  It is a perfect baseline OS. It gets people connected to Steam faster and easier to Windows, which is the main access to most games.

  Biggest obstacles to venturing out in Linux is the documentation for everything is not built or assuming normie users. The default assumption of competancy does not exist in Windows manuals.

  But even so using Homebrew in Bazzite is no more complex than in Windows.

  Windows can automount USB drives, so a flash drive can get inadvertently formatted, (or something to do with the bootloader, i don’t know the technical details that well.) Point is the automounting can break a flash drive that isn’t formatted for windows.

  Switched everything to Bazzite as a start. Easiest switch after figuring out Windows sabotages boot drives.

  I may have pirated all my Windows but man it feels good to be off that ride. Spoofing corporate licenses for the authenticator was such a hassle.

  There was an episode I remember where they explored Mexican cuisine and a contestant said ‘Gacky-molo’ for ‘Guacamole’ and that has stuck with me since.

  Naming Robo R66-Y was funny though for the scene.

  “R66-Y? That’s no good for a name! How about… R66-Y!”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When you say you don't like linux on Lemmy⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s a high likelihood they sent themselves that message so they could screenshot it and go ‘Look what the Linux users do!’ It’s what OP appears to do, mostly given it’s what users like them often do.

  I mean in his head he started governing since the golden escalator.

  Considering how the ruling parties have acted since that moment: he’d mostly be right in thinking that way.

  I sometimes blast this while driving. It’s such a strangely upbeat menu theme.

  Ugh, and folinic acid is just a vitamin that can, in some cases and conditions, help with some language processing issues.

  Like it can help with apraxia. It’s not a cure for autism. Or anything.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A ‘demoralizing' trend has computer science grads out of work — even minimum wage jobs. Are 6-figure tech careers over?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yep. It’s the only real option in my opinion. My spouse’s student loans weren’t fixed and they’d fluctuate so much in payments and started accruing balance randomly. Our homeownership allowed us to leverage another fixed loan to pay off her variable loans. Now it’s just a steady small payment for 15 years.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A ‘demoralizing' trend has computer science grads out of work — even minimum wage jobs. Are 6-figure tech careers over?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s also looking at just pure numbers.

  I was forced to move every year I was a tenant. I hated it. And the fees and expenses of moving weren’t insignificant, not to mention the time. Some places I lived I never unpacked.

  But now I have kids. Things like school districts matter.

  Stability matters beyond the strict dollar amount sometimes, if not most times.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A ‘demoralizing' trend has computer science grads out of work — even minimum wage jobs. Are 6-figure tech careers over?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I did the math. I bought in 2019 and all those costs and expenses were nothing compared to ballooning rent. My monthly housing expenses went down across the board. The equivalent cost of rent since purchasing dwarfs closing costs and even all the maintenance that’s gone into the place. Rent (in America) is calculated to cover all possible homeownership costs so I’m paying for the new fridge or hot water heater one way or another.

  Plus I haven’t had to move legislative districts since.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter, a JRPG, just got released on Steam—and this is a big deal because this game is to PC what Final Fantasy VII was to PlayStation.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not to mention it was amid a crashout with Nintendo where Square struck a deal with Sony making the Playstation a sudden major contender.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A ‘demoralizing' trend has computer science grads out of work — even minimum wage jobs. Are 6-figure tech careers over?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Homeowning and paying a mortgage, especially now, is the single most important thing maintaining my quality of life.

  A neighbor recently sold and it is now a rental. Paying that rent would effectively raise my housing costs about $20k a year.

  It’s almost exactly the same house and lot. It’s insane.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Political discourse⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Here I distinctly recall a user calling the execution of Julius Streicher an inhumane act and that we lost our humanity executing unrepentant Nazis.

  So that’s fun.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Political discourse⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s more likely to be Nationalist Bolshevism. The correct term is should be ‘NazBol’ and they’re nationalistic right wingers.

  Keep in mind some users on Lemmy use the term ‘tankie’ to include anyone with opposition to capitalism and will argue to include anyone who is pro-palestinian or even anti-war ironically.

  But those users just so happen to be critics of the Nuremburg Trial verdicts, so their opinions matter less than the NazBols to begin with.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Political discourse⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It is clever, you see, that any disagreement must be done online, therefore reinforcing the premise of the meme.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Oh Jesus he is cooked⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The extensive attention to curation, editing, and deleting was the whole point of the manufactured reality being pushed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Has Charlie Kirk ever changed his views on a subject during a debate?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The people asking questions are often fans lobbing questions they know fit the narrative. Like the tiktoker who streamed immediately and apparently stole merch from the booth: they were a fan and in line.
