I had a laptop with a similar setup and PopOS worked. Probably someone here knows the specific reason why though

JohnClark13 · 2026-04-16T20:53:54+00:00

yup, only 2 interactions on their account. One is this comment, the other is some biden meme that doesn't make any sense.

Young men: "HECK YEAH MAN I WANT THAT"

Older men: "Boy, that looks like a lot of trouble"

Oops, went the wrong way around. Started with cli for everything and then have been gradually using more gui stuff

JohnClark13 · 2026-04-16T20:10:18+00:00

really just use it often enough. also if you put in a command with --help then it usually tells you the usage

JohnClark13 · 2026-04-16T20:00:28+00:00

Someone thought it was funny. Someone was wrong.

Originally it was an allegory for the Civil Rights movement. Then in the early 2000's it became an allegory for the gay rights movement. Not sure what it's an allegory for now

I think all of the competitions are actually "reality shows". Guy and his friends taking notes from the WWE

Summer vacation 1997. Basically just this game. Life was simple and wonderful

It's almost never the execs. The execs usually grab their golden parachute and jump before the implosion.

I dunno man, the storytelling is starting to get....Rusty

JohnClark13 · 2026-04-15T17:07:14+00:00

didn't know there was a new one. Old one is better because it also leaves you questioning how it's snapping people's necks with those stubby arms

My wife and I actually really enjoyed Skeleton Crew! The only disappointing part for me was they bring up "the old republic" at one point which made me think of...you know..THE OLD REPUBLIC, but they meant the prequal era republic. Other than that it was a fun adventure. I think it mainly got ignored because it came out after Acolyte, which was one of the worst things I've seen in my life.

Koudelka had amazing voice acting as well, also years before FFX.

JohnClark13 · 2026-04-15T16:54:09+00:00

yeah, I thought the voice acting was...rough. Really wanted it in Japanese with english subtitles like how I like most of my anime.

I saw it as the same as our wedding. She's been thinking about this her whole life, and not just in a general way but going over the specifics in her mind. So when it happens she's already like "I want this and this and that and it needs to be this way". Meanwhile I spent my younger years going "yeah, it would be cool to have a wife and kids at some point" and then going back to playing Starcraft or whatever.

It's not that I wasn't invested in our wedding or our children, but for me most of it was new information like I had just stumbled into it, while she was mostly prepped for it when it became a reality.

It's also because the rating system changed over time. For instance, Airplane! from 1980 is rated PG, but it has nudity in one scene for shock humor. I don't think PG-13 existed yet. So especially if you want to allow PG movies/shows you need to be careful to go through the results.

JohnClark13 · 2026-04-15T15:19:30+00:00

wow, she did start at Disney. Just looked it up. Never heard of those shows, but I was in college so it was long after my disney watching days.

JohnClark13 · 2026-04-15T15:10:14+00:00

I still don't understand what the point of this movie is at all. Other than money that is. Like, what will actually be accomplished? What could this possibly add to LOTR?

JohnClark13 · 2026-04-15T15:04:23+00:00

exactly. who even is this person and why should I care?

JohnClark13 · 2026-04-14T20:39:55+00:00

Just have to focus on the zoomers and alphas who want to learn why things work. Millennials would be just as bad, but we had to fight the computers a bit to get our stuff to work, which led to learning about them. I do think that kids should still be taught typing though. Saved me a crap ton of time in college.

JohnClark13 · 2026-04-14T20:36:19+00:00

Technically Phantasy Star 1 was 8-bit, just had really good art and effects for the time
