Before I got my steam deck, I was playing on a 2400g htpc. I’m sure this will be fine.

Probably kiss. My first kiss was perfect and it feels like I’ve never felt a kiss like that again.

Maybe the US does, but I don’t live there.

The existing dishwasher is built into the cabinetry. As I’m neither plumber nor cabinetmaker, I’m not going to do this on my own.

The house we bought a few years ago had a dishwasher. It doesn’t work.

We’d like to replace it but we asked the shop guys if they can help with that they told us they don’t have any local contacts who do dishwasher installs.

We’ve never used one before, but with two little kids it feels like hand washing is getting a bit much sometimes.

The Fest

When we got our first computer it was a Win 95 machine, with a copy of Encarta, Atlas. I don’t remember what word processor, but it wasn’t a full office suite.

It was cool. We did lots of typing and using ms paint.

Then we got a shareware cd. Hundreds of pretty useless games + 4 or 5 big ones like doom and transport tycoon, but it changed everything. Every day we’d try a new one. We’d mess around in DOS trying to get those ones working.

Then 3D Movie Maker - the full version. It all really started to come alive.

Then a microphone. Just messing around with sound recorder was like when we used to make “funny” tape recordings of ourselves, but without the hassle of tape.

These are the basic concepts of what I think made computers fun.

I guess the direction I’ll probably go shortly is the old AMD 2400g mini itx I have laying around. Put on an opensuse slowroll. We have a microphone handy. We have 900 games on our GOG account. I have an old intuos drawing tablet that might work. Add some of those education flatpaks - solariums and stuff. I think you can definitely do a modern version of what we had back in the 90s when computing was more than watching youtube.

No they weren’t. Infectious diseases resulted in life expectancies 40-50 years lower than now. Dying at 35 years old is not “perfectly fine”.

The movies depict actual AI. That is, machines/software that is sentient and can think and act for itself.

The future is going to be more of the shit we have now- LLMs / “guessing software”.

But also, why ask the question if you think the answer can’t be given yet?

As much as I love collecting books, I’ve decided now my shelf is so full, my next reading purchase will be a kobo instead.

Records and books mostly. But I just moved my CDs out of my storage space.

Click on the game in your library. On the game page click the three dots menu in the top right. Click Browse Files.

Hell yes. And every time I see it pop up, these points come up, usually a bunch of times. So people know this shit is trouble, and it’s still blowing up.

I assume it’s just that his channel mostly seems like advertisement for products. I like him enough, but I know what I’m getting if I watch one of his videos.

Your response to someone who doesn’t understand boundaries (have you set those boundaries with them or just expect them to know?) is to be a jerkoff? Laughing at yourself isn’t your biggest worry here. Re-visit this whole thing from the start.

And…

Learn the car you’re driving. There’s so many different makes, models, sizes, engines, brakes, transmission, tires. Just because you can do something in one car don’t mean you can drive another car the same way.

Like no longer thinking Bio Dome is comedy genius

The IT Crowd is a show about a group of fools getting into ridiculous situations at work. It’s a good laugh and has some classic moments. My partner doesn’t make or get tv/movie references, but even she can drop references from it into casual conversation.

Big Bang Theory is a bland comedy that wants to be much more than it is - relationship drama, social exploratory, situational comedy. But it tends to fail 90% of the time, and the closer it gets to ‘relationship drama’ the more grating it gets.

I’ve been using smb protocol for years. NFS is great when it works, but something about my network makes it unreliable or inconsistent between devices.

Smb has never caused me any problems.

“With the instant availability of information, and content so easily obtainable, is the culture now a product that’s disposable?“

This quote goes back to 2007. 18 years later it’s not even a question anymore, music and the culture around it has become disposable.

There’s always going to be great bands and artists who have something to say! I’ve heard some of my favourite bands just in the last 10 years. But society is never going to look at music the same, it’s just something people tap on their screen and give a quick listen, or worse; just watching some idiotic lip sync to a 20 second excerpt of it on tik tok.
