The first iPhone didn’t have access to an app store, it was basically an iPod and a feature phone that got Tuvixed.

21st century satire is a pissy little bitch, ain’t it?

Never assume reasonableness when businessman will suffice.

My understanding was it was for getting the game out on early access by a certain date, which they were going to hit, which is why they were unceremoniously and illegally fired.

No I want the one that says “Ketchup” with a picture of grapes on it.

As much as I like Subnautica, I’m not buying Subnautica 2 if Krafton stands a chance at seeing any of the revenue. I might be the only human capable of voting with my wallet, and I’m going to use this power.

I’m American, I strongly believe in collateral damage, I will willingly make the children of the Unknown Worlds Entertainment staff go hungry. That’s the choice Unknown Worlds’ higher-ups made going into business with shifty Asian shit-for-fucks promising executive bonuses bigger than the gross revenue of anything their studio has made.

Subnautica was Unknown Worlds Entertainment’s biggest seller. I don’t have exact sales figures but Wikipedia says “over 5 million copies.” Assuming every copy sold at the full retail price of $30, that’s a gross revenue of $150 million. Below Zero sold for the same price and probably fewer copies, so the entire Subnautica franchise has grossed an estimated $300 million total. They have other games which are small potatoes compared to Subnautica. So, you’re the CEO of Unknown Worlds, you know your games pull about $150 million gross each. What kind of smoke do the Koreans blow up your ass to convince you your next game is going to do so well they’ll be able to cover $250 million in bonuses while still covering rent, bills and normal wages?

The spindle housing of a drill press is called a quill, oddly enough.

Battletech is basically all of that except gay. I’m trying to think of any gay characters in Battletech…Rhonda Snord? Maybe a couple of the clanners?

A poor imitation. That’s clearly none pizza with up beef, not left beef.

Please tell me there’s a language out there that actually calls them “bird leaves.” Like how there’s a language where the word for green is “leaf blue.”

The machine I have it on is a Lenovo Duet 3i, which has a Pentium processor and either 4 or 8GB of RAM. I bought that machine specifically to use in my wood shop, I wanted a fanless machine that could run FreeCAD.

As a touch device, it’s just this side of unusable. It likes to forget what orientation it was in when waking up from sleep, and doesn’t like to correctly find out while waking up. Gnome will sort of mostly function with gestures and larger touch buttons, most apps are still designed very strictly for mouse and keyboard. The onscreen keyboard isn’t fantastic. I can confirm that Windows Vista had a better tablet experience than present day Fedora Gnome. But it functions.

I tried Fedora KDE, and trying to get Fedora KDE to be a tablet OS was a fool’s errand, the features aren’t even half-baked, they’re on the counter waiting for the oven to preheat. Fedora offers a KDE Touch image which I found runs like boiled butt.

I have no experience with ARM tablets; this is on an x86 tablet (or one of those Surface knockoffs with the keyboard that pops off).

Now in one piece!

Last time I looked, the closest thing to a “manual” published by Linux Mint was mostly a manifesto about why they’re not using various bits of Ubuntu. Sure the good old man command is still in there but Cinnamon is supposed to speak for itself.

Mint’s a solid choice, I used Mint as a primary or only distro for 10 years, and I’ve still got it on my laptop. But don’t pigeonhole yourself trying to be not like the other girls. I’ve got Bazzite on my HTPC because Cinnamon is kind of ass at 10 feet, I’ve got Fedora KDE on my desktop for better Wayland support, and Fedora Gnome on a tablet because it’s the only thing that remotely works as a touch-first OS that I could get to actually run on that tablet.

Beat me to it.

“Men honestly don’t need much in the way of material goods to be happy.”

“And I took that personally.”

Flat pack furniture is manufactured trash.

I’m not putting up with that, I’m going to convert them all to pung files asap.

Floppy disks were a human size. When we need removable media now, it’s either a microSD card, which are so tiny there’s no way to label them, and thumb drives, which…USB-A is irritating.

Give Rayforge a try.
