It was an Apple ii I think and Star Trek of some sort. ASCII based graphics and words. Idk I was 6. Didn’t have a clue what I was doing. It was on my bio father’s computer. He used it as a way to distract me while Mom and him argued over child support. Last time I saw him thankfully. But at least I have that memory of trying to catch a “k”
Fuck I’m getting old.

halfwaythere@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•America Is Missing Out on the Best Electric Cars: Whatever kind of EV you might want, chances are China has it.English12426·2 years agoProbably not a well received opinion but the amount of China promoting drivel that goes on here in lemmy is astounding.
I have my lights set to turn on slightly before I am supposed to wake, turn off after I go to work, before I return from home, and after I go to bed. I’ve recently added mmwave sensors to turn them on and off based on my presence within a room. I can do all kinds of automations that I could do manually sure but if I don’t need to and can minimize the amount of excess energy waste then why wouldn’t I want a wirelessly controlled switch and or lights?
And yes most everyone can do this. Google Home Assistant and get lost in the rabbit hole.

And your reference to “after the shooting” implies that the shooter just blasted a few people stopped and put his gun away and started playing cards or some shit. Not that the patrons that stopped the idiot could be the reason that “after the shooting” happened at all!? I will never understand the mindset of this bubble you live in.

Just look what happened to Sony owners and the content they paid hard earned money for on their consoles. Microsoft and Nintendo are not outliers here. The PCMR “weirdness” the guy above was complaining about is also not walled off from this bullshit. Thanks to Microsoft.
However PCs have a solid chance with gaming becoming more and more embraced by the Linux community.

When two people are playing chicken then it is normal when only one person is playing chicken that person is up to no good.

Thank you. Guess I didn’t go through all the settings when I got back in the rocket.
Same. Also would like an option to have a NSFW blur button on the main menu instead of having to go “deep” in the menus to turn on and off.
halfwaythere@lemmy.worldto Linux@lemmy.world•Why does the Steam Deck use Arch Linux?English1·2 years agoHave a project that I may have to go donw this route. Haven’t touched Arch in many years so I’d figure it be more “stable”. Didn’t know if there were inherent issues. Doesn’t sound like there is just basic maintenance. Thanks for explaining.
Not sure about an icon or flag to depict the idea of announcing Hey I’m For Privacy!! Feels like it goes against the whole principle. It’s along the same lines of stickers on a vehicle, stick family tells (most times) exactly how many people and animals w/types are within the household, gun logos indicate a high probability of an abundance of weaponry, a privacy flag may promote someone to look deeper into you with the premise well they want privacy so they must have something to hide, mentality. I’m private I don’t need to draw attention to me being private. But you do you. Just my opinion.
