I don't really miss Twitter, except that, for a while there, it was litteraly the best support channel out there.

I don't know why or how, but tweeting at companies, even large companies, frequently got you a response from someone who could help super fast.

I really, really, really hate fetch your body mechanics.

@tom_schultz no, go to the place you died to regain stuff you lost. Hollow Knight made it popular in metroidvanias and I hate it.

@sinbad @Craigp I'm going to try again tonight I think. There's a switch in the BIOS, but I think the boot record also has to updated? It's been a while but I remember when I moved the HD from a non-tpm box, it wouldn't boot.

@sinbad @Craigp But.. no lie, I already KNOW not having the Fork GUI client on linux is a HUGE negative.

@sinbad @Craigp I have TPM, but I moved the HD from a machine that didn't, so I had to turn it off to make the move. I *think* there's a way to turn it back on for this machine but it's not easy in any way shape or form.

@sinbad @Craigp Also I'm on Win10 at the moment and would have to figure out how to turn on TPM to even upgrade. So it's a good opportunity to try to switch.

@sinbad @Craigp This is why I am in a rush to switch to Linux. Not saying you should. Just saying why I want to.

@sinbad this might be something specific with the instance or my phone or something...

But yeah there's a few folks that I want to follow that aren't on Mastodon but are on bsky.

@sinbad I agree-ish. But it feels like most "normal people" are there.

And I just tried to upload a video to mastodon and I'm realizing that this platform may not be the most user friendly...

I'm going to need a bluesky account aren't I 😓

@sinbad oh and holy crap you weren't kidding about the price... I knew they were cheaper, but I didn't realize they were HALF

@sinbad Wired is hopefully simpler. I think so long as they don't drift after a year I'm good. The 360 controllers are the only controllers I've had "recently" that didn't drift (though they do now after like 10 years, which... you know, is better than my Switch controllers that drift after 6 months)

@sinbad Oooohhhhh, see this is why I ask. I saw their controllers but wasn't sure if they were quality, but if you're vouching for them I might pick up one of those instead.

Both of my 10+ year old wired Xbox 360 controllers are suffering from drift :( Anyone have a recommendation for another good wired controller?
