half out of habit.

But also I have search on the search feature disabled on the address bar so I’m not randomly sending search quires when I mistype a url.

I mean it also depends on the gamemodes you play?

Kind of the reason I preferred playing Free for All over Team Deathmatch on Call of Duty, because if I lost, all I had to blame was myself and not the amoebas on my team giving the other team free points by only doing 360s off the crane for the whole game.

Also might be why I fell out of love with Battlefield after BF1, The game itself was great (wish I could still play it on Linux…) but you could tell there were a lot of new comers to the franchise who just ignored all the objective and teamplay aspects. I still find decent squad play on BF4 & 3 to this day.

I find it funny how common menu replacements are on Windows nowadays. I used to run ClassicShell/OpenShell back when I used Windows 10, but I was the odd one and no one else I talked to even knew about it.

Now I know more than a handful of people who daily drive RetroBar or something similar on Windows 11. Even if they’re not the type of person who typically customize their setups. Guess that’s just a sign of how bad M$ has been screwing up their UX design lately.

If I’m looking for information that doesn’t need to be super recent/up to date, I just limit my search results to before November 2022 at least.

It’s the “nuclear option” but it’s worked for me a handful of times.

Now just wish DDG let me have that filter for the images tab to make finding new wallpapers easier for me…

When I was first looking into Linux I asked the only friend I knew who used it and he unironically recommended me Arch…

A year later I actually gave Arch a try, but by then he apparently hated Arch and switched to Gentoo and I stopped asking him for advice at that point.

I already had a strong reaction when the term ‘Influencer’ popped up. At first it sounded like a marketing term that felt more like an insult to label someone as.

Then people started proudly proclaiming themselves Influencers and it’s only gotten worse since…

You underestimate the tab hoarders.

I’m also like you where I barely have more than a few tabs open. But I regularly witness people I know fill the tab bar until you can’t read the first 3 letters of the title anymore.

It really should be.

Pop!_OS in early 2023, I used it for about 3 weeks before my bootloader broke so bad even Pops own recovery tool couldn’t fix it. I went back to Windows 10 for another month before trying again with EndeavourOS and haven’t had to use Windows since.

Funnily the thing that triggered me to install Linux on a spare SSD was I couldn’t play Battlefield 4 on my Windows install anymore because the EA app randomly stopped working even after reinstalling the whole thing, Got the EA app and BF4 working on Pop within an hour.

I’ve only had like 3 games from FitGirl not work fine installing with Lutris.

2 of them needed some dependency like .NET installed first, and only one I could get working at all but the DODi version worked fine.

Everyone kept telling me Wine sucks even before I switch to Linux. But I’ve had it work fine a lot more times than not, even for some old obscure software that barely works on Windows 10 anymore.

‘There’s no point fighting it’ or ‘Privacy is already dead’

The arguments that make my eye twitch, It’s such a defeatist outlook but seems like the most common nowadays.
