It’s something some schools do. It’s not mandated by the government.

I bought a SteamDeck as a way to test and see what works and what doesn’t on Linux. So far all my games have run with no issues.

I’m likely going to be posting and searching through a lot of Linux forums as Win10 gets closer to EOL.

This is what I’m going to have to do as well since my computer isn’t compatible with Win11. The only thing I’m worried about is gaming.

The difference this time is that my computer literally can’t run Win 11. I’m not throwing away a perfectly good PC just because of Win 11’s hardware requirements.

That is definitely way too invasive. Plugging something on to a Roku TV shouldn’t enable them to show you ads through that other device.

I was actually thinking about getting a Roku once too. Really dodged a bullet.

I saw a video that blamed some of it on advances in microphone technology. Actors used to speak directly into a mic but now sets have a bunch of tiny microphones hidden everywhere to pick up sounds.

This took me an embarrassingly long time to figure out.

The houses are so close together and have so little yard I don’t see why they didn’t just turn them into townhouses.

Now I’m curious how that would taste.

Sometimes it feels like I’m the only person who legitimately liked the first Super Mario Bros movie. I would regularly rewatch it when I would see it come on tv before I eventually recorded it so I could watch it whenever.

All of these American examples are missing a key part of the Isekai genre which is power fantasy. 99% of Isekai involves the MC being an overpowered self-insert character that has a harem of sex slaves.

I consider Isekai and other world to be different aspects of the same basic concept.

I’m dying laughing at the image in my head about your scenario.

Gay Waiter: And what do you want?

You: I want some pasta fag.

I would consider squatting a form of sitting not standing but if that’s what people mean then it at least makes more sense to me.

This question pops up every now and then on social media and it always blows my mind that there are people who wipe standing up. I just don’t understand the logistics of it and it seems like it would make things more difficult.

It was awhile ago but I read that a lot of streaming services don’t make a profit and I can understand the logic. With ads, there is a direct link between a show and it’s profits. The more people watch a show, the more people see the ads, the more a company can charge for ads on that show. Without ads it becomes difficult. It doesn’t matter if 100 people watch or a million, the profits are the same.

I feel it’s inevitable that streaming services are going to go back to ads. It’s the better business model.

Twitter should be one of the easiest social media platforms to leave. Mastodon seems every bit as good as Twitter with the lack of users being it’s only real flaw.

The microblog style seems to work the best with federation as well since you’re following people.

I believe it was Deus Ex where you could fail the first mission if you took too long exploring.

As anxiety inducing as it would be, I think it would be nice if occasionally a game would come out where the entire thing was timed. Take too long and the bad guy will complete their evil plan and win.

Yup. There’s a reason they start every conversation with “Don’t be scared”.

The description I remember described the angel as several flaming wheels covered in eyes and wings.

I really like that pachinko analogy. It gets the basic concept across without having to wade into technical descriptions.

I’m holding out as long as I can on Win10 for gaming. It’s my hope that Linux gaming will be compatible with most of my games by the time I have to choose between Win11 and Linux. Last time I checked there were a few games I was interested in that weren’t completely compatible with SteamOS.
