  A bit of internet history, account age was a measure of clout on Slashdot.org. Your account ID was posted as part of your replies, so the lower the number, the longer you have been on the site.

  Mine personally is in the 1.3M range, and I still read the site and I still see users posting on accounts as low as 500k ID, those have been around since the late 90s.

  The site is just a news agrigator at this point with a comment section full of boomers and greybeards (sys admins that probably should consider retiring), but its been my home page for ~20 years and I have no intention of changing that.

  The thing is that with W10 going EOL, everyone is going to be forced to learn a new OS, regardless if they want to or not (W11has been out for years, if you havent jumped, there is likely a reason). Lemmy users being the socially concious crusaders that they are, are encouraging people to make a better choice than defaulting to Windows again (given all its very real issues of useability and data harcesting).

  Not having access to preditory games due to self-imposed tech limitations isnt high on the list of reasons to choose linux, but its good shitpost material.

  Gross…

  Hey Canonical, hows that linux phone OS coming along?

  Shhh, we do not speak of such places. We do not wish for people to know their names and seek such dark recesses.

  Honestly, I was only interested in the hardware. Nokia made most of the phones that ran Windows phone and they made bricks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are you ladies doing tonight ⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Sigh… Your supposed to let it run for a second when you switch drinks. Noone wants to drink homeopathic Fanta, or I-Cant-Believe-Its-Not Coke with lime.

  The major problem—one of the major problems, for there are several—one of the many major problems with governing people is that of whom you get to do it; or rather of who manages to get people to let them do it to them.
  To summarize: it is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it.
  To summarize the summary: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job.

  Is this a Mr. Poopybutthole reference?

  Wowhead

  I had a friend involved in the hunt for this… Was a sight to behold and the look of disbelief when the devs called them on their obsession.

  Yah… Another casualty of the Netflix.

  You know you messed up when the biggest fanboy of the IP (who is built like a greek statue) wants to play the main character, and then walks away because they feel that the producers are no longer adapting the thing they were a fan of and are off writing their own fanfic.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Harsh⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I understood that reference.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Has this ever happened to you?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I dont mind that, so long as the food is cheap.

  My personal limit for that is ~20$, anything less than that and within reason, I wont question buying anyone food. Calories are important and im not going to judge people that quickly, have a pizza.

  I prefer to have that meal repaid in the future with an IOU or another meal rather dealing with money, also the social connections are more important.

  On the flip side, if I never see that person again. 20$ well spent.

  Not going to lie, Ive been using this joke ever since 47 tried doing that. Wasn’t it nice back when the daily distractions for the epstine files were attempts to rename shit instead of actual impeachable actions.

  Ni!

  Most people live in the northern hemisphere, winter in January is cold and miserable for a lot of the planet. What do you think people are supposed to do inside? Play checkers?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why Shouldn't I Use A Small Gaming PC⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Seconding steam deck, but also need to add in the docking station. That formfactor has stolen my heart, it does mobile gaming, along with having the horse power to be a PC substitute at home.

  In addition to SteamOS, but ill let others promote linux and sticking it to microsoft now that linux desktops are finally crossing the “it just works” finish line.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨5 tomatoes⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You dont write the number of feet in a mile as 14A0 (base-16 for this example).

  Your complaining about ratios used for unit conversion, not base numeral systems… Fuck, this feels like a slashdot comment.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨5 tomatoes⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The feet to mile conversion is still in base-10… Its the ratios between the units that are seemingly arbitrary. Come on…

  Index, its the Waffle House Index! And its very important to FEMA.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meanwhile in America⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I prefer the French Toast or Waffle House Indexes for unofficial silly weather measurement.

  Oh they are all petty twits.

  Regan pitched a fit and removed the solar panels Carter left on the roof when he left office. This is just more proof the regressive party has no taste.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you reconcile staying sane while keeping yourself up-to-date with the news?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Sanity is over-rated, now if yall dont mind. Im going to spend the rest of my day swimming in a lake that thinks its a gin+tonic.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You can only bring back one. Which do you choose?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Old Radio Shack, not that thing from 2015 that was functionally a brick and mortar cellphone stand.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Babe can you refill my drink from the cloaca dispenser please?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  For the bottom machine, run the faucet for a few seconds before you put your cup under it. Last thing anyone wants is half-watered down cherry coke or homeopathic fanta.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Eve Online developers CCP are being sold off, according to reports⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I dont blame you for that being the change that made you win EvE, I also think fondly of that era, but also recognize that MMO players in 2025 would not have hated the old game. The timegating of skills made it so characters had value, now they dont, people do and the shifting dynamics in 0.0 have come to reflect that (See the N+1 problem and the attempts to claw back an out of control ISK faucets).

  I do think the game is in a healthier place, but thats only been over the last year or so.
