watching microsoft shoot themselves in the foot this year with copilot and the windows 10 EOL is amazing.
the year of the linux desktop will come not at the hands of some crazy user-friendly distro, but by microsoft becoming so unbearable that people switch out of frustration.
#*FAX MACHINE NOISES*#linuxposting#linux#microsoft's bullshit has gotten so much worse man#i was setting up a new surface last week and they've started installing two different versions of copilot (like w/ teams)#this surface had. i shit you not. 5 versions of office. 3 versions of teams. 2 versions of copilot#my boss and i have agreed we're going back to buying dell laptops bc the surfaces are a fucking nightmare

truly so baffling to me to hear people complain about their electronics like my coworker was complaining that her 2017 Mac was so slow its barely functional and it’s like what do you MEAN your 8 year old Mac is dead? mine is from 2013 and runs flawlessly?? what are you doing to your $1000 machine ??? filling it with peanut butter and TikTok viruses?????
#and I’m fairly callous with mine. I’ll download anything. (although I am a tech guy so like I can think critically but#I do tend to download a bunch of random shit from like Reddit threads and forums lol) and yet my Mac is like practically mint.#his only crime is sometimes he dies at 20% and gets hot and can’t run 32bit programs (<apple’s fault)#he’s still running max graphics stardew valley with 900 mods and Minecraft mid graphics with 200 and like 30fps (<good for modded mc)#Apple truly making solid products considering every midrange windows pc I’ve used became garbage in like 4-5 years 🫥#ive spent more on my 4 windows PCs in the last 20 years than this one Mac that will probably keep trucking for another 10 years.#Like sorry im not an apple freak but considering how many devices I’ve bought used and fiddled with…… kind of incredible how Apple has#somehow managed to come out on top in the longevity/ease of use/privacy departments.#if windows didn’t force you to update and use their bloatware bullshit and not let you CONTROL THE MACHINE YOU BOUGHT id be less mad#but every time I use win 10 or 11 I want to shoot myself in the head. win1011 softwares practically feel like malware.#a day in the life of steeve#only reason I would ever have a windows device is to play sims 2. (works on Mac but no utilities which are indispensable these days).#and I’m thankful Emily has a top tier gaming laptop for me to use for sims <3#if I ever need another pc I think I’ll venture into Linux. my steam deck runs Linux and it feel so pleasant and friendly compared to win11.

Something that I think is really fundamental about what appeals to people about things like Linux and Firefox and other open source and customizable software is that a lot of us remember the days when we told computers what to do. These days it really feels like we have decided to let computers tell us what to do (and by extension nazi fuck tech billionaires).
Don't let the computer tell you what to do. You tell the computer what to do! I always remember when I was newer to Linux I wanted advice on where to store files that I wanted multiple users to have easy read write access to, so I asked and people were generally just like "I dunno, I guess /opt or /srv. It doesn't really matter its your filesystem" and that really spoke to me. Like, its your filesystem, its your computer. Create a directory on your fs root called /stuff and just dump everything you have in there if you want. Create different partitions for files that are different colors if you want. Store all your nudes in /proc no one gives a shit.

i've been using my sibling's old laptop to play fields of mistria and it's making me want to never move on from my macbook... apple lets me update when i want and never does anything without my permission. doesn't give me ads on my homescreen. doesn't force me to log into a microsoft account to experience "family safety features". i thought apple was supposed to be the stupid pathetic OS but running windows genuinely feels like i'm fighting off a virus called microsoft login assistant 24/7
#.docx#i'm so sorry apple. i hate you as a company but you make better computers than windows#i'd get a linux but then i really can't run any games i have#and for some reason my laptop always ALWAYS lasts me longer than both my siblings' laptops#theirs are on literal life support but i can take mine anywhere without a charger and Survive

In our latest Wildermyth campaign we lost @skykid-nadir 's character Caya. She went out with a bang, saving our party from certain death. May your sacrifice be the subject of many songs, and your memory cherished for generations Also Shenny (@eclipsefoxart) and Levee (@radio-mann) got together yaay
But they were not the only ones to have fallen in love...
(featuring @madam-morbid 's Astara, @skykid-nadir 's Jim, Shenny's daughter - Garbin Fin and my wolfhead hunter, Cammy Stornbin)

The Steam Deck is now cheaper than a Nintendo Switch in some places. And the Steam Deck can emulate anything with about an hour of setup!
#i got one like a year and a bit ago on sale but they're now just that price as standard#almost exclusively play emulated nintendo ds and n64 games and VNs but it also runs like. anything a mid-range gaming PC can run.#which is pretty damn impressive to me. it boggles me mind what you can get on that lil screen.#plus its also a handheld linux pc if you close steam (which is a built in feature)#anyway point is its nuts that its now the best value handheld console imo#(its probably the old model without the fancy new screen they released last year but like. you dont need that.)#i am playing 20 year old DS games they only have 3 polygons.

dads been getting back into making music in a big way and its so funny to have lots of back and forth about cool experimental stuff we've come across and i ask how his own tinkering is going and he tells me he's spent the last 2 days perfecting the setup on his RGB keyboard instead
#terminal computer guy brain#he couldn't get his new pedalboard to interface wiht linux at all so he bought a new windows gaming laptop to run the softwar#i convinced him to play no mans skya few months back and he got really into the soundtrack and hes like#i cant get a whole synth setup i just got this new guitar last year but also i need one.#very fun for me who has zero musical ability beyond a good vocal range.
