Working at MSN Tech support during the. Blaster Worm and its subsequent variants which triggered reboots in Windows 98-XP, I was put off from every version of Windows including XP, and it was the last windows I installed.

After working an 8 hour shift of repeating the same proceedure on a customers machine to properly fix the virus every 15 minutes, the same thing I had done every day for three weeks, I came home to find my XP machine bootlooping due to the second variant (Sophos) finding its way into my patched machine as the fix for it had come out while I was at work. Instead of joining the Freelancer LAN party I was due to be at that weekend, I spent the time fixing my machine and learning Linux. That year Windows became a secondary install, and remained that way until Wine had stabalised for most games I played. I think I dropped dual boot around 2011.

You’re damned right they didn’t.

Why does this seed smell like poop?

Jam = sticky

Sticky things clog. Jam when it gets stuck somewhere thickens as it dries into a rubbery mess.

Hence the concept of something being “jammed” becoming synonymous with clogged, blocked, disrupted.

Spam and Rice wrapped in seaweed?

If only Ripley’s Aquarium wasn’t such an atrocity against sea life.

Only Aquarium I’ve ever been two where half the animals are visibly sick with fungal infections, and rather than quarantine and treatment, they just replace them like stock.

Rioting. Burning down the government, and hanging/decapitating the rich.

I guess they want that rolled back to the old methods as well.

Admittedly took me far too long to confirm this was, indeed, satire.

I often play docked, but when I do I am usually playing something with high graphics demand (FFVII Rebirth) where I flip to desktop mode and use the Steam Link app to connect to my PC. If you are looking to play a really high end game via streaming, I recommended not using the SteamOS streaming and rather using the SteamLink app. Performance and controller detection work much better.

For local games I’m playing stuff more like Moonstone Island, Planet Crafter, etc and it works great. I like the ability to slap on some extra peripherals. I attach a small USB keyboard for games that occasionally need it, and a mouse, but I generally play with the PS5 controller I have.

My one beef is Smart TVs like my Samsung playing poorly with their stupid “smart device detection”… And it some times takes some playing around to get the video to connect properly (sound comes through)… A problem absent from my “dumb” Westinghouse TV/DVD combo LCDs i grabbed. So YMMV on connectivity if you have a less than well built Smart TV.

Source or something?

Fuck capitalism.

I think the word drink was originally only an action, until someone started to refer to all drinkable items as “drinks” and the language adapted.

A similar thing is happening now, as people call things that can be eaten, “eats”. So you can " eat an eat"

I’m a Xennial and I have hated the LOL shit right from the start. Actually aside from the basic abbreviations from IRC, I tend to avoid acronyms entirely and prefer properly typed messages. Anyone sending “lol” with every message won’t see a lot of responses from me.

I recommend using Droidify client for FDroid, it has all the repositories and they can be easily enabled in its config, including microG.

Zimaboards do not need RAM. They include it (do not confuse it with the Zimablade).

I just use the default hardware with the Zimaboards. Zimaboard 832s for the masters and nodes, and I recently added a couple of Zimaboard 2s for larger nodes as those have 16gb.

I like the boards, they perform well and the intel cpus in them have internal GPUs so for light transcoding or GPU loads they can be leveraged without need for GPU cards. After trying several other x86 based options, Zimaboards are my preferred option.

I used Zimaboards. They are affordable and all you need if you couple the cluster with a TrueNAS Scale box and setup Democratic CSI.

This one?

No doubt to be sent to the districts where Trump needs votes and somehow magically get voting enrollment in time for November.

Trump and Musk are just trying to concentrate the white christo-fascism in the US.

Its Wile E.
