You’re going to make me cry remembering my days with gpm. Hands down the best music platform that was.

I wasn’t talking about good AdSense in this case, just the page you are redirected to if you are coming from one of their marked VPN IP addresses. Unless this has changed since the last time I attempted to go to Reddit with a VPN on. But that’s the behavior I’ve witnessed.

Not a code change at all, just a filtering of the traffic from particular ip’s and forwarding it to a different page which is all that reddit is doing as well.

Check out Cobalt Core. Great game in that and vein.

Ah man good times there. I just had classic wow running on my steam deck, hooked up to a custom server. So much fun and surprisingly playable and good since the deck has enough buttons to map everything to.

Most new Linux users if not all, are unable to make an educated decision on package management. The UI that they think they will like better would be more important.

Are you arguing it’s someone else’s fault if you spill hot coffee on yourself?

I’ve been using MainGear laptops for about 15 years now. It’ll come with Windows and I’ve either dual booted or just wiped it to install Linux everytime. Great prices for what you get hardware wise. My first laptop I bought from them is still running and in use. Never had an issue with Linux running the hardware. But prior to them almost every laptop I had I had issues all from the bigger makers.

Yes I would say that the brain bleeding is probably a physical installation issue, not frying the brain.

I think though you’re reading more into my comments than are there. I’ve not said I’m for getting a chip in my brain nor anyone else’s, including the primates. My comment was around the point that if you are going to argue or fight something, you need to be honest on how you do it. Your clear emotional response to this is keeping you from seeing that. Over sensationalizing or misrepresenting the facts doesn’t help your stance. The truth here is that they really messed up at least a couple of times with the physical installation of the chips, that led to a degradation in the quality of life of the test subjects and eventually death. But not anything that would be like “frying” someone’s brain. And that, those facts alone should give one pause before signing up for anything like this. Especially when you consider, no matter who or what company pursues this, this is bound to happen. Any new hardware or software fails during at least development let alone post release so it’s not surprising at all these results occurred, considering what they are doing. I’d imagine if this chip functions as it should, the only people that would consider it, currently at least, would be those without any other option and their quality of life is already dismal due to their health issues.

No your misuse of the phrase does. If a person suffers a physical brain injury, as dramatic for instance as a metal rod getting shot into their brain leaving them disabled, you don’t say their brain was fried. It’s used primarily to describe chemical issues with the brain, such as a person who used a bit too many drugs and their brain is now impaired because of it. The primates in the article suffered issues caused by the physical installation of the chip, not from the functioning of the chip. Therefore not fried.

I don’t think it’s about nitpicking it’s about being honest.

Oh haha, yeah that makes more sense

HOL?

Just because you give money to someone or something it doesn’t make it a charitable organization that doesn’t get taxed.

What provider is that? I have just of my metadata issues resolved but occasionally I find a season all messed up.

That’s not Baldurs Gate, it’s Baldurs Gate: Dark Alliance which is a completely different game that was on consoles. It was an Action RPG as opposed to an RPG.

But it was also great fun. Especially with a friend.
