Me with every new Linux installation:

My network looks like George Foreman’s kids names.

Anyway I use Ubuntu to make other Linux users mad. Stay mad, nerds.

¿Por qué no los dos?

Besmirching Elmo’s good name. 😞 Awful.

even Oscar the Grouch has cleaner hands than this whole admin, and that motherfucker lives in a garbage can.

Is there a particular reason you need an nvidia gpu? Like plans to do local LLMs or other projects that really require a nvidia gpu?

Because I am just so pleased with AMD for gpus in Linux. So simple.

Not knocking your choice, just trying to understand it. Everyone has valid reasons for why they choose their setups.

Edit: nevermind I am so confused by the new naming schemes I thought this was an nvidia, others have informed me its an AMD. Nevermind me I am a dingus.

The cost of making spambot AI reveal themselves in all caps rhyming poetry?

Priceless.

For everything else there’s Mastercard.

It feels odd/uncomfortable that we have AI governance working at credit card companies, but I guess you could do worse than someone who actually understands how to bait them.

Conservatives hate this one weird trick to get a dick!

Thank you Ted, that’s the joke.

systemdeez nuts!

That’s incredibly tragic. I might still be single, and I’ve dated some beautiful women, but none of them wanted to hurt me.

I can hear it in my head.

It’s a real post, but evidence suggests its a joke.

Only post by user and no response to any comments. Users of the sub seem to think it’s a joke.

Also, they can still offer the olde versions of the file for download.

Except in a lot of cases they really don’t.

But if they keep it updated for modern systems that means as time goes on the files they are offering to install… won’t work on old hardware because they’ve been updated to the modern era.

Sure if you grab a file from them and never get a newer, more maintained version, it will play on exactly the hardware and software you had when you bought it… But if you lost the install file somehow and went to grab a new copy five years later the updated ones may no longer run on your old hardware

They keep a bunch of 32-bit libraries for backwards compatibility with older games that they launch. You can find numerous discussions about this in the Steam forums as well as on sites like Hackernews.

If you want, I can give it to you from a Valve employee:

https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/179#issuecomment-267790879

We will not drop support for the many games that have shipped on Steam with only 32-bit builds, so Steam will continue to deploy a 32-bit execution environment. To that end, it will continue to need some basic 32-bit support from the host distribution (a 32-bit glibc, ELF loader, and OpenGL driver library).

Whether the Steam client graphical interface component itself gets ported to 64-bit is a different question altogether, and is largely irrelevant as the need for the 32-bit execution environment would still be there because of the many 32-bit games to support.

Maybe do some cursory research before talking out of your ass.

I need DOS Box

It’s Valve’s responsibility that Microsoft stripped DOS support from their OS in Windows 10?

Starting with Windows 10, the ability to create a MS-DOS startup disk has been removed, and so either a virtual machine running MS-DOS or an older version (in a virtual machine or dual boot) must be used to format a floppy disk, or an image must be obtained from an external source.

GoG also famously uses a model where GoG does not care what OS you’re using.

I could have sworn their model was keeping old games updated to work functionally on newer hardware.
