only if the question is “What can make me so angry as to throw my computer out the window”.

Once, 2ish years ago I think by now? I was trying to clean up all the shit I installed to compile something because it wasnt available on apt, had a repository, or had a .deb (I was on ubuntu at the time).

I mistyped something and ended up removing Python. Got no warning, no red text, no nothing. It just uninstalled it as if it was nothing.

I rebooted, and learned that a lot of fucking shit depends on python. because I no longer had a DE and could only boot into a terminal. after 2 hours of trying to unfuck it, I just used a live cd to save what files I could and reinstalled.

Oh, and I never got the program compiled and working. and never tried again on the fresh install. I dont even remember what it was now. Something for gaming, probably.

Yeah, cause shockingly enterprise customers don’t like the idea of microsoft taking big chunks of data for no rhyme or reason.

I mean, hes not wrong if hes talking about Windows 7.

if hes talking about 10 or 11, then the dudes clearly on LSD.

You’re supposed to take the backpack off, casually slide it out from under your trenchcoat, and offer it to m’lady to sit on while you hold her hostage converse with her.

I am a certified blithering idiot and even I feel like a high society intellectual compared to this picture.

Except it kiiiinda is. Cause look at the number of charges on both sides, and you’ll see an egregious swing to the right.

no matter how much you want to push the whole “both sides are the same” shit.

The only way you can push the both sides of are the same shit is by massively and disproportionately blowing up what the left does, and minimizing to outright ignoring what the right does.

Also, left tends to hold itself accountable to corruption and bad behavior, Meanwhile the right… well, Do I even need to state the obvious?

same. I have over a thousand games on my steam account and a humble bundle subscription.

I can wait years to pick up the all DLC included gold game of the year edition for 5 bucks on sale.

only time i ever get games on release anymore is if a friend gifts it to me, or if it comes as part of a bundle with new hardware (Like how I got Starfield with my new GPU)

I think you will find any place thats well moderated and cracks down on bigotry and hatespeech will skew left.

Weird how that is, huh?

big tiddy goth mommy dommy, fuck yes.

See, you can avoid that problem all together by being like me and not having any friends!

Its being hatefucked by googles unregulated dick.

1. Yes, like people often do on social media.
2. You didnt have to use your real name on social media until relatively recently, and depending on platform.
3. Yes, Like I said, filters.
4. Both are persistent, and both have breaking news
5. People who want everyone to know their personal updates, post them everywhere.
6. There is tons of social networking on sites like reddit, Lemmy probably less so. but only because its relatively recent in the zeitgeist.

Disagree, politely… Not in the “OMG INTERNET DISAGREEMENT I HOPE YOUR MOTHER GETS FUCKED BY A HORSE!” way.

Reddit/Lemmy/Etc are nothing more than slightly more elaborate twitter with better filtering/catagorization. Social media all the way down.

But its its not a major issue, so its not like we need to invest time in a slapfight over whose wrong and whose right.

I buy it on steam, because downloading the individual game installer files is annoying, and GOG Galaxy never worked right for me on windows.

On Linux, however, Lutris has good GOG integration, so I can just log into my GOG account via Lutris and install literally every game I own (which I have like 100 on gog) without much issue now.

Social media.

BBSes predate the internet.

I view forums as the middle era of the internet.

Th early era was chatrooms, the middle era was forums, and the late era, which we are in now, is all social media.

I miss the middle era of the internet. Forums were a blast. You could really build a community with those things.
