How long until this trickles down into the major distros?

It’s happenend with the AUR too.

Snaps however have a certain expectation that newer/inexperienced users should be able to trust them.

The outdoors is pay to win trash anyway.

It’s not extreme. This is an opinion piece posted on OMGUbuntu, so I’ll let you figure out where their biases lie.

Just now I realized I’m the NPC in some rich asshole capitalists life.

Mint.

He ate too much organic food with salt in it and got smooth brain.

It’s a huge conspiracy that the big seasoning companies don’t want you to know.

It’s been a while so I’m not entirely certain. I just know that they were unique to Suse and no other distro gave me the same problems.

Suse, every time I’ve tried it I’ve just been like yeah, nah after running into some weird issue.

You use it because you like to be efficient your use of a computer.

I use it because I’m a bossy arsehole and I like telling things precisely what to do.

We are not the same.

Ubuntu attacted a lot of control freaks because Shuttleworth was originally splashing some money when it started and a bunch of nerds saw dollar signs. As a result they have a culture of “not invented here” syndrome where someone just has to reinvent the wheel in only the way they see it and they don’t work well with others or accept their input because they want all the credit.

Personally, I got sick of it having been pretty involved early on in the project. It’s easier and saner to just use a distro based on what everyone else is doing.

I need several levels deeper for no particular reason.

Microtransactions aside, if you’re trying to protect your kids from creeps online you’re gonna have to ban every platform that supports interactions with strangers. This includes several other games you’ve mentioned in the comments including Minecraft.

Personally, instead of banning it I just play it with my kids on a regular basis. There’s plenty of actually decent games on Roblox and it enables game ideas that otherwise wouldn’t see the light of day. My favourite is the Ikea survival game.

Maybe but turning it into a good game was the least they could have done in the end for people who gave them money. That would apply to TDB devs too going forward.

Onus is on them to actually release a good game, not on the potential customer to have any faith especially with their track record. Turning NMS into a decent game was the least they could have done.

You guys have pizza left?

Yeah because fuck hustle culture.

When you have like 30 kids in a class and a limited budget then yeah, makes a lot of sense to come up with solutions like this.

For these two though if I knew them I’d just straight up give them a second PC for free to save them the hassle. You can do amazing things with refurbished PCs when budget and space constraints are a problem.

You could have a look at ex-business slimline PCs or laptops if two cases are out of the question. They’ll take up less space overall than the typical PC case and are usually pretty power efficient. The former can also be upgraded if you are careful with what you choose and find the right slimline GPUs to fit in said cases. This is what I used to do for my kids particularly with ex-Dell PCs.

The thing is that you’re not going to get a whole lot for your old parts, certainly not more than the benefit you gain by having a second PC, as by the time you sell it the parts would have depreciated in value quite a lot. But, it’s neat I guess that PCs allow you to do stuff like this even if it would result in a bit of frustration.
