While I understand the sentiment, I have to disagree.

This is nearly perfect comedy, Without the final redirect it’s just a rant about Fake Plastic Trees

Beef, it’s what’s for dinner

You may or may not be aware of composer Aaron Copland. You’ve probably heard his work, or something inspired by it, at some point. In fact, if you remember the 90’s (edit: in the US) you most certainly know one of his works, from the Rodeo suite. Specifically “Hoe-down”. You just associate it with a particular food

Just past the 1 minute mark is where it gets real familiar

Can confirm, am depressed

Look on a bag of Doritos.

Do you see a list of ingredients and nutritional value? That’s because they are regulated by the FDA

I’m in this picture and I love it

I’m in this picture and I don’t like it

Also, are you suggesting coconuts migrate?

Just stay away from nvidia on Linux and you are golden.

I’m sorry but this is the kind of condescending bullshit that pushes me away from Linux

I got a 3070TI for half off MSRP for open box in the middle of the crypto bubble, and I’m not buying another GPU until I absolutely have to.

You want more people to embrace Linux? Make it work on startup without jumping through a bunch of hoops, on the hardware we already own.

Your lived experience with Windows is yours, and I’m glad you have a system that works for you. I don’t have the time or mental energy to learn, not just a new OS, but also all of the bugs that go with it.

Look, I get it. I’m putting my apprentice in my old work van, and as I’m looking at the old heap I’m remembering all the little quirks it has that I’ve developed blind spots for. Blind spots they don’t have. Quirks that are actually problems. I know there are problems with windows that I ignore because I know how to work around them. I know the workarounds because I’ve been using Windows since 3.11. I didn’t have that experience with Linux, and neither does my wife. A woman who once nearly bricked our computer falling for an Indian call center scam.

When this rig bites the dust, I’ll probably build a Linux gaming box and just tell her to get used to the OS. For now, we’re using Windows

Also HP is shit and I’d gladly put any HP exec in the hospital if I met them

That would be me.

Tried Ubuntu 15 years ago, but couldn’t because Nvidia driver issues, and haven’t tried again

Look, dudes, I’m bootstrapping a small business while trying to manage ADHD. I can barely get two hours of admin work done in an eight hour day. I just need things to work. I’d love to walk away from Windows but I don’t have the mental bandwidth for that shit

And even if I did, my wife and I share a gaming computer/media center. There’s nothing like having her call me in the middle of a workday because my VPN is keeping her from logging into PBS so that she can watch Grantchester. Imagine the headaches if I installed a new OS.

Much like improving my physical fitness, I have the desire, but not the will

I am Japan wrong lol, pretty much everyone else on that map was affected by colonialism. I mean, Japan was affected too, but Japan’s response to colonialism was “that’s a good idea, we’ll do it even harder” so I don’t think they count as another arm of Britannia.

Oh for sure for sure. Definitely reverse when traveling in countries that get it wrong want to remain a UK colony.

Sadly since COVID I’ve not been able to do much international traveling. But I do still get routed through Chicago O’Hare, which adds insult to injury

(Also I’m just joking about that colonies jab. The only “correct” way is the way the community at large has decided in a particular area.)

Me in either case:

“Walk the left, stand on the right, dipshit”

Oh dang you’re right, I definitely remember a DF version but yes

Amazing news and you love to hear it! I’m so happy Tarn and Zach get to benefit from their passion project. TBH i haven’t played since they introduced magic. I got distracted by other things. But I 100% bought it through steam as soon as it was released, just out of appreciation

So if you’ve played Rimworld it’ll feel familiar. Much more complex but part of that complexity is because you can traverse the Z axis, and make multi-level fortresses. I don’t think Tarn has ever recoded to allow multi thread processing, so everything runs on a single CPU core (my info may be out of date). If that’s still the case At any rate, the end of every fortress (that doesn’t succumb to a mood spiral or a were-beast or an elf invasion or the circus or forgetting to pack an anvil or vampires or a cavern collapse) is fps death. Usually from cats. But remember, losing is fun!

The original comic was about the learning curve of various games. The black line represents Dwarf Fortress

The original comic was very accurate

I genuinely lol’d. Thank you

I’ve found Grayjay helps me hate YouTube less

Forget it Jake, it’s Chinatown Lemmy
