Sigh, I truly meant it as a a way of saying that I don’t care if I am being monitored, I will keep protesting and posting about them.
- Comment on Big Brother Is Watching Your Online Criticism of ICE Crackdowns 4 days ago:
I am happy to accept being the most in the wrong, it is not unreasonable to read it that way.
- Comment on Big Brother Is Watching Your Online Criticism of ICE Crackdowns 4 days ago:
Only due to a mistake, my intention was to to try and show solidarity with the people actually affected by ICE, by saying that I didn’t care if ICE monitored my posts, that it would not prevent me from protesting further.
As I woke up this morning, I realized my mistake and have tried to rectify it.

Fair, my comment was rude and arrogant, though I maintain that it was a (failed) attempt at showing contempt toward ICE, telling them that I will keep critisising even if they monitor my account.

I am fully aware and horrified about chat control, I am doing my best to work against it, please see my other responses to understand what went wrong with my comment.
- Comment on Big Brother Is Watching Your Online Criticism of ICE Crackdowns 4 days ago:
This entire comment chain is a just a mis understanding, I made a bad attempt at being edgy and note that I would not stop protesting ICE just because my account may be monitored.
I can now see how it fell flat, and I am sorry for the miscommunication.
- Comment on Big Brother Is Watching Your Online Criticism of ICE Crackdowns 4 days ago:
Ok, clearly there has been a miscommunication here.
I was trying to say that I don’t care about if I am monitored, I will keep protesting ICE.
I did try and say it a bit edgy which was wrong, I can see that now.
I am sorry for the miscommunication.

No?
I thought I was pretty clear,I was trying to say that I don’t care about if they monitor my account, I will keep protesting ICE on social media

Don’t really care, I am a Swede in Sweden, with no desire to visit the US in the forseeable future.

Yes, but I don’t know if any software on windows can actually send ctrl+alt+del to windows given that the key combo is a system interrupt sequence…

- Comment on Remember the whole covid thing. Well instead of wearing a useless mask THIS GUY had the solution that actually worked 6 days ago:
Back in my early school years, I attended a school built on top of a hill, it had an exciting school yard, it had a wooded area, a small field, two football pitches and a secluded steep stone staircase where few teachers could see you.
Anyway, during one winter I was down at the bottom end of the staircase playing during recess, and there was a brown plastic pipe leaking warm water coming out of the ground.
I was fascinated by how it melted the snow, so I started playing with the water, it went on for a few days, possibly a week, only then did I suddenly see a tissue paper and brown stuff coming out of the pipe…
Yeah, it was a pipe with raw sewage that I had played with, shortly thereafter the pipe was dealt with by the school.
I am 37 now, and I was seldom sick as I grew up…

Sometimes when my room is very cold, I sleep with socks on, though the rest usually stays off.

Oh yes, the original CD release had a Linux installer, I remember installing it on a Dell E5400 running Ubuntu before heading to a LAN party.
Worked great!

Ah, I am currently looking for a Trimui Brick Hammer, though I may start with an Anbernic device and they are easier to come by for me…

- Comment on Unreal Tournament 2004 is getting revived by OldUnreal with approval from Epic Games 1 week ago:
YEEEES!
UT2K4 is my absolute favourite arcade shooter!
I have the original six CD release, the Steam release and the GOG release.
It is such an awesome game!
- Comment on Elon Musk’s Grok Says It Would Kill Every Jewish Person on the Planet to Save Him 1 week ago:
I remember back in 2014 or so, I found a YT channel about companies an tech with very high production values on their videos, they had several videos on Elon and his companies.
And in just about every time they spoke about Elon, they said it like this
Entrepreneur Elon Musk
It kinda became a weird mantra they repeated as if being an Entrepreneur made him some kind of expert.
I noticed that at the time, and it has pissed me off since.

- Comment on steam vs gog, which game store to buy from? 1 week ago:
I have never really pirated games myself, I was always far too worried about malware to do it.
Though, when dad was traveling in Asia back in the early 2000s he used to come back home with a shitload of games/software which most had a folder called crack in the root of the CD…
- Comment on steam vs gog, which game store to buy from? 1 week ago:
Check both, if the game is available on both, then I will get it on Gog.
If not, Steam it is!
I have a few games I enjoy so much that I have bought them several times, including on both Steam and Gog.
An example, back in 2004/2005 I bought Unreal Tournament 2004 on CDs, then when I found it on Steam a few years later, I bought it there as well as I wanted a modern installer, finally I found it on Gog without DRM yet another few years later and bought it there as well.
I love that game and wanted the best installer for it, especially without DRM.
Fun fact, Unreal Tournament 2004 has a native Linux version on the retail disks, you will find a bash install script in the root on one of the CDs
- Comment on DAE name their characters by their official name? 1 week ago:
That is different, the player is seldom refered to by name in games.
Though to keep it classic, I often use AFGNCAAP

Why would BBG move ditch Windows for their client?
Please ar least try to be realistic with your predictions.
- Comment on Criminal court ditches American software giant– Can Dutch universities do without Microsoft? 2 weeks ago:
Correction:
There is an ocean of software alternatives, however there are few alternatives that offer a direct alternative to Microsoft when it comes to being able to put the blame on them.
With most open source systems, the buck stops with you.
Now, I know there are companies that offers to take that buck and accept the risk, though they are not plenty when it comes as a realistic competitor to Microsoft.
Then you need to consider what alternatives exist to all third party software you need to run a company, the vast majority only run on Windows.
I work in the IT department of a company in the finance sector, show me an open source alternative to the Bloomberg client that runs on Linux and is approved by Bloomberg with an add-in that is as integrated into Libre Office as the official client is with Excel.
I guarantee that it is the same in basically every company/sector, they all have workflows that are simply not possible without Windows/Office or Microsoft as a whole.
Ok, so you start a new company, with all computers running open source software, Windows/MacOS is banned, that will only last until you notice that you can earn more money, while wasting time and money, while hiring new staff easier by running Windows/Mac.
Would you rather shutdown you company than accept reality and use Microsoft software.
I want open source to win, but ignoring reality is dumb
