Leftist with an incorrigible love for fancy aesthetics (mostly Renaissance Italy/Victorian England) that might be incorrectly read as a monarchist because of that.

Unicorn, but also occasionally gryphon.
I think climate denial will look pretty funny in hindsight after agriculture has broadly collapsed leading to mass famines, and a bunch of coastal cities are several meters under toxified saltwater.
Like, that thing I just described is the optimistic scenario, where humanity/society survives despite things turning way shittier. It could be much worse.
Counterpoint: A lot of things that are aggressively “of their time” end up as iconic period pieces after some twenty years.
I am fully aware
I fear every person from any of those cultures. Those who sleep on hard surfaces are not to be trifled with, for they are stronger than all of us.
Pots, pans, and knowledge of cooking.
Oh, and enough garlic to fucking nuke Transylvania.
See memory foam is cool and all
But my point is that even the simplest pillow consisting of a linen sack with some animal nonsense inside it is still an exponential improvement over not that, or worse, those wooden head-supports that they still use in some eastern cultures.
Also: People use way too few pillows. I use five for the average night.
I’m biased, I just sorta… Like all animals. All of them. So this reply is just my mood for today:
Mammal: Raccoon. The grabby hands, the masks, they’re just cool little guys
Bird: Crows. Clever and playful caw caw boys. Capable of incredible feats of animal intelligence.
Reptile: Tegu. The cats of the lizard world.
Amphibian: Poison dart frogs. Danger bois. Don’t touch. But they look so cool.
Fish: fish are not valid
Crustacean: Coconut crabs! They are big and cool.
Insect: Ants. Eusocial insects are really cool.
Mollusk: those really big snails that look like slime bunnies
Worm: Leeches. They’re cool to look at.
Arachnid: Jumping spider. They are smols.
Consider the humble pillow.
Exquisite taste.
Seconding the Zelda rec, Majora’s being my favourite as well, with Minish Cap being a close second. (narrative-wise, that is)
I’ve been gaming on Linux exclusively for 3 years now. So. These are all proton-tested-and-approved. Though a couple (especially the old ones) require a bit of tinkering.
If old games & emulation are on the cards –
I wouldn’t know, but since OP is having compatibility issues, I’d try to get as close to native as I could. Eliminate the room-for-error. Hence the VM with actual Windows.
They can just delete the lot after they’ve converted their files to an opener format. :P
(these count as piracy, but yes, they work well and are reliable)
I will agree with the people suggesting “VM and a pirated copy”
Just get like office 2010 and windows 7 off of the web, run it in a VM, convert the files, dump it all.
Would be among the first to suggest a reddit-defederation pact to be honest.
Kinda like how peeps on Mastodon/Misskey/etc. have their anti-threads pact.
Said like 80 times in this thread already but, Open Source & Free software (papa stallman will murder my family if I don’t make the distinction)
Fifteen years ago when I first got into it, Linux was a programmer/sysadmin’s OS that could cover one’s web browsing needs and run some media players and retro console emulators.
Nowadays it is a reasonable daily driver for high-end gaming, it can cover 85% of the creative tasks I do for work, plus all the shit it did back then, all the while being faster, lighter, and comfier than windows.
There’s good libre applications for pretty much everything I care about.
And now we even have open-source powered social media (hi we’re in Lemmy)
Fuck, even if I’m this close to butlerian jihad thinking in regards to the whole concept, I’ll give it up for the advancement of open source AI models. I might think the whole invention is poison, but better for it to be a public, shared, community built poison than one under the thumb of three megacorps.

I want posts where people are talking u-u
When they were a kid and therefore couldn’t recognise political messaging due to not knowing what politics are.
What I’m saying is that literally 100% of “I miss the good old times when things weren’t political” people are just longing to return to their childhood innocence, where they could just enjoy things thoughtlessly, but also lack the self awareness to admit that.
I tried using virt-manager+kvm to try some stuff out the other day but I failed to set-up some crucial things. Probably me being incompetent.
Not like virtualization is a big part of my life anyway. I just wanted to try some other distros and such without rebooting.
If I were to get serious about virtualization I’d need to build a new PC with a second GPU. Then I could stop dual-booting and do everything with VMs. But it’d only be worth it to get serious about learning how to virtualize stuff if I were to do that.
SuSE Slowroll. Not rolling release. Also not super-conservative like Debian is.
