It’s a good practice to have the home folder on a separate partition, so it doesn’t get overwritten on a reinstall

This is not an objective opinion nor tries to be.

I absolutely used to love Ford Racing 2. Got it from a cereal box or something.

Right now, Supertuxkart

If you like puzzles, horror and all things weird, definitely try some of the games by Rusty Lake.

The entire Cube Escape series is available for free (a sort of excape the room puzzle).

As a former picky eater, lots of foods. Most notably sushi (used to dislike all fish), and bell peppers that moved from disgusting to delicious.

Lots of music. As most kids do (or used to before streaming was a thing) I was locked in a limited set of genres, but I’ve come to appreciate songs I’d have never considered back then.

I might be wrong but I remember this one as a flash game back in the day

First, don’t listen to his opinions on anything that isn’t about comouters and software. He doesn’t have a good track record there.

Do pay attention to his takes on technology and freedom, there’s a lot of food for though there.

I was at one of his talks recently, and he’s definitely and eccentric fellow. When it comes to free software he’s a die hard extremist, and I have a feeling he knows and to a certain extent he does that on purpose. Case in point, he mentioned how he refused hearing aids and would similarly refuse a pacemaker as there are none running on free software.

As such, that’s how I take his ideas about free software: a good philosophy taken to the extreme to showcase what’d be possible if we went all in on that, and the dangers of not doing it. Definitely not something that can work for everyone, or a realistic pathway to a world of free software.

I do think, however, that someone like him is fundamental to advance the cause of free software, even if no one takes him literally and emulates his way of life.

I’m not gonna refuse a life saving treatment or device because it runs on propriety software, but I am willing to sacrifice some convenience to use a free software alternative when available.

I use my “body” towel for the cheeks and toilet paper for the crack, same ad when I shower

What happened? I’ve never heard of it

I’ve washed shoes in the washing machine a few times, using the setting for delicate clothes. So far no damage to be seen and they come out clean.

Probably not something that should be done every other day, but once in a while seems fine.

They’re in on collecting data, like every other company

Teens acting like teens.

There are writings dating back to ancient Greece of people complaining about young people and how stupid/lazy/whatever they are compared to the previous generations.

Maybe we can drop that one already.

Rancors are the new elephants

Started Final Fantasy IX again, with the Moguri Mod, and thoroughly enjoying this trip down memory lane.

Now that I’m older I appreciate the themes found in this game in a way 12 year old me most certainly couldn’t.

I heard that person actively contributed for something like 2 years, providing actually useful contributions, to gain the level of trust needed to plant that backdoor. Feels a bit too much to chalk it up to boredom.

As for the second part, that’s an interesting question. Are there lots of backdoors and we just happened to notice this one, or are backdoors very rare exactly because we’d have found them out soon like in this case?

Windows licenses AFAIK are already rarely bought on their own. The vast majority of users get one by having it bundled to a new device they purchase.

My thoughts exactly. Kinda like how some tiktoks/reels/shorts are specifically crafted to make you watch them over and over again to drive up viewing time.

Jamendo is definitely still around, and there has always been plenty of music made as a score there

It’s been a while since I’ve played it but it is fun. I might just have to install it again

Ka is a wheel after all

I loved that one too, can’t wait for the right time to read it again
