I wouldn’t have been able to play day one because of family plans but after watching a few of the teams on twitch who were struggling, I knew I didn’t want to try at all. I’m not much of a raider anyway, but this one definitely doesn’t seem like it’s for me.

It kinda looks like Sanjay from Sanjay and Craig.

I’ve noticed a lot of users on here actually really like the lack of recommendations. My use hasn’t gone down but I do miss having videos on the YouTube main page, particularly on my PC.

A whole bag of them!

I mean it’s on a laptop that’s plugged into my stereo and streams Spotify and my music collection. On my main system I don’t use snaps but for that particular one I wanted kubuntu and Spotify and that was basically it. But I guess you are right about them wearing me down.

I use snaps for Spotify and Firefox. I know that it’s “forcing” something on users in an ecosystem where things should never be forced on you but as long as they work, I just don’t want to fight them anymore.

Careful. They could be listening.

I never knew that existed. That’s awesome.

He’s referring to Mint gum. He choked on it.

Jennifer Government by Maxx Barry. In fairness I read it 20 years ago and do not know how it’s aged. It was good back then though.

It will sound better than streaming directly from your phone but it’s not worth it to most people. The cable conversation is a whole other subject. There are still audiophiles that claim that cables costing upwards of $1000 are worth it and sound better. It blows my mind.

I run Windows on the main family computer for simplicity and Linux on my personal (slightly older) laptop. I’m trying to teach my kids about it in hopes that they will have the same level of curiosity that I did back in the early 2000s. Plus I’d love to not run Windows at all.

By the way I use Slackware doesn’t really roll off the tongue.

I lost my username. It sucked but I don’t feel screwed. I do feel like the username change was not necessary.

I won’t pay for anything that discord offers. I understand that companies are there to make money but they do not have anything of actual value to sell me. I don’t care about emojis or Nitro or whatever. I just want a chat client that allows me to communicate with people I play certain games with. In-game chat can do this as well and I will simply go back to that if the monetization of discord gets to be too big of a problem. It’s less convenient and sometimes sucks when folks are on different platforms but it’s free.

This is why I’m here. Thank you.
