Okay, so it’s a win-win. I’m not against the option of profit when it increases freedom.

No, I just don’t trust Valve. They poached the better Cassali off Doomworld, and they’ve monopolized gaming without physical media.

TBH, if Tim, Romero, or Carmack relaunched the Big Blue Disk, I would get in, in a heartbeat.

That’s exactly what I believe about it. If Valve sold it without their monopolized software on it, I would be interested.

Well, yeah. The worst of the 2600 is more playable than the new crud.

I mean, I live here in the USA. Laughter is the only response I have left. I’m too tired to be scared, and there’s no point in getting angry since there’s nothing I can do about it that wouldn’t leave me hurt worse.

So the only answer left is to laugh about it.

For #18, here’s how my sneakernet software sharing goes: Windows: I copy the installer exe, or a zipped version of the software as installed to a flash drive. The person can then run the software from the drive, or copy it to their own PC. No Internet required, no outside connection called for.

Linux: after determining that they have the right distro type for the software, I have to walk them through either getting it from a GUI repository client, apt, pacman, flatpak, snap, or whatever other cockamamie thing it’s on. They have to install it from the central authority - which is not sharing the software. It’s suggesting that someone else connect to the Internet and download a thing.

If it requires the Internet to for a typical user to share software on media, your operating system is hostile to freedom.

Never stop your enemy when he makes an error in your favor.

The Ten Commandments are the clearest example of “rules for thee, not for me”.

Here’s hoping he can be revived in 400 years.

Their deal with Google for Widevine is separate from Mozilla, basically.

No, because at least with masturbation, you have something to show for it at the end.

Almost like there’s a difference between men and women and how we view them in society.

The first one is because at least on Mint, on the machine I have, multiple monitors just don’t work, and I’ve been told it’s not just me, it’s X11. The second is the need for Wine or Bottles (or whatever Valve has done).

And yet you knew exactly what I meant.

Most men as the hostage would be like, “Well, making my peace.”

Here’s a few more.

16. You want to use multiple monitors without messing around.

17. You don’t want to run an emulator for your games.

18. You like being able to share software with people.

19. You need corporate software for work or your own business.

20. You’re looking for a computer that ‘just works’.

This year, I don’t have a clear list. It’ll probably involve some random music. Maybe I’ll finally get Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon 2.

Absolutely! But I admit that I like the *bin softwares (K & M) because it’s the only one I’ve seen that really seamlessly integrates multiple parts of the Fediverse, and the new combined view makes it even smoother now.

xed works tho?

I am an Mbin user. I love it.
