I feel like with Zeus's reputation for assuming the form of people or animals to trick foolish mortals, there's a lot of benevolent trolling that could be done in times like these.

There is no better use of your awesome powers that comes to mind.

It's far funnier than it should be Your name is also perfect to have been the first to comment.

Cheesechain

What a bunch of bastards.

I dislike how profound this is

I am not sure proton was a thing yet and if it was I was certainly not aware haha nowadays I'm all tapped into that. also, even beyond steam, lutris and bottles have made it kind of a walk in the park. my goodness. I wickedly appreciate that offer and If I'm ever so stumped that i need a lifeline I may take you up on it. Lately my whole goal is to git gud and make it work myself. It's a journey and I'm getting way more confident in my ability to admin my own systems (and potentially anyone I can get to convert lol)

well man, I was scrambling looking for a terminal to actually do something and It was disabled in S mode O.o I will keep that in mind though should I ever be called to mess with another windows machine.

I guess I just didn't have the patience enough to even get that far with it haha All I could think of was the Netscape thing. It was sooo obvious when i opened edge and got halfway into typing "google chrome" when a giant banner pops up and says "you don't have to install another browser! please bro! Don't do it!"

preach it, the capture of people into software ecosystems is getting so out of hand. I was thinking about microsoft vs apple, and while they do the same shit at least it seems to work well lol

I hadn't either until last night. From what I gathered it disables the installation of any softwares that don't come from the microsoft store i.e. .EXE files for programs that were downloaded from the browser. Getting out of S mode is as easy as creating a microsoft account. I had no interest in that for a variety of reasons.

I think its rad that both exist. Fight me. I swap between the two constantly. Sometimes I buy/sell etsy type shit. Sometimes I buy/sell Escobar type shit. If all bigwig companies/politicians had to transact on a public ledger- good. If my broke ass can transact privately and immutably- also good. Some transactions, for the betterment of the world, should be public- and conversely, mine should be private lol

They can ban all they'd like. To your point it seems tantamount to stating that crime is illegal.

I model all of my UI choices off of old(er) school windows. I have a bar, the menu is left. I was a pirate before anything and I learned on windows. There was a point where it made sense that the world used it, I think that time has passed. I really am such a pleb that hardware issues only effect me if it doesn't work. In this I guess I am saying that the freedom to abuse and break my hardware is important. I don't want to sell my soul or be told "no". install the program, I know it was written for windows. I don't want a microsoft account.

Edit: my drunk ass had said older(er)

There's a great burger joint that I now must abstain from. Bastards.

I'm a waiter, that one Saturday could be 25% of my monthly income. It should be a national holiday

I'd look into graphene or calyx, they're privacy oriented android roms. the websites have lists of supported devices. I usually get a refurbished pixel a few generations old and use it until it literally falls apart

This was my exact first thought

I'm worried this may take longer than a head of lettuce will allow.

As an american, please don't enable our crazy fascist cucks by electing your own. You guys deserve better.
