Oh, shit. Sorry about that, I am incompetence itself. Thanks for coming to my aid. I replaced it just now in my comment too.

Another good reminder of my desire to drop this browser. The question is whether it's Ungoogled Chromium, or some Firefox forks available on Android and desktops.

It's sold through the European DRM-free-only store GOG and it's by Yacht Club Games, the makers of Shovel Knight. I put it on the wishlist for now.

The soundtrack is Pay What You Want starting from $0 through Jake Kaufman's Bandcamp page. It won't appear in your GOG library unlike the Soundtrack Edition, but that's OK if you get the music free or support him.

If we put aside the environmental damage and the capitalist aspects of LLMs, I fail to see why I should change the way I use my devices to let some hallucinating algorithm do stuff. The only times I use it is when I'm really stumped coming up with relevant search results, and even then there's more than 50% chance that it's not gonna achieve some break through.

I don't want Gemini. I want Google to Keep Android Open.

I read elsewhere here that this Ford guy also ordered a return to the office, and wants to build an underground tunnel below this road. Yep, it's gonna work out. He's deliberately making this thing worse. He could've solved this if he didn't have that kind of pro-employer agenda, damn.

I'm not Canadian or Torontonian (is that the right word?) so I... fail to see why there's so many cars on both sides of this highway. Where are they going for this fucked congestion to occur in the first place?

I just use the kernel that it ships with. Plays me stuff like Skyrim Anniversary Edition at the FPS I'd expect from my laptop on Windows. Things are nice.

That's what I was thinking of while reading the post, too.

Just switch to Debian, I haven't used a script like this (or heard of it). Get Wine from WineHQ to run Windows apps, they have the instructions on how to install it, and look up how to install the drivers for your GPU, and it'll work fantastic. That's all you'll need provided the rest of the system is working, I don't even have shit like certain launchers.

Maybe people don't really hate billionaires as in the class. They just hate specific people in that class. Does it make sense, absolutely not, but I can't find any other explanation for that particular brand of simp. The products aren't even good, just the same pairs of shackles one can find at other locations... run by the billionaires they hate.

Brain: You know, she looks like Vi- Sees comment -cky. Yeah.

Don't download from a shady looking website, go to reputable sources. Fitgirl, Internet Archive, etc. Read the comments if the website has them, don't have to read thoroughly, just a quick skim to see if other people reported things and whether they're false positives. Don't download things before they've released, or download things for other platforms but "for Windows"somehow. Make sure what you're downloading takes up the kinda space you'd expect from that game, (don't download GTA V but it's a 40mb download).

Yeah, we basically rely on blind faith. Honestly I trust pirates to keep their stuff clean more than the developers and the publishers themselves who just so often inject the malware called DRM in the first place.

Or by Valve and their clones to drive sales on their DRM'd game platforms. Movies haven't really died out on physical, not as much or as early as PC games. Combine that with the tactics of idiots who also used Starforce and its clones and they've also left an impression outlasting the few games that were infected with the stuff. Now the new normal is to buy stuff infected with online account DRM as if that's somehow better.

Okay but also I heard bluray movies can be directly played only on Windows, for other OSes you have to rip the movie. Must be fun.

Meanwhile I still have a couple disc drives and the one that came with my laptop is still with me but has been replaced by a caddy to access my data from the old hard drive alongside my smol new SSD.

And I have so many discs too...

Come to think about it, if Bill Gates did that, oh boy we wouldn't hear the end of it. If Jeff Bezos, it'd be rightfully put up there along with removing 1984 copies from libraries. Okay, get this, the Xbox 1 was panned before launch because it tried to get rid of the used games market, way after half life guy successfully did it.

These double standards are killing me.

Want to stop allowing "the values and whims of one person have sway over millions.", get rid of Musk, Bezos, Zuckerberg, Microsof-CEO-du-jour.

& Gabe the tech monopolist. He's a perfect match for that list.

The cruelty really is the point, huh?

I can't take Gabe lovers seriously, either.

Do you have an issue with desktop Cromite where the browser just straight up freezes except for maybe the menu button? I'd chalk up to being a Debian Linux weirdo, but my work-provided Windows 11 laptop also has this particular issue in the flesh. I switched back to Ungoogled Chromium because of it, and also cause I want uBlock Origin and no less.

At least Cromite Android has extensions.

Is every single shitty corporation going to fuck with the Linux garden now? I'm concerned.
