I used to work in IT forensics - there’s nothing that will ever be worse than the things I saw there. People are freaking scary.

But outside work I’ve seen my part of shit, puke and other strange fetish videos, and people being blown up or driven down - being on the internet in the early days sort of made you numb to those things.

I will say that I saw a paper cut fetish video once. That shit hurt through the monitor.

Is this a screenshot of a post with a screenshot of a post? We ARE going to need a software engineer it seems.

Or even make it till 20:57

Thanks for the feedback - I’ve installed Pop OS tonight and installed bnet, wow, unreal engine, rocket league and steam.

Battle.net had a few problems because of the host file, and Vulkan apparently needed some fiddling - but at apart from that, I must say everything runs smoothly.

I look forward to test a lot of things deeper - but for now it very much seems like an experience I could get used to.

You’re right - but I’d say things on newer windows versions are pretty much out of the box. It may ask for driver installs, but that’s often just pressing a confirmation box.

It’s not that I’m afraid of the technical stuff - I am a windows sys admin and software developer. I just have bad memories of hours of getting drivers to work on Linux. I’m sure, that if I make the change and are happy, eventually I’ll take a deeper dive. But it takes a good first time impression to get there.

Thanks for the answer - I’ve usually just gone with Ubuntu. Would that still be the recommended distro for gaming?

Apart from wow and flight sim, I play rocket league, satisfactory, old school monkey island (and other point and click games) and FIFA from time to time and I make small game projects in unreal engine.

I really want to switch to Linux, but I’ve been told this before and then ended up spending hours trying to get everything to work, and usually give up … but it’s been a couple of years since I tried the last time, so is this the right time?

I have zero interest in the technical parts of Linux or setting things up. I want things to work out if the box. I may have to dual boot because of WoW and MS Flight Sim, but if everything else works it may be worth it.

Edit: wow thanks for the answers. You may have convinced me to try again.

For some reason the dollar symbol annoys me so much - I’m fine with underscore and asterisk, but I’ve never found a good flow with the dollar sign.

Most programming languages uses = to copy a value into whatever whatever you put on the left side. You did it with TooClose, which you set to true.

But when you compare values as you do with the if statement, you need another operator, otherwise CanReadThis will be set to true and the if statement will always run (or syntax error), making it unnecessary.

Compare operators are typically == and/or === and some languages uses their own like ‘eq’ or other exciting ways.

Languages and compilers works in different ways, but your program could look like this. (When comparing a Boolean you don’t need the operator, you can just write the variable since it’s either true or false)

If (CanReadThis) { TooClose = true; }

Let it snow, Let it snow…

And a hot stone massage?

Or you would have a firewire 🤷🏽‍♂️

And most a fine with it…

Now that’s a name I haven’t heard in a looong time…

No - but you can connect to two routers at the same time, because then the waves will amplify each other making the signal stronger.

It’s an inside scone!

To rid the feed of Elon news we now have a stickied post with Elon news. I feel like there’s a meme hidden there somewhere.
