I’d like to think there’s a difference between “keeping up with the times” and chasing whatever new thing gets advertised.

Unless you’re really into number chasing with benchmarks then just keep using whatever you like until something YOU find better comes along.

Also I’m GenZ and just use whatever comes with the DE, it’s not an old person thing shakes fist.

Not all the time, some mod creators lock their stuff behind a paywall. But also a few modders a while back started taking down their own mods official downloads so it was up to others to keep archives.

That’s what a lot of people were using the ModPiracy subreddit for but it kept being taken down and migrating to new subs.

Awesome! thanks, I’m sorta living under a rock these days when it goes to video game news.

As someone who doesn’t follow the Halo series, what is this? an older canned game or some new unreleased thing?

TempleOS is the only OS corpos won’t touch, It’s protected by a holy shield!

My personal experience has been hit n miss.

Was using one 4TB Seagate for 11 years then bought a newer model to replace it since I thought it was gonna die any day. That new one died within 6 months. The old one still works although I don’t use it for for anything important now.

The average person thinks digital = magic! and marketers/governments, etc are well aware of that, and will abuse that fact anytime they can.

Ever had to explain to someone that “the cloud” isn’t a physical cloud in the sky keeping their passwords & nudes safe? I have way too many times.

Somehow missed your reply until now.

They dropped support on the Linux version forever ago and moved to Easy Anticheat which DOES support being used through Proton but the devs won’t enable it.

For me that game was Rust and it was more ‘Maybe for the best if I don’t touch that game again’

14yo me spent all day waiting for extended cut of the original Dawn of the Dead to download only to find out at 2am it was an Italian dub.

At least my experience on KDE the system theme option barely seems to work for GTK programs.

Even tho I specifically went out of my way to get a dark GTK theme in the system settings.

I play and mod a lot of older games most of which aren’t on Steam, so getting some of them running takes a bit more manual effort especially if they require a 3rd party patch to run on modern hardware.

Normally it’s pretty simple like declaring some extra DLL files, But sometimes I’m jumping through hoops trying to get some old installer than hasn’t been updated since 2009 to run…

I’ve had more success than failures though, Wine is pretty amazing imo.

Modern meaning a GTK app?

The only other DAW I’ve used before Ardour was Reaper and I got my head around Ardours Ui a lot quicker on my first go.

Trying to mount an iso image in the terminal and accidentally un-mounting your root drive.

Totally didn’t do that before…nope not even once, definitely not twice >.>

I dunno if the Hub software works but I do have a Seagate OneTouch portable 4TB drive and it worked without issues on Linux after reformatting like I would any other drive.

Not only that but the physical phones themselves are dumping features while charging the same or often increased prices…

My current phones literally being held together with tape but wanting a current phone with an SD card and headphone jack has seriously limited my options.

I’m sure they probably could but they don’t really have the incentive to add support for them.

I’m an older GenZ born in the late 90s and I’ve had to show a few younger peers how to torrent recently.

The idea of you needing a “special” program just for downloading a file seems to throw some of them off.

I do know a few young people are tech/programming wizards but “generally tech savy” people seem to be declining. It’s either you’re really into it or barely know anything outside popular apps.

One other thing I’ve noticed, People just seem to be more paranoid about downloading stuff not already installed on their devices. Which its good people give at least a bit of a shit about security but convincing people Firefox isn’t a virus gets a bit annoying (Yes I’ve had that conversation).

Yeah I wasn’t expecting to make most of the money back, But if I can get a bit then it’s still money towards something I will use.

Selling it to try make some money back.

I built this PC before I even thought about switching to Linux.
