It is long past time we got over our child-like worship of billionaires.

Or . . . you load that old save game and think, “oh yeah. NOW I remember why I stopped playing this.”

Being able to touch type an on-screen keyboard with your eyes would be amazing, but we all know the real reason for this invention would be to make sure you’re watching the ads.

I think the widespread adoption of Linux is only going to happen from the bottom up. Corporations aren’t going to widely adopt Linux until Microsoft becomes a costly liability to them.

It will probably be the result of CoPilot. Will it be a huge data breach of bank or healthcare records? Will other governments flat-out refuse to run an OS with built-in spyware? Who knows? But it will be something awful that might even get our “mainstream media” to sit up and take notice.

Basically, don’t make definitive statements about things you don’t understand. Just try to be as helpful as you can with the knowledge you have.

It also helps if you’re not struggling with a narcissistic personality disorder that causes you to make definitive statements in the first place.

I think Proton is the smartest thing Valve has ever done. Thanks to that, Steam is going to get about 90% of all the Windows gamers switching over to Linux.

Well, since the billionaire class doesn’t pay it’s fair share of the tax burden, that money has to come from somewhere.

Well clearly it’s the truck. If you don’t eat that truck right away, it’s gonna spoil.

Same here. I installed Linux Mint on my internal D: drive and left my Windows C: drive completely untouched. Then, I changed my boot order in bios to boot from drive D: This lets you play with Linux without messing with the bootloader on your Windows drive, or fiddling with partitions.

Once I decided to keep Linux, I modified the D: drive bootloader (“sudo update-grub”) so it would show both drives when I booted from D: Now I can boot into either OS without having to change the boot order in BIOS.

“Trial’s over. Donnie’s a convicted felon. The judge out front should have told ya.”

There’s a native Linux version of Steam (at least for Ubuntu / Mint) that works great. It also uses a proprietary Wine wrapper called Proton, that’s pre-configured for all your Steam Library games.

What program did you use to make the live usb stick? (I use Rufus, myself). Did you create a persistent partition?

(I’m wondering if “access beyond end of device” is happening because there’s no storage space on the flash drive for new data, like remembering/configuring a WiFi connection)…

Isn’t AI amazing?

This isn’t the first time Microsoft has pushed telemetry and malware in its OS. But I think they have finally crossed the line with CoPilot. What they want to do with it is so incredibly obvious and intrusive that most people just won’t stand for it.

You can buy reversible USB cables online. The connector works in either direction. They’re pretty neat.

They’re also using YOUR bandwidth to download these ads.

Yup. This is the lazy devs “difficulty” setting. Harder just means, “Enemies take more damage / Enemies deal more damage.”

Let’s see: Communism A system of government where the country’s wealth is concentrated into a small, ruling class of billionaires, who use the media they own to keep the lower classes fighting with each other while they . . . the rich . . . run off with all the farking money.

Oh wait. that’s capitalism. I don’t know how I got those two systems confused.
