Give it another shot. It was legitimately cancelled too soon.

And if you watch it you'll feel your dream come alive at last, you will touch the sky. And they're not going to hold you down no more, no, they're not gonna change your mind. Because you'll have faith of the heart, strength of the soul.

I'm bugged by decontamination gel.

Why is it so randomly used? Why doesn't Shran have to use it ever? Did Phlox have to rub it on all of his animals? What's in it?

I don't disagree with you.

All I want is for some objective statements about different distros. Like tell me what distro is a full time job to maintain. Tell me what distro is sending me to the command line all of the time. Give me some basic functionality benchmarks (search time, opening a browser and boot time) on a low, mid and high end computer.

The best way to describe those books is "subtle."

I loved them, and translation state feels like the start of a new series in the same universe. The worst part is how often Anaander Mianaai is written and how that many 'a's just fail to compute in my head.

Because it is.

Left click on zombie has better graphics, and that's it.

For me Dwarf fortress is like watching TV, nethack is like reading a book.

I feel like I'll watching some bizarre sitcom with such great stories as "dwarven child sees an elephant trample a goblin and then gets possessed, keeps making bone carvings of the scene, and then gathers all the elephant meat in a forge and kills three grown men by slapping them with meat." I'm not anyone in that story, but it's fun to watch.

Nethack is like getting to know the quirks of your character as they narrowly escape death.

Fuck Microsoft, switch to Linux

Absolutely. But I wouldn't hold my breath on companies actually stopping use of MS.

My team recently finished the PDR for an astroid lander, this picture is surprisingly accurate.

Why not just come out and say "hey I 3D sculpt orcs, toss me $2 a month for orcs"?

I'm sure no one wants this to turn into a people pushing their personal stores, but that's a rad orc and you aren't anywhere close to spamming yet.

If you think it's crazy your school uses three year old programs wait until you find out how many businesses are running XP!

Didn't Microsoft lose a large anti trust court case about this shit for internet explorer?

Yes and no.

MS made Internet explorer uninstallable and made it even if you could install Netscape you couldn't set it as the default app. Forcing teams to open ~~internet explorer~~ edge is more in line with iPhones and Android. Both phone OSs will let you install different browsers, but opening links from most 1st party apps opens safari or chrome with no real way to change it. It's one of the worst things about phones and now MS is trying to move Windows that direction.

It's going to get worse. Once corporations start to adopt edge MS will move to make browser office the only office. Clicking a .doc in edge will redirect to browser word 365. Saving already defaults to the cloud, soon we'll have "virtual downloads" that save your download to your cloud and you can only meaningfully interact with it via edge.

We need more legislation and regulations allowing software choice for all platforms. We've never been allowed to own software, now we can't even buy a perpetual license. Soon we won't be allowed to have a copy of software saved on our devices, and files made by that software won't be allowed on our computers either.
