I used to have a room dedicated to retro games and tech, but since having kids, it’s all been crammed into closets. Once they’re old enough to not break stuff, I plan to get the “museum” out again in some form so that they can enjoy it.

Did some digging and found these:

A zoomed in screenshot from this meme

a cutout of the doge edit

and what I assume was the original source image

I’ll be there soon.

That’s where I am, although it’s only been a few months. It’s nice.

Reminds me of:

Thanks! I wonder if I will ever reach that level of privacy paranoia. At the rate that I’m going, maybe 5 years.

“His fucking kernel is deblobbed too?”

As a noob, I genuinely can’t tell if this is real jargon or not

Nothing beats those old ascii art guides. When you’re playing an old game, you know they won’t let you down.

Poor thing…

I think he DMs them the real one privately.

That’s the one you frame over the mantle.

That’s so much money. It’s immensely frustrating that any assistance programs we come up with ultimately become a massive wealth transfer to big companies.

SNAP, subsidized student loans/forgiveness, Medicaid/Medicare, etc. The market will just happily absorb the free taxpayer money and then still raise prices on everyone because of the increased demand.

Pretty sure they just pay you in smiles and giggles at that age. I’m not sure of the conversion rate though.

Support right to repair legislation!

This is good to hear. I also have a cheap Pi that I’m not currently using for anything. Maybe I should figure out a job for it too.

To be fair, I’m a complete noob and don’t know if what I have is too weak or overkill. I just figured that it’s a 12 year old computer and might be worse than what others are using.

Will do, thanks! I haven’t even thought about the power consumption yet. Hmm… maybe I’ll do some math once a power bill comes back to bite me.

What is your current distro?

I’m not sure what this means yet, but I’ll try to remember when it comes up, thanks. The PC I plan on using is fairly old - a 2013 build with a 770.
