• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Screw MS⁩ ⁨⁨14⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Twenty years or so ago I’d give MS credit for helping spawn a global PC hardware industry by standardizing an OS platform. I figured not just the Nvidias and Intels but the Dells, the EVGAs, and the MSIs all were a net positive and supported by there being a windows.

  This was because I always compared them to Apple.

  So much more now I understand the folly of being limited to comparing the bad choices and ignoring the good options.

  Humans before the Ice Age were fishing for tuna in the deep sea and were coastal hopping everywhere there are coasts to hop.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨WHO DID THIS?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The mod.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GOP overhaul of broadband permit laws: Cities hate it, cable companies love it⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s closer to it. The local permitting jurisdictions get nothing out of approving or denying applications. They get held up for two reasons: the proposal is incomplete/unapprovable by law; and political intervention from an outside entity. Maybe the mayor or a commissioner, sometimes a director of an agency or organization. That’s where any bribery or other such shenanigans would take place. Not the permitting office.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I am fucking tired of this shitty behavior.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  But I seriously doubt anyone is going to give a shit with a user having a personal opinion. I certainly don’t.

  So leave me alone

  Alright then. I’ll easily disengage from this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I am fucking tired of this shitty behavior.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Here’s one comment that I spent my morning digging up instead of enjoying my coffee. Scrolling MWoG isn’t exactly enjoyable.

  lemmy.world/post/29173321/16870997

  I couldn’t find the specific thread I was thinking of that was actively calling for removal. But that’s a comment referencing that demand as a discussed option.

  Digging through post histories and searching lemmy is not something I am ever inclined to do, so I was appealing to a shared experience/memory since the whole push for donations brought up a lot of those discussons everywhere they were.

  Also Meanwhileongrad is on my local feed so I see all the threads and discussions before curation, so I rarely if ever comment propotionally.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I am fucking tired of this shitty behavior.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There was a petition posted awhile back about wanting the Lemmy devs to give away control over the code because of their politics. I will see if I can find it but I think it was over a year ago at this point. I am almost positive it was cm002, but I’ll see if I can find that thread. No harm in seeing if my recollection is accurate.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I am fucking tired of this shitty behavior.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It was going on in the main/top thread of this topic when I opened it. Linking this thread would seem unnecessary? First reply to hamid by cm002 in this post is calling them an alt of another user?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I am fucking tired of this shitty behavior.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  To me it seems mostly as a method to obscure post history. It’s the other side of the coin of users who delete everything 24-48 hours afterwards. Incredibly annoying and only leads me to feel suspicious.

  After all, you’ll note how quick the user is to dive into post histories and theorycraft on who is whose alt accounts. The notion that there’s something to be found in there is some kind of projection for sure.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I am fucking tired of this shitty behavior.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I am pretty sure this user in question is the same that has made previous demands the Lemmy devs ‘sell’ the code to an independent third party like some kind of IMF loan situation. There’s a level of dedication against the platform itself that exists.

  I had always assumed they’d just gone over to piefed and put their crusade to rest.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK about the French Republican Calendar⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Disenfranchised ruling class commits to counter-revolution. Repeat.

  But for that specifically, it is conveniently called the Thermidorian Reaction, using this calendar’s terminology.

  It’ll be taken care of by the new Microsoft CEO: Miguel Sanchez.

  It kinda looks like Hot Fuzz? It’s been a while to remember.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Linux gamers on Steam finally cross over the 3% mark⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Bazzite is a vehicle for Steam. If your basis for using it isn’t ‘gaming through Steam’, you’re already intentionally venturing into un-average lands.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nearly 90% of Windows Games now run on Linux, latest data shows — as Windows 10 dies, gaming on Linux is more viable than ever⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  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.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨As Microsoft Forces Users to Ditch Windows 10, It Announces That It’s Also Turning Windows 11 into an AI-Controlled Monstrosity⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  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.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨As Microsoft Forces Users to Ditch Windows 10, It Announces That It’s Also Turning Windows 11 into an AI-Controlled Monstrosity⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  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.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Discuss⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  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.

  “Gun4anArm” also fits, incidentally.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Update⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  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 ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ 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.

  Again with the word choice!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  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.
