Endorkend, to memes in introverts will understand

Yeah, that's it, I'm GenX, but I actually had a PC in the home as early as I can remember, got my own by age 8 and build my own age 10.

That's how some of these generational boundaries blur together, where the experience that defines one, can already have been part of the previous in specific circumstances.

And personally, I've VERY interested in seeing 10 years down the line when we have the first adults who grew up with on-demand streaming and tablets/phones.

When I was a child, they shoved a picture book in my hands to keep me entertained while sitting still.

Now, you give them a tablet and they can watch YouTube or cartoons, right in their hands.

Really wonder what difference this kind of thing will cause.

I have varicose veins on my legs and I'd love to have arms like that because they itch a lot.

Endorkend, to linux in Noob question: what to arrange before switching to linux
@Endorkend@kbin.social avatar

If you plan on using something like Gentoo, building Gentoo and running it in a VM a couple times tends to be a smart play.

I've been using Gentoo for ages, as I'm a stickler for stripping down everything to its bare minimum and even I tend to first have a couple runs at building and running it on new hardware, from within a VM.

Going in knowing the intimate details of the hardware you use is always going to be a big plus.

Endorkend, to privacy in what E-Mail provider do you use and why
@Endorkend@kbin.social avatar

I'm oldschool.

I've had my own domains and mail servers for the past 3 decades and will maintain them for as long as I live.

And these days, all but the storage runs of Pi3, so it's barely using any power either.

Endorkend, to memes in what the fuck does that mean

It's a meme

Who woulda thought that being posted in /m/memes!

Both Windows and Linux do a rather fantastic job at restoring your desktop to its previous state if you ever reboot.

And in Windows, if you use Powertoys, the options to do so grow even more.

Endorkend, to piracy in How do companies know if I use cracked software or assets for my personal gig?
@Endorkend@kbin.social avatar

Because pirated versions will be running a VLK license while there is no VLK subscription on file or run a KMS software to fake the authentication of licenses.

Or in some cases, just run pure unlicensed and Windows will tell you on the desktop itself that the copy is unlicensed.

If inspected, you have to prove you have the correct licenses.

In some cases you'll be allowed to just buy the licenses there and then, but if you've been running dozens of unlicensed copies or dozens of straight up illegal copies (with faked/cracked/stolen licenses), they'll put the hammer down and you'll be audited in detail to the point they'll end up billing AND fining you for every piece of software you've used in your entire history.
