Not quite the music for such an occasion, but their work on The Social Network goes unreasonably hard

You joke, but NDAs do not

Old employer bought Windows keys from G2A.

They’re not around anymore…

What a guy!

More copies is good, I just don’t want to see duplicates in the UI. Show me what movies are available, but just stream whatever copy has the highest quality.

Because Tailscale uses Wireguard, but doesn’t rely on my inept ass to know what I’m doing.

Tailscale ftwwwww

Netflix is just S3 with a fancy UI.

Also eliminate duplicates. Don’t need to see a everyone’s individual copies of Iron Man, just show me one, then pick from the host that has the lowest latency and highest quality.

Edit: don’t even worry about latency if it’s not live

That’s completely subjective. Although if you find survival in general fun, you’ll probably feel right at home

!RemindMe 6 months

Ahoy :(

Currently playing it on my Steam Deck. Proton handles it pretty well, performance is alright if you lock it to 30, and the controls all work, even with correct button prompts

Holy shit you’re an idiot and completely missing the point.

Gotta respect a quality use of the word “thrice”

It’s not that I don’t think they can understand or appreciate it.

Think of it like this: coffee snobs can spend all day explaining to you the intricacies of the chemistry, the way the beans are grown, the way you grind them and the way you distribute them and the way you boil the water and pour it over or French press or whatever.

But at the end of the day, I just want a decent cup of coffee, I’m not picky. I don’t care. I understand what the coffee snob is trying to explain, I just don’t care.

In the same sense, a regular person can grasp Linux perfectly well. I can explain to them all day the benefits on open source and having ownership of your OS and full control over what packages end up on your machine and the g-g-goodness of a decent package manager. But at the end of the day, they’re not picky. They don’t care. They understand what I, a tech snob, am trying to say, they just don’t care.

The same way they may have a hobby or job in medicine or gardening or construction or whatever, they have things they care about that aren’t Linux, and there are millions of things in the world a person can care about. But a person that believes the thing they care about is more important than what other people care about is just fucking insufferable, and constantly telling others they should “Just Use Linux” is no different than a stereotypical vegan trying to get everyone to go vegan or a craft beer snob using it as their only personality trait or a gun nut that actually just has a snuff fetish or that person that constantly tells you “do you have a moment to talk about our lord and savior”, except in this case, your Lord and Savior is just Linus Torvalds.

Those people are weird. I’m saying this as someone that has a Steam Deck and runs Proxmox and Opensense and 13 VMs and containers on my network, so you know I understand the value: Linux should never be prescribed to Normies. This is not the year of the Linux desktop. It might be your year of the Linux desktop, and that’s great! But to blanket prescribe it to everyone with a slight problem in Mac or Windows with the phrase “Just Use Linux!:tm:” like all of their problems will go away if you just move to a new OS is the most asinine, fanboy shit I’ve ever heard of. And it doesn’t have anything to do with “skill issues” or whatever, it’s that normal people don’t fucking care, just want shit to work

But I get it, we’re in the fediverse, where people have a higher proclivity for open source, open protocol, open hosting, open bars, etc. But if you’re reading this and getting upset, please understand there’s a whole lot of other shit to care about, and someone’s choice of OS has as much to do with you as their sexual preferences: none at all.

Red flags flying

Feel better?
