I’ve had some good success just playing old games in a Windows XP virtual machine. Doesn’t need much resources and if you set up file share between your regular OS and your virtual machine, you can download the ISOs and load them as virtual disk drives. Easy peasy installation without any WINE configuration or emulators.

I loved Porsche unleashed. Played the absolute crap out of it and learned some German words!

Just goes to show how valuable data is. They’ll do anything to siphon it off you.

LLMs are seriously dope and the technology behind AI is incredible, but using it for everything isn’t appropriate. I’d like a place to ask a chatbot stuff. I don’t wanna be surrounded in it.

I just hate all the distractions and news clickbait stuff in the start menu. I use a computer to do tasks and browse media at my own discretion. Get the actual hell out of my face with forced infotainment consumption.

I’m proud of you! I recently bought a new laptop and it came with Windows 11. I heard all sorts of crap about it but I wanted to see for myself.

So many basic settings changes (that I’d use fairly often) went from 1-2 clicks to 3-5. They tried so hard to make it look like a mobile OS that they lowered its usability for anyone who doesn’t just use it as an express lane to Google Chrome.

Anyways rocking Ubuntu with Wayland and am happier to troubleshoot little bugs every now and then than put up with spyware.

Note to self: block porn so my future kids get employable skills.
