Just saw him on tour last week and it was great.

I run Linux on my regular systems with an occasional dabble in reaper on it.

On the flip side, I run ableton on Mac for a couple of touring projects and could never move off of it.

Reaper is a fantastic tool, I’ve had a license for years and really respect what they’re doing. But if you’re doing anything besides home production for fun, it’s just not there yet.

After spending the past 2 hours trying to get Banishers running on Linux, I’ll say no if that is something that interests you. What a shit show.

Maybe prioritize learning to read over procreation. There will be plenty of kids available when you’re ready.

It will parallel the push to Windows365 in the enterprise space. Thinking in terms of hardware only misses the internal goal at Microsoft of locking everyone in to Azure hosted services where they have unlimited access to your data for CoPilot training.

THAT is their strategy. TPM requirements, kernel locking and secure boot are baby steps to the end goal. It’s not about Xbox, it’s about training data for their GenAI platforms.

Additionally, their Prism Emulation Engine is running Xbox games natively on ARM hardware as of a few days ago (insider preview users at least)

I believe the exact verse is:

“And that’s the bottom line because Stone Cold said so.”

Swype Gang for life. I remember being so stoked to get in the beta.

Smartphones used to be cool.

If this is a mashup of Dream Daddy and Red Dawn, I’m in.

That’s more things you’d want to start putting on a 4th birthday registry.

Just in time for the school year… if we still have education as an option by then.

As an old dad, you have my sign off. Especially if you can get a jumper that says 1v1 me. I always appreciate a kid that will stare you down.

My kid has been wearing 2nd hand metal shirts for about 15 years. That was also the aesthetic when we made quilts for him as a baby.

I gotta imagine there’s people out there laying heavy judgment on that decision. We think it’s hilarious. Poor dude was like 13 the first time I got a call about a Cattle Decap shirt he was wearing. I guess, technically it was sacrilegious but I appreciated him self advocating and pointing out a “guns, god, country” shirt another kid had on.

Thanks for attending my ramble about judging people’s parenting fashion.

Only if you teach them to be literate.

They’ve already stated that intent last November. Everything is an Xbox

I’m not a MS fanboy (incredibly far from it) but your comment sparked a vision in my head of an immutable variant of LTSC/iot that function liked a Debian or arch base with vendors building x window interfaces on top of it i(the name is already there). interfaces that are hardware or platform specific (e.g. here’s your Ubisoft skin, here’s your Epic Skin, etc…).

If only we lived in a tech utopia instead of… whatever the fuck the mba’s have spent the last few decades shitting out.

I hate having thoughts of utopia in an orphan crushing world.

Hella gay. Let’s go do crimes about it.

Just lost a Mint install to a bad kernel update. I don’t bother to fix my OS failures anymore. I just load ventoy through refind and start over.

It’s not a common occurrence but I’m just not precious about my OS installs anymore. Keep a script around to backup anything important to a network share and let it rip.

Man, what a quandary. Guess we just continue incarcerating the mentally unwell and arming the facists. Sounds like there’s no better option. Glad that’s sorted.

A friend of mine has a relative who is doing several years in prison for shit like this. It took about 14 times of him getting caught doing variously more aggressive, stalker things towards his ex partner before he was finally incarcerated for any length of time.

Motherfuckers need to start letting shit go, and we need to start holding people accountable and providing services for their mental illnesses in the states.

I scored 12/21 on https://e-mail.wtf/ and all I got was this lousy text to share on social media.
