I got Populous 3 running perfectly out of the box, when Windows doesn’t really manage it. It’s impressive.

When I set up Navidrome I had no idea jellyfin could do music too. Pretty happy with them separate though. Not for any particular reason, they both do their jobs really well.

I like the sound of this.

It’s never ever been about the children. Every time someone uses children as a meat shield for their arguments it’s because arguing against it is hard.

“We need to execute all criminals to protect the children!l”
“That doesn’t sound like a good idea.”
“What? You’d support a rapist pedophile over an innocent child? You support pedos??”

And it comes with all the downsides that Windows does.

Linux for gaming is easy. For the most part it’s plug and play. I’m on an AMD CPU and an NVidia GPU, and I even do VR in Linux.

As someone who does a decent amount of stuff with DAWs; VSTs are tricky. You might be able to create a similar workflow to what your used to, and many plugins might work decently well, but for me at least it was a lot of fiddling about and it isn’t as smooth as I’d like. My comfort compressor works, but the UI doesn’t render.

I’ve gotten my music workflow to work alright, but it’s wonky enough that I don’t do it as much anymore. Thinking about trying to start over with a new DAW and whatnot.

If privacy is a concern there’s a decent amount of stuff you can do to strip down Windows 11.

I bumped into copyparty the other month when looking for a software that could let me transfer files to a friend with the ability to pause/resume. Didn’t bother with it, tried another software instead. Never really got it to work so I gave up on it.

Bumped into the YouTube video today, decided to give copyparty a shot, damn sir you’ve written a fine piece of software. It’s so easy to get up and configure. The UI is a bit janky, but charming at the same time. Thanks for all the hard work!

Haha. I remember booting up my work PC and there being a copilot button in the browser. Clicked it out of curiosity and it transformed my well-written text into incoherent garbage. It literally made up new words.

Wonder if it’s because of stuff like this. Probably not, but I hope.

They did! I’m curious about the overlap between retro-gaming enthusiasts and fascists though. Do fascists really care about art and its preservation?

I mean so long as they don’t try to profit off of it I guess. Albeit it still enables all the corporations that are shilling this kind of bullshit so personally I’d not be very interested in their slopware.

I’d be fuming if someone called me away from work for some bullshit reason like blasphemy.

Oh whew. I am not thrilled about this comment. Turtlehead in particular paints such a picture… I feel like I’ve been mildly defiled today.

Hahaha. I’ve never seen any adverts for Herbal Essences. They always struck me as very neutral though. My roomie uses one which smells rather like sandalwood to me.

Wouldn’t necessarily call that masculine, but hardly feminine either.

This is fair. It’s a fairly common term in certain circles (which I’ll keep intentionally vague as to let your minds delight and/or reel in horror at the possibilities) so I didn’t give it much thought.

Herbal Essences is considered girly?

How would he handle things if he needs to pee and poo? Like, does he do one, switch positions, and then the other? It just sounds super inconvenient and involved.

My washer is fairly standard I think, 7 or 8 kilo, and it definitely only takes one load to get it washed. Granted it scales with the amount of beds you have so if you’ve a larger family it’ll be way more work.

Same. To be fair it’s an easy choice for me, why would I want to smell like some nebulous XXXFUEL, SPORTS PISS, or MOUNTAIN JUNK when I could smell like a bakery instead? Apple and cinnamon poo and condish? Yes please. Vanilla leave-in? Give!

Where do you intend to go?

Would recommend RustDesk instead.
