- Comment on 6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux? 5 hours ago:
Yep. I’m embarrassed to admit it, but valve dropping support for windows 7 was what made me switch to linux. Until the computer stops working for the average user, they won’t change.

Noooooo. There was an article in the last 6 months about someone connecting a windows xp to the internet just to see what happened, and within 10 minutes it had been scanned and infected. They repeated the experiment several times.
It’s child’s play (like, literally script kiddie level) to run automated scans and if a vulnerability, like a really old operating system, is found to then attack it.

You can see it in the various ‘asklemmy’ communities. When I was left wondering if we were being brigaded by folks from nostupidquestions or having a bot trying to drive engagement with simpleminded stuff, I knew the original lemmy feeling was about to be gone.
It makes me a little grumpy that I have to experience the eternal september.
- Comment on Note: before tariffs 1 day ago:
It’s funny, because I actually enjoy the less realistic versions, like ship of fools. Void crew was fun and all, but didn’t tickle my biscuit enough. Sea of thieves was just sort of… boring. It took too long to get into the fun, and then the fun was over too quickly.

Lol, and here I was imagining the average lemming as a mid 30s-40s dude with a linux thinkpad and a preference for femboys with long socks.

Oh, damn, I forgot about that game. Nice memory jog.

Oh man, I don’t know what to tell you then. Take your aspirin and come reminisce with me about the good old days.

You’re not wrong, but good luck watching out for a vehicle approaching you at a 30 mph differential (which is what I recall from fortnine covering the topic years ago) from behind.

I’d be happy to make you feel less old. Look at it this way: There are people who remember the fall of the Berlin Wall.

Lol, I’m hoping I’m hitting the tipping point for you here ;)

Frying chicken usually makes louds pops and sizzles from the water rapidly boiling away in the oil.
…so loud pissing makes loud watery noises and, there you have it.

Cities have a lot of soft power in that regard. Mine, just as an example, bans parking on grass. Even if you’re not in a fancy neighborhood, and have been parking on your lawn underneath the spreading oak tree for the last 50 years, they can ticket you for it (and tow) if they feel like being ornery.
I think the usual wording for grass/plants goes along the lines of property values and nuisances to bring it within legal frameworks for what they can regulate.

have already starved to death because there’s no food available within 5 standard miles, they tripped over a curb and broke their leg, and some shady looking feller keeps hanging around in the creek back yonder that looks at them shifty…

- Comment on Now that's an interesting question 1 week ago:
Tejas is from the native americans, if I remember rightly. Something to do with ‘friend’ or ‘friendship’ I think. Then it gets filtered through the spanish language before coming to english as texas.
- Comment on 3's grip looks the most comfy 1 week ago:
Oh my god, the explosions with the black ones are horrible, because you don’t realize until you start to grip and the ink just coats your fingers. I love them, but the horror will live forever in my mind.
- Comment on how is it to work everyday but Wednesdays and Thursdays? 1 week ago:
You won’t have a great social life, depending on how much time your job takes up on the weekends. I’m guessing you have an 8 hour workday? You’ll have to plan out your night activities in advance so you don’t get sucked into something that will make your saturday/sunday morning suck. I used to work every weekend, had my days off monday-wed, and it wasn’t great. Your adult responsibilities will love you. You’ll never have to take off to make an appointment for the doctor or for businesses that only deliver when you’d normally be working. However, your friends will always be grumpy that you can’t make the shindig they planned for the weekend, whether it’s just hanging out or going to a festival on the square.
- Comment on Where to find help for a game name 2 weeks ago:
Are you sure it’s not a reference to the tv show Heroes ™ ® (CC) (CCP) (CCCP) (littleoldladywho), and thus he has an unhealthy obsession with savior-figures that transcend the physical boundaries set by the unbreakable rules off reality? The game must be Superman 64, known for its trendsetting skyfall and fast gameplay.

- Comment on Which game is it? 2 weeks ago:
I love the game (and hate it), but it’s my friend who has the autistic fascination. He got me into the game, and then started quoting all the ships’ descriptions as I was looking around. I have no idea how some people can just memorize every armor layout for every ship. That’s next-level insanity.

Oh god, all the clicker games were like fucking methamphetamine to me. I remember there was this ‘city’ clicker one where you built roads, and I straight up played nothing else for three weeks, every moment I could when I wasn’t working. I’m glad I don’t even look in their direction now, because I know I could get sucked back in.
- Comment on Which co-op first person shooters would you recommend? 3 weeks ago:
I think my favorite couch coop game was Resistance on playstation 3. Some friends had it and we spent an entire week blasting through the game. It had a lot of potential for fun, like when I meleed the enemy in the face, then my friend with a sniper rifle slowed time, aimed between my character’s arms for the recoiling head of the enemy and got the headshot.
- Comment on Which co-op first person shooters would you recommend? 3 weeks ago:
The problem with the first (I haven’t played the second), was that it felt like a story game where you play through the story in one go, when it ultimately turned out to be an instance grinding game to get gear to progress.
I went in expecting dark souls with guns, but got the weird love child of world of warcraft and dark souls with a reset button to progress.
