And if you’re that much of a graphics nerd, you own a PC.

Ubuntu is dead on the desktop.

I’m using Fedora KDE right now for their Wayland support, because I wanted stuff like FreeSync on my AMD GPU, but I do miss Cinnamon. And Autokey.

The Steam Deck is a slightly funny shaped x86_64 laptop. It has an AMD APU in it. You can hook it up to a monitor, mouse and keyboard and do your taxes on it if you want.

You know what the main difference between the Steam Deck OLED and the PS5 Pro is? Customers wanted and asked for the Steam Deck OLED.

I’m hoping to have bought my last x86 portable device. Hell it wouldn’t hurt my feelings if my Ryzen 7700x was the last x86 processor I ever buy.

And then “Have A Nice Day.”

The one that does what I need it to do on the device I’m running it on. I’ve currently got four different Linux distros on x86 PCs around my house at this moment.

I prescribe one of those feathers on a fishing rod toys. Put that energy to some nice healthy play.

pretty sure that’s why I exist.

This is human smoke. Don’t breathe this.

I honestly can’t be mad at this point because what they SHOULD do is sell cables in bulk packaging to the Apple store, and then when they sell a phone they say “Do you need a USB cable? Free with the phone.” If they say “No we’re okay I’ve got hundreds of them by now” no problem, if they say “Yeah in fact can I get two?” Sure. Same with chargers. Of course this is Apple we’re talking about, so they’re probably $69.99 each.

A surprising amount of Fractal Design’s cases do.

The USB port on my phone is getting a bit tired and doesn’t properly hang onto a USB cable anymore, so I’m mostly charging it wirelessly now. Which in some circumstances can be a bit of a problem but the phone still works.

I’ve built two computers now that have never run Windows.

You copied that floppy?!?!

She probably made you pay for her meal anyway.

You mean that inferior version of Scorched Earth?

I thought Gen Alpha was very explicitly NOT learning cursive.

I had typing tutor software on the family PC. It made the mistake of trying to teach typing by starting with only home row keys, then expanding outward from there. So for a very long time, you would type things like adj daf jal ls; dal fka and so forth. It was a very long time until you really started to get it.

And then MSN chat rooms and messenger happened to me, and suddenly touch typing was the main way I had to hit on chicks. I knew what the home row was, so I knew what touch typing looked like, so I started actually doing it, but typing things I wanted to type. I’m now the third fastest typist I know. On a good keyboard with a passage I’m familiar with I can key 106WPM, right now typing conversationally out of my brain I’m probably hitting about 65 or 70.
