Of course, I am not asserting any superiority. I am just a buy one-play one, indie-loving guy.

What mostly stops me from buying titles I don’t play directly is going through the list of all the other things I may need/want to buy with the same money.

Regarding the most, category/publisher sales are back-to-back in between the seasonal ones, so yes, I think they are most of them.

I will save your nick in a list.

To me, it is. Just shy to share something definitely only half-done, when it is my first ever programming project.

I am trying to give it a publicly acceptable form in Streamlit before sharing it. Bare with me, it is my first ever programming endeavour and I remained without a mentor half-way into it.

On Steam there are category sales much more often (right now TPS Fest).

I buy at historical lows via Isthereanydeal any time of the year anyway.

And just like weight and fashion changes for shirts, I may change my schedule and interests not to fit games I bought years ago.

I have only 200something titles across my GOG and Steam libraries and I have played all of them and finished 90% at least.

I may be from another generation (I am in my 40s), but I don’t get the point of spending money on a title I don’t know if I will have ever time or interest to play.

Also, this feeds stale mechanics, since most titles are bought in bulk during sales that are usually centered around game categories.

I built a small python app to use howlongtobeat, steam data and isthereanydeal to select the best next title for me to play in terms of price per hour and (steamdb-style) rating.

These days I am looking at their video on their channel on Rumble while working. I think they are achieving financial and political pressure in the most wholesome way possible.

That said, I don’t think I am going to click on anything else on Rumble, as it is all Tucker Calson, bitcoin and other shit like that. I don’t see any future in it; it has achieved Dailymotion status in no time.

I really understand this is a reality, especially in the US, and that this is really happening, but is there really no one, even around the world, who is taking advantage of laid-off skilled workforce?

Are they really all going to end up as pizza riders or worse, or are there companies making a long-term investment in workforce that could prove useful for different uses in the short AND long term?

I am quite sure that’s what Novo Nordisk is doing with their hire push here in Denmark, as long as the money lasts, but I would be surprised no one is doing it in the US itself.

Does Spotify really have “fans”? Or maybe just users? And what user spends time “threatening” piracy, if they know how to do it?

Also, I realized only last month that my younger brother doesn’t know how to use torrents. Shame on me for having left home too early!

Asking the others, since I don’t think you are up for a conversation with me: is it a wild guess to imagine that the high chance to receive this kind of comments is the reason why Linux doesn’t have a wider penetration on the consumer market?

I know the alternative of a call center slave from India for Microsoft is not exactly the most appealing, but anything is better than this, in my opinion.

I am in since a few months, as stated in one of the comments, and it is already the 4th or 5th time I get someone responding in this way.

Thanks for the suggestion.

I just tried following the tutorial and… it only made me more proficient at using Timeshift.

To be exact, it prompted me to create a xorg.conf file, which apparently is not in my system. I accepted and it brought me to a black screen with a black screen that remained there for 5 minutes. I force rebooted the machine and it failed to launch lightdm.service.

So USB, Timeshift and back we are.

I am afraid I am not at your level yet. Been stable on Linux since only a few months.

Thanks again though, at least I know it exists.

That should be fine since I am planning to put it in its own partition and maybe disk, isolated from my main driver that would be Vanilla Mint, no?

Isn’t Bazzite based on Fedora?

Reading all the comments, I think I will do that since I want to stay on the same experience. Then maybe I will have another drive in the future to test Bazzite or CachyOs on.

And that’s why if you open the command line in Windows 11 you will read:

10.0.26200.5742

Et voilà!

That’s when we come onto the scene.

I am continuously “translating” news and opinions from here on LinkedIn. Already got banned from a professional Slack that contains most people in my industry for saying in a private conversation that I like watermelon.

Not gonna stop. People are not politically inclined because we kept our knowledge to ourselves for too long.

I must say that, as a European using a Firefox fork for my daily browsing while waiting for Ladybird, I don’t see that outcome as completely negative: Google, somehow, in America has kept a completely unjustified good vibes feeling surrounding itself, while Thiel is much more evil in the public eye.

If Chrome is associated with him in anyway it can become a more lucid image of itself.
