Dad said we’re getting a sourcebox!

snot?

Great question! If it’s only a few GB I wouldn’t bother with tape. There are other options like

• Google Photos - I’ve been using it for 10+ years without filling up the free 10 or 15 GB, whatever it is.
• Burning a bunch of DVDs, repeat every 5 years.
• Get a couple cheap hard drives then replace 1 of them every 3-5 years so one is always fairly new.

Thanks, I just use Linux.

Not gonna go back and search for “AI” but when I read the thread hours ago there were multiple back and forth comments criticizing/defending use of ChatGPT (which is what I meant by “AI” in this case), and this was not at all the point of OP’s post.

ChatGPT was mentioned and now the thread is all about AI being good/bad, as usual.

Anyway, I’m glad you got your server going - hope you enjoy your flight!

I never even heard of Bottles, but it seems to me that free/opensource software gets into trouble like this when it tries to go bigtime by hiring a fulltime paid staff. If everything remained a side project that grew at the pace of however much time people had available to devote to it, wouldn’t it avoid overwhelming server costs and having to beg for money?

I will support this by continuing to be apathetic toward (and in fact ignorant of) the game known as Subnautica 2.

IDGAF if it’s the best (mint), it was easy to install, easy to transition to from Windows, and in 6 months hasn’t given me any trouble. I just wanna use my computer.

Could things like this go in linuxmemes? Memes are fun but it would be nice to keep this a place for actual information. And no, this is not a comment on what it’s saying, I’m just tired of so many memes.

Backpedaling to “defending creators” - that’s a bold move, Cotton.

Ok let me Sheldon it for you: Yes, deals existed “back in the day” as the saying goes, but fans were not aware of (or reactive to) the business aspects of gaming enough for the deals to be the subject of headlines or controversy.

So has fire insurance on game company office buildings, but fans never cared about it or boycotted games over it, etc.

I long for the era when fans who were asked if they would swallow future exclusivity deals would stare blankly and say, Wat?

That’s exactly it. Either you join the pitchfork faction or you stay out of their way. To me the funny thing is the delusion that typing angry comments into a phone makes people social activists.

But then aren’t people who do get jobs so they can have healtcare mooching off free healthcare?

Text files used to be a thing.

Thanks for explaining. I wasn’t sure if it meant stop the killing of games or stop playing games that involve killing, and at that point I was afraid to ask.

Depends on who you talk to. I always thought the atmo was pretty chill. When I was there around 2010 as a contractor for a couple years they had a strange work schedule: 9-hr days Mon-Thurs and half day Friday - which was almost universally regarded as a screw-around day, along with at least half of Thursday.
