Exactly this, the community has proven it will put the effort to make it work, and a lot of things that don’t still are because the companies resist it intentionally

Except a lot of anti cheat now supports Linux. Destiny 2 doesn’t run on Linux only because Bungie refuses to allow it, their AC supports Linux just fine now

Funnily enough, I’ve had almost this exact same thing happen… On Windows. More than once. Spending days getting it to run hardly at all and weeks trying to figure out how to make it run well. On modern hardware, with both old and new games alike.

I’ve not had that much trouble yet with Linux gaming, with only a few exceptions where I needed to tweak a couple things stuff has pretty much just worked.

If that’s the distinction they’re going with, they don’t actually know what a rootkit is and have no business declaring something is or isn’t one

I remember really liking Encounter at Farpoint when i was a kid

Rewatching it more recently, I realized Diana’s “PAIN! I FELL PAIN!” was her sensing the audience’s reaction to the horrible episode

Like… It had a single episode worth of good episode in there but they left the other half in that should have hit the editing room floor

ETA: I had to look up what season 5 episode 2 is, and yes, that’s an excellent representation

I’d argue that the second pilot of the original series, “Where No Man Has Gone Before” is also a excellent overall introduction to Star Trek: cerebral rather than action oriented, the focus on the people and their relationships both with each other and their own humanity, asking questions of the audience to make us think, solid message (“absolute power corrupts absolutely”)…

But definitely skip the original pilot, The Cage, in its standalone form. Watching that, we were damned lucky it didn’t get shitcanned fully right then and there

I’ve seen a lot of people, including servers and diners, defending tipping culture.

Sadly.

I’m on the side of tipping while in a tipping culture, but only because of the crap way servers are payed and they’re the only ones hurt by protesting through refusing to tip. Otherwise, it’s a practice that needs to die.

True

People going on about how much electric cars suck are usually shocked when I agree with them… And moreso when I point out that they suck because they’re still cars, and that’s not a conversation the anti-EV crowd is ready to have.

Also, goes into the old “Reduce, Reuse, Recycle” mantra which it seems nobody understands is ordered that way intentionally as that’s the order they should be implemented. Reducing usage is by far the most effective tactic for positive environmental impact or environmental harm reduction.

They just get to “recycle” and see that they can change pretty much nothing more than putting trash in a different bin and figure that’s all they need to do. Even though it’s a really poor overall impact.

Because they didn’t feel like going to lunch? Was it mandatory? If so, were they going to get paid for it? And for the gas to come in just to have lunch?

It’s okay, I’ve already switched to Linux

Shouldn’t have to, it should be something to enable or better yet install

I asked it how to get rid of it.

It decided my aggressive language was not okay and kept ending the “conversation” which only managed to piss me off even more.

If I want to curse at my f$king computer, I’m going to curse at my f$king computer. I paid for the damned thing, and it is a thing, not a person, I can yell at it all I want and not hurt it in any way so this policing of what we can say to it is all the more bizarre to me.

Joking aside, I have a lot of respect for quality QA, and developers who actually listen to and work with their target audience and operations teams

How did you know my ssid? You stalking me?

As a sysadmin, the sysadmin parts are 100% true

Gotcha, good to know!

Yes, the difference is that instead of it being firm or soft depending on if you use cold or hot water (respectively), it has a firm side and a soft side that remains that way regardless of water temperature.

At least, that’s my understanding, I’ve never tried a scrub mommy

Yeah, reading it again and I can see that interpretation…

This is why you shouldn’t rely on yourself alone for proofreading your writing, I probably could have read that a hundred times and not seen another way to read it without someone else pointing it out

I guess, if you ignore the comma…

I don’t even know how to respond to this considering it has nothing to do with what I said…

Yes, I think we all like to blame git
