this would’ve been 2013ish, and i THINK it had something to do with forcing it to run as either admin or another user.
i might be conflating this with memories of “jailbreaking” school computers, it all kinda blends together after enough concussions lmao
yeah, fuck, i remember the icon. that’s the one :/
iirc this isn’t possible with roblox anyway?
it for sure was like a decade ago. i have a specific formative memory of using a series of sock puppets to game my way into being the 1,000th unique player on a game i liked a lot.
i think you could only do 2 simultaneously, and it might’ve been win7 exclusive lmao
was there a recent issue? i DEFINITELY had a working roblox launcher back before i distro-swapped this last time. it MIGHT’VE been through lutris? i can’t remember specifically now :/
this is why the og ds mariokart is the one i’ve sunk the most hours into BY FAR
punycode domains fucking rule! registrars ignore the shortening, so you can get a single character domain like ツ.gay for a pittance. there’s some non-english TLDs that resolve through punycode as well. generally they’ll have some SOLID english words that haven’t yet been taken, like butts.移动
i own both of those by the way. ツ.gay will take you to the new onehundredninetysix community, and butts.移动 goes to my favorite youtube video!
i’ve got an ad-blocking DNS on home network and my phone, i use youtube revanced, i’ve even got a fucken apk patcher to strip ad shit out of mobile games. it’s WILD to me how tolerant people are of ads. like anytime someone’s showing me a video on their phone and an ad plays, i have to do a little mental math on whether it’ll be annoying or mutually beneficial to just start playing the video on my phone instead.
and it takes such little effort to get rid of them! i’m constantly offering to teach people how to use patchers or revanced, folks are just like “nah it doesn’t bother me” MAN, HOW? sponsorblock alone is a goddamn godsend, sometimes more than 30% of a video is just ads and self promotion! how does anyone happily throw away their time like that‽
nah babe just COVER your screen in fingerprints! everyone loves touch screens right??
idk why everyone is avoiding touchpads
that’s who the soup is for, wildly enough
start the countdown until “i’m gonna blue shell a ceo” becomes a credible threat you could to to jail for
it’s gonna be a real needle in a haystack of bastardized imitations though. which i suppose is always at least somewhat the case with important works of art.
god i still need to read that book.
am i crazy or were the wii guitars like, uncharacteristically good? they’re the only ones i had growing up, and then i bought a ps2 guitar for clone hero recently and it’s TRASH in comparison!
folks use that?
i’m a photoshop simp who straight up couldn’t use GIMP because of the clunky UI, but after switching to linux i’m an avid photogimp advocate.
yeah, reckon we’ve both been getting a bit semantic lol
i can’t speak for the original person, but my whole thing is regardless of consumer practices, manufacturerers are gonna keep making more and more phones every year, and they’re already making too many. those NIB phones on ebay were purchased, but not to be used. until they get sold, they’re just closer and closer to trash every day.
trade ins and buying/selling used DOES make a difference, it’s just hard not to think it’s a drop in the bucket compared to the massive amounts of electronics that end up getting discontinued, discounted, and sold to resellers hahaha
Yeah but new phones that go unpurchased don’t just magically get unmanufactured. I ONLY buy used phones, but that has literally no impact on the garbage production that comes from companies releasing a new model literally every year.
The sheer number of old phones that are still new-in-box on the secondhand market should be enough to exemplify that fact. We are WAY overproducing tech, and the “model a year” framework is throwing fuel on that particular fire.
It’s like people really think “reduce reuse recycle” is LITERALLY ALL IT’S GONNA TAKE. 1 year upgrade cycles are just as bad as fast fashion for how quickly they produce GARBAGE.
i’m using photogimp and haven’t looked back, it’s surprisingly robust
