Yeah, Tankies and the red army.

Fought nazi’s in WW2.

Became the nazi’s in 2020.

Thanks for the apt fucking comparison.

Yeah yeah, “I just sit at the table with nazi’s, it doesnt make me a nazi!”

The famous cry of the piece of shit that doesnt want people to know they are a piece of shit.

Tankie not realizing they are part of the new.

Death to Nazis, both new and old.

Nope.

Some people in my family tried to teach me when I was young, but I didnt immediately and perfectly absorb the knowledge of how to master it from the atmosphere, so obviously I was just a piece of shit that was trying to ruin their transmission/car/life and cant appreciate a single fucking thing anyone does for me and that i’m an ungrateful piece of shit and to just get the fuck out of the car and never ask them for anything again (not that I asked them to teach me stick in the first place… They insisted, i suspected then, and continue to do so to this day, that it was just a trap.)

Which really helped my desire to drive, much less drive stick.

Stop, you are hurting DarkThoughts with your logic and common sense. Cant you see how delicate he is?

Yeah. Who thought posting something relevant from a website dedicated to gaming on linux would have any place in a god damn Linux gaming community!

I dont get it.

I think you will find any place thats well moderated and cracks down on bigotry and hatespeech will skew left.

Weird how that is, huh?

Yeah. There has been more than one moment in recent history alone, much less across my years of linux history, where I genuinely was about 30 seconds from taking the tower off the desk and throwing it out the window because it was getting so. stupidly. frustrating. to do something that would be so brainlessly easy on another platform.

but, that was all extra stuff to gaming. Like, installing a mod into cyberpunk 2077. One mod just (a core/foundation mod, of course, that everything else relies on). refused. to work, despite following the linux/proton guide for it, installing all the extra bits via protontricks,etc etc. Or installing a second program into the same prefix so I could fool around and do some cheaty hacky shit (single player games i’ve beaten a half dozen time, folks, before the pitchforks come out.)

The straight, core gaming? and controllers? Pretty much a non issue, in my personal experience. Only extra step is to check proton DB to see if it works, and what proton version to use… and unless its multiplayer with nasty invasive anticheat, its fairly certain to work.

Thats been my enduring gripe about linux.

95% of the time, it works flawlessly and to an astonishing degree considering, in my case, most of what i’m doing is running windows games at reasonable high detail. Something that I didnt think was feasible like 5ish years ago, which makes it triply amazing.

but its that last 5% thats just a miserable fucking slog. Tiny little things like that, that should be so easy, and seem so obvious, yet to do them is next to impossible or convoluted to hell. Like not being able make middle mouse buttom autoscroll instead of paste, or having to edit some obscure file directly to do the thing you need, or being obscure as fuck and difficult to, say, install a second program into a proton prefix for when you want to use a save editor or something for a game you’ve played a thousand times.

Nah.

GN didnt destroy Linus.

GN just assembled everything into a easily digestable package.

It was Linus’s Ego that destroyed Linus.

There should be actual, legitimate, law enforcement involvement… Cause its literally theft at best, corporate espionage at worst.

This

Any simple device, that should just work by plugging it into your computer, that instead demands an internet connection between you and the device… is 100% a device thats designed to steal your information/habits/etc.

because there is no reason to have the expenditure and costs of running a webservice otherwise.

Only thing I want from firefox is to select where I want to download to on mobile.

I have a massive SD card in my device for a fuckin reason… to download shit to it instead of my sparse internal, built in space.

It took longer than I care to admit to realize this was satire.

Which says something about the world and life.

Cant have the jocks get weak and start viewing the other students as people and cohorts.

Still better security consciousness than 99% of the population.

I still wear a mask, 70% because I take care of at-risk relatives, 30% because people treat me better when they cant see my ugly face
