I mean, you said it. They are trying to appease a stupid man, that’s all there is to it.

I think I tried DamnSmallLinux in a VM around like 2008 or something which I thought was really cool, then I tried Fedora which I didn’t really like, then I tried Ubuntu which I really liked and still do, although I’m going to switch to Mint at some point because I prefer the idea of having a community-owned distro.

You could say that about Pokemon MMOs too, and yet I’m playing PokeMMO in 2025 on my PokeMMO account I created back in 2013.

There are some things Nintendo don’t go after, and there are other things that they do go after. Decomps don’t appear to be something they go after, which is good because then we can get cool ports of older games too.

Why expect this to be taken down if other decomps haven’t been taken down already? Why expect other decomps to be taken down?

Well yeah, they’re fuckin’ morons. The same thing almost happened to Canada, had Poilievre ended up winning.

They wish they could stop me from emulating old games lol

ThinkPads generally aren’t low to medium Windows laptops though, they’re literally several thousand dollar machines. It’s just they age incredibly well, so they end up on the used market at a heavily discounted price after a while. I’d be surprised if a Chromebook outperformed a ThinkPad when it comes to actual performance.

Yeah that’s a good point about keyboard and mice, that’s kind of why I like having an actual standalone laptop. For me I feel like a tablet isn’t as portable as a phone, but it’s also not as useful as a standalone laptop, so it’s kind of hard for me to find a use case for it.

It’s not a requirement but it’s a good indication that she’s been in the country for a long time, it’s not like she just snuck in illegally from her home country. That was my point.

faster with the things it can do

What do you mean by this? Surely you don’t mean actual performance, right?

I don’t game a ton but having the performance to be able to do so is really nice IMO. The battery life is great as well (like 6+ hours depending on what you do etc), and being able to put any OS I want on it is huge too. I also like how durable it is too.

I feel like if I got a tablet, I’d want a keyboard, and then a mouse too. That’d still be best for portability though, most likely, but it’s kind of nice having a full laptop experience.

This is Trump’s America.

Notice how she speaks perfect English. This is clearly someone who doesn’t belong in the US /s

What a fucking joke of a country.

I was thinking of buying a Chromebook for travelling cause it’s cheap. I was very close to buying one, but someone told me about the world of used ThinkPads. I ended up buying a used ThinkPad with an AMD R7 4750U and I am so glad I did. It can run literally every game I want lol

I thought it was his sister who wrote the speech the AI read, but yeah, this whole thing feels wrong and gross.

Corporate monetary fiduciary duty is such a fucking insane bizzareoland concept to me.

I hope it does worse than the Wii U tbh, Nintendo needs to be knocked down quite a few pegs. I am quite fed up with them.

I’m not so sure.

All of my friends who are less pissed off at Nintendo than I am are not even considering buying a Switch 2 because Nintendo basically priced themselves out of the market. All of my friends who have a Switch 1 will not be buying the Switch 2, that’s pretty significant IMO, but I guess we’ll see.

If you have a coworker that doesn’t want to do their job, your employer has a shitty employee.

I think it’s less that people don’t want to do any work at all or less than the “minimum” (except for some rare cases), and more that people are doing only the minimum, not putting in any extra effort, not going above and beyond - because their salaries are stagnating, their employers are only paying them the minimum and not a cent more, and their extra efforts are going unrecognized. Ask me how I know. I have seen it myself personally, multiple times at multiple companies, and I have seen it through my friends experiences as well.

In unions, it’s called work-to-rule. Most jobs/companies don’t have unions, so we get “quiet quitting” instead. The more conditions stay the same, or the worse they become, the worse the “quiet quitting” becomes.

If you want to motivate your employees, reward them. Give them something to strive towards. Reward their extra efforts! Don’t just give them the bare minimum and hope that they will keep going above and beyond for you, because that’s not realistic and it’s not sustainable.

He has not.

Agreed completely, I just wish that they would stop remastering Gears 1 only and give 2 and 3 some much deserved love too.

Donald Trump, the way he eats, you think he’s going to live past his term?

I think he will. I think he could outlive many of us. Modern healthcare is incredible, when you can afford your own team of doctors it’s even better.

That he’s going to be lucid enough by the end of it, to try and hang on to power?

True, he probably won’t be, but it’s still possible. I think it’s a real concern.

The Trump effect is wild lmao
