The rental car agencys in Austria and Germany had a huge amount of those. They didn’t sell well because of the optics, but if you needed a replacement car because yours broke down, they were awesome and always in stock.

Tbh, with stuff like Winget and the respective GUI apps the process for installing or upgrading software is pretty much the same nowadays.

I just hope that Trump’s miserable health gets the better of him before he gets the chance to backstab the whole of the western world. As shitty as Vance may be, he comes across as much less in love with Putin than Trumpler.

I’m running Nobara, so the basics like wine, Nvidia drivers … are already set up OOTB. There are multiple ways, but i like the way Lutris does it:

• Click on “Add a game”
• Select “Install Windows Game from an executable”
• give it a name, if you use the name identifier as it is used on lutris.net you get the box art automatically
• click through, select install/prefix directory, select setup.exe file
• install as normal, install on the c: drive (only thing to note is if the game is using stuff like .net or vc runtimes then don’t install them and just remember which ones you will need)
• If runtimes are needed: run “winetricks” to add those, if you want to install patches: use “run exe inside wine prefix” (both are in the menu next to the Windows-logo Button)
• Play Game

Heroic Launcher’s installation is a bit more streamlined, but i found Lutris can do more stuff - i don’t know if i would have managed to mod my (owned) Battletech installation (BTA3062) so easily with Heroic. (involved setting a bunch of Envvars and dll overrides)

If any of those who pirate PC games are reading here: for now all my pillaged goods are working fine on Steam Deck and on Desktop Linux.

Mine is named Igor, like Dr. Frankensteins minion :-)

In my experience it’s often simply expected by companys that the worker just knows this stuff because many GenX/Millenials just know their ways around that, but GenZ/Alpha are in general more knowledgeable about the functions of their smartphones than any desktop applications. It will take some time until HR departments start screening their applicants for stuff like Office knowledge (again - they used to 2 generations ago)

I just remember having a blast playing Resident Evil 4 with the Wiimote for targeting.

Grim Dawn (currently playing Community Season 7! check it out @ https://grimdawnleague.com/, Dead Cells and Terraria (and most of that time unmodded - i just love building cozy or not so cozy homes).

From what i can see here, the USA are currently socially regressing from Bioshock 1 to Bioshock Infinite.

Greebo, Lauser, Schlingel, Zorro, Flauschi, TinkTink.

I now have to get cuddled by my cats.

Fully agree - Boobs look and feel nice, but ass is what gets me going

As i am currently cursed with a cold myself…

I HATE COLDS

i would rather have a broken leg or something, everytime some stupid virus finds my its way into my nose i am a fucking wreck for 4 days, while my wife just shrugs off the same goddamn virus with ease.

She’s always laughing at me when i have a cold, because it really fucks me up beyond all recognition. she simply cannot understand why a bit of a cold has such a profound effect on men.

neither can i.

I’m sure you downloaded a few system builder Windows ISOS too you smug bastard 🤭

i agree, they do deliver pretty good researched articles. it’s the only news site that gets monthly donations from me, and i’m not even interested in podcasts

just wanted to drop that for the selfhosters there is https://fediseer.com/ which provides an API (which makes getting a crowdsourced and up to date whitelist easy)

My second cat ever loved soy sauce, his sister French fries from McDonalds and vanilla flavoured protein pudding.

In the current cat generation: the oldest does love to take a bite or two from sourdough bread, and another one likes nutella (which is poison for him; he isn’t the smartest one if it wasn’t obvious)

I talked with my wife about this a few days ago. Education and economic issues have a huge influence on this.

If you have issues with the huge complexity of the world around you (because of functional illiteracy) or cannot spend some time to form your own opinions (because of economical insecurity and long hours, kids make it even harder), you don’t have the capacity to engage with messsages more complex than “immigrants bad” or “Eggs expensive” - stuff that you process emotionally, not intellectually.

I think that’s what made Obama’s campaign so powerful - everything boiled down to the simple one word message “Change”.
