Damn. This is basically one of 2 reasons I still dual boot. My Studio One 5 install and FiveM. Gave me one less reason to keep Windows around.

One of the good ones for many years. One of the few great rooted apps I’d paid for and would install after every fresh rom flash.

Most likely. I see many satirical or ironic jokes go over many heads here.

Linux has come a long way with gaming fortunately. I daily drive fedora and use Proton-GE/Wine-GE and can play most games with the exception of some problem ones (Assetto Corsa & Rust, I’m looking at you).

Only time I ever fool with W11 these days is when I use Studio One for music or play on of the (very few) problem games some friends want me to join them on. I’d recommend checking out the Nobara distro for games.

Not surprising OSX is a better Windows in some ways. Switched to iPhone last summer for my daily driver and don’t regret it. Best mobile experience I’ve had since my custom ROMs days on Android. Even started out setting up app folders to copy my Nova Launcher setup. That said, I’ll be excited when more privacy respecting options come around to the mobile market for my next phone.

Ah this is true.

It’s almost certainly redcurrant and please don’t eat random plants without certainty.

(The berries were sort of translucent, right?)

I’ve had pretty good luck with the random kitchen accouterment or phone case from Aliexpress but probably due to marketing, Temu seems to have overwhelmed several countries’ postal systems so I’ll also be steering clear. These companies (amazon included) all massively contribute to exploitation though so I wouldn’t recommend going hog wild on them with 100 orders of random shit.

Just turns out that it’s really cheap to make various types of garbage in China and ship it the cheapest possible way that takes 1+ months to arrive. Many of these products lack fancy packaging and marketing as well which also slashes costs.

Clash of Clans obviously.

It’s fortunate that this never caught on.

Time for musicians to protest and riot*!

It sounds like you think that you know a lot about me. Please tell me more.

It’s definitely not a self report to be defensive when no one said anything specifically about you before losing your shit and taking things personally.

Whether or not I do, they won’t be “raised” by slipping into a YouTube Kids coma 24/7 unsupervised.

They kind of already had this. Hopefully with charging a fee, it will have better content or at least fund NASA missions.

Either way I look forward to pirating it.

What a hassle. Might actually have to be a present parent in your child’s life. 😰

Had a similar thing happen. Half woke up in a guest room at my grandma’s. Was my uncle’s room. Has a few model cars and this racecar wallpaper with lotus, jaguar, old cars, trophies etc on it. Well my sleepy hardly awake brain saw some creepy ass momo looking mf face as soon as my eyes opened and I threw a haymaker at that bitch! Nope, just quickly faded into a wallpaper pattern.

Luckily it was barely out of my reach to hit it so hard so it didn’t put a hole there. Just loud thump that probably startled someone.

I also struggle with this often as a 'Merican expat living in another country, hopefully permanently. Occasionally I wanna catch up on US shit but most of the time I care more about what’s going on in Europe and other places so I couldn’t care less about the perpetually stupid shit happening back in the US.

I’m still learning the language where I moved to so English news resources that are about other places can be very valuable to me. My main resource (and advice to others with this issue) is using an RSS reader with good sources you find along the way. Not every site has RSS these days but many do. I fill in the blanks with podcasts and stories in the language of my country. Only downside is no discussion unless you post on Lemmy or other social media, but maybe that can become a thing we do. :)

If I’m feelin’ fancy, I’ll break out the WD-40 Specialist Silicone

Lived there for decades, have to agree.

You have very few rights as a worker. Pay is dogshit, even for better jobs. Life there sucks even if you’re well off. Doesn’t matter if you’re rich, poor, left, right, black or white, it’s gon’ suck donkey balls being there.

Still made the best of my time there but now I’ve moved to Northern Europe and the difference is night and day.

Oh… You know. Hehehe
