A few years ago I subscribed for a few months, but didn’t dive too deep. Is there still a social aspect to usenet these days or is it just file sharing? It would be great to find forums and such.

Pretty sure an SM57/58 could stand up to a Sherman

A few years ago, I went out and brought myself a nice pair of perscription sunglasses, trouble was I didn’t have any spare cash to buy regular glasses. So, for about 2-3 years I had shades on everywhere I went, day or night. What I noticed is that if you’re confident enough people don’t really mind or act any different. Now that I have both, I easily keep the sunglasses on without noticing and there is no fuss usually unless I go into a bank or something.

I have been exploring Marxist thinking deeply in the past but not for the past few years. True, it might be something to go back to sometime.

I feel a little bit like I was duped by ml. Chose it because the devs were here, but I haven’t thought about the top level domain until I saw their profile pictures. Now, I’m no stranger to leftist views, but I’m pretty far from being ml. I might switch if things get ugly, but I can take some minor stigma for a while longer.

I have a T14 gen1 ryzen 7 (only 16G of ram for now), with integrated graphics running bazzite. Civ 5 and 6, rimworld, FTL run flawlessly. Anno 1800 is a bit laggy, but playable. I also do some sim racing and no complaints there either, if graphics are set just right, so I think that the bar for hardware is pretty low. As for hardware, not sure what I’d go with, but I’m sure there is no need to go overboard. For software bazzite is amazing if you want near hassle free gaming.

As for accessories I have a keychron keyboard which was a worthwhile investment and a Mionix 3200 mouse that’s over 10 years old, still amazed at the build quality and value for money. A good keyboard mouse combo is invaluable.

Taylor, is that you?

I’m sorry, but could you please elaborate? I’m not being facetious, I truly don’t understand what she’s saying/doing.

Funny how CrowdStrike already sounds like some malware’s name.

Love the idea! Shopify as the highest tier sponsor? Not so much.

Not sure there will be any.

A Sherman tank

I have been using a t450 for the past 5 years as my only pc. For about 4 years I used Arch without any major issues, but my “optimizations” became too much to maintan. For the past year I’ve been using Kinoite and it’s brilliant.

Everything runs good enough out of the box and in my daily use I haven’t noticed that I’m running a 9 year old machine. I even play games that should have no business running on that crusty old thing. Also, the stability is divine.

I say, ducktor! Ain’t there nothin’ I can take?

The hypersub sounds difficult, but it’s really easy. I know you are hungry now, but it’s worth it to wait a few years. We’ll make enough hypersubs for everyone by 2028.

Groovy

I always found the difference between general and special whativity fascinating.

“4 stands for the 24th century” so… just a couple of centuries until another y2k style panic?
