Awesome. Met the wife on IRCnet, shortly after the great split.

That must have been a concerted effort. The amount of anti-mozilla posts and comments that totaly permeated everything for a short while, was very suspicious.

Guru meditation

This for sure. Making games easily accessible on linux have lead to a lot of people not having to deal with windows anymore.
It is the same effect as a kidnapping victim beeing grateful when someone comes to release them fom the torture rack. It is not strange that valve gets a lot of goodwill from their actions.
Would i sish more people did as steam does? Ofcourse! But none do, so we are grateful for steam. I think they saved pc gaming. And not only for linux.

Awesone movie. Aliens, terminator 2 and the abyss are just a goldmine of things that became culture backbone.

Agree 100%
When i was a kid, we did not have a tv, for many years. But my uncle did. And he had 2 movies on vhs? Smokey and the bandit. And the sting.
If there was bad weather we siblings and cousins often went there to watch one of those 2. Have probably seen the sting 20-30 times. But i would not be suprised if we saw the bandit a hundred times ;D

What is wrong with your system that requires disabeling updates?
Been running debian stable on a few hundred servers for 25 ish years.
And I always install and enable unattended upgrades. And it have never been a problem. Not even once.

That only applies for steam keys afaik. You can not sell your steam keys cheaper anywhere else, since steam is on the hook for the cost and services. That is fairly logical.
A dev can charge whatever if they deal with all that themself on their own webpage forinstance.

edit: had a hrd time finding the video i knew i had seen this on : https://v.redd.it/xnl8xyki4h5d1/DASH_1080.mp4

This! That falsehood is so disgusting. And erodes all goodwill they may have accidentaly aquired

Bookmarking this. How about a photo library category under photos and grafics

Thank you. Was going to suggest matrix/elements. But you explained it better ;)
It has really improved the last years. Especially the e2e encryption key sharing, and verfication system vs what was before.

They are not rapidly moving… no wonder you miss them

I think that is 2 sides of the same coin. 24/7 social media. Is the result of the loss of third places, and personal freedom to roam. Ofcourse everyone beeing a mobile survailance tower with their smartphones does not help either.

I install molly-guard on important machines for this reason. So fast to do a reboot on the wrong ssh session

I think true, but most discs i have, has digital audio.

Still have my laserdisc collection. It is just collecting dust. But I do not have the heart to part with them.

Laserdisc had 4 audio tracks 2 digital and 2 analog. The digital tracks was what later became the cd. The analog tracks was often used by audio commentary along the movie and such.

Hardly that often there is a kernell update that require a reboot

Is it not just firefox with more privacy settings by default? Are there actually festures added?

It is called “snow blindness” in norway. I spent a day with the medics, with salt water running into my eyes. And 2 months of very dark shades and pain killers.
Kind of like having sharp gravel under the eyelids, moving them was horrible.
