That’s the other issue. It’s impractical to always use Arch.

My main use case for pirated games is steam deck or a Bazzite based machine. Trying to get dwarfs on these systems is a pain I’m not willing to struggle through. Not when I can load up a fitgirl repack in a Bottle and have it installed 5 minutes later.

Even on my workstation, which is arch, I can get another repack going easily without needing to install dwarfs from the aur.

JC’s repacks might be good, but they’re a hassle that requires a new workflow to setup.

I’ve never had one single game working from JC.

On the other hand, almost any fitgirl or dodi release works just fine, or at least as well as I’d expect from the steam release.

The best for me is Flink, Blades of Vengeance, James Pond 3.

What are the chances Dutton loses his seat

Yes. I lived out a life, got married and everything. When I did wake up I just started crying like everything I had ever known just disappeared.

Looked at this thread to see if anyone mentioned anything like that.

I’ve been unemployed since November. It was a time that should have been really happy, and it was for a while, but mostly it’s been the exact kind of stress described by Sunil here.

I start a new job tomorrow morning, it’s only a few months contract, but it’s something.

In the end, Tacos was the only thing I liked using Quorn for, I think because even with beef mince tacos I would spice it with so much cumin and paprika.

But it was really good for tacos.

When I used it for bolognese, just awful.

Just putting an opinion out there, I don’t know how widely liked it is. Quorn was not a good alternative (I say this purely based on personal taste).

Started eating it in 2010, but haven’t touched it since 2019 with all the other alternatives that you can easily get now.

Coles branded seitan was really our favourite but they discontinued it.

Anyway, the amount of stuff I always had to add to Quorn to make it taste alright… what a time.

But yeah, I’m a meat eating guy and my partner is vegetarian, but for a while now I’ve been mixing it up with fake meats to try and eat less red meat.

One of my favourite songs of all time.

The albums Supporting Caste and Failed States blew this one away, but the song itself is at least top 3 Propagandhi.

Yes, with Mandriva. I had just switched from 98 to Xp and was like “No, no, no, this sucks!”.

Mandriva looked so nice in comparison. But no internet, it just wouldn’t connect and I didn’t know how to troubleshoot it.

Local shows. I used to go to 3 or 4 a week.

I stopped doing that around 2017 because I was getting too tired. More like two or three a month.

None anymore though. I have kids now and I moved away, there’s no venues out here.

By “concerts” do you mean a big production in a stadium or theatre/hall with seating and tickets are $80/person, that kind of thing? I’ve never been to one.

The people in the fuckcars community probably. They talk like this all the time.

I’ll never understand this sentiment that we’re all supposed to move into the same neighbourhood that we work, or walk over 70km to get to our workplace?

Appimage. I oily use a few of them, and manage them with GearLever.

With how reliable and useless AI is, it would probably just rename the file with .png on the end.

When people think retro, it’s almost always 8/16/32 bit emulation. You could maths share the focus around by putting just as much focus in retro computer piracy.

Dos, win9x, Amiga, c64. Of course, you need contributors that can provide content to that effect.

I recently showed someone how to quickly get an older PC Lego racing game working on Linux. They tried and had trouble, I spent about 15 minutes from finding an iso to in-game and racing. So the content must be out there from someone?

I think you’ll find nearly every significant FOSS project will have American contributors software in its development. Typically, anyone who can code and wants to contribute can do so.

What are you talking about being downvoted for that. Ubuntu is not well-liked and switching it out is a common suggestion.

Mint didn’t really see any sort of popularity until around 2010 as I remember.

I’m aware it’s initial release was earlier (surprised it was exist in 06!), but the reality of those times is that Ubuntu was still building itself up let alone Mint getting traction yet.

I didn’t know these two girls because they were a few years older, but I knew other kids who did know them. Wasn’t good.

We’d grab our bikes and ride across town. If they saw our bikes were gone they knew we’d be back later.

After the abduction and murder of two local girls, this wasn’t so accepted anymore. Kids were still out and about, but you’d get grilled about where you go, who you’re with, where are you coming home. You were supposed to be at someone’s house, mum would call and make sure that’s where you were. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bega_schoolgirl_murders

I don’t see any kids out around town anymore now though. Just the ones that walk from the bus stop to their house after school. That might just say more about todays youth culture though.
