Same. Before it was a mess of various wine tricks to get things working, now it is very easy.
Also the great return policy! Can buy, try, return if it does not work. Steam is really knocking it out of the park, when compared to everything else. - Comment on You must be THIS not disabled to use the public footpath 3 months ago:

From other countries that have regulations: prevent known criminals, known serious mentally ill people, known abusers, from having guns. Enforce gun lockers, and responsible ownership. Enforce education and training.
Most countries still have guns you know. Even just the gun lockers would prevent the us rampant murdering toddlers. - Comment on Everyday, as an American 5 months ago:
What anyone mean when they say get rid of dst is to stop the flipflopping.
But i guess you are technically right. Witch i have heard is the best kind of right. Even if very pedantic ;) - Comment on Everyday, as an American 5 months ago:
I would not mind if americans used whatever. As long as anything exported from america always!! used metric. As it is now we need 2 complete sets of nuts and bolts, pipes and fittings, tools and gizmos, csbles and connectors. Just imagine the space we could save in our shops and storages if we could /2 the requires spare part storage. Not to mention the time and frustration avoided when doing basically anything on almost anything.

You can make summer time the regular time you know. Removing dst is about getting rid of changing the clocks twice a year.

I imagined they used bugs per license plate for that. Since those are fixed size and vertical.

While that may be true. The filter bubble is also a very real thing.
Social media sites earn their money by your attention. And try to keep it as long as possible, with all the tricks in the books, and some they invented.
So when someone belives something. They search about it. And belive they have done research. When they find what the site belive keeps them engaged.Want to know more? sorry, been playing to much helldivers 2. ;) www.ted.com/…/how_to_pop_our_filter_bubbles
The science is not conclusive tho. Perhaps i am in a bubble… messes with the head…

Closing to 6k. There is just infinite replayabillity. Then you add mods, and friends.
- Comment on Steam keeps on winning 10 months ago:
Absolutely. I have not pirated a single game since I got steam. Before that it was almost exclusively pirated games. no shops close by, and buying on mail order took FOREVER! and was very much hit or miss… And impossible to return.
I did buy most of the games that i enjoyed, and played a lot. Since i wanted the box on the shelf. but i still played the pirated version. since that was much easier then puling out the book and look at the 5th word on the 3rd paragraph on page 121 for the copy protection. :) - Comment on Steam keeps on winning 10 months ago:
having a company that is not actively trying to exploit us is surprisingly refreshing.
- Comment on Steam keeps on winning 10 months ago:
do not give them good ideas. I need steam to have all games since it is the only one with any good linux support. it does not matter if EGS have free games if i can not play them.
- Comment on What's up with Epic Games? 10 months ago:
for sure! steam liberated my machine from a windows dual boot partition. and made me go 100% linux all the time. gratitude is not really strong enough. it is more like when you have been captured, and then set free.
- Comment on This toilet paper at my work 11 months ago:
Toilet paper was invented in the 15th century. Capitalism in the 16th. Explains a lot actually…

Does it really end? I fear my sleep patterns are irrevokably fucked. And i will never have another good night’s sleep.
- Comment on Microsoft expected to finally buy Activision Blizzard next week 1 year ago:
Factorio and rimworld have kept me entertained several thousand houers each. Hands down the best value for money on steam. Even beat out free to play games ;)

- Comment on Windows Updated and is Pushing More Stuff 1 year ago:
I have never needed to reinstall Debian. if sources.list say stable, you’d upgrade automatically. but normally the sources specify the release name “bullseye” and you would change that to bookworm when you want to upgrade.
I installed Debian potato right after 2000 sometime. Because i was so annoyed by running into rpm hell with early redhat releases whatever and having to reinstall all the time. and I apt upgraded to Debian woody, and following the release notes, everything worked. At the time that was wild to see. Have been running Debian on all the servers i touch at work since. The Release notes contain information about what is changed from a regular installation. So you can follow the new defaults if you so want.
I DD’d the installation to a larger harddrive, before upgrading to sarge. and by then it had become a bit of a sport, while not being necessary in any way I have kept on upgrading, and moving my daily driver over to new machines for fun.If you want a rolling release, you can run Debian testing, if you want stability you can depend on, run Debian stable. testing will stick a bit before release, and then have a period of rapid changes after release, but for a not critical desktop, it is generally very nice.
if you want to keep your system healthy tru the decades make sure you read the issues to be aware of in chapter 5 of the release notes for each new release : www.debian.org/releases/stable/…/release-notes/ they contain vital changes you may want to do to keep your system more similar to a freshly installed one.

Debian have been fucking awesome since i installed it 23 years ago! It was leaps and bounds better then it’s contemporaries.
