You aren’t trying to suggest that experienced Linux users are a bunch of arrogant fart-sniffing a-holes who expressly enjoy gate-keeping inexperienced users by being as condescending and unhelpful as possible?

You can always bring a second controller for redundancy. I would bet money the game controller had zero impact on the failure and I hate all the shade being thrown on this innocent controller.

The game controller is not managing life critical functions, that’s called a computer. The game controller plugs into the computer. The great thing about that is that you can bring a second (or even a third) game controller for redundancy.

It’s just that the engineering choices that caused the failure are difficult to understand or communicate in sentence so the game controller is something any idiot can harp on about and sound smart.

Nationalize Boeing now

Like those ass massaging power chairs.

I have a monochrome brother laser/fax that is old af. I don’t mess with color because like you said if I want photos printed I’m going to get the big-boy printer at the store to do it.

When I first got to Reddit a front page post was like 1000 upvotes so Lemmy is approximately sorta the same level of users as when I first got to Reddit

I hope the fediverse attracts enough adoption to make it long term viable. I am making an effort to be here more than there for lemmy/Reddit but YouTube is still harder to quit

I happily pay for my email service from Proton to compensate for all the data mining they AREN’T doing to me

Protonmail is fine for searching old emails and they have their own calendar integration. I self host calDAV for my own calendar so I cannot comment on protonmail’s other cloud services but I’m happy enough with their email service that I subscribe yearly for it.

That’s the downside of not getting data mined, you need to pay for these services. Setting up a private cloud is not impossible for a derp like me but a private email server is definitely well beyond my skillset so that’s something I pay for.

I’ve had like three primary email accounts since the dawn of the popular internet in the 90’s

The first was Hotmail because that was a big deal at the time.

The second was google because the interface was slick and it came with (what was at the time) a lot of free storage.

The third is protonmail specifically because after decade+ on Google I realized they pretty much have the keys to the kingdom on my life’s data. All my personal relationships and business being filtered through their inbox for a long-ass time. Just because they “know me” inside out for a significant part of my life doesn’t mean I gotta just keep feeding them data indefinitely.

Some try-hard wants to reinvent the wheel to show what a cutting-edge “disruptor” they can be, but they only succeed in making a shittier version of an already extant product

Personally I would enjoy spending $100k+ to get to be the beta tester for a half-baked product

pffft good luck getting my brain organoids to do your bidding… I am deeply tarded

I have three VMs running concurrently on a decade+ old Dell T7500.

Even elderly enterprise stuff can do this.
