My favorite system message is GRUB’s “bailing out, you’re on your own. Good luck”

I think it sets a horrible precedent. We’ll never be able to get people into politics if we start holding them accountable for their crimes!

Because people in power need excuses to hit people they don’t like without having to pay weregild for it. That’s it, that’s the entire purpose of laws. The whole “protecting society” theory is a convenient smokescreen that we’ve all bought into through generations upon generations of Stockholm syndrome and the fact that we all also want to hit people and be justified in doing so from time to time.

I have a lower-mid tier (Ryzen7 2700 or 2700x, I don’t exactly remember right now, Nvidia GTX 1650, 16gigs of RAM,) and I can game just fine at 1080p. Granted I’m not exactly worried about 4K or 666 FPS or whatever the hardcore gamers are into these days, but most games work well with proton and steam. Some even run better through proton than they do in Windows natively.

That’s right up there with my mom telling me “get a job and you won’t have time or energy to be depressed” when I told her I was depressed and wanted to see a counselor as a teen.

I only separate out /home, /boot, and I usually have a separate /steam partition because I have a separate terabyte drive just for games.

What do you mean, “your own country with no fireworks?” Listen, buddy, the whole world celebrates the Fourth of July, when Jesus descended from Heaven to bring freedom l the idea of Freedom and the Constitution to our founding fathers!

The original Deus Ex. The storyline, the way the game world reacted to your actions and made it feel like your actions were relevant to the world around you instead of just being a static place where stuff happened to you…
