Does it have to be arcade?

I love “papers, please”.

Venti.

I’d wash his clothes, too.

I’ve been going with LiGNUx. The G is silent.

The assistant used to be able to translate any app on the fly. It was great when living in a foreign country and trying to figure out what those text messages I got meant.

It was truly the only thing I used assistant for. I’ve had it disabled since they dropped that feature.

I last used Windows NT 4.0

The internet was just starting to get interesting. Windows had software to browse and do e-mail.

Linux had the stuff to power the whole internet. It was just a whole lot more interesting if you wanted to be more than a consumer of the information super-highway.

I use navmii for offline navigation. The search functionality is not so great, but the navigation works swell.

I treat religion like my penis.

It’s ok not to have one.

It’s ok to have one.

It’s ok to be proud of it.

But don’t display it in public, and don’t shove it down people’s throats.

And NEVER whip it out in congress.

I wouldn’t say I hate Windows. I’ve had Windows 2.0 through NT 4.0 installed, but it was more of an application that I rarely started because it usually just interfered with my MS-DOS programs. DESQview was a much preferable option, as it had true multitasking (yes, so did NT 4.0 - but it broke a lot of things).

I dual booted DOS and Linux for a couple of years, but DOS box was good enough in 1997 that I rarely had to boot DOS, so I’ve been Linux only for a couple of decades.

Sounds like I should give Windows another try.

Slackware and Red Hat were the two distros in use in the mid 90s.

My local city used proper UNIX, and my university had IRIXworkstations SPARCstations and SunOS servers. We used Linux at my ISP to handle modem pools and web/mail/news servers. In the early 2000s we had Linux labs, and Linux clusters to work on.

Linux on the desktop was a bit painful. There were no modules. Kernels had to fit into main memory. So you’d roll your own kernel with just the drivers you needed. XFree86 was tricky to configure with timings for your CRT monitors. If done wrong, you could break your monitor.

I used FVWM2 and Enlightenment for many years. I miss Enlightenment.

This cleared out a flea infestation in our dog. We use it preventatively because ticks, as well.

Fleas tend to linger because their eggs shed all over the place. As I recall, frontline had some double action going on by both killing fleas and causing their eggs to hatch into nymphs that never evolve into breeding maturity.

Fleas don’t really like biting humans, so any occurrence is a one+off.

This guy kiddie porns.

Sounds s lot more fair than the experience I had at home!

Three kids crammed in front of one computer. One on keyboard, one on mouse and one on joystick. The one on joystick was at the worst disadvantage. A small nudge was a good way to sabotage rebuilding your fortress.

I enjoyed Rampart tremendously back in the day. It had a lot of ports, but I’m surprised it hasn’t had any remakes or clones in the last 30 years.

Start with getting some experience before considering buying a boat. Not only can you lose your investment, but your life. Job a club, take lessons, make friends at the local yacht club, volunteer as crew. Requirements for being a skipper vary quite a bit between countries. Some let anyone go up to a certain size, others require certifications even for small dinghies.

The bigger the boat, the harder it is too both manoeuvre and maintain.

Do you want something small that you can roll into the water on a ramp when you use it?

Do you want something big enough that requires a crane to get in the water? Prepare to spend a week cleaning, sanding, polishing, waxing and applying new anti-foul yearly.

I started with Commodore KERNAL/BASIC 2.0 on the VIC-20, if that counts as an operating system. Otherwise GeOS on the Commodore 64.

First Linux distro was slackware 3.0.

And they have a -50% flash sale.

Imagine that timing.

I’ve been trying to convince my boomer wife to try affinity. She works mostly with print, and it seems like a good fit to me.

I’d only use zram if I had no swap device/file.

In my experience zswap performs better, and doesn’t get in the way of hibernation. In fact, most distros enable it by default today, and it doesn’t always work so great with zram.
