I have a weird situation. I was a Windows user from 3.x to 10. I genuinely like Win9x, XP, and a lot of 7. I switched to Linux as my main machine with Mint because Cinnamon works like Windows. The only hassle I have is external display issues (X11 displayport stuff) - so I’m not looking at Cachy or KDE Neon or anything like that. But my gaming PC is Win11. It all works. Getting back to Windows, while there’s some challenges, everything feels “right” again. 7-Zip, Notepad++, various games, it’s all natural. I have trouble running arbitrary software on Mint, but Windows just runs every exe I throw at it. It works with my trackball and external display painlessly.

Basically, they both work.

Also, I disagree with the article author about the email client in the OS. I think that’s bloatware and the results of Microsoft being monopolistic. Webmail works fine. If you want an email client locally, it’s your choice. Then again I’d love to see what he says is better than Outlook - because it isn’t Thunderbird.

Ah right, they’re “too big to fail”.

Yeah, it’s taking too long.

How can we make them run out in mid-2026?

Pizza dude’s got thirty seconds.

Oh. Despite being from NJ, I’m not a huge fan of the View Askewniverse. Basically just Mallrats and Dogma.

I need to rewatch The Men Who Stare at Goats.

Almost half? nowhere near enough. We gotta get to it being “all”.

I think it started around the passing of the Statute of Anne in 1710, but probably earlier too. Copywrong has always been a problem.

My old laptop works well on Windows 10. Mint does about 99% of that and other stuff I don’t do in Windows. The only thing that I miss is a multi monitor setup (and I’ve been told that CachyOS or KDE Neon would do it).

And, again, good morals. That matters to me in a company, honestly.

I think Little Caesars is a different category of takeout pizza. It’s hot - and it’s ready. And it supports a company with a business model and mindset that are more than just decent.

And if not, they have incentives to disenfranchise everyone who isn’t 100% confirmed loyal.

So tell Aldi.

Honestly, I’m most likely to ignore reviews by people in the PRC. At best, my interest will be to see if PRC reviews differ from US or European reviews, and lean towards games where the PRC is opposite of the West. I might also compare both to Japanese reviews.

I’ve put more hours into Infiniminer, Minetest/Luanti, Industry, Dopewars, dnd, dopewars, and various Twine/Frotz games than any corporate games. When I do want an FPS (rare), I look at Doom sourceports and maybe Cube/Sauerbraten.

And there’s the real time-murderer: Nethack.

And yet there are free indie games out there that are generally better than the corp funded crap. Creators will create, no matter what happens.

Yes, and that’s proof of how disgusting things have gotten. Get rid of Republicans.

Killing people around the world AND killing off our own poor people at the same time.

Don’t forget that last bit, it’s important. They see you as an enemy just as much as the poor SOBs they sent you to murder.

Kira vs. Columbo is a great skit.
