Yeah the Roblox thing is hard to swallow, it used to work better on Linux than on any other platform for me. Everything else there’s alternatives - my local PC shop sells machines at a significant discount “without windows installed”, maybe if more did that the market would take care of things and the software vendors would have to support Linux.
- Comment on Have you ever felt a imaginary switch click that changed the trajectory of your life? 9 months ago:
I was about 19, a magician friend told me I was good enough at juggling to do busking but I was too shy. Decided to give it a go anyway and remember shaking so hard while lighting the fire torches I was using. Made R30 ($2) so not a lot but I did it. I remember thinking to myself, “I’ll never have to work again!”
That was over 20 years ago, and since then - with the exception of that stupid pandemic we had recently - I have made a decent living as a circus performer and magician.
I won’t tell you it wasn’t a bumpy ride at first, but that first show was the turning point for me I will never forget.
