I never thought anyone needing an editor would use such devices for it. But OK, that makes total sense for those.

It (well, vi, which vim is a clone of) has been designed to be a possible interface on a keyboard that doesn’t have arrow keys or other modifier keys than shift.
That sounds great and all, but in the last 40yrs I have not owned (or seen…) A keyboard like that.
For whom the heck was this useful? 😁
Not mocking, I do use vim or nano, but also never got why it had to be so incredibly unintuitive.

Well, you obviously speak for the USA.
And despite things like thermal cutoffs or automatic shutoffs, things were pretty safe here (Germany) in the 60-90s.
Also, there is a difference between general advancements in safety regulations and putting tons of unnecessary features in a device that will break soon. No Tesla of today will probably still be going in 50yrs or after 500.000km.
The higher the complexity, the higher the chance of failure.
And on top of it, there was no “planned obsolescence” or even suicides switches built in. Bad for capitalism, good for people.

Not quite. The lesser the complexity, the longer the life. Even if both use the same cheap hardware to begin with.
More systems => more areas where it could fail and eventually will.
And don’t forget planned obsolescence. That was no thing back in the days.

No thanks. I prefer aaaallll the money and time to wifey and myself. We enjoy our hobbies, travel the world, do what we want the whole day long, every day. That’s freedom.
Why would we want kids? And even if, we weren’t rich enough to put kids into this dumpster-fire…

If you use the browser not the client, There’s and add-on (steam something) that does show those things. Very helpful

Easy solution: fuck denuvo. Fuck the games that use it. And also fuck windows.

Oh so I might give it a shot. Would never buy their stuff though. Then again, I should rather use gimp.

Honestly I recently only used some portable warezed one. CC6 or 2024 or whatever they call their shit now. I lost interest when they switched to that cloud-nonsense.
Which is sad because I was there when they introduced Photoshop and i loved it.
Newer than 2024 will probably just be worse. I'd bet they put a lot of effort in their DRM which naturally breaks things

I was even just thinking of the consumers. But sure, corpo does not give a flying fuck :-)

I’m close to being 100% us-free. If everyone else was too, they’d be begging for breadcrumbs instead of owning us in their ecosystem of total dominance.

That was my biggest gaming-fear when switching. Turned out, it all just works too. So far at least. Wow, satisfactory, core keeper, subnautica and some others.
Even cheatengine and the modmanagers all worked fine.
The only thing I’ve found not working so far is destiny2. But they can go fuck themselves anyway.

Unless she's a pro, why does she even care?
My wifey would just want her browser, mails and is already using libreoffice.
Browser looks the same as win, so could the whole OS if one prefers.
But yeah sure, wouldn't force her to any OS either,I'm not suicidal 😁

Probably rather the latter 😁
But yes, sure. Valid point. Nice devices but too locked

True true. Can't hurt to have. I went through great hassles to set up Linux besides my old win install and also made a VM out of it for those "I don't wanna boot again"-moments.
Turns out, I never actually needed either. And I was surely deep into win and half of my tools were self made and now obsolete. Everything just works and works better, more comfy and even faster.

Not played genshin yet, but you might like where winds meet? Incredibly beautiful, good combat, exploring is rewarding. And totally free.
And runs wonderfully on Linux, even with HDR.
Dunno about current adobes, but don't they also run fine via wine? Have only one single tool so far that makes a bit trouble (mediamonkey).

I wouldn’t say “great”. But great in comparison to 11 😁
But who needs 6 years of transition? The run-of-the-mill-user with office and Firefox could just switch and not even notice it. Despite libreoffice loading much quicker.

Exactly. It just delays the inevitable (maybe even sooner if something denies to run on "this old unsupported version").
As an old win-lover I never thought I'd say this:
Better switch to Linux, most of everything windows still works, everything else is just better and faster.

And what does that accomplish? Delaying the actual problem to 2032?

Makes sense to me, but wifey would probably roll her eyes hard to this male ignorance 😁

But in those places you saw long skirts or dresses, everything but mini-skirts (I just assumed that) is probably fine too.

I wondered that too. I don't even think I saw a female banker in anything BUT a skirt.
And even if male...who cares. Skirts rock!
Fuck the rigid jobworld

Many murderer, eerrrrr…soldiers, are obviously against your opinion, but without the balls to say so.
And yes, if no nation would find people willing to die for money, errrr freedom’n’stuff, the billionaires would have to fight each other themselves, and then wouldn’t.
But there will always be clueless people, indoctrinated by enough bullshit to do so. Probably especially in the USA where the observationally challenged are legion and even wear red hats.

Not living in some medieval shit hole that does infant gentile mutilation for cult-reasons.
Whoever does this to their child is a disgusting being in my view. Also dumb and uneducated as fuck.

Too bad they’re sold out, I would so get one for at home.
Unless it’s cloudbound. I would want an open sourced or locally controlled.

Non USA here, so no best buy. Got a google-tv now with basically nothing on it, heavy firewalling that device off and using only jellyfin. I hate it but…

Really sad. We could even save a good portion of bucks due to all the shit noone needs. I can only imagine the crap pre-installed on Samsung TVs or other of those horrible bloat-brands.

I’d actually prefer a dumb TV, we only use jellyfin anyway and that could be served by some raspy or similar. But they’re extinct it seems. At least modern ones with 4 or 8k.
I hate this dumbing down of everything.

I have a simple rule for that: I don’t deal with cultists (or religious people if you prefer the pampering words) at all. Back when I was dating , this was amongst my first inquiries and KO-criteria.
(No problem with faith, just cults/religions).
