Good thing about talking to robots is that you can pretty easy manipulate them.

Oh I did pirate that woke game, was it dustbuilt or dirtborn or something? Didn’t play it tho

On Apple: safari + AdGuard

Or: Orion browser

Actually, most of them already do have deals for a limited time. Skype is still available; they needed a new contract since teams does not work without communicating with Microsoft.

OTOH most things they do is via webclient.

If Microsoft was to release a mandatory update that has a single thing that required it to communicate with the organization, by law the whole governmental EU would not be able to use it.

Most of us refugees just want windows but cool.

Don’t forget that those fansubbers also want the watchers to get the feeling of the Japanese dubs, switching out sentences to match the voiced lines and still bring you the message, while non-fans just translate it.

Microsoft did nothing because they thought they had the upper hand, then they started pleasing investors.

Maybe that wasn’t the best idea. Anyway, I’m using Mint “Cinnamon” since Friday and it’s amazing.

I only pirate what is unavailable.

And things that are supposed to be bad, like the new Snow White movie, which made me still feel robbed.

I’m like in like 200$ maximum

There’s a game called “untitled goose game”

And geese are known to make “honk” sounds

I know the words, I know the meaning of these words, but… the more I read this the closer I feel to an aneurism…

And? What did happen?

Ah yes, the Portable Monitor - the Pornitor

We here in the Apple Garden know that Apple takes all our usage data and trust then that they are used anonymously. But Apple has no access to data when it is encrypted, they even warn you when you encrypt your data that you need to safe the keys yourself, they can only delete everything if you lose them.

I was in a similar situation, but I got a MacBook M1 for literally everything but PC exclusive gaming, and I kept my gaming rig dual booting windows (on the HDD) and Pop!_OS (boots automatically, saved on SSD).

Why did I get a MacBook? I just wanted it. I‘d probably throw SteamOS on the gaming rig one day and use steam-link with an Ethernet cable to stream the games to the MacBook.

And yes, Linux is really easy to use nowadays. I’ve been thinking of throwing a lightweight distro onto my parents laptop. They only use Firefox so they won’t even notice it lol

If THAT is too much for you, then there’s a heck of a lot of games you won’t enjoy.

You‘re gonna hate me, but ChatGPT (any LLM tbh) is perfect for a generic start. Once you get the hang of it, it sucks, but until then it’s good.

I fixed this by using Debian and Firefox. The only thing my parents do on the PC is stuff on the internet. It’s just important that it opens itself after the startup. They love the speed of it.

I just wanted to continue where I left off 21 years ago. I borrowed Kingodom Hearts from a friend and never left the Destiny Islands. And I know I would have played all of them that way if I would have finished it back then, so I kept that personal narrative going.

And no, I did not play the final mix versions.

Mine is pretty sad. I only played Palworld and had 2 other games I just started and never bothered continuing because they were bad.

But I did get a Wii U this year, and I played all the Zelda games there, and I tracked down all kingdom hearts games on the consoles they were originally released and played them all in release order as well!

Man, I should totally get an excel with my games.

Layoffs after the release of the game, the developer team got layed off and don’t want the publisher to make money off them.

Banking apps and having the card on the phone, those two are the only things keeping me from using a private OS
