Grass,

Either windows 95 or 98 I used to play this game my mom set up for me but doesn’t remember. Now she needs my help to plug in a USB cable but somehow has a job that uses software and procedures too complicated for me… Anyway I can remember if it was entirely this or just part of it, but the memorable part was the sliding puzzles, like the ice caves in Pokemon. The character might have had skates or something but it’s a vague memory that could be wrong.

Grass,

I watched the videos on the store page and that totally is it. Thanks everyone who suggested this.

Grass,

That might be it. The images seem to be a similar aesthetic at least. I’ll have to see if I can get it running on something and try it.

Grass,

Alpine. I actually really like it, but it just doesn’t fit any of my use cases.

Grass,

Is it a very demanding service to run?

Grass,

I didn’t try pfsense but it sounded like opnsense suited me better and I have had no reason to change so far. It has also made managing my self host stuff so much easier but a lot of it is pending being redone with more future proofing.

Grass,

This one didn’t age quite as poorly as some of the others. I have gotten to the point of generally preferring Linux gaming now though. Bsd is still a bit lacking for my general computing but opnsense on my router is one of those ‘where has this been all my life?’ things.

Grass,

Patently false

Grass,

When I worked at a store we had two sizes of shipping cart and they couldn’t interlock but people would force it anyway or back them in to engage the coin latch. The cart sheds became a total mess and the store was too understaffed and the manager often ended up doing the cars, badly, in favor of pulling people off indoors cleaning or w.e. I often left the cart over a parking separator brick so it can’t roll into cars, but doesn’t add to the jumbled mess in the shed.

Grass,

More head office but yeah. They also changed the checkouts from Linux to windows and decided self checkouts could only have one human attendant.

Grass,

I just want a modern AMD apu laptop with coreboot, slotted ram and multiple nvme slots, but like everything these days it would seem I’m asking for too much.

Grass,

Mind the gap

Grass,

Some of the stations have a frighteningly large gap. I didn’t take it seriously until I almost fell in one.

Grass,

I would if the particular hardware had no inherent or user caused issues and the price was reasonable compared to other purchase candidates, but it rarely is. It would also need to be Linux compatible too because the os has always been insufferable and praised by insufferable people that need something to feel superior about with zero justification.

The PowerPC days were pretty crap though even though the hardware was visually pleasing. Nobody made PowerPC compatible software. This time I guess apple is paying fees to arm and at least has arm compatibility. x86 is irritating in its own right too. Man, tech has gone in all sorts of shitty directions.

Grass,

I wouldn’t say hated, but definitely possessing of many ui/UX choices that were about as well thought out as how windows had old/new control panel plus the new new settings app and yet everything was still counterintuitive. I merely gave it a chance repeatedly because I ran a computer business up until covid hit and needed basic familiarity, and people kept telling me it was better than everything else and really if you don’t game it mostly is for many workloads, but I still found things to be rather clunky especially system navigation on iOS. Not saying android is better or anything either because while it suits me more, there is so much infuriating dumb shit.

Basically because of every other offering feeling like it’s ripping me off, Linux being free and having tons of customization beyond simply cosmetic and several people making different solutions to each problem most of the time and also free, coming back to anything else with any combination of hardware, software, and money entry barriers just feels like the worst value proposition possible. Maybe if I was born into wealth and a social media addict I would have been an apple fanboy.

Grass,

This but also the infinite fatigue

Grass,

They make enough money off nitro and shit to not care. Everything becomes worse when they start making money

Grass,

I did 10 hour shifts 1 hour or 1 hour banked for a few years from 4am. The latest start time to avoid being stuck behind a 4 day long train and get home before traffic hits standstill for hours that worked for everyone that needed to be on site for the same shifts. Probably something similar I’d say because while the shifts were different in later jobs many featured seasonal meetings to discuss adjusting the shift times for the same reasons.

    Grass,

    I get what you are talking about but this is a bad example. The first post is simply incorrect. Driver issues are few and far between unless you are using hardware made by companies that specifically avoid using standards for the sake of capitalism, or software from devs that either are just as opinionated and insufferable as the Linux users that socials like to shit on or from devs that only care about every keystroke making them money.

    Ableton doesn’t care about Linux because it doesn’t make enough money, the drivers part if they actually said that, is most likely an assumption or lie they made because it would end the support ticket and not cost the company anything.

    People buy software like Ableton from single platform or win/Mac only devs, have a bad time and say “Linux isn’t ready” or some dumb shit like that, then people see it and think “I want to be a musician, so Linux is bad for me” or something. Meanwhile the other options in the replies work on everything, and back when I didn’t have to work all the time to barely survive at least, all of them felt significantly more intuitive than the big name industry standards. Ableton wasn’t the worst I tried but definitely a ripoff compared to a lot of other options, which also ran on Linux which is a huge selling point for us ackshully bros. Pro tools can fuck right off though.

    Really though if someone in music industry is doing it for work and is locked in without choice to a software that doesn’t work on Linux, then they should just become a Mac fanboy and lock in more. Music on windows has been shit from way back and still is. A bunch of the coolest music gadgets lose partial functionality or performance on windows because m$ sucks ass at sound. Linux audio has a long history of also being shit but it has mostly left the cesspool depending on distro maintainers.

    Music is such a money pit though. I like it as a hobby or pastime but for work I would be… well realistically just as depressed as my current and past lines of work.

    Grass,

    Schmegelvin, every time.

    Grass, (edited )

    I wanted the old mo creatures mod with the joust ostritches. If only I could get some time of work not spent cooking or cleaning or getting hounded by friends to join whatever game they are into at the time. I should bring my laptop to work and do it on break I guess.

    Grass,

    I’d just play mineclone 2 or one of the not Minecraft cube voxel games at that point

    Grass,

    There are surely native totp apps for this on Linux and I haven’t used Ubuntu in a million years but if you really want to do specifically this maybe waydroid.

    Grass,

    Any tl:dw/r? Can’t sound rn and word by word captions shouldn’t exist. I can read the whole sentence in the time between words popping up…
