That’s some delicious existential horror right there!

Do you by chance live near a pet graveyard built on Native American burial grounds?

As someone who volunteered in an animal shelter I can sadly say that is not the case, more frequently than it should be.

Is it possible he has a growing brain tumor, without the required substrate?

I’ve been using Windows since 3.11. I’ve been supporting it for a career since 1998 (although almost entirely servers not desktops for the last 23 years). I’m tired of Microsoft’s bullshit.

On the other hand, my expertise at resolving their (server) bullshit over the last couple decades sure did pay well. So I guess it wasn’t all bad. But these days they can kiss my ass.

Yeah I haven’t completely gotten rid of Windows. I have it installed on another SSD but in the last 8 months since I switched, I’ve only needed it for Dyson Sphere Project (needed AutoHotKey), Deadlock (crashes too often in Linux and they ban you for 2 hours every time you leave a game), and whenever I feel like playing C&C Generals which for some reason runs like absolute dogshit on my Linux box despite everything else working fine.

But that Windows SSD has nothing, NOTHING on it but Steam games and Winamp. Microsoft isn’t getting access to a damn thing anymore when it comes to personal data. I’m tired of protecting myself against them, and FFS I’ve been a Microsoft backoffice sysadmin for over 25 years so I know how, but I’m still sick of it! I don’t even surf the web on that install. I play my game and when I’m done I boot back to Tumbleweed!

Gonna have to look into Lutris, I really like the idea of that sandboxing!

Worked on me, I finally switched (like, REALLY switched) on my primary PC this year after using Linux only for servers and hobby projects for a long time. My only regret is that I may not live long enough to have used Linux longer than I used Windows. I’d have to make it to my mid 80’s just to break even.

Valve gets all the credit. Gaming was the main thing holding me back all this time.

What happens when you call them?

But what if someone hid a Bat’leth inside one of them?

That’s a man who knows his game.

Oh man I haven’t seen that classic in a while. Thanks for the smile!

Yes! It’s pretty nice! 20 years since my last crash and still riding. I guess I learned something.

Most of those were on the racetrack back when I used to do that sort of thing, though. Occupational (hobbypational?) hazard.

You weren’t kidding.

Edit: I see now you said SNES, can’t find a good animation of that one though. But I can see in the screenshots that it’s a pseudo-mocap human hand and yeah, that would be worse.

Amen. Both sides of my head would be just scar tissue if not for motorcycle helmets. And that’s just from sliding on the road, not hitting anything or being hit.

Maybe you should actually learn what happened in Germany in the years leading up to those 6 million people being murdered. It’s not like all of Germany woke up one day and voted to start gassing Jews. It started with rhetoric exactly like what’s spewing out of Trump’s mouth these days.

Blame the ‘other’ for all your troubles. Then dehumanize the other (we are here). Then start rounding them up.

Do we have to wait until he puts the first person in an oven to do anything about it? That’s how his supporters (you) seem to think. But we’re not stupid. Some of us actually learned from history.

Bitwarden can be fully self hosted, I’m doing it. My Bitwarden server doesn’t (and can’t) talk to them at all as it has no way to access the internet. They know nothing about my deployment except that I signed up for a free license key.

Arbeit Macht Frei.

We’ve learned nothing. Humanity might be a lost cause.

How the fuck does Hot Topic even have 350 million customers?

Turning around in circles maybe.
