Looked it up

Gold density: 19.3 whatever’s/who cares

Concrete: 2.3 same/measurements

Almost 10x as heavy!

Not them but 9 months into Mint and I’ve had 0 issues with any games or programs that don’t just not work on Linux (fucking anticheat)

Simple, supported, Community that isn’t entirely filled with elitists telling you to use the CLI, good comfortable starting spot

Its hard because stop using adobe as graphic designe

Premiere Pro, Photoshop, and After Effects all worked when I tried them on Linux Mint 22 to see if they worked

Older versions from before the CC updates for those programs that you can use them for also work and work quite well, though I do understand that there are literally missing features for professional work in some of those older versions

A real Linux alternative (or proper fucking Support but fuck adobe) would be GREAT, but the change likely won’t be as bad as you might be worrying

So far the hardest thing I’ve had to install was called YAD, and that was so I could install Morrowind mods specifically, a rather niche need all things considered, and I’ve made multiple audiovisual projects on my Linux workstation without having to do anything like that

I do keep a Win10 LTSC on a side boot drive for games with anticheat and any programs I might need there but so far that’s literally only been handbrake, which I’m sure there’s a Linux version/alternative for but I just haven’t had to use it on that OS yet due to work flow

Or machine virtualization, VirtualBox and similar programs are piss easy to learn to use and most machines today should have 0 issue emulating older windows and an old game in a VM

Any issues you might have are going to be hardware related, like really old games not playing nice on no original hardware, but if you’ve got one of those then just install the last version of the OS and isolate that original hardware machine from any networking and it’s completely safe to use as a game console

For games that could run on Win7 and 8? Not really

It’s surreal reading comments pining for win7

Oh no they’ve been in a coma since 2012!

I jest, but seriously I was in HS personally while whinging about 8 and wanting 7 back after my laptop auto updated on me like a jackass. Its actually the event that lead to me learning IT!

it was never supposed to be a ground braking game just a way to monotize their testing while giving the hungry fans something to play with while they wait.

Can’t re-write history just to cope, buddy

would you reather a buggy unplayable mess now or a fully flashed out game a year or two later

Right now we don’t get either so that’s a weird 2 options to pick

Part of faking it is not wanting to acknowledge that you can’t afford a needed service.

I googled it before I misremembered: Google offers this as a service built into their maps features and appears not to charge the restaurant for it (could be wrong on that bit)

Sure, Google is Google, but that’s a free option that works and works well on a site people probably already used to find you. Why more business don’t bother using Google’s map-adjacent features baffles me

I can’t imagine anyone expecting their customers to book a table in a restaurant via video call - that would be stupid on many levels.

I don’t remember the name because it doesn’t exist anymore and was stupid anyway (some artsy name like Pierololle or some other French sounding fake word) but I had a place want me to upload a picture of myself to reserve

I assume so the person booking has to be the one getting the table? So this isn’t too far from possible, horrifyingly stupid an idea as it sounds

Please do, improve the world ☺️

Conservative is 4 syllables and they can understand that

Oh look, someone who doesn’t know what hyperbole is! Shit like that is why we lost, our side is full of slush brained assholes too

Gotta prove there was evidence on the phone in the first place, which would take forensic work to do and be not worth the work in the majority of cases

Plus it would annoy them, and that’s the real goal here

If you haven’t done this and need the same ability IMMEDIATELY: reboot, or just shut down

Every first boot requires pin same as lockdown

Also: set a nonstandard finger in a weird way as your finger unlock if you wanna use that, then theyre likely to fail to get that to work should you not manage to lock it down beforehand

Finally: there are apps that let you use alternate codes/finger unlocks to wipe/encrypt/reboot the device instead, allowing you to pretend to cooperate with the cops up until they realize they got played

It really doesn’t upset conservatives

I personally know multiple conservatives who this shit very much upsets, actually

They do the same thing back to you and you conclude they can’t understand words with more than 3 syllables back at them.

No, I come to that conclusion due to other actions of theirs and treat their words as the useless drivel it is by not listening to them at all and then obstinately repeating my point. I learned it from them, they fucking hate it.

I literally do not care what those who don’t get upset think, I know for a fact it upsets a decent amount of them and thus I’ll keep doing it to piss that group off, simple as

Nah, this actually upsets conservatives and I’m sick of pretending they understand words with more than 3 syllables when it comes to politics

Conservatives don’t deserve nor will get respect moving forward and if they don’t like that they can for the fuck Up, adults will discuss actual problems

My local ISP is run by Trumpers out of one little office nearby

I’d love a final reason to firebomb them after all the bullshit, honestly

I know Terraflops are real and what they measure

I still refuse to believe they’re not a fake term used to fluff up tech announcements and make shit sound more powerful than it is because that’s a fucking stupid name that nobody should use

I get that everyone’s shit posting here, but the answer is that it’s believed Dr. Pepper as a name might be directly referencing an actually Dr. who lived in the area the drink was invented in, but we’re honestly not sure about that at all

Its entirely possible that it was called that because it was sold in pharmacies and was “spicy” (thus Dr. Pepper), or another alternative I’ve heard is basically that idea but it has caffeine so it meant Dr. Speed, basically

All that to say: Dr. Pepper is gender fluid, dipshits, I’ll see myself out

Fair enough, I figured being a Lemmy user was enough indication that I’m a legit Linux user that’s annoyed by this, but yeah I see what you mean

I refuse to edit it and will eat the karma as it lands, as is my fate

E: ah, someone else did basically the same joke I did but they left an obviously legit review, so mine looks like I’m making fun of them. My comment is older, or theirs went up as I made mine, but I totally see what the issue is now, mines beneath theirs and looks like sarcasm at them
