“I be working” sounds better though. :p

RIP bloodninja.

I’m with you on the no real names, no nudes. “Don’t dox yourself” was the norm pre-Myspace. Facebook made it almost fashionable to do so.

I’m fine with shorthand and colloquialisms, especially in the era of the smartphone and their lack of physical keyboards.

RMS has officially lost his shit.

MobileCoin, it’s been around for at least 5 years. https://support.signal.org/hc/en-us/articles/360057625692-In-app-Payments

Threema.

Neutron music player.

FairEmail.

I used to see it in the States maybe 15 years ago but I also saw it in the UK (Liverpool) about a decade ago.

That is not a normal interaction anywhere that I’ve been in the States and not in Chicago. Despite what the press says Chicago is a very beautiful and relatively safe city. The people tend to be civil.

Great question OP.

My favorite games ever are Advance Wars and Advance Wars 2 for the GBA. They are turn based strategy games so you can easily pick up, save, restore and play as needed. The entire series is great in my experience, up to the DS iterations.

Fedora.

Opensuse Tumbleweed.

It’s definitely more frustrating. I’ve had a similar experience trying to help people with their Windows PCs. Thankfully I’ve managed to convince a few to switch to Linux Mint.

No systemd on my void or gentoo builds either.

Lol.

I always hated the GC controller.

Threema still works.

Void is far from torture. It is just as easy to set up as Arch, if not more so.

Arch is too easy to set up nowadays for it to be a “thing”.

Maybe 15 years ago when the process was slightly more complicated but even then it’s always been paint by numbers.

Even Gentoo isn’t that difficult, just time consuming.

You are not the judge as to what is or what is not a “real argument”.

An appmay boot up in 5 seconds but android devices and iOS do not. I go from power off to gaming in 5 seconds.

But look who is talking about ignoring previously made points… I repeat, I like to keep my phone off when at my leisure and I prefer not the drain the battery for frivolous activities, especially when traveling.

It plays the systems that I want, hence why I purchased it. You are under no obligation to do so. I’m still not sure why this device and others like it have you so agitated.

Only kids? I know some very shallow grown folks with kids of their own.
