Ahh yes, it's the linux fan boys who are upset about a feature being removed in Windows.

Afghanistan had the same access to intelligence and more hardware support we gave Ukraine. The Afgani people actively choose the Taliban as opposed to fighting them.

Sup, I'm your local friendly USDA contractor who very much uses scales everyday. Consumer grade kitchen scales are terrible and will lie to you. The fact that it does not go out to the tenths or hundredths is a big flag for accuracy.

We check test our scales twice a year to make sure they are accurate. I once tried check testing my kitchen scale I use for canning for giggles and it failed miserably. It would only register weight on 2 out of 4 quadrants until I got to 10g or so. I'm sure my ohaus is going to show a different and more accurate result if I where to try it.

I'm so glad that I subscribed to netflixs DVD rental service. I would get stuff in the mail, rip the disks with handbrake, and send back. Repeat. Torrents where a no go with a 5gb a month satellite ISP.

It's almost like linux users are up to trying new things like Lemmy.

The cloud is just someone else's computer. I thank fuck all the time that I bothered to learn Linux, that time sink has opened so many badass doorways like learning how to set up nextcloud or NFS or Samba and hosting my own cloud in my basement.

Hard disk drives will last even less. The lubrication will dry up and the disk will seize way before the 25 year mark.

Bluray is a fine back up media, I use them for stuff on my NAS that I cannot lose like precious pictures of family and friends. Not all of us live on am abandoned salt mine with perfect temperature and humidity for long term tape storage.

I was placed in Salt Lake City, Utah. I guess I'm Mormon?

The avg gamer/person doesn't give a fuck about Half Life. That ship has looooong sailed. Without the memes that game series would just be a historical footnote somewhere when discussing Counter Strike.
