Man, I spent so long playing elite! Docking with those space stations took a whole lot of practise. And the graphics seemed amazing at the time, amazing how far and fast things have changed.

In a few years there will be shit loads of irrelevant AI crap that no-one will be able to use because they can’t buy devices. These AI companies seem like a predator that goes extinct because it has eaten all its potential prey.

I mean, financially, yeah I think so. Which is ironic, since as a person he’s worth about as much as a large turd in a small bag.

My tech knowledge is not at all current, recently got sick of windows BS and installed linux mint on my laptop. The whole process was really easy, didn’t have to use command prompt at all or understand any arcane technical terms. It was actually easier and more accessible than windows.

Eagle. Ripped her head right off, and flew away with it.

I absolutely agree about difficulty and frustration. I’m in my 50s, my hands are a bit fucked, and I don’t have the reaction times I did a few decades back. I also just don’t have as much screen time. I don’t want to spend that limited time getting my arse kicked again and again and making no progress. With a few notable exceptions, if I can’t get past something after a dozen or so tries, I’ll usually quit.

It’s very hard to define the difference, but there’s a type of difficulty that gives me a real feeling of triumph to overcome, and there’s a type that just annoys me. I can’t be arsed with the latter - life is short and backlog is long.

So a couple of weeks ago I finally had enough of windows and put linux mint on my laptop instead. I haven’t used linux since the early 90s and couldn’t remember much at all, was concerned I’d have trouble with drivers etc.

In fact the whole experience was a piece of piss. So easy. There were no urgent-seeming pop ups with arcane terms, no crashes or problems, I didn’t need to use the command prompt.

Then I was able to find and install the programmes I use easily too. Slack, steam, etc. Within maybe an hour I was able to do my work on the computer again. I kinda feel like I got my laptop back - windows was getting so buggy and aggravating that I had been avoiding using the machine.

If Linux wants a future in which it continues to grow, it needs to do more of this, appealing to the casual, non-technical user. Because we probably represent most of the market.

Was this the thing with legless avatars from the uncanny valley? No idea how they wasted so much money - they’d have done better to employ a good gaming studio to make something fun that looked good. Could have saved billions there.

Strong coffee just makes me feel shaky and uncomfortable, with a comedown 2 or 3 hours later that makes me crave sugar. That’s really all I get from it. I’ve done pretty much all the drugs, this just seems like a crap one. I do like a cup of tea tho.

Not just a wanker, also a pea-brained gibbering dicksplat.
