@eribosot I don’t think most of them believed he’s a fascist, people who would have voted for trump in the last two elections most likely believed that the accusations of him being a fascist were just some far left tantrum and not the conclusion anyone would arrive at when critically examining his own statements and behaviour

tho of course, there were a handful of people who did know he’s a fascist and voted him because of that, tho I really have a hard time anyone believed he’s a fascist, didn’t like it, but then voted for him anyway despite that

@kaia no, this is actually older than the Trump McDonald’s thing, I just only now noticed it’s a fucking Happy Meal

I swear to God, this guy is the party leader of PSD, Romania’s largest party, former PM, candidate for Romania’s presidency, and he bought a motherfucking happy meal

oh btw, the code is dual-licensed under WTFPL and a modified beerware that says you should buy me coffee instead of beer

well, I was bored to hell so here’s a program to use if you want a DOS-like prompt for your UNIX shell

tested with ksh93, bash, and zsh, simply compile this and set PS1, PROMPT, or whatever variable your shell uses to '$(/path/to/binary)'

@thatbrickster @SuperDicq @rher tbh I have to assume GB/C on GBA is emulation considering the former are on a kind of Z80, while the latter is on an ARM chip

@kaia wdym, it’s the perfect techbro car

@lanodan @SuperDicq @lucy @sun @mer tbh I haven’t even bought any Windows games on GOG, but I did get a bunch of freebies like Postal 2 which I can’t even play because the installers are pieces of shit and I don’t have any good way of moving files between my Windows VM and Linux host to install in the VM then just copy the installed files over

@lanodan @SuperDicq @lucy @sun @mer except for the part where innoextract can’t always make sense of them, and even when it does make sense of the installer, you’re often times left with a mess of files to figure out yourself

@SuperDicq @lucy @sun @mer it does have gtk2 in the repos, but what the fuck even is there to have it installed on most people’s systems? and imagine if you’re someone who doesn’t know you can also run the installer in a terminal without the GUI, then you just see the installer not starting and think it’s completely broken

@SuperDicq @lucy @sun @mer “in a zip file” oh if only, instead they have their shitty installers that don’t even have a GUI on Linux anymore because they depend on GTK2

@hj @SuperDicq @lucy @sun that got burried 12ft under with the revolution of ‘89 in Romania, instead we’ve had “Old Man Christmas” since then

@SuperDicq @lucy @sun wait what? when did he say that?

@SuperDicq @lucy @sun @mer DRM goes back far before Valve or Steam, and, if nothing else, Steam was one of the first ones that didn’t fucking suck for the player unlike what came before, things like StarForce that outright broke your hardware

@hj @SuperDicq @lucy @sun actually santa claus and saint nicholas are only the same in some versions, in Romania, for example, they’re distinct entities

@SuperDicq @lucy @sun I don’t think Gaben has ever said anything political, unless you count the stuff about Microsoft from 2013 when he announced Steam coming to Linux

overall he’s still the same as he has been for as long as he’s been in the games space, just, y’know, older
