinda interesting.

Depends on how fast I’m talking but, yup. South islanders do it more than north ime.

I know when I pronounce it, it’s different on the a/e - NZ English.

I said near the top, lol. There are people there who want to help, like Sanders, but they never have any real power outside their constituency.

She’s not dumb enough to get caught. At this stage governments all over the western world have been selling their voters taxes, health and wellbeing and service regulation to big business since at least the 80s. There’s not a single person near the top of any of these steaming shit heaps that isn’t greedy and amoral.

Most have KERS. This is what it is. My brake lights go on when it hits a certain % of KERS full effect.

You can go back to Counterstrike for that. Was a free mod for half life, then one day you needed Steam to play it. It’s how Steam was released and part of why there was such massive uptake early. Biggest game in the world at the time.

Those were the days. I never thought installing mp3 player software would give me a rootkit, but it did……

This is it for me. Easier to get YouTube family thing and now my family doesn’t have ads and doesn’t have to root a phone to install the other apps. If it was just me, sure. I have another 4 people in my life that are hard work when it comes to tech and I have other things to do with my time.

OP, listen to this person. Docker will earn you cash. Podman is nicer to work with for your own shit.
