Games are looking great this year! Earthblade by the creators of Celeste, Hades 2, Silk song (I Believe) If you ignore AAA, it’s going great!

Honestly I love that kitchen.

Thanks! Mint was my other choice, so knowing I can use that on either frees me up a little bit

Thanks a lot

As a noobie to Linux I have a question: I decided to try ubuntu (haven’t yet) because of what I think is called the Gnome Desktop Environment, which from what I understand is what gives it all of those sleek animations and tab switcher and stuff. Am I correct about this? Or do all distros have this? I care a lot about aesthetics and stuff like that—the main reason I’m interested in Linux, other than learning about something new, is the idea of being able to fully customize the look and feel

Yeah, I was being a bit purposefully ignorant that day

The only game I ever considered pre-ordering was Hogwarts legacy. I’ve always loved the world of Harry Potter, and it looked like everything I’ve ever asked for. I was going to pre-order it, but I wasn’t able to, for financial reasons. Then the game came out, and after watching a video I was like… Oh, this is boring. I learned my lesson.

Ikr? English is hard /s

Wait, people actually hire people to clean their house?

I thought that was only in movies. Have you ever heard of just… Picking up after yourself?

Ah, I understand

I think maybe I’m misunderstanding—are you saying that valuing free software is more important than valuing FOSS? FOSS is inherently free, no? Free Open Source Software. I would understand if I was talking about open source in general, but FOSS does include being free. Maybe that’s not what you meant.

Interesting to know that steam, gog, and epic (specifically) all work well for you, I’ve heard mixed results with Epic, some say it doesn’t work. Maybe I’ve gotten wrong info.

I have an older laptop, and as soon as I can upgrade to something better, I’m going to use it as a Linux practice.

I don’t run Linux (though I’m admittedly more interested in it than I used to be) but the reddit API stuff definitely made me learn more about foss, and value it more.

America has some of the most fun, interesting, intermingled culture you’ll see. That’s not to say bad things don’t happen,or that you shouldn’t try to fix those things—but there will always be something that you can choose to live your life by as an excuse to be hateful. If you’re obsessed with always being mad about something, you’ll always be mad about something, and if you’re obsessed with looking at all the negatives and ignoring the positives you’ll never be happy

I think it’s definitely true that Americans get defensive when you criticize the US. I also think it’s true that a huge reason for that, is because the only thing the internet seems to enjoy doing at the moment is complain about the US—no one likes to hear their country that they’re living happily in trashed on constantly.

And I say that as someone who deeply enjoys complaining about the US
