Trying to enforce security on a machine you don’t own is ultimately fruitless, no matter how far you go with it.

I use it for some things. It’s good for file batch processing, for example. I could probably do those things in python but I use C# and powershell at work so I know .net better.

Stripe is currently unable to support sexually explicit content due to restrictions placed on them by their banking partners

How deep does this rabbit hole go? Will the banks eventually claim they’re fine with porn but are being restricted by the illuminati or something?

Sometimes I struggle with impostor syndrome. Reading this made me feel a lot more confident that I am actually really good at my job and not just fooling everyone into thinking I am.

Hard to say without having used Arch. I just really like Portage. It does some really neat things.

And any platform that wants to allow adult content would have a viable means to secure funding. You can’t overstate how far the chilling effects of VISA et al’s anti-porn stance reaches.

What’s their stance on porn?

Looking forward to drowning in a cave >!and getting eaten by xenomorphs!< again.

Wait, Rust is a functional language and not object oriented?

Man I picked the best time to take a serious shot at daily driving desktop linux. Most of what I want just works and new stuff is always just around the corner. Just got NTsync on my preferred kernel, now wayland session restore is coming.

I still cannot believe half of you maroons voted for this. So now doge has a serious .gov DNS entry.

I mean that literally, btw. I cannot believe half of you voted for this, it’s impossible. If it turns out there really was election fraud this time I will be completely unshocked.

It’s not about killing windows… but if it were to have an accident, y’know… I’m just sayin’…

Gulikit make some good pads with hall effect sensors (and aftermarket hall effect sticks for things like the steamdeck). Dunno if they make versions with their own receiver tho.

I didn’t play much Elden Ring as it strayed too far from what I liked about the earlier Souls games, personally. Demon’s would only give you a checkpoint after killing a boss, though you could open up shortcuts instead. Dark Souls 1 had a few more checkpoints but there was none of this respawning right outside the boss door that you get in ER and some of the later series games (to make up for the overtuned boss challenge in those games).

This meant, at least on your first playthrough, you tended to be doing this slow, tense exploration of hostile areas. Because dying would not only cost you progress, but potentially your next level if you failed to retrieve your souls.

I am mostly joking, but I do remember reading somewhere that the punishing corpse run aspect combined with the lack of checkpoints was a response to how toothless death was in Bioshock and games of that era. Compare a death in Demon’s Souls to Bioshock, where you pop instantly out of the nearest vitachamber(?) with no loss, for example.

Bioshock gave us the Souls series ;)

Imagine 3rd person OTS Magicka…

I am not gonna use SteamOS. But if a bunch of regular folk do, then it might convince peripheral and game makers it’d be worth putting in a modicum of effort to support linux. That’s why I’m excited for SteamOS.

Yep. :P

Let us know how you go :)
