I’m nostalgic for Ubuntu when it still had Unity as default, and Linux mint around 2014. That’s when I began coding, and that’s the time I liked the look of them more than the current modern offerings. Plus there was more ease of customization it felt like

I think they just want to kill Russians anywhere and everywhere. That’s one less that will come to Ukraine. I don’t blame them

people are shitty

Oh we’re seeing all the bad will caused by the CIA throughout the 60s-80s and countless wars in my lifetime finally catch up with us. People in the Americas and Africa have learned what we did in their countries to keep murderous despots in power in the name of fighting communism and protecting business interests.

All China and Russia had to do to get them to start flipping was a little money, and not even that in some cases.

Just try to live my life like I did during all the bad presidents I’ve had over my life. I grew up protesting against George Bush Jr and my friends still died in Iraq. now I just try to live my best life, and love and help protect others. I’ve always been lower class and on the outside of middle class suburban America, so I’m used to just going about my life, no matter what’s taboo, or illegal at the time. Hell, DnD was the devil when I was growing up and I still played it. I still smoked weed when it was illegal, and I’ll still love a man even if they say I can’t.

I mean he’s kinda right if we don’t just commit to fully helping Ukraine instead of waffling with every budget, bill, and election.

But him saying that is a good way to motivate stubborn Americans, so he can keep on saying it. It’ll get us going.

I’ve always wanted a game that I could pilot from the planet to space and we’re here

I prefer launch no man sky to what it is now. Sometimes you don’t need a hundred features and multiplayer in a game. Sometimes you just want to calmly explore the universe and feel alone for a bit. Not have a million things to do and pop ups . I have enough of that in my life and other games

What I’ve seen from the average person, torrenting safely is for techies and most aren’t bothered with the effort of it. It’s a low hurdle that most people don’t want to waste time on. Building a local collection takes a shit ton of time. I’m currently rebuilding my music collection to roll my own music streaming server and I’m questioning the time value. But I’m sick of music I like getting deplatformed due to licensing

I like just good old gnome terminal. Theming scripts work well with it, like the gruvbox one that has like a hundred color themes. it’s got all the right features. just works

Currently, I have 3 DEs installed that I use regularly. Cinnamon, i3, and Unity. Cinnamon is for retro themes, and Unity is for a modern mac look after tweaks. and i3 is just nerd porn

I’m holding my judgment on AI assisted content. I already feel ai writing and image generation is still shitty, I’m less interested in something more complex like a video game.

Also, my 20+ years in the workforce has taught me that large and small companies suffer the same exact problems and both are greedy. Ai will be used to not hire workers, but to increase worker output , not lighten their load.

I trust indie companies to maybe make better content, but I expect them to rip off workers.

Not that I’m defending EA. There’ve ruined so many franchises.

Not that you could before, but I wouldn’t trust any chips, hardware, software, anything made from there from a security stand point anymore.

Some kind of reaction was Legitimate, because the attack in Oct were terrible, but Israel went too far, and we’re way past equivalent response

Sounds like something a nazi would say.

You said it better than I did

Who has arms deals and links with Russia ? Iran.

Who supplies and works with hamas? Iran.

Who would benefit most from global focus shifting? Russia.

Hmmmmmm. I’m starting to feel like a nut.

Dirt 5, dirt rally 2.0. I must hate myself because it’s snowing and I drive a forklift outside

Not to mention that whole conflict in Yemen is armed by US weapons sold to the Saudis. Over 150,000 civilian deaths and 70,000 starved in a purposeful famine. All assisted by the US across multiple presidencies

What?
