I am so, so close to doing the same. Still have a small partition carved out for CoD and Windows. I just find myself booting in to it less and less.
Thank goodness MicroVision seems to be keen on continuing to flog that dead horse with a Warzone focus, means I can finally be free.
Thanks for the rec! Typing on it now. Pretty decent so far. I dig the hover on the word as i swipe
Also posting from a Pixel 7 running Graphene for abouta year. No issues, I use Fdroid for most apps and Aurora when I have too. Only bummer is I haven’t found a good FOSS keyboard with swipe. Really miss gboard for that and gif insertion.
I built my entire cloud storage strategy around Google drive because it had very simple integration with my previous seed box provider. Like, I could run Plex from the cloud through them directly off of my Google drive and then mirror that to local storage.
Super slick and easily usable setup. In a push to completely de-google my life the past 2 years I had to figure out an effective migration strategy off of that stack.
It was a total pain in the ass. Not to mention moving the rest of the people on my family plan off of Google as well. The majority of them are fairly tech savvy and even with that in mind we struggled.
I am now 100% self-hosted and learned a shit ton about docker along the way but, I couldn’t imagine trying to do the same thing with a group of entry level users.
The last sentence resonates with me. I too wore a robe and wizard hat back in the day.
Are we married to the same person?
There’s always one!
Must of been how they used the little red nub.
Worth checking the bias on the reporting here. Very right leaning for the majority of the outlets making these claims.
I run O&O Shut Up 10 on every install of Windows 10 and 11 I need to suffer through. There’s still a bit of manual config to remove search bar and other GUI stuff but it’s a pretty great, free tool.
You also might want to script it to run on boot as Windows loves to revert changes after updates as another commentor noted.
We had a pretty big event at Game Crazy. I think those shirts finally got retired after my kid grew out of them quite a few years ago.
I unfortunately… put them in the dryer to much throughout the years and they seem to have shrank. Yeah, that’s what happened.
Aww man, good to know! I wish we had a microcenter nearby. Closest one is at least a state away.
Maybe they’ll ship it. Haha
Went to the one in LA on a trip recently. Was awesome to see that much great music on one spot again.
It’s wild that we probably won’t see a return to those types of stores ever again. COVID really put the final nail in the coffin.
As an avid Bawls drinker, I 100% agree with this sentiment.
Oh yeah man, GameStop was at the forefront of what the industry as a whole is doing now. Acquiring, consuming, shitting out a husk.
I’m of 2 minds with GameStop nowadays. On one hand, it’s somewhat nice to still have a physical game store. On the other, it’s fucking GameStop and all the baggage that comes with that.
I don’t see much of a future for physical shops at this point. Especially with Best Buy, Walmart and Kroger phasing out retail space.
Soon we’ll have nothing but digital and subscription and I guess we’ll like it? I’ll hold on to my dragons hoard of physical games as long as I can (thanks Game Crazy for employing new throughout high school) but it’ll be painful the day I realize I’m no longer adding new stuff to it.
Jesus Christ, content warning for that body count you crossed off at the end there.
Fuck. I miss all those shops. Can I get a R.I.P. for Babbages, Game Crazy (pre-hollywood buyout) and Software Etc… while we’re at it?
No sense in not going totally dark here. Haha
Likely because a large portion of the people who are employed at these venues are, generally speaking, more vulnerable and susceptible to abusive cycles and behaviors.
I have known and been friends with a few people in the sex work trade throughout the years and generally they didn’t end up there because they came from solid foundational bedrocks of self-care and self-advocacy growing up.
Of course, that’s not to say that my anecdotal experience is empirical, but I’d wager reality sways a little closer to what I’ve seen than the opposite.
Man, I don’t know honestly. I believe i first saw / read it on IRC in the 90’s…
and now I’m turning to dust. haha
Thanks for being social!!!
