@prisixia They’ll only give you shit if you try and distribute it

@sallyNULL @Relected

Ew, why would you do all that only to virtualize a mess of an ISA?

@SuperDicq

The single socket boards are cheaper and even though they aren’t “certified” yet by RYF, they are fully free (in fact, more so than the dual socket boards factoring for the SATA controller IIRC).

@SuperDicq @Relected @sallyNULL

Not sure if that question was directed at me, in confusion.

I think, and I’m basing this off of the way I used to be years ago, it is rooted in people’s FOMO of gaming. It comes down to “But how am I going to run my games?!” But when you begin to go inward and examine that mentality it becomes hard to ignore that making such decisions based off of game availability ultimately puts one under the thumb of those who decide what to compile their games for and where to release them through.

Anyway, running a ppc system forces one to be very disciplined about what you decide to install and run. When the possibility of simply downloading a pre-compiled binary from somewhere on the web is no option, you find the answer is often to compile yourself (e.g. enforced open source 😎 ).

@awooo @SuperDicq @chjara @charlotte Nirvana fallacy. Just because perfection is out of reach, doesn’t mean that one should just give up. And the fact that some blobware is currently unavoidable does not excuse its presence.

The feed at GamingOnLinux Articles RSS for: Open Source really ought to be called “Articles RSS for: Proton, WINE and other ways to cuck out for windows“

I am pleased to finally replace it with LibreGameWiki’s RSS as it is much more relevant to those of us who reject proprietary trashware.

I feel like gen z doesn’t even know how to run emulators or torrent roms.

It’s worse than that, my friend. They can’t even conceptualize what an emulator is. They cannot differentiate between an emulator program and a game rom. To them, the emulator is itself the game to be run.

Or setting up wifi…

Also a black box to zoombies. To many of them, wifi is internet, rather than just a connectivity medium.

“My kid is a computer wizard” - never seen the inside of a PC and can’t type with a physical keyboard and has never logged into a router.

You know how they do it now? I didn’t even realize this until I had the misfortune of watching a zoomie “setup” a “router”. The “router” instruction manual instructs them to install an app on their phone through which the “router” is managed. No option to login to a web interface or SSH is ever provided.

@nqd It’s just brain damage design. I also detest ISPs that restrict the management of their modems to some web application on their site.

UK bureaurats hallucinating that they can prevent the copying and sharing of files.

@ryo I find it fitting that conservatism representation works out to be a blue ball.

@tak4 @kflame2683 頭がよくない開発元かどうか分かりません。悪いだけかもしれません。さいてい

@ryo I’ve been eyeing Alpine Linux lately and it seems like Linux spun up with a little spirit of BSD.

@ryo screen size SVGs when your browser has no GPU acceleration - drives me crazy.

I’ve learned that the article content on most sites is about 80-85% down the way on the scroll bar when this happens.

@ryo The psychopathy hasn’t ended yet.

@ryo

People talk about … see what they’re all talking about

I have found that this is one of the strongest predictors of a media psyop campaign. When all of a sudden, everyone around you in public is parroting some current event story or tagline. Especially considering most people would never actively seek out information on such subject matter on their own.

I would like to propose an additional point:

1. Why would the Chinese need to resort to aerospace when they can just check their servers that have been collecting data from all the zoombies phones?

Using a mobile phone is akin to wearing a cowbell around your neck and your owner’s branding on your skin.

Phone drones upset that their proprietary spyware mobile OS installed proprietary spyware on top of their already completely compromised proprietary spyware devices:

To increase adoption, starting on June 15, 2021, DPH worked with Google to secretly install the Contact Tracing App onto over one million Android mobile devices located in Massachusetts without the device owners’ knowledge or permission,

@ryo Linux Youtubers using Linux subsystem for window$

@Suiseiseki @leighelse

my quality of life is in no way diminished by these choices.

The chain of realization needed to recognize how proprietary malware harms one’s quality of life is too nuanced and intricate for normoids to comprehend. Also, it is harmful to those around them as well. Like smoking.

The herd’s retarded group consensus forces malware onto those of us who choose note to “smoke”.

You probably didn’t get a chance to hear the installer audio. I did deployments when 10 was new and it literally baby talks users through the installation with the Cortana character from Halo. It is enabled by default, even in enterprise.

And for deployments of dozens or hundreds of workstations, because Windows licensing check-in, the procedure we used was to start the installation on a staging system, then stop the installer right before the user is instructed to reboot and log in, then take an image.

Then the volume is distributed out to the remote systems and allowed to deploy and acquire its own Desktop-* hostname and licensing.

That shit would be a non-issue, so much easier and so much faster with a Linux net install or even something like the graphical web server installer that Ubuntu was flirting with.

I have zero respect for anyone who suggests that Windows is even remotely aimed at technical users. It is a children’s toy.
