I like him and the format, am over 35. 🙋‍♂️

😆 Awesome. Never too late though, enjoy!

Right on! Welcome to the family! 🤌🤌

even if I were to just upgrade my whole system tomorrow, it wouldn’t be for using W11.

Right, but if you did, you’d pick W11, I assume, if you’re a Windows user? No reason to choose an abandoned version.

🤷‍♂️ I bought my old PC in 2020, got Windows 10 for it. 11 was a free upgrade via Windows Update, so I just updated. I’m here wondering how old everyone’s PC is who are gamers. Bought a new PC this year, left my Windows M.2 stick in the old PC, did a new installation of Arch in the new PC, and left the old Arch install as a media server.

Are people daily driving and gaming on like 10-year old systems? When did those TPM modules become common in CPUs?

Same boat, ~20-year user, really happy to see so much development around Linux. Great apps, environments, gaming, system light/dark mode, etc etc. Just enjoying the ride of it growing into a modern desktop.

My latest venture is Niri, which I think I’ll stay with for a long while if everything progresses in the right direction (or stays unchanged, it’s already great).

I’m not tipping. I refuse to adopt that culture as well. I’ll literally die on that hill. Workers deserve a wage, not to depend on people’s good graces like beggars wiping car windows.

That wouldn’t work equally well as a joke online though 😆

Interesting. I’ve always been a full-album kind of listener, never do I not listen to a full album if I’m listening to music. Even after having been on Spotify for a decade or so. I wonder what changed for you but not for me.

So that’s what’s going on! I was wondering why people are doing that everywhere I eat out all of a sudden. Bloody annoying. Me with a mouth full of food having to force out a “yhh shh rlly gwwd tnnk yww”.

What would that accomplish though?

You know what, I believe that. 👌 Wouldn’t at all be surprised.

Okay, yeah, I see what you mean.

Yeah, I dunno, I think I don’t feel like it’s the most effective way to fight the war machine, to restrict non-enlisted from playing games lol. They are giving money to Valve anyway. Not being able to buy games wouldn’t affect someone negatively, I feel. If anything it might make them richer and more productive. 😅

How is valve doing business with Russia? Are they selling games to the government? Games are for the public, right? The public isn’t at war, Putin is.

Let me know if this is a bad take, what am I missing.

What’s the alternative? They have to obey the law, right? What should they have done? How is this “bowing to Kremlin” as if they’re kneeling, waiting to suck their dick or something.

Genuinely curious about these questions.

That’s really good, could be worth looking into in that case. 👍 Thanks for following up!

Seems like they already have a working solution now.

Can I avoid updating to a version to avoid this enforcement?

I just wish Plex on my TV didn’t have this bug where it can’t play the correct audio track when Direct Play is enabled. So annoying.
