Y’all yunggins should also learn to use hex code translators:

Just look at some of the comments.
A lot are still “the OS is great you’re the issue” (nvm that clean installs sometimes have these issues) or “git gud scrub” or “just post some error logs” even though that gets a reply maybe half the time (which gets again into expecting something the average person wouldn’t know how to do btw, which is a problem if you want better adoption) or “but Windoze does has problems111!”.
The reality is that Linux still can’t be stably used for a lot of standard things: new(and newish) hardware, printing, lack of good UI design in many programs, and to a degree gaming (it’s been massively improved there though thanks to Proton).
Yeah, Windows has problems. But those arise more typically for advanced users (and that’s including Windows 11 being more and more broken over time).
If you just want to browse the internet and use some office apps, with no dual booting, it’ll just work. That’s the reality of it, and it makes sense considering it’s supported by a multi billion dollar company.
I know Linux for desktop has come a long way (I remember the Slackware days). But until the more boring stuff gets worked out, it’ll still be hard for it to be used more commonly, and thus harder for it to get more funding and usage as well. That’s why I think Linux is stuck in the 4% rut - sure it looks pretty now, but there’s still a lot of under the hood tinkering required to just do basic things on standard hardware.
Despite the venting it’s still a great thing it exists and I love Linux. But I think that’s what makes me wish it could work better in some cases.
Idk, maybe it’s just Debian based distros these days and I’m behind in the curve. Fedora based ones like Bazzite haven’t given me issues so far at least.
I’ll figure it out eventually.
Just wanted to vent, but it’s also frustrating because I really do wish Linux could be more widely adopted. But the tech heads here show why it won’t be any time soon, even with Microsoft making a nightmare OS in terms of privacy.
Well at least someone here got the point
Considering the type of game it is, they should go buy to play and then release expansions later on instead.
Is there a way to read this storyline in chronological order from the start? Like Patreon or such? Tried the website to buy well there’s the bot problem preventing it from loading, and the Tumblr I didn’t figure out the order.
Then again maybe reading a comic in backwards order could be interesting too
There’s like a thousand Linux distros. Having one be ready and easy to use, no hassle or deeper knowledge needed, won’t stop the great many others that exist without bumper rails. Arch and Nix etc will still keep existing, so you can chill out, edgelord.
Instead of a tech solution, why not a legal one? Place somewhere in the website that refusal to follow your robots.txt is agreement to pay you x amount of money for your content. Then combine that with the dummy page solution the other person brought up so you can record the IP address, then take them to court so they pay you. Has potential to bring you a really really nice chunk of money.
Wait, you know how to code for a 3D game? I know game design! We would just need to find the artist at that point, and I can help with fundraising
Read the other comments. During that time, there was a good chance that canned chicken included human fingers, rat shit, rotten chicken, and/or rats and roaches.
She might not have known about it, but his hyperbolic overreaction isn’t towards not getting fresh chicken, it’s towards paying for fresh chicken and being served possibly literal shit stew.
Processed meat back then was is a really bad state.
Also the cold. In my parents Spanish (Central America), we still use “gripe” to refer to any disease with flu like symptoms.
This is a good right to mention Obtanium, which is an app that basically streamlines that
But the reason the drow are evil is primarily because of the Spider god Lolth, not because they’re Drow. Drow free from Lolth aren’t necessarily evil.
What do you mean? Chanterelles taste great
BECAUSE pictures weren’t common, it was hard to start a new life. If you were an adult and knew no one in the town you arrived at, no one would trust you, give you a job or rent out a room to you. Cause they’d all assume there was a good reason you ran away from the place where people knew you, and there was no way to verify if you were who you claimed to be.
Ummm, people moved all the time. There wouldn’t be a reason to assume you were running from something. Have you never read a history book? You could even just be moving to a smaller town in the country side for “fresher air” to help your tuberculosis.
If you had a profession, you needed a letter of recommendation from your former employer or your guild to vouch for you.
Depends on the job, how much starting money you had, and where you’re moving too. You could for example say you’re moving to set up a chemist shop, especially in the smaller or more remote towns.
Yeah but back then pictures weren’t common and you could just grow a beard, decide your name is now Thames Twice, and move to another town really fast away while still letting your title as chemist, since document verification was really hard to do unless it was for some bigwig (and even then you could sometimes get in). If you really want to sell the act he could learn an exotic foreign language like Swedish and say he studied in Sweden too, but had English parents and that’s why he spoke English so fluently. Most of proving why you are cage by showing you could do the skills you claimed you had.
That’s why charlatans could live a life of scamming.

This is nice to know. Cinny looks beautiful from a UX perspective, wish they made an app too. Not enough good UX in open source stuff.
I like the idea and gameplay, but man am I tired of that color palette
I thought it was a lead joke but this apple sauce doesn’t have “cinnamon”
