Memes don't have to be jokes

He got reused in the mid 2010s as a very racist meme where people would make him sing some truly heinous shit, actually

Defunctland (I think) did a video on Mac Tonight that mentions it in passing, if you're curious open a private browsing window and look it up, you can likely find the memes still

Cookies and fingerprinting, yes

I wouldn't imagine many employers would be too sympathetic to your arguments.

Duh, they're butthurt they fucked up, but also who cares if they're sympathetic?

If your employee can go months doing nothing then you're a shite boss who's even worse than that employee, frankly

Not them but 9 months into Mint and I've had 0 issues with any games or programs that don't just not work on Linux (fucking anticheat)

Simple, supported, Community that isn't entirely filled with elitists telling you to use the CLI, good comfortable starting spot

Its hard because stop using adobe as graphic designe

Premiere Pro, Photoshop, and After Effects all worked when I tried them on Linux Mint 22 to see if they worked

Older versions from before the CC updates for those programs that you can use them for also work and work quite well, though I do understand that there are literally missing features for professional work in some of those older versions

A real Linux alternative (or proper fucking Support but fuck adobe) would be GREAT, but the change likely won't be as bad as you might be worrying

So far the hardest thing I've had to install was called YAD, and that was so I could install Morrowind mods specifically, a rather niche need all things considered, and I've made multiple audiovisual projects on my Linux workstation without having to do anything like that

I do keep a Win10 LTSC on a side boot drive for games with anticheat and any programs I might need there but so far that's literally only been handbrake, which I'm sure there's a Linux version/alternative for but I just haven't had to use it on that OS yet due to work flow

Or machine virtualization, VirtualBox and similar programs are piss easy to learn to use and most machines today should have 0 issue emulating older windows and an old game in a VM

Any issues you might have are going to be hardware related, like really old games not playing nice on no original hardware, but if you've got one of those then just install the last version of the OS and isolate that original hardware machine from any networking and it's completely safe to use as a game console

For games that could run on Win7 and 8? Not really

[–] gamermanh@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It's surreal reading comments pining for win7

Oh no they've been in a coma since 2012!

I jest, but seriously I was in HS personally while whinging about 8 and wanting 7 back after my laptop auto updated on me like a jackass. Its actually the event that lead to me learning IT!

it was never supposed to be a ground braking game just a way to monotize their testing while giving the hungry fans something to play with while they wait.

Can't re-write history just to cope, buddy

would you reather a buggy unplayable mess now or a fully flashed out game a year or two later

Right now we don't get either so that's a weird 2 options to pick

US government will let you adopt a horse or mule per year for super cheap as long as you can care for them and can pick them up

My wife and I are considering a mule for tasks around our acre and it's less than getting most other animals

All I did was point out that no, the Steam Deck isn't the best deal for everyone

By saying something objectively silly, which was my point

Chill

Can't get any more chill than right now BBY

if you're trying to sell me the Steam Deck as a Playstation 5 Pro replacement I'd expect visual parity with at least the regular PS5, at comparable framerates

Pretty silly thing to expect given they're entirely different devices

It isn't a replacement for a stationary console or PC

Just wrong: it plays the same games and literally is a replacement for a PC if you want to go that route. Its not a top-of-the line monster powerhouse, but that's never what it claimed to be

And I wasn't going to go there but ease of use is also a major point in favour of the Playstation because you won't have to deal with "getting around" things, ever.

Lol Sonys User experience on PS5 is painful compared to using the Steam Deck for 95% of what you do, the other 5% breaks them even at best, if not leaving Sony in the dust of their pathetic design and walled-gardening

Different people have different use cases which are best served by different devices.

No shit? Doesn't change the fact that you're objectively wrong about the steam deck though
