“Millionaire hit with $20 antitrust fine in Spain”

I really, really don’t like the “games as a service” thing Microsoft is trying to shove into the industry. Just watch, it will pan out exactly like the streaming services. Once the golden years (equivalent of OG Netflix) of “burn money by throwing in more games than we can afford” are over, we will gradually see fragmentation, price hikes, cost-cutting, etc.

Fuck Microsoft.

I know I’m preaching to the choir, but whatever.

lol

That officers velumtuous ass is positioned almost perfectly as a focal point.

Golden retrievers: the goodest of boys.

True story, every time I see a golden retriever when driving (by myself), I say “WHAT A GOOD BOY” out loud habitually. Only goldens, and sometimes labs if they look extra behaved.

Maybe that’s cringe to some, but I adore these dogs.

“Intellectual pedigree” is the most pretentious things I’ve heard in a while …

We had an HP Inkjet printer for over 5 years, one of the older ones. Ink was expensive, but tbh everything else worked great.

Then we got our new HP Inkjet. Genuinely the worst machine I have ever owned. I can’t fucking scan anything without an HP account, and even then it hardly works. I’m going to buy a Brother laser printer soon, as soon as I bring it home that HP printer is going to be smashed to bits in my driveway.

This is good news. I want to use this post to shout out Heroic launcher.

A small team of devs (GitHub says 150 contributors, but likely only a small percentage of that consistently works on it), made a free, open-source launcher that is VASTLY better than Epic’s piece of shit.

I mean, for real, this multi-billion dollar company can’t even properly make a basic-ass piece of software. For over three years it has been a laggy mess that bombards the bottom right of my screen with ads. No significant changes or updates that have made the launcher more usable. I deadass pirate the games epic has given me for free so I don’t have to deal with their launcher.

How right to repair is good for the consumer, complete lie. Daddy Tim Cook is keeping me safe with my glued in phone battery, anti-replacement display chip, Apple repair program required NDA, etc. He also bullies manufacturers into cutting off all direct-to-consumer sales of components, so that no nasty unsafe display ends up in my device. Thanks Tim, and fuck Louis! (obvious /s)

I disagree. But, if true, we have been trolled to an elite level.

Holy shit, that is so unhinged. Multiple accounts of, what seem to me like, paranoid delusions from the GrapheneOS dev. As a user this is concerning, and I will keep an eye on it going forwadd.

Darranged, racist and borderline-transphobic Denuvo cracker who goes off on unhinged rants pretty often. Generally what she says doesn’t hold much weight.

Check the FreeMediaHeckYeah wiki, but as far as I know 1337x is still generally safe.

As someone who uses GrapheneOS, and likes Louis Rossman, this is very concerning. Could you link me to some info on this?

Don’t forget the: “I’m the greatest philosopher who ever lived” and “I use visions and astral-states to crack my games” parts

I saw this tweet a while ago that was like “Piracy lore is crazy, there’s only like 2 people who know how to crack Denuvo. One of them is a psychotic transphobe who speaks like a JRPG villain, and the other only cracks football games”

I’m paraphrasing, but honestly it’s so accurate…

Edit: For anyone confused, here is a great writeup on the history of Denuvo cracking, and Empresses lunacy

Bold of you to assume anyone on here will be able to claim social security before it goes kaput

Haha, now I feel dumb needing the joke explained to me

I actually want to try a LFS install, mostly to gain a deeper understanding of how Linux works. To anyone who’s done an LFS install: good idea or waste of time?

Gentoo is the final boss of Linux installs. (Linux From Scratch is the raid boss)

I installed it last year. After watching it compile for half an hour, I decided that a source-based distro was something I have no interest in daily-driving.
