The only problem I've had so far on Linux was due to my RAM breaking. Same shit could've happened on Windows. As much as everyone talks about needing "manual intervention" in Arch, I had to do the same shit on Windows after a bad update pushed unsigned USB drivers (which I was unaware of, I only saw the blue screen) then once I did a system restore it just failed after wiping my hard drive despite only using tools from Windows itself. I ended up having to get a third party tool to fix it all, because the vhdx files Windows made assumed my computer was UEFI despite only supporting BIOS. It was a mess.

The moral of the story is: Windows still has these problems, people are just more used to solving them so it doesn't feel like they're solving a problem.

They've both said it's better to be alone than with a terrible person and that they don't have a choice to be with anyone, so I don't think they're really thinking this stuff through.

Lemmit already existed and was annoying as hell. It was the first account I remember blocking.

Never played Bully so I can say this without you thinking it shaped my world view: Just admit you're wrong.

Bully (released in the PAL region as Canis Canem Edit; Latin for "dog eat dog")[1] is a 2006 action-adventure video game developed by Rockstar Vancouver and published by Rockstar Games. Set in the fictional town of Bullworth, the single-player story follows juvenile delinquent student Jimmy Hopkins, who is involuntarily enrolled at Bullworth Academy boarding school for a year, and puts his efforts to rise through the ranks of the school system to stop bullying.

For an extra 0 on the price I hope so lol. I've been happy with it!

Oh nice. I see it for ~$80 on their site, but still, that's cool. Never heard of it. I ended up getting a Xiegu G90 for HF. I'm curious how well the RT-880 works for HF. Gonna see if there are any reviews of it. I would've loved to know about it last year lol.

There's no restriction to purchase this stuff, so licensing will only stop accidents, not intentional bad actors. Even Baofengs can be put into a "ham mode" so they don't transmit out of band. I don't think we'd see it happen, but a license class under technician targeted at getting people legally able to use lower power handhelds super quickly would be nice. Even the technician question bank has questions about things that ultimately don't really matter for making sure people operate in band as they should. The metaphor I give folks is like if your driver's license test asked you questions about how to build engines. (And part of the reason we won't ever see that is because amateur radio licenses allow you to construct and use your own equipment, as opposed to things like FRS where the part itself has to be certified.)

I get you, it's pretty easy, but I'm just saying trying to get somebody into a hobby, and then saying "actually you can't talk to people until you schedule a test" is a huge barrier.

Big Picture mode in Steam is wonky as fuck for me

Edit: Not sure why this is so controversial. It's always been weirdly laggy, even in my old computer and at other people's houses. To be fair, I haven't tried Heroic, but I was never saying Steam was better/worse
