Laughing from a PopOS Virtual Machine (I’m getting my AMD GPU soon, I’ll switch over fully then I promise!).

Love it! It’s like macOS, Windows 7 and the edgy GAMER™️ aesthetic had a kid.

I see Unix but no porn. Ugly rice

Fucking yikes

Good bot!

Hah, get fucked OpenAI.

Yeah, I’m not enjoying their extremist bullshit. I just want some normal moderate leftist posts, you know?

It’s not meant to game anyway, so who gives a fuck?

My dad and aunt have used Zenbooks and Vivobooks for years without issue. Maybe the ROG lineup aren’t as durable?

Raggedy Andy is one of the best nicknames I’ve seen for him yet. Possibly better than Andrew Taint.

I’m in a position to seed quite well since my connection is uncapped, and I’d be happy to share some rarer finds of mine. Unfortunately the power grid where I live is unstable as shit so might not be the best choice. Up to you I suppose, OP.

Hopefully XD

You might want to explain what an OS is, since many people have no idea. I explain it like this:

“Hardware is the machine you use, like a phone or computer. Apps and games are software that run on that hardware and let you do stuff. But in order for your software to run smoothly on your hardware, another collection of software is needed to allow them to interact. Collectively this bundle of code can be called an OS or Operating System. The most common one on computers is Windows, followed by macOS, ChromeOS and Linux. Your phone runs iOS or Android (usually).

Some torrents are available for Mac, most are meant for Windows since it’s more popular and has fewer restrictions on what can be installed by users. In any case, you should always check that the app you’re downloading is going to work with your operating system.”

Better to learn at 15 than at 45.

Hopefully Microsoft will do something about it soon. In the meantime, like someone else said, don’t install shady drivers.

It’s not just games, arsehole. Anyone who needs a standardised film workflow probably uses Adobe, Autodesk and miscellaneous software that is Windows only or maybe supports Mac (usually not well).

Yes, a handful of these work on Linux, in theory, but have you ever tried installing Maya on fucking RHEL? I’m pretty sure I shortened my fucking lifespan by ten years trying to make it work.

Linux is cool, so is macOS, and so is BSD, but painting all Windows users as inherently being inferior to people using the software you use is a surefire way to make sure they never consider the other side out of fear of becoming one of the obnoxious Linux fanboys they’ve seen and rightly assumed to be a total moron.

TL;DR, yes Windows has many issues, but it’s a tool to be used when needed. Quit being a dickhead.

Just occurred to me that the app I use also shows separate counters. I fooled myself into thinking it was a single counter.

That’s interesting. Remember it’s a very new platform, minor bugs aren’t out of the ordinary.

Nope, just like Reddit it’s a value that ranges between negatives and positives. If I get two thousand upvotes, positive 2k. If I get two thousand downvotes, negative 1999 (because iirc you start with one by default).

Not exactly sure I understood what you meant by “either positive or zero”.

The system was a PS2. I think the first games I played personally would have been Ratchet and Clank or some licensed Disney shit like Peter Pan or Cars.

Negative one upvotes would mean that enough people disliked me/another poster to bring my upvote total to zero. (Upvotes and likes are effectively the same thing, it’s just a naming convention). Reddit totals them up and seemingly Lemmy does as well.
