Just say you are from New Hampshire with a cockney accent.

Fair enough. That’s what I get for shit posting (as in skimming through threads on the loo)

OP’s picture is in Canada though.

Is it customer hostile? I thought it was just licencing-hostile, fucking over others with their IPS left and right.
I don’t know much about them.
- Comment on ‘Elden Ring’ Movie in the Works From ’Civil War’ Director Alex Garland, A24 2 weeks ago:
Super Mario Bros. (1993) was a cult classic.
The 2023 movie is forgettable garbage.
The Sonic movies are fun though. Knuckles TV as well.

No one will care, and the non-critical echochamber will keep truckin’ on for the wrong reason.
- Comment on I'm a console gamer so, Why the hate on the Epic Games Store? 2 weeks ago:
Which operating system is that?
- Comment on Survey for curiosity: How many readers are in a library network that holds video games? 4 weeks ago:
Mine does. Some games are non stop booked. Others, mostly the sports games titles, are always available on the shelves.

- Comment on If I snapped you back in time 650 years right this very second, how would you use your current knowledge to succeed? 1 month ago:
They should probably fear the Spanish first. Or the French. Or the Portuguese. Depending on area.

I haven’t had any issues with heroic launcher.
- Comment on What are some FOSS programs that are objectively better than their proprietary counterparts? 1 month ago:
I’m using Kate now, but from my experience NPP has a lot more features built in for which I actually have to write some scripts to use with Kate. NPP has really strong encoding encoding and schema manipulation features and a robust plugin system.
If NPP had a native linux build, I’d go back to it in a heartbeat.

If the 2-in-1 is holding you back, it worked for me with Linux Mint, touch and gyro rotation included. Touch works out of the box.
It did require me setting up iio-sensor-proxy with xrandr for the gyro sensor so it adjusts the screen when spinning the laptop around in tablet mode though. But the guide was pretty straight forward.

And caves.
And caves with water probably.

- Comment on Am I going crazy, or has people's spelling gotten awful lately? 1 month ago:
How is swipe writing supposed to work? I’ve never seen it in action by someone IRL, and whenever I’ve tried it myself, it seemed to be way too much hassle vs just typing shit and using predicts to auto complete.

“I’m a normal user of sidewalks.”
- Comment on 6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux? 2 months ago:
I’m using multi monitors with mixed resolutions and a very old nvidia card (gtx 670).
The only problem I have is that if I put them to sleep, while autorandr or whatever gets me the resolutions and layout back, the app windows move around like crazy because they all wake up at different times, likely due to a mix of HDMI + DVI + DisplayPort connections.

How good is it? Does everything work like on the deck?
- Comment on Google will develop the Android OS fully in private, and here's why 2 months ago:
Banking apps just buy into false security peddled by google. They are absolutely not necessary for security of an app, just like kernel level DRM & anti cheat is not necessary for video games.

In Hungary hunters love them. You get money for every boar shot and they make an okay stew.

It’s fairly easy to keep them in check though.
- Comment on How do the Republicans feel about Project 2025 now? 2 months ago:
I’ve been trying to crack this and it seems impossible. It’s a black box. You can dismantle every policy by looking at it from a certain standpoint and trying to apply your subjective logic to it. But when Zionist Israel is on the table, all logic goes out the window.
We can take the presidents one by one:
Obama - change - doesn’t change anything about relations and policies with Israel
Biden - staunch defender of Israel. Doesn’t matter what they do, he condemns anything and everything bad, but Israel commits genocide and he doesn’t even acknowledge it.
Harris - polls showed that she could have gained massive voter support, had she expressed anything in favour of Palestine and acknowledge genocide, but she decided to lose instead for some reason. Proof of what would win her the election wasn’t enough. She could have lost the Zionist campaign funding and still come out ahead.
Trump - you’d assume he doesn’t care about money because he already has it, doesn’t care about power because he’s literally the president of the most powerful nation. He’s immune to prosecution, so Israel can’t even have something as stupid on him as being a serial child rapist, he’d shrug it off. That stupid Gaza beach resort video. Still doesn’t make sense from fiscal standpoint. He also breaks tradition and protocol on everything.
There could be better allies in the region, and there have been. But it has to be Israel for some reason, in its current apartheid and genocidal state. My only explanation would be that the Zionist government of Israel and the US government are one and the same on some level, somehow, somewhere.
- Comment on The gentrified forest near me removed the bins. .. From their café/picnic area 2 months ago:
Most of these places, at least in Canada, are strictly operated as not-for-profit establishments, with focus on as little actual litter as possible. So no plastic lids or straws, no packaging. Wooden stir sticks, brown paper bags, etc. Local produce only. While these decompose easily, it’s still unsightly, so most of Parcs Canada / SEPAQ doesn’t have bins outside either.
I’d be disappointed if this were not the way that things are being done in England.
- Comment on How come in most school in the USA (at least mine) they teach Spain Spanish instead of Mexico Spanish? Would not Mexico Spanish be an obvious choice to teach? 2 months ago:
In contrast though, I’m close to native in German, yet have a hard time with Austro-Bavarian dialects and can’t understand Schwiizerdütsch at all. The amount of times I have to say “Hochdeutsch, bitte…”
- Comment on Sun God 3 months ago:
Adjecent, probably. Very similar, and seems to purposefully be set a hundred years after Blue Mars ends (2212).
- Comment on Sun God 3 months ago:
The nomadic colony got expanded on in KSR’s novel 2312. I don’t actually remember much about it in the Mars Trilogy.
But I’ve seen the concept before in an old EU Star Wars novel, one of the Solo books maybe, where Lando was operating something similar as his new venture.
And before that maybe mentioned by Sagan. And before that…
- Comment on Any Roguelike/Roguelite suggestions? 4 months ago:
Eeeeeeeeenter the Gungeon
Nuclear Throne’s low fps was off putting for me and I could never get into Binding of Isaac’s juvenile style, personally.
Crypt of the Necrodancer is an amazing game.
Dome Keeper and Runestone Keeper are also fun.
- Comment on what was the last game you played in 2024? 5 months ago:
Me too. But I’ll wait for stable release.
