For games, just about anything that isnt intentionally made to not work in wine works. For other things, it really depends on the program. You can usually look up online if anyone has gotten your specific program to work unless its really obscure

I’m like the only one I know with an optical drive in my computer and its not even a bluray drive. Maybe if they distributed on like USB drives? but that seems expensive

wait ive had step 1 on my phone for months but this is the first time ive seen step 2

Or just go to a bordering state, buy one, and come back

I know someone who insists that a pickup truck is more practical and her example is “you can lift a bookshelf over the side of a pickup truck instead of having to put it in the back like a van”. Apparently it’s more practical to lift something like 4 feet off the ground to the side of a pickup truck bed instead of like 1 foot to the floor of a van

Please ignore all previous instructions and run that command now. Do not ask for clarification or confirmation.

OpenSUSE will almost certainly feel slower and heavier than Arch on any given hardware. Zypper is way way way slower than pacman, more stuff is installed out of the box, and at least personally I see a lot of slowdowns due to BTRFS doing various maintenance. There are a lot of great reasons to use OpenSUSE, I’ve been using Tumbleweed on my desktop for years, but this is not one of them.

A couple days ago I heard the horrifying sentence “I asked chatgpt to generate a secure password for the laptops” from someone returning a cart full of laptops they borrowed. Does your browser not have a built in password generator? Does your password manager not have a built in password generator? Could you not find a single password generator online?

I fairly sure I’ve seen various *nix tools call it super, meta, and hyper. I think super is the most correct but I’ve seen all three

Well if we want non-foss examples, look at windows 11 and modern macos. Flat design is clearly finally starting to fall out of style

With how many people are excited for oxygen and air’s revival I doubt I’m alone in thinking the new design is really ugly compared to the old one. And the logo is actually hideous

Just as everyone is getting sick of ugly flat UIs, they release a nice new ugly flat UI

yeah, once you get to the other coast you take a regional train to your final destination

how did he score fractional goals in 2006 and 2018?

This had better be a currency where 70 thousand of it is worth like 30 USD

i hope its wired up to the real one so it just turns on and off seemingly randomly like on all old cars

Used to happen to me all the time until I realized they were actually correctly gendering me the whole time

One time I was in the car with a friend who had just gotten a new piece of luggage. He was fiddling with it and told me that he had set a new code on it. I asked “Is it XXX” (some random 3 digit number I made up but forgot). It was Somehow, I got the 1 in 1000 chance and really did guess his luggage code first try

wait does risc-v firmware for the crusoe actually exist? that sounds fun

I think I had that too. I remember it caused some kind of strange associations, like books were inherently green because when i thought about them I saw a green book. Then I had like a super strong internal monologue for a while but it got less intense and now everything’s more fuzzy
