Anticheat or intentional dev hatred (looking at you, Epic) are basically then only reasons you’d need to yeah

Best solution is just to keep a Windows install on part of your disc in case you absolutely need it, as far as I can tell. I occasionally mess with Unreal Engine and doing so on Linux sucks so I just briefly boot into Windows

Highly recommend doing so, there’s a lot of pretty beginner-friendly distros and you can always dual-boot with Windows if you need it for something (I did this at first but rarely need to boot into Windows at this point)

thanks @jtp.bsky.social for the boost resulting in my phone turning into a perpetual motion machine for the last hour. i will convert more of the masses to linux in your honor. billions must try.

linux is cool because now i have a cool puter that lives under my tv that pretends to be a steam deck so i can play games on it while sittin in bed

getting a lot of feedback telling me that i *shouldn't* shut the fuck up and that people *want* me to post more about linux?! this has never happened to me before

it’s crazy to see someone eagerly posting about linux and the responses being “wow maybe i should switch to linux”. the planet is healing, together we can retake computer from evil

my personal opinion is that jenny tightpants should post about linux even more because people are actually switching now and that is a staggeringly new reaction to someone talking about linux. anyways switch to linux i did it last year and now my computer doesn’t suck.

me when im a giant social media company and between bouts of force-feeding my users AI i have to ruin their experience but somehow manage to keep them crawling back like an abusive relationship

Honestly that’s Discord’s fault more than webp’s, webp is great when it’s actually supported lmao

My personal favorite used to be
> Download emote
> Attempt to reupload emote
> File type not supported
Because Discord used to simultaneously convert all emotes to webp but also didn’t actually let you upload webp emotes for the longest time

"average person takes 1000 photos a year" factoid actually just statistical error. average person takes 100 photos a year. Photos Getty, who lives in cave & takes over 10,000 each day, is an outlier and should not have been counted

Yeah like. A lot of it is very clearly performative and not actually concerned with making meaningful positive change. It’s just another way to throw insane wealth around to produce more insane wealth.

People will defend him by saying "oh sometimes he like gives water to african kids" but then he'll talk about how he has no life or personality outside of content. And then he'll make Squid Games 15, a production with more physical and mental safety risks than actual Squid Games.

type of white guy that yells slurs at video game characters alone in his house because he knows no one can hear him

Like we went from "lol it's the thing they say in Star War movie" to "Why are you saying this as if it's a very different word. Why are you inventing other slurs. Why is that one dangerously close to a real slur that isn't even very common which implies far more knowledge than I'm comfortable with."

I feel like clanker was so non-serious until the exact wrong type of people discovered it and then it stopped being "haha lol insulting AI because it's robot and has no feelings" and became "okay this person said clanker and it's 50/50 whether or not they're joking or they really want to use slurs"

for what it's worth: if you're in any, *any* position to switch to linux right now, this is a good time to start looking into it.

the ecosystem has evolved so, so much over the past few years (for both gamers and creatives), and i've been happily running windows-free since february.

It's a level of apathy that doesn't even financially make sense especially because we've seen companies who DON'T have massively queer consumer bases try and pander to the far right and lose absurd amounts of money over it. More than apathetic, this comes across as just downright lazy.

It's honestly a bizarre move. Framework is in a sphere of tech dominated by minority groups and their supporters, alienating those groups in favor of supporting software made by bigots makes no sense. I'd imagine the average alt-right nazi is FAR less likely to buy a Framework than a queer person.

Me when I post about my terminal butt cancer and someone reacts with lolepiccat emote (it’s their default like emote and they have no idea it conveys something wildly different than a normal like)

See the issue with this is that lot of people are Stupid Idiots who have no sense of tone and will use custom default reacts that indicate literally nothing aside from “I wanted silly image as my react :D” so you’ll have a serious post and someone’s default react will be a goofy image of an animal

This feels like a threat

Google how do I delete someone else’s post also how do erase my memory

I meant it more as like a “I have learned that which must not be learned and am now suffering the consequences” way but now I’m just sort of impressed by the commitment

I feel like I just opened the ark of the covenant, face-melting included

See it’s tricky because you have to ensure it never leaves any part of your body for any amount of time. If it’s in the open air it doesn’t count, so you gotta autofellatio that shit

Hopefully after, wouldn’t want them to put you down before you can look at those

Right after they add “putting Amber down” to it I think

Wireback is obviously kinda bad just because that’s wayyy too close to a very specific and rarely used slur, but clanker is like. Nothing. That’s not a real anything. It’s closer to cracker than anything legitimately bad
