For the lazy:

Shadow of Chernobyl

Call of Pripyat

There’s was free upgrade from 7->8/10 as well, that doesn’t make it a rolling release.

Good podcast episode:

Better Offline - William Lazonick on How The Stock Market Killed Tech

William Lazonick is an economist. In this live recording Ed Zitron is joined by William Lazonick, professor emeritus of economics at the University of Massachusetts, who is also the co-founder and president of the Academic-Industry Research Network, to talk about how the incentives of shareholder capitalism and stock buybacks are destroying innovation.

They also said Windows 10 would go rolling release. They don’t really deserve anyone’s business for any product.
I’m not going to sit here, wag my finger, and preach the gospel of Linux. I find that kinda cringe. I use Linux, and if people ask for a recommendation I’ll happily give my opinion.
Don’t really see the point in standing on a soapbox and yelling at passersby that they’re sheeple or whatever, doesn’t really help make anyone want to switch, just like having someone yell at me to repent or burn in hell.
It’s a bad look.

Sure it’s a bit crazy, but it’s really not as crazy as you seem to feel. That’s just the way expansive, fancy gfx games are going.

Baldur’s Gate 3 is 150gb, so not really.

Bazzite is also immutable though…

Hard agree with you. I don’t own a handheld, but have friends with steamdecks and a friend who has an ROG Ally. My buddy installed Linux on his ally, and the experience is objectively worse than the steamdeck.

Eh, probably. Linux Nvidia drivers kinda suck

I thought it was the gas station meth

Narrator: a public beta is just an advertisement way to not pay for proper QA

Nope, if you look, this is pretty standard.

We’re going to try a few rounds of Private, then try for a surrogate, and then adopt/foster. We’d ideally like one of ours, but we know there’s loads of kids that need a stable home.

Prayed too hard

Maybe it’s time for me to find religion…

Yeah, over in the UK(depending on what country) if you’re under 40 you get 2-4(?) rounds on the NHS. But due to the pandemic, and us moving to Scotland from London, my wife turned 40 before we were able to be seen. Our one round had two embryos, one botched implant because the clinic was adamant that they implant unfrozen, despite the hormones from up/down regulation for egg retrieval causing such massive inflammation for my wife that it took an hour and a half to implant(should be less than 10 minutes.) The second embryo failed before it could be implanted. So now we’re going for private in Athens. Even with last minute flights, last minute accommodation and transport costs while we’re there, it’ll be £3000-£4000 cheaper than going private here in Scotland.
And even then we’re looking at remortgaging our house to afford it. We’re by no means poor. What was it my wife called us…DINKs? Dual Income, No Kids. And we own the house we live in outright thanks to her parents buying at the right time, and her inheriting early enough to avoid any excess taxes. But we have basically no disposable income. In one hand, out the other.

Anyway, I hope for all the best with you two. It’s an absolute motherfucker. If you’ll pardon my french…

We watched a bit, it was good, but hit to close to home for the Mrs.

I’m 38, wife is 40, absolutely heartbreaking. We’ve been trying for 5 years, went to the NHS for IVF, but because of the pandemic we “aged out” of multiple rounds. The one go we had didn’t result in pregnancy, and if we can’t conceive with as many rounds as we can afford private were planning to adopt. Which is pretty difficult in the UK actually.
