omfg. I randomly was at white spot the other day because of people that actually like the food there somewhow, and the old guys at the table behind us were literally this. I find most people uncomfortable to be around, but damn can it ever be worse.

Shoot him before the train runs him over?

So I don’t remember how it even tasted because I was so creeped out by the staff situation, but I ate at fatburger once. The old asian lady manager was ordering around the probably high school age girls that were running the registers, directing everything very specifically like the tone of their voice for each canned prase, the angles of their joints, etc. It kept getting more and more weird and gross with stuff like wrist slaps when they didn’t get it perfectly. I never ate at any of their locations ever again.

because nobody is updating them and the one person that did before was seemingly the only user. Nobody could find any evidence of it being used. When was the last time you ever heard about fieldbus?

the article mentions support for a another interface is also being added, for lab equipment that actually does still get used.

this is so supremely cursed

I miss effort free gaming on windows too. It looks like they laid off everyone in that department and put everything in to AI and subscription begging which has made it a miserable experience lately. I had to click deceptively placed no buttons like 30 times just to get to the desktop so I could update the damned mobo rgb controller to detect and turn off the lights

it’s this. muh goadd. Its like going back to the days before blender was good and trying lightwave because your friend is convinced it was better than maya or 3ds max, and making thay whole experience four times worse. I guess every now and then you run in to a software so inconceivably counterintuitive that no tutorial can help you produce meaningful work. meanwhile I haven’t followed any tutorials apart from those for 2000’s era modellers meant for games and movies and I’ve been able to make what I need fairly easily in f360 or onshape.

i know this but i still think of the other drm first, every time

I definitely dont miss the days of no uuid’s + ribbon cables and master/slave jumpers

sergeant obvious

all caps keming…

dunno about when, but I’m probably going to just rack up a fuckload of debt and get fucked on drugs right before I die. If my health continues to somewhat hold up enough to live approximately normally, and the 1% doesn’t make the planet unlivable before then, it will be when I’m a decrepit old man. Although I already feel like a decrepit old man so who knows.

I never needed to live like a billionaire, I just wanted to buy a house with the same number of work hours as my parents. Literally impossible. Not even having parental assistance is enough anymore, you need wealthy parents. Or at least two exploitative businesses and a lot of connections but I have -712 social skills. If only real life ng+ but on a different planet and as a species that isn’t inherently evil.

thanks. I was trying to find this out but I’d constantly slip up and let it shrink.

I followed a guide to remove all that shit from the installer and still had to say no to most of it, and it showed up anyway.

if you are already using fedora I don’t see any value in switching to debian or mint.

that windows install isn’t the procedure m$ tells you to use though. the correct comparison to that IMO would be using one of the 4 or 5 easy arch installers.

that said I’d still use bazzite. now a real janky ass install would be fedora core os on an sbc, using emmc for boot but nvme for root.

is there an installer edition that doesn’t put you through the questionnaire for what level of bullshit they can trick you in to accepting?

Are you sure you’re sure that your sure that you definitely aren’t unsure about making an online account? Well here’s the form for it anyway because you didn’t remove all your network devices and use an edited install iso. And while we’re at it, here’s copilot, and a trial for office that you get billed for if you forget, and all your stuff is on onedrive securely stored for the safe perusal of relevant parties. Now please wait while we get things ready for you. You might think this unexplained loading screen is longer than the full time it takes to install most linux distros but we assure you important computery stuff is happening.

I have heard of absolutely none of those games. Looking at protondb, it’s a mixed bag of miscellaneous hassle. Supervive actually has a message that reads “wine, proton, and steam deck are not supported by this application”. Legion TD seems like you have to pray to RNG-sus. Dynasty has no reports at all… For the issues people are having with some of these, aside from supervive just blocking wine entirely, it is indeed more janky tinkering than I could justify doing myself, let alone expecting anyone else to.

post windows 7/early 10 versions, I would place it harder than arch. I had to go through a bunch of shit to get my mobo mount nvme drives to show up, then came the cursed hell of just clicking through all the setup questions where they make it sound like you have a choice, but you don’t unless you do the custom install image bullshit aka the harder windows install on the chart.

call it playing outside before the 90s simulator and I’m in.
