I understand that.

I upvote insightful, educational or newsworthy content and downvote clickbait. Especially YouTube clickbait.

The one that still pains me to this day is Black Mesa.

I thoroughly enjoyed it, I even played it before the last chapter was done. I was really excited to go through the redesigned Xen levels, and was enjoying every minute.

Then they throw that massive spider into a huge arena filled with micro obstacles that prevent you from properly avoid all the multiple types of attacks it throws at you, while absorbing insane amounts of rockets.

I’m not a skilled gamer but I was moving through the game just fine until someone decided to crank the difficulty to eleven.

That killed the game right there for me. Other than that, it’s a brilliant game that I heartily recommend.

True, and as if that was not enough we now have to deal with LLM generated content feeding on misinformation and allucinated content generated by other LLMs.

That is going to get very annoying very fast.

And yet humanity invented this device that fits in your pocket and allows you to access unlimited knowledge. It’s sad, really.

Way back in the late XX century.

Oh look, Netscape Navigator is back.

They used to say that every product evolves until it can send mail. In that sense, this is now a mature product.

Of course nowadays no product is finished without built-in LLM functionality, so I’ll wait for that

I know what you mean. It’s like a stupidity tax. Being ignorant makes you fall for those kinds of products and schemes. Ignorance is expensive.

It’s not much but it’s honest work.

Inertia is an immensely powerful force.

You can and should use whatever OS fits your use case. Right tool for the job and all that.

What you should not do is post a clickbait video to trigger the penguins into giving you views.

I use the Cave Johnson defense.

How often are you going to be managing ports?

Just use any tool you like, all they do is fiddle with the Kernel’s filter table.

Yep, we’re officially old.

We tend to suppress traumatic memories, like freeing up lower ram with himem.sys and friends to load Novell NetWare network drivers.

Dear God, it’s all coming back to me! 😭

We played Doom on MS DOS. It was hugely popular because it was a breakthrough for PC gaming. So nothing to do with Linux.

Same here. I love a good western, so this caught me by surprise as I didn’t check the name of the movie beforehand.

I immediately recognized the name from the “most fucked up movies” lists that litter the web.

My favorite way of reviving ancient 32 bit hardware is installing Haiku. It’s such a cool little OS, even if it can’t do all the tasks modern Linux can.

Xubuntu is still my distro of choice.

Removing snap and installing flatpak is two commands away.

Thank you for bringing this back to me, sir.
