Yup. I’m Bo7a.
Do you know the meme with the knucklehead on the left at the bottom of the bell-curve, the smashed brain moron at the top, and the sage at the right?
With this comment you are very close to coming off as the smashed brain moron at the top of the curve.
Everyone has preferences, but your preferences do not map to you being superior in any way. And just as importantly - you are also a beginner to some people. It would serve you well to remember that.

I’m seeing a lot of “ai” generated trash in the paper now :(
The periphery of small towns covered in makeshift tents and shanty style campers would disagree with your statement.
These encampments used to be for seasonal workers passing through. But more and more become year-round all the time.
You are certainly correct about the bulk of homeless making their way towards the cities, but there are a growing number of those who don’t.
Hey me. Nice to see me out in the wild.
I chucked most of my computer stuff, but kept a laptop for work, and a somewhat aging desktop to game on rainy nights, and moved to a piece of forest far from others.
When we first got out here there wasn’t even enough space to park our truck. I cleared enough Forest to park our travel trailer and live in while we built a tiny 12 ftx30 ft house.
Now I spend my mornings feeding birds and doing minimal tending on a very wild (by design) garden.
Strongly suggest others who can do so to give it a try.
Especially people who are in any type of job where systems, thinking and infrastructure was part of your daily thought process.
Life out here is very hard at first as we set up the infrastructure but everyday it gets a little bit easier and eventually the workload should be smaller here than it is at a normal job. That’s when I’ll quit my normal job.
Everything you say is misconstrued through some lens over which you have no control.
example:
Me: Hey do you want to go for a walk when you are done what you are working on?
Them: Why are you always so critical of how long things take?
Me: What. The. Fuck?
Thanks. I won’t tell them or it’ll just go to their head.
I know a single data point is pretty worthless. But here is our most recent experience.
When we suddenly lost one of our 5 year old brother cats, the one who was still with us got lethargic and very obviously wasn’t himself. We waited about 2 months then brought two rescue kittens home about a week apart, and did a fairly relaxed intro for each before bringing in the next.
He hissed at both of them for the first 5 minutes when physical contact was allowed but otherwise he left them alone for a few days each.
Within a week they were sleeping together. Now they can often all three be found in a big furpile licking each other and he is back to his playful self. We considered not getting another friend for him. But we are so very happy we did.

Me too!

Whoa! thanks for sharing your experience. Your work was definitely appreciated. 25 years later, mainly due to that silly need to play pirated cartoons for the kiddos, and a CD rom I pulled out of the trash - I am a sysadmin who wears an architect title, and I have built some amazing systems. Maybe if Caldera hadn’t been what it was I wouldn’t have been interested enough to make it work, and to realize a love for unixlike systems. So yeah. Thanks :)
Caldera linux 1.2.
Those days were magical.
I had just started my university days and I had two young kids who wanted to watch cartoons but we couldn’t afford cable. I ended up scrounging parts from the garbage bins in and behind the computer lab to scrape together a workable desktop.
If I recall correctly it was 333 MHz. Originally installed Windows 98 SE on it. But media would stutter no matter what I did, even if all other processes were killed.
A monk friend of mine (my university was geographically attached to a Benedictine monastery) asked me if I had tried Linux as it should be easier on the system resources and still allow me to play most media.
The rest, as they say, is history.
Still worth a shot to mention.
Proton just doesn’t seem to like any data on an NTFS partition, but the error message is ugly and buried so I mentioned it in all of these types of posts.
My usual ‘shot in the dark’ when someone mentions windows versions: Is the game data on a shared NTFS partition? If so, move it to a native linux FS like ext4 and try again.
Shot in the dark - Is there any chance the game data is on a shared NTFS partition? The start > blackscreen > dead pattern often happens if you happen to be accessing the game data from an NTFS partition, but that part of the error message is super deep and not really obvious.

I made a bad meme to include the text so I could share it with my wife outside of lemmy.
And then I felt bad stealing a meme.
So I’m posting it here as penance.
Roughly the same here. And yeah this hasn’t been a problem since the very first years. And even then it was just some config tweaks.
I will carry this sacred knowledge for the remainder of my fleeting time on this rock.
And giggle.
