I'll only buy Brother printers now. The print quality is pretty good and they just work on my Linux desktop.

My boss has been looking for new technicians since I joined but has had no luck. His excuse is the classic "Nobody wants to work", but then I saw what he's paying for entry level for the positions. It's so low you're better off working at McDonalds or slinging Amazon packages bad.

One of our customers has a Lenovo with an i7 10th gen and 16gb of memory. Booting up takes about 5 minutes on an NVMe drive and using our application, based on Microsoft Access, takes literal years to save an entry.

Windows can fucking die in a hotel fire.

I never stopped. Streaming services are such a joke.

I love Blue Dream. It's the perfect blend of "Holy shit I'm high" and not being couch-locked.

Agreed. I wish people would stop caring how others spend their money or what app they use. I thought we left this shit on Reddit.

The only reason I have Netflix is because I get it through T-Mobile as a last resort. Fuck the state of streaming content. Raise the pirate flag boys!

Minecraft. When I started out it was fine but when I began to get regular visitors I got DDOSed for days on end and people poking me for ssh access. Never again.

Are you on X11 or Wayland? Steam has crap support for Wayland

I joined and ran many clans growing up but my first was in Rainbow Six: Rouge Spear. I spent many of hours sniping on bunkers and swearing at each other over Teamspeak. One guy I met took me under his wing and showed me all about each level. The mod scene was pretty good too, granted you had to manually install the mod locally or the server wouldn't let you in.

My most memorable game was America's Army. The challenge of the gameplay really drew me and my RL friends in and we ended up making a clan. We liked it so much we rented a legit server so we could get honor on our own turf. Between us and the players coming in it was some of my best time on a shooter.

Just for sheer amount of hours, Counter Strike 1.6 reigns supreme. I remember when I first saw my America's Army friends playing it and was in awe. The movement was janky compared to America's Army, but had way faster gameplay and more weapons. At first I had trouble getting the hang of it and it took a while but eventually I could somewhat keep up with them.

Needless to say, I got zero sleep as a kid.

The second I visited lemmy it immediately felt like the reddit of old. Damn it feels good to be back to basics.

Castle Crashers. It's a classic side scroll beatemup with RPG elements. I've beaten it a few times both solo and with friends.

I love our Arris modem. It's definitely rock solid.

Weapons Cache and Pipeline all day!

Yes

Best: I get to see a lot of aerospace stuff being manufactured.

Worst: The owner's wife is a dumb bitch.

Kubuntu 22.04. All my games run like butter without much tinkering. I learned most of my Linux stuff on Debian or Ubuntu in the early days and most of what I need comes in .deb form.

They weren't asking, I was getting spammed with attempts. I changed the ports and locked down my server. In the end I switched to VPS's.

"Bomb has been planted.." Shit.
