I certainly hope that I didn’t give the impression anywhere that I was anything but.

Fage 2% with some low sodium mixed nuts and low sugar dried cranberries is one of my favorite breakfasts these days. No joke.

Anything that exceeds the difficulty of a assembling a sandwich or put something on and off a grill, is something I’m gonna leave to the pros.

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.

Yeah and I went to the supermarket this morning and they ALREADY have all the stuff out!

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.

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

Turning around in circles maybe.

Welcome to the internet! Half my lemmy community blocklist is to keep cartoon titties off my feed.

Yep, I still use 5.666 on Windows, but I use Windows very infrequently anymore. I switched to Linux as my primary OS earlier this year and only use Windows for games that don’t work right in Linux. And thanks to Valve that’s becoming pretty rare these days.

I haven’t tried getting Winamp to work in Wine but there’s probably a guide out there somewhere! Good suggestion, thanks.

It did an excellent job of managing the hordes of totally legitimate MP3’s we all had back in the day, and did so with an aplomb that nothing else seemed to manage. Really, its playlist and library management was top notch.

This is why I’m still on the eternal search for a replacement. Library management was really, really good in Winamp. I use Strawberry these days and it’s absolutely great at playing stuff but the playlist management is just ‘good enough’.

Cosmopolitan magazine.

Infamous for being filled with garbage sex articles to further screw up women’s self esteem.

Wrong group of people to try to get a Cosmo article out of.
