Back when we saw the death of the floppy disk, I knew optical media’s days were numbered. Twenty years ago we had no idea that everything was going to be “something as a service.” Enshitification hadn’t been invented yet.

Guess I’m done talking shit about Clippy.
I started working a tech job at a large university a couple of months ago and it’s a very different world and atmosphere than when I was in school 20 years ago.
Thanks for the input. I haven’t been following this story closely.
We don’t use the word “Spyware” like we did twenty years ago. It’s baked into Windows now.
Israel starts to steal homes, land and killing men, children and women.
Can I get a source for this? I’ve been living under a rock.
Best not to poke bomb the sleeping giant.
Louisiana, along with the rest of the Southern states are great until you leave the areas with the buildings and the learning.
Native Mississippian here. I can’t speak for Alabama, but parts of Mississippi, like the Mississippi Delta, are among the most impoverished parts of the country. While crime is relatively low apart from gang activity, I do remember seeing a notice at a Mississippi delta Dominos location with a special map on the wall. It showed parts of town they would not deliver to after dark.
My wife is from the Midwest and thought that was the most peculiar thing she had ever seen.
On the flip side, there are pockets of disproportionate wealth peppered across the state. These places are beautiful, but mostly unobtainable due to housing shortages and sky high interest rates. If you’re lucky enough to snag a home in or around these nicer areas, the already low cost of living in the state can actually be quite nice.
Dear God that sounds like it would send my anxiety through the roof. Crazy original idea though. I’d still try it.
Cave hermit here and I was delighted the first time I launched Quake 3 Arena on a linux distro. I’m wading deeper into the linux pool since Microsoft has lost their mind. Ads have no place in an operating system.
Gaming has tied me to Windows for decades, but thanks to companies like Valve and System 76 the long awaited shift may continue accelerating.
I’m glad to be here to see it.
Am I brain damaged or is part of the joke the fact that the screenshot isn’t legible?
Ninja Edit Nevermind. The Boost app seems to default to low res images.
I knew Tyson was a trash company, but this is blatantly predatory; up there with Nestle. They won’t get any more of my money, but I wish there was an easy way to know which house (store) brands are using Tyson.
Don’t forget the lemons for your party.
It’s all about the money.
I’ll second KSP. I learned a ton from that game.
Ah, the elusive “C o u r a g e” port.
I only learned that I was raised by a major league narcissist with anger management problems after I met my wife. She has training in clinical counseling and helped me realize that soooo much of my personality and habits can be traced back to my upbringing. Turns out my grandfather treated him the same way.
Generational trauma is a cruel monster that many of us never learn about. That’s a damn shame too.
You the real MVP.
Good old fashioned enshitification.
