Balls right now. Just balls.

Nobody:

Russia: Imma turn every government in the world fascist!

What could go wrong?

No matter how much we loved XP we always knew that shit was ugly.

C’mon guys. Escape, colon q bang. It practically exits itself.

I’d like to see somebody float a bill to allow firearms to be carried without restriction in the U.S. Senate and House. Not just the members, the people. After all, it’s the people’s house isn’t it MAGAts? Bunch of flaming hypocrites, it would never make it to the floor and you’d never hear about it.

Wow, you even corrected the fonts. Splendid work!

Hey I’ve spent… checks Steam… 120 hours on Grim Dawn, I’ll complain about it as much as I want!

I have one of each. I guess I’m Chaotic Evil.

Solaris? The OS that shipped with nothing installed, not even a compiler? Yeah, it was like, so great.

I could hear this.

If I can’t find something I want to pirate, I will sometimes break down and buy it, but always in physical media, which I immediately rip into my collection. I don’t use physical media, it’s too inconvenient, but I’ll be damned if I’m going to pay some megacorp so I can rent media and pretend I’m actually buying it.

I found a better quality image of this photo but I still don’t have any idea what the hell is going on

I actually believe he’s just plain dumb - he’s never had to improve himself and wasn’t too bright to begin with. But he has something that is hard to come by.

That culty gift of gab. He utterly captivates huge swaths of people with just his speaking cadence alone. Granted, he’s not captivating them because there is any actual substance to his words. But people are dumb as dogshit. That he has money and peripherally gives lip service to supporting their political causes is really only secondary. He speaks to them and it’s impossible to not notice it.

That shit is worth gold. Note that everyone is pretty much in agreement that if he dropped dead tomorrow the cause would suffer a potentially irreparable blow, because there isn’t anyone else in the party that has what he has. Very, very few people do. Anybody think Don Jr. could pull that off? No fuckin’ way.

So Trump is extremely valuable right now because he is able to get all these people to turn off what few critical thinking skills they possess while the party’s powers-that-be quietly lay the real groundwork for dictatorship. Once that groundwork is fully cemented, it will not matter who the autocrat is in charge, he will be a figurehead.

Truthfully in a technical aspect: somewhat. But USENET is also largely unmoderated. So for the purposes of meaningful discussion, there is little comparison.

For anyone who wants to do this, use Kill Windows Update. It’s simple. and it works. There’s several million reasons why conventional wisdom demands that you NOT do it, but I don’t give a fuck and if you don’t either, then this program is for you.

I remain unimpressed.

wheeze

Make sure you transfer the OS off the memory card though, they eventually corrupt if you run the OS off them.

I’ve been running my 3B’s OS off the card since 2018, lol.

I gotta keep it plugged into a UPS because if it loses power it kills it and I have to reinstall which is a PITA, but I’ve never had any trouble otherwise (knock wood). It’s been a Plex server now for like two years.
