The game Myst actually worked kind of like a DVD menu with more options.

Gnome works like that too- double click on the TTF/OTF and you get a window with a preview of the font and an install button.

I was pretty lucky in university as most of my profs were either using cross platform stuff or Linux exclusive software. I had a single class that wanted me using windows stuff and I just dropped that one.

Awesome that you're getting back into it, it's definitely the best it's ever been (and you're right that Steam cracked the code). It sounds like you probably know what you're doing if you're running Linux VMs and stuff, but feel free to shoot me a PM if you run into any questions or issues I might be able to point you in the right direction for.

I've been running Linux exclusively since 2001 or so. It was rough around the edges back then, but it was useful enough for what I needed.

You had to choose a good distro on that note; redhat, mandrake, etc broke on me so many times, and I was only able to fully switch after finding slackware, which was rock solid.

I had Linux on my laptop 20 years ago. The SD card reader didn't work, and it couldn't sleep (was sleep a thing for any laptop back then? I can't remember). It did work though!

Earlier today I googled how to toggle full screen in dosbox-x and the AI-generated answer said to use alt+enter. Tried it and it didn't work, so I look in the documentation and it turns out that they changed it to F12+f a while ago (probably to avoid interfering with actual dos input).

This is definitely already a problem.

Libertarianism is a traditionally left wing philosophy that started in the 1800s. They're also typically pretty big on human rights and equality.

The more modern America-centric "tea party" libertarians fit what you're saying, but they didn't create the term.

I never thought about it before, but that might actually be the case eh? You don't talk to Canadian border security on your way out.

Oh I see, so these are the same ads you'd see on the official broadcast too?

That's crazy, it sounds like a whole business! I guess there are probably more costs and risks associated with live streaming that warrant the income stream, compared to uploading a movie to some torrent tracker.

Where are you seeing ads in pirated content?

"Name one person that died of cancer who never received a vaccine for anything. That's what I thought!"
