Yes.

This is why I couldn’t have a time machine. I’d go back in time and fuck with people. Leave a modern day Bic pen deep in a cave in New Zealand, or a randomly shaped object with no clear use made from something like titanium in a forest in the middle of Brazil.

It’s like Gabe said (paraphrased): “Piracy is a service problem, not a pricing problem.”

Make it easy to buy stuff and people will. But the more barriers you put up, the more people will pirate. Granted, there are persons like you (and I counted among those at one point) who cannot afford things from time-to-time, but we’re a minority. Every game I’ve ever pirated from those days I have made sure to purchase once I was able to.

Make it available for easy purchase and people will buy it.

Plus now there’s an installation script that is really good for basic installs. Takes about 10 minutes now.

It usually takes about 8 seconds.

I looked at it, and found it to be good.

I got mine last January and it’s been pretty much flawless on Arch with KDE and Wayland. No regrets whatsoever. Battery life is probably the only weakness, but I also push my stuff hard. Overall, I’m super satisfied with the choice.

Hell yeah. I was in the hospital recently for some heart stuff. I kept the socks cuz they’re comfy.

The oldest hardware I’m still using is an Intel Core i5-6500 with 48GB of RAM running our Palworld server. I have an upgrade in the pipeline to help with the lag, because the CPU is constantly stressed, but it still will run game servers.

I love pictures of scrungy cats.

Honestly, who doesn’t?

She’s probably being made to take a bath.

I think we all did. I had both Transformers and Ninja Turtles toys.

And here I am taking off my entire birthday week off like a rube.

I mean, yeah compared to what a lotta people can make with many commercial printers.

Pretty sure they’re just slightly higher quality 3D printed vinyl figures. Probably cost pennies to make.

You got it.

Not much really. Maybe being able to download random exes for silly shit, but I could always spin up a VM for that.
