GTX 760 Ti --> GTX 1060 Ti --> RTX 3080/RX6750 XT

The last great Windows before Microsoft began its enshittification.

It was more literal than that IIRC. The gods were pissed at first but chilled out once the smells of the mortals cooking meat went up to Olympus. The only guy to suffer was poor Prometheus; condemned to have his liver eaten by an eagle as he remains chained to a mountain side.

The only way to convince you this is wrong is if you get swatted and have your dog killed for barking too much in front of you while cuffed.

This may be kind of a dumb question, but would it affect Mint in any way if Canonical were to reintroduce ads? I know Mint’s a fork but I’m not sure how integrated that part of the OS is.

Their shit films are doing poorly at the box office. It must be due to piracy!

Got laid off four times when I was a temp worker for all of them. First time was when a major customer had a downturn in the oil market and I was the obvious choice by being one of the latest hires. I was brought in for a 15 minute meeting in the only conference room of the office and perp walked out by my asshole manager that same hour.

The other three were due to the contracts timing out (CA law forces companies to either convert contract workers to FTE after 2 years or lay them off). It’s a lot less shocking when you know the date but it still sucks to count down the time. It didn’t hurt to leave so much considering temp workers were treated as second class citizens like being excluded from company parties or not receiving bonuses so it was hard to get attached.

Manually transferred about 7TBs to my new Rpi4 powered NAS. It took a couple of days because I was lazy and transferred 15 GBs at a time which slowed down the speed for some reason. It could handle small sub 1 GB files in half a minute otherwise.

The Super Mario Bros /Duck Hunt cartridge.

The best way to do it is to try reading an article and stop at every kanji you don’t know to look it up. It’s a slow process but the struggle’s what makes it easier to remember. Maybe try it with manga first as the panels help give context to what’s being said and the shounen stuff has hiragana above the kanji to help look it up.

Fluent in English.

Español es mi primer idioma.

日本語は少しだけ話せます。漢字のお陰で、読むの事はまだ難しいと思ます。

I first saw Saint Seiya in Mexico in the early 90s. Being a young kid I didn’t know it was anime at the time but remembered it being special compared to cartoons of the day.

The saying “there’s no ethical consumption under capitalism” is pretty true for most of us right now. The oligopoly we have going on makes it extremely difficult to consistently do the right thing. The only real way forward is to regulate the shit out of these products. If only we had another Upton Sinclair to scare the general populace into giving enough of a shit to demand unilateral action.

You’re right about the bad cable. I have a collection of about 10 USB A to USB micro cables and only one of them showed up on lsusb! Thanks for the advice!

I get this as a result:

user@user-System-Product-Name:~/Downloads/CH341SER_LINUX$ sudo make Makefile

make: Nothing to be done for ‘Makefile’.

I did what abominable_panda suggested and it returned a “wait_queue_t” and a couple of pointer type errors. I’m not sure if that’s something that could be fixed with installing something else, but I’m not at all familiar with troubleshooting on this OS yet. The troubleshooting part you mentioned is if it successfully installed but there are issues. It doesn’t quite explain the initial installation part.

As for cmnybo’s question, I’m trying to program a ESP32 module with the Arduino IDE. I’ve tried just plugging it in and hoping the driver would already be installed but lsusb doesn’t show it on the results.

Neither, especially with Pocket. There’s something about an add-on integrated into a browser that makes me worry about privacy. I hate how pocket is bundled in Firefox and take great pleasure in disabling it in the browser’s config file. If it was something that could be downloaded on your own I might have had a different opinion about it. I just make a bookmark folder for articles I want to read later. It takes a few extra seconds to store and access but I think it’s worth it.

For isometric RPGs Arcanum truly was unique. The dialogue and story was polished to a brilliant shine in a fantasy world going through the industrial revolution. The soundtrack composed entirely of a somber string ensemble added so much to the narrative and feel of the world, as if its magic was slowly dying out to make way for industrial expansion and exploitation. It stands up there along with the original Fallouts and Planescape: Torment. It’s a tragedy a sequel was never made. The only modern game that comes close to the aesthetics is the Pillars of Eternity franchise.

Mint works pretty well! I’ve never been much of a power user so using its GUI (Cinnamon 'cause I failed miserably at running KDE) to update and install certain programs is pretty convenient.
