In one year I have had exactly zero issues with Linux. In the same time, my brother had OS-breaking bugs happen twice from driver updates with Windows… Once from the GPU, and the other from a CPU firmware update.

You don’t have to switch to Linux. That’s OK. Just realize that you are simultaneously ok with making yourself a harvestable resource that Microsoft and others are milking dry.

I would think the bigger batteries would start with DDuracell

I’ve tried setting up a BSD VM a few times but never managed to get a desktop environment working. I’m sure it was due to user error.

Hey I don’t shit on your life–dont shit on mine!

She thanked me, btw

“We have investigated ourselves and found no wrongdoing”

I had never considered this before, but you’re absolutely right

If you have any questions I’d be happy to try and answer them. My favorite part is that it isn’t subscription based. Once you own a license, it’s yours. MacOS, Linux, and windows support too. There are hundreds of modules, with fantastic support for DND 5E, Pathfinder 2.5, and then Star Wars 5e.

Foundry is a virtual tabletop I use for my DnD game I’ve been DMing for my group for the last four years. It’s only on windows right now because I also use it for streaming games from my gaming rig, and the Linux drivers for the Xbox controller Bluetooth option weren’t up to par. I’ve since gotten a Xbox wireless dongle which is supposed to work flawlessly. When I have more time I’ll probably switch it back over to Linux.

I run a node.js version of foundry as a service from it though, and everyone just accesses it through their browser window. I’m 100% with you on preferring Linux. My deadline for getting it switched back over is probably when win10 goes EOL, because it is an old enough PC that it can’t install win11 without the workarounds.

There’s another one of us! Quick! Take a picture!

I’ve only met one other person that knew who/what Dvorak was/is, and also reportedly used that keyboard layout.

I struggled with getting lost on the keyboard (several family members have dyslexia and ADHD–I’m not sure if that is related or not), and as an experiment spent 4 months exclusively using that layout to force myself to learn.

They never told me how my brain was also only big enough for a single keyboard layout. Usually in windows, games map to the same keys automagically. On Linux, not so much. I’m constantly remapping controls because I can’t be bothered to just have two keyboard layouts I swap between for games /facepalm

I think I have you beat for most vanilla.

I play games on PopOS, and host FoundryVTT on my micro PC running Windows for DnD. I also stream games from the PopOS gaming rig to the Windows PC so I can play them from the couch on the weekend.

This is a tough one for me. I’m pro-privacy, but I’m also pro-sane driving habits.

EDIT: Thanks for the replies and some constructive DMs. You brought up a lot of things I needed to consider that my lighthearted comment and thoughts behind it ignored. Privacy is and should be a fundamental right. This comes before the right to drive aggressively or defensively. Privacy should be non-negotiable.

I’m going to leave this comment up because I believe it is a teachable moment. I have reevaluated my position, and I am wrong. Thanks for the thoughtful replies.

Jes. Jabsolutely.

Great just what I need, a good wanking off to PH being punishable by death for 2.2 petabytes of wasted genetic material

EDIT: I just found out each sperm contains about ~780MB of genetic information, so my first number (1.2TB was massively off)

I’m pretty sure a YouTube channel researched this one pretty thoroughly. Try checking out the Why Files. The entire channel is fascinating, intertwining, and informative.

If you want to do away with any protection you have with opting in to a security measure, like typing in a password, why don’t you just reinstall and not select the encryption option?

Not requiring a password, or automatically entering a password to decrypt the filesystem, is essentially the same as not having encryption.

Decide which you want: Security or convenience. You cannot have both.

I trusted my government to protect my info, and now I have LifeLock for life because of several breaches on their part. If data is stored, it is virtually certain some portion of it will get leaked.

That’s an insult little dick energy

Lol

My account was four years old. There was no way I was going to do it by hand. It took PDS 8 hours to get churn through all that crap.

I had been meaning to delete my account earlier for opsec reasons, but just hadn’t gotten around to it.

I know it’s only token resistance at this point because others have found their comments from Google searches even after their accounts have been deleted, but Power Delete Suite is busy churning away on mine right now.
