I sent her a few bucks when Biden dropped out and a few more when she picked Walz. If she said the words "embargo" or "war profiteering", though, I'd send her a whole damn pile of money. Won't hold my breath.

FWIW, I've got an i7-8700k with an RTX 3080. I initially had two major issues when I replaced Windows with Bazzite:

1. Steam doesn't do great with libraries on NTFS partitions. Supposedly there are workarounds, but I couldn't get them to work for me. I had to reformat a couple drives as ext4 (and do a bunch of file management in the process) before things would play nice.

2. I had my CPU overclocked to 4.8 GHz in Windows. BG3 kept crashing on me on Bazzite. Finally occurred to me to drop the overclock and I've played 40+ hours since, solid as a rock. Performance is comparable to Windows with OC. GPU temps are consistently better than Windows. Only thing I'm missing is HDR.

Bonus: GreenWithEnvy (for GPU fan curve) won't run in a Wayland session yet, apparently, so I've been running under X11 instead.

Hope this helps. YMMV. Happy gaming, whatever OS you use!

I can't remember exactly when I stopped installing mIRC when I built a new PC, but it's been a while. Is DALnet still around?

My sympathies. Earlier this week I made dinner with an Impossible Meat brick that was a single day past the labelled expiration. I had some unexpected GI issues that I've attributed to that and I really felt terrible after, like I'd strained my pooper or something. Been farting like a cow ever since. I keep apologizing to my wife. Fuck knows why or how she puts up with me.

I like the joke but I suspect the levels for "young programmer", "adult programmer", and "old programmer" would all look a lot like "programmer". It's true at least in my case. The occupation does seem to attract the more spicy-brained among us. 😆

Agreed. A bit skeevy on the face of it. I've often wondered if something like that is why Dick Cheney is still alive. "Bring in the next snackrifice!" Ugh.

I understand. I looked around for a "mea culpa" type of community but I couldn't really find one. Mainly wanted to get it on the record that I know what a boob I've been. Do you have a suggestion as to a better place to post?

Do you see that as more of a serial or parallel arrangement? 🤔

When you can tuck them under your gut, you'll know.

Would you happen to have a source that you could link on that please? I've been trying to see if it affects us since I read the Ars Technica story this morning. We have been getting Teams historically with the Office 365 E3 license that comes with our Action Pack sub.

I bought an Adventure is Nigh t-shirt. I'm 53 and staring down decline, decrepitude, and a dystopian present, let alone future. I've just now in 2024 fully recovered from the 2008 downturn. Fuck it, I'm getting a t-shirt.

Hope your Friday night is treating you right. ✌️

My credit union's web site looks like a MySpace page. They don't even offer freaking 2FA. Been meaning to transition to cash management account but such a PITA.
