That’s how it was in my last house, washer was on the right… That’s how they had the hookups. Built in 2006.

Stop teasing me with best case scenarios.

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!

His real first name is Earvin. Which rhymes with pervin’, so still pretty close.

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.

After reading your comment I realized I didn’t really know the difference between a ‘pickup’ and a ‘truck’. I found this pretty informative:

Now I’m on board.

Not really, otherwise we’d have read a sovcit success story by now.

I will never stop being amused at the various ways participants on a discussion app try to stifle or prevent discussions.

why is it normal for males to call women degrading things like “female”

I can’t even…

A girl did not write this anyway.

What happens when you call them?

It’s right in his manifesto. He’s being FORCED to share space with all us undesirables.

‘Mass migrate’ like some sysadmin moved everyone. These were individual decisions.

‘Federating with Threads’ like federation doesn’t happen by default.

‘Witch hunts’ sounds like somebody got called out for their bad behavior.

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.
