I like the top panel bcs it allows for proper play time, not some baby bs. Kinda like cats vs cats play.

Never needed to clip any cats claws so I can’t sympathise entirely, but I doubt I would have forced the issue if kitties were too against it (especially if the second time they would still be against it).

And to how many already played games you return to bcs not enough energy to start a brand new game (especially with rich/complex lore).

Yeah.

The solution is GOG (their business model).

You get the individual keys, no DRM.

Yeah, wtf, what did Linux ever do to the great furry community sys admins?

Our group is still fully on Windows all the things (except like two virtual servers), desktops all run W10.

I will again plead in this years strategy to not upgrade to W11, if for nothing else ‘moral reasons’.
I’ll be the only one tho.

Yeah, this explanation makes the most sense to me.

Just a generalisation that “good at computers” is a programmer. So no Apple programmers :P (joking ofc)

Yes, a power tinkerer!

And if something needs to be programmed (or just coded, bcs copypasta), then that’s what’s gonna happen.

If IT won’t accommodate my ticket in the way I want Im just gonna write another ticket for access rights.

I was not explaining my logic nor my beliefs, just describing my smol sample (introvert!), as a btw fun fact.

But I was under the impression that there is no distinguishable difference between which OSs use programmes vs non-programmers (and the other way around).
Perhaps bcs I fail to se any specific connection between the two. But yes, my logic would be that both types use and are used by both to roughly the same extent.

(Haha, exactly same experience with relatives - forced them on Linux, never had anything non-trivial to fix since then.)

Wait … is there a perception (or reality?) that most Linux users are programmers?

I’m an introvert, but all programmers I know use Windows (and badly in the sense they aren’t power users).

Oh … I never randomly browsed game stores for new games to try.

Could you expand on that pls?

Im wondering how does the excess amount of games offered by a store affect your experience. How would you even notice that?

And - that they were a more closed store was what made them special?

Then I think of GOG I think about licencing, how I actually own a game purchased, how I have a key for it, how I’ll still own that game even of GOG stops existing. Thats not true for any of the other stores (outside of physical copies if some sell them, idk).

1Yes, exactly. Two different things.
And both great at what they do.

One can’t just equate devs.
Its like grandma wanting me to fix her computer because I ‘also have a computer at work’.

They barely “support” Windows, they aren’t rally a software dev company, they are just sell you the actual game (unlike Valve etc).

And that is precious, the world needs companies that help restore some equality on the market.

And also what Nothing said.

GOG.
We need to support GOG and it’s model as much as possible.

“Arch-based by-the-path”

… wait, what do the remaining 1 out of 10 Hollywood actresses use?

I bet it’s kebab based markup.

Not only that, but they will provide it in 120 different colours (same product/service tho)!

Not to mention they will have a rainbow logo during pride month.

Oh, and you can invest in both of their stocks & demand them to boost their profits & pay you more dividends.

What? No, ofc that wouldn’t cause inflation, there is no relation between the two, absolutely none whatsoever. Its just how the invisible hand of the market works (reacharound included only for the few).

Always satanise your inputs.

There are actually like 10 exact same glasses from different manufacturers/brands, from 250-ish moneys upwards (you might need various addition interfaces for your devices, like PC, HDMI, etc - sold separately and unreasonably expensive for what they are).

They all use the same design, Sony OLEDs, speakers, batteries, accessories, etc, they only differ in front design.

I love how when I stream music to my car a little VLC icon appears on the screen, under the album art. So proud.

Yeah, I know, and the new streaming formats technically supporting ads … What can I say - the world is a fuck & we must manage (or not manage, I’m not your boss, Im barely my boss).
