Good morning sir/ma’am I’m here to tell you about our Lord and Savior Linus Torvalds. He sacrificed his wallet to bring you a free and open operating systems. We don’t judge what flavor of Linux you use. As long as you agree that Linus saved us from Bill Gates who stole ancient secrets from the ruins of Xerox Parc and has since embraced the evil that is bloat ware.
Through Linux you can be saved!

Luckily I don’t play a lot of big title shooters anymore.
- Comment on Windows 11 is now the most popular OS for PC gaming 2 months ago:
Haha, for non-gaming I already have. The main gaming PC has always been Windows ever since trying gaming on Linux over a decade ago. Been having no issues though lately on my laptop I use for travel. So it’s probably time.

When EOL for 10 happens I’m making the full move to Fedora
- Comment on Microsoft’s Xbox Is Planning More Cuts After Studio Closings - Bloomberg 6 months ago:
That was my take too. “We’re spread too thin”… Then why the fuck did you buy up all these companies? Sure sounds like they just gobbled up all the good IP to hoard like a dragon on its pile of gold. Or to make sure those IPs don’t make it to Sony exclusives, wish the FTC would hang them by the balls since they’ve basically done opposite of what they promised during the mergers.

I swear lately they’re pushing bad updates on purpose.
Want to mass remove that bad update? We can help with that … for money
- Comment on Movie industry demands US law requiring ISPs to block piracy websites 7 months ago:
Yeah, well they should keep it up. If they can prove in a US court that a “website is bad” they can make the same argument in the jurisdiction the website is hosted in, the Internet is great because it’s not (mostly) stuck under a single country’s thumb

If it’s that big a deal go after the service providers for the servers, this type of shit just makes inhibiting free speech easier.
If I don’t want people using Truth Social I guess making a bunch of accounts to share torrent links would be enough to shut it down?
The MPAA still has never been able to demonstrate that privacy even has actual impacts on movie and ticket sales… When Netflix was super convenient and had a lot of content piracy went down. Turns out splitting to dozens of streaming services made it difficult enough that people just went back to sailing the high seas. So lower your prices, make it more convenient to pay for services and people will just do that instead.

Check out Project Highrise. Felt pretty similar to the nostalgia.

- Comment on Starbreeze admits Payday 3 is massively underperforming 9 months ago:
Don’t forget taking forever for an initial patch release, despite there being multiple game breaking bugs.
The state the game was at release was absolutely awful.
The only folks who kept playing that I know were folks grinding for the final levels/achievements/weapons. Which consisted of playing in unenjoyable ways like using bad load outs, doing stupid crap like tagging a billion guards, etc. Who wants to pay money for an unenjoyable grind?
They released a decent patch, some new content and DLC but everyone has already moved on. They totally screwed themselves, sucks it’s an IP that I like, but more games need to fail like this so publishers stop doing the same bullshit

Curious about how the cabal can be a dog whistle. Can you enlighten me? The wiki article didn’t help. Though learning the etymology was cool.
- Comment on New Report: Over 40% of Google Drive Files Contain Sensitive Info 11 months ago:
This article just reads as an ad for the scanning company.
Also, while it’s possibly true, it’s based off seriously small sample sizes.
- Comment on Tesla will sue you for $50,000 if you try to resell your Cybertruck in the first year 1 year ago:
I mean that is slightly better. Still a waste of money. Get enhanced autopilot and leave it there.
- Comment on Tesla will sue you for $50,000 if you try to resell your Cybertruck in the first year 1 year ago:
Forget the obvious bullshit that is being unable to sell it. What’s this about autopilot/FSD not being transferable?
Who the hell would buy this monstrosity of a truck. Be sure not to buy FSD since it will be a lost cost and never recouped for a capability that really doesn’t work yet. $12,000 down the drain.
- Comment on Mozillas petition to get an answer from Microsoft, is it using your data to train its AI? 1 year ago:
Why should a company get to use my work and data for free to train their AI, for which they’ll make a ton of money, without compensating me. At a minimum they should be informing me so I can make that choice with full knowledge.
This isn’t a university or educational research either, this is one of the largest companies in the world with Billions of dollars in annual revenue. And to top it off, I already have to pay them for their operating system and annually for their office suite. So not only am I paying them for their product, they’ll then steal my data to train an AI to try and sell that to us too?
That’s not even taking into account any concerns with “AI might replace me at my job” that a number of folks have.
- Comment on weapons 1 year ago:
Anything with a suppressor! Lol, love the 1911s just need a bigger mag. But primary right now swaps between the suppressed 1911 and a suppressed modified maelstrom with short scope, semi auto, and some other mods. The 1911 dps is awesome, but 45 ammo is still a pretty rare drop for me. Buying it every time I see it. The maelstrom is great for when I need more range or just don’t want to reload every other second.
The rest of my quickbar changes a lot depending on what I find that’s higher damage or dps. Rifles are my go to, but I’m trying to do a lot more stealth play (stealth overhaul mod made it way more fun), so the sneaky pistol shooting really brings back some MGS feel (until I break stealth and just go run and gun which happens almost every time eventually… which is actually exactly how my MGS playthroughs would go too).
Oh and you gotta have a good 40mm grenade launcher too just in case you get really pissed off!
- Comment on Signal is Flawed, Why XMPP is Amazing! (new animated video) 1 year ago:
The US Military also uses IRC, is that the future too? I’m sick of the ridiculous Signal hate with basically no good reason. Basically everything is run in AWS, or Azure, or Google cloud. All the governments have contracts with those cloud providers, because almost every organization large enough has things in the cloud.
Obfuscation is not meant to be foolproof. Without something like the Tor network (oh wait, the NSA and other organizations have already taken over that) WHO you talk to is not hard to determine. If someone is monitoring ALL network traffic in the world, they’ll know who is talking to who everywhere. But with good end to end encryption and no server side logging recording who you talk to, that’s definitely a good enough combo for me.
XMPP is certainly not a bad protocol, but I’m not seeing a reason to justify the Signal hate.
- Comment on What shows had awkward or otherwise poor returns from cancelations? 1 year ago:
I liked the new season so far. But like anything, searching for nostalgia is never going to work. It’ll never hit like it did when you were 20 years younger and watching the show for the first time
