    I'm a windows user and I don't deny anything. I'm just too lazy to switch to Linux and I need the full functionality of Teams for my job.

    Christ a bit of paranoia would do modern internet users good, I still remember when it wasn't normal to have every single piece of identifying information online and readily available for anyone.

    The key is to have that infinite money glitch, aka be born rich and have parents that stay rich

    In all fairness paranoia is important in things like finding someone trying to slip a backdoor into xz. Going by the most recent Windows 11 update, Microsoft seems to be "we'll fix it in production".

    [–] [email protected] 16 points 2 days ago (2 children)

    Well it wasn't so much paranoia as obsession. The person who found it wasn't paranoid, they just went "Why is my connection taking a quarter of a second longer than it used to? This is unacceptable!!!"

    Technically they thought they might have introduced a bug that caused the delay / a regression and set about investigating it. Pretty sure it was a Microsoft developer too.

    Pretty sure it was a Microsoft developer too.

    Indeed it was, a PostgreSQL dev by the name of Andres Freund.

    If you've consistently only bought products from one company rather than buying the best product available, and never even bothered trying something else, then yes, you do seem to.

    I've used both of them, both professionally and personally, for some time.

    [–] [email protected] 13 points 2 days ago (2 children)

    Linux

    Have time to make everything work before doing anything

    Also I live in a river in Egypt bitch, guess which one first one guess doesn't count and you can't repeat guesses and only possible answers allowed..

    Also there's a camera recording everything I'm doing at all times that's somewhat accessible to hackers.

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

    First guess is "the Nile" second guess is "denial" , third guess is Sinai. Also, what the hell is that, an AI catcher?

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

    I don't know man. I was really bored and being silly and sucking at it.

    The idea is that there's only one river in Egypt. The Nile and denial was what I was going for, yes obviously, but that's not a river in Egypt. Egypt the denial isn't just play on words and then I kept on going because that's how I communicate

    Haven't tried Kart (and MarioKart too). How fun is that for a couple?

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

    Mario Kart can be fun depending on how your partner is with video games in general and how you are as a couple competitively. Overcooked can also be a good franchise as a coop game but I’ve also heard in some languages it’s referred to as “divorce kitchen” so your mileage may vary.

    Tuxkart is really great! One of the really good FOSS games, it has multiplayer and it even supports the wiimote :)

    There are much better kart games out there like Sonic All-Stars Racing Transformed, or Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled. Tuxkart does have a lot of user created tracks and you can make your own, so there is somewhat a draw for that.

    Don’t forget ~~bloodborne~~ nightmare kart

    [–] [email protected] 0 points 2 days ago

    Nightmare Kart is like playing Mario Kart for the first time again, or Chocobo Racing. Gave me nostalgia for a game I never played before.

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

    Thanks, I'd look into it.

    I think the real thing we need to do to attract windows users is have tuxkart installed by default.

    [–] [email protected] 57 points 2 days ago

    Tuxkart about to be a dependency for base

    from the linux sucks community?

    [–] [email protected] 16 points 2 days ago (1 children)
    [–] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

    From the main protagonist from Linux sucks, because I downvoted it and everything in that community and that idiot’s post history. Lol

    Just had a look. Weird choice of hill to die on

    [–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago

    Everyone needs a hobby, but definitely not a hill.
