I wish it was feasible to hve a large scale boycott of visa and mastercard. american express is already useless so it wouldn’t help much to include it…

jesus wtf. I was never into popeye but I didn’t expect it to be like this

you’re a poet and don’t even know it

mostly cases like “experimental/preliminary support for xyz but only if you compile from source or use unofficial repos”, video codecs in that janky era, assorted functionality now taken for granted, etc. Nothing really needs bleeding edge any more hence why I don’t use arch on my desktop any more and my server computers are mostly debian.

didn’t the stylish rat actually get more action?

Yeah back then I was in elementary school. I chased single percent performance gains from bleeding edge because I couldn’t just buy better hardware. If you wanted the latest versions of anything ubuntu couldn’t do it without iffy unofficial repos and dependency hell. I did it anyway and it sucked.

If you compiled the kernel but forgot to rebuild the graphics modules you had to live cd in, because a 64mb usb stick was like 300 bucks back then and booting off usb wasn’t really a thing yet. Then next would be some janky terminal instructions off someones blog printed at the library because phones weren’t even moto razr and arch wiki didnt exist yet, then pray it worked and that there was enough time left in the day to do whatever stupid homework needed the computer.

I never liked the nvidia installer and it’s control panel that seemingly needed root then somehow fucked up the monitor config while not even applying the driver config, but it was all I knew as I never had a radeon until after the amd acquisition of ati. I also have no idea if the driver was always in kernel or if that was more recent but being able to compile a kernel with some silly buzzword feature that probably only situationally added 2fps to maybe one or two games and not risk graphics related boot failure was a game changer to my broke ass in the early days of working.

Anyway that was peak ubuntu era as I remember it. I mainly used ubuntu with spots of opensuse and some others here and there until whenever the r9 280 came out and then primarily used arch until the the early immutable distros showed up. Now even my dad and grandparents are on bazzite and my mom on aurora and its literally the best thing ever because they actually don’t fuck it up anymore and I don’t spend every waking hour on call for tech support.

I would actually recommend the nvidia image of bazzite since it takes the potential driver module and kernel mismatch problem out of the equation which IMO is one of the most annoying problems an nvidia user can face, and if it somehow bugs out anyway rollback is one or two keypresses away depending on if you hide grub or not.

Virtualization is possible with the boot flags and vfio if needed setup using the “ujust setup-virtualization” script. qemu/kvm, probably not virtualbox which also requires kernel modules iirc.

It’s literally what you type in terminal to use it

I’m honestly tempted. I know someone that does movie masks like mrs doubtfire which has led me to have a bit of a fixation on them but I know a few people that would be up for doing one or two of these a month

by “prison” do you mean “in the dirt”?

I’ve worked with many many people this decade that got paid more than me to do literally fuck all for the whole shift and got approved for overtime more frequently where they continued to be absolutely useless but they kissed the correct asses and sucked the right toes.

Is it enough that I watched yowamushi pedal? I already biked for my work commute but I can get behind naming and talking to my abs. I felt sick to my stomach when I went biking with friends and some of them started singing hime hime though.

I still don’t understand why people watch any sports. I’ve been to basketball, baseball, hockey, rugby, even curling and its ultimately the same as watching the dvd logo bounce to me.

shopping is most certainly not one of those use cases

“wait I have razor blades in my pockets. They were on clearance…”

epstein being called a hoax in an attempt to brush it all under the rug happened and I have been worrying about since he was killed

dunno about butter and fudge but almost every supermarket chocolate has palm oil in it

like literally a turn this into even more ewaste button?

what the hell is a bean field? also beans are great with corn they climb the stalks, also have squash, then boom you have the so called three sisters.
