  • I’m in the process of this now. I haven’t used Linux in like 15 years so I’m starting slow with my laptop. My goal is to be free from windows on my desktop and laptop before I have to go to Windows 11. I have to use Windows 11 at work and it’s fucking miserable. I can understand some of the changes from a personal usage standpoint, but from a work related one there are so many features that just make productivity worse. I’ve had to change shit in the registry like 7 times just to get some quality of life features that they changed.

    Oh man, I would have never known if you hadn’t pointed it out. Thank you so much! /s

    Regardless of the validity of this story, I guarantee someone out there has done this to a certain extent. People get worked up about pronouns to such a degree that this almost seems like a relatively tame reaction.


  • That would just make them even bigger targets than they already are. And now they won’t have a way to defend themselves? That sounds like a nightmare. I used to play Overwatch and would always play support. There’s no way in hell i’d trust my team to help me if I’m being attacked. They’re probably just gonna jump ahead and say “I need healing!” fifteen times and call me a trash healer as I get the shit beaten out of me with no way to fight back. If this is how support roles worked nobody would play them. I already get left to my own devices as the rest of the team ignores me getting attacked in the back line. It’s already a thankless and painful role to play and this would make it unbearable.







  • Just remember that every time you see this, someone has to go home and tell their family that they don’t have a job anymore. Or someone has to explain to their landlord why rent will be late. These aren’t just statistics, they’re people.

    And remember that every time this happens, it’s literally just to save more money for the “important people” and shareholders. And I guarantee we will see a price bump in Disney services before the end of the year for the exact same reason.




  • Personally I use OpenMPT and have been since I was a kid. It’s an open source tracker that is surprisingly powerful if you can get it to do what you want. It’s similar to trackers like ProTracker from the old school days but more modernized and easier to use (mostly). It’s not the easiest software to use but it’s what I’m used to. But if you are set on ProTracker you might be able to look up stuff about OpenMPT (or any tracker for that matter) and some of the information might translate over. I know this might not be helpful, but I hope it helps with a starting point at least.



  • My favorite thing about browsing everything is that sometimes stuff like this pops up. Puts me in panic mode when I’m at work, though. Mostly because I’m too much of an idiot not to open it up lol. And also yes, they are my favorite. I’d feel bad if I didn’t say anything.

    Edit: Dang you posted like 7 times and they’re all great. Why do I choose to do this at work? I’ve got shit to do.


  • Something that will never stop being funny to me is seeing hardcore republicans and trump supporters getting caught doing gay stuff. Like, you wouldn’t have to hide it if you weren’t so desperately trying to create the stigma among your own party on a daily basis. It’s literally their own fault. If they weren’t against it you could just be gay and still support Trump and nobody would bat an eye. But instead they create this whole thing and just make it harder for themselves. I just find it so god damn funny.
