Linux is not that hard. These days it’s easier than Windows in some ways.
- Comment on Why Everyone’s Picking Up a PSP Again in 2026 (my article!) 1 week ago:
Touching on the burnout section of the article, it’s not quite as cool as the PSP but I’ve been playing a lot on my Switch 2 as a form of digital detox as well. I put limits on all the addictive apps on my phone, and downright uninstalled most of them, so when I’m itching for dopamine my phone can’t give me it’s nice to turn to a game console. The switch 2 also doesn’t have notifications or egregious game updates. Currently playing through factorio and having a blast just kinda … ignoring the state of the world.

Yeah I think it went pretty well. Would like to have a job at some point in the future as I recently bought a house only to be made redundant 4 months later.

They didn’t ask about the gap 🤷
- Comment on Draw! 1 month ago:
Job interview in 10 minutes, planning to say essentially this if they ask about my 2 month job gap. Will update if it goes poorly.

I escaped a teams only company for a slack company a few months ago. Best thing I ever did. Plus I got a payrise.

Big fan of this series.

Last sentence in that last comment.
- Comment on Get in the Hilux 1 year ago:
You’re getting there. A bank robbery is worse than a car theft, and society does put more resources into preventing bank robberies than car thefts. Maybe we should put more effort into stopping billionaires leeching billions than stopping Joe Schmoe from being on welfare.
- Comment on Get in the Hilux 1 year ago:
You’re still missing the point lmao. Who gives a fuck about a tiny drop of water when there’s a tidal wave coming for them.
- Comment on Get in the Hilux 1 year ago:
That’s fair, though we also don’t know how much this individual is getting from the welfare system. At the end of the day I’m far less annoyed by people like this than by billionaires or even just CEO-types who make tens, hundreds, or thousands of times what a normal person makes while providing arguably similar amounts of economic input.
Additionally, while this person’s comment comes across as proud, they more than likely actually need the support the welfare system gives them. There’s probably a reason they only started relying on it since covid.
- Comment on Get in the Hilux 1 year ago:
Billionaires leech millions of times what a poor person leeches, and yet you’re here complaining about the poor person (who has likely already paid more in taxes than they have leeched).
- Comment on Get in the Hilux 1 year ago:
Pretty big assumption here that they won’t pay more taxes than what they get from the government. I paid $20k in tax in the first year of my first non-retail job. If they paid taxes for 7-8 years before covid they probably already paid for themselves.
- Comment on why isn't anyone calling for Trump to drop out. 1 year ago:
The short answer is that they don’t believe any of the things OP said, or they can overlook them because they believe worse things about Biden/the democrats.

Being 2m tall they have to eat quite a bit more than average, and it sounds like they’re not.
- Comment on [Highlight] Charles Barkley asks Adam Silver about the domestic violence issues within the NBA 2 years ago:
Fucked up because he wasn’t ready for the question or because the content of his response was bad? I thought the content was fine but the delivery was poor.
- Comment on [Highlight] Charles Barkley asks Adam Silver about the domestic violence issues within the NBA 2 years ago:
Get em Chuck. Adam Silver clearly wasn’t expecting that question but his answer was pretty good (after some initial stumbling from being caught off guard).

This is looking like it could be a good finish. Was worried when the Lakers went down like 17 early on.

Why do the Lakers forget how to shoot when LeBron is on the bench?
- Comment on Kevin Spacey cleared of sexually assaulting four men 2 years ago:
Literally not how the justice system works lol. You have to prove them guilty beyond reasonable doubt (surely you’ve heard this phrase before), which means 100% proof.
- Comment on Kevin Spacey cleared of sexually assaulting four men 2 years ago:
Not guilty means there’s some doubt, no matter how small. The jury could be 99% sure he did it and (by the book) he should be found not guilty. It’s almost impossible to prove something like this, so stuff like this frequently gets not guilty verdicts regardless of whether they actually did it or not.
