Okay put like that I get what you meant :)

Of course not. For something personal, two people need to be involved with personality.

Fuck off if you still use gas chamber OS for playing games.

All depends on whether I can play Skywind on Linux, but thank you for the tip :)

Well… if the skit depicts two ends of a timeline, it’s still accurate.

Indeed, but personally, I always thought Lara’s calves were the most well formed bit ;)

I don’t know about the zero horniness, have you ever been a teenager? :D

He’s spiraling downward, so even if he once lnew the kernel best, I am sure he no longer does by a long shot.

reading code you didn’t write is genuinely more tiring than writing it

What I keep saying. Good take except that you don’t use “AI” tooling, you use copyright evasion slop tooling.

it actually did in the early days, when the options were buying a mainframe or buying an Apple PC

Enter teenage me trying to draw (in Paint!) proper exposed boobies on this image from Pools of Darkness. That’s about when I gave up on my aspirations for becoming an artist.

Yeah, at the current rate this is ~2027-28

Defining the suffering of animals in a way that suits my objectives is not food for thought. Don’t get me wrong, eating animals (and humans as mammals are legitimate food for other animals, too) is natural, it’s how this planet works.

But that doesn’t justify factory farming in the way it causes inconceivable amounts of suffering, and since mankind has advanced enough to produce quite good alternatives, I consider myself lucky to be able to eat meat-like tasting things without animals having to suffer for it. Also, some oat milks are great tasting, arguably better than cow milk for some purposes (coffee). And I say that as someone who drank 1-2 litres of milk per day for a decade.

All I expect of humans is to make a conscious decision to only eat meat when they really feel like eating meat, and not just because “you have to eat something”. That’s what I have been doing for ~15 years and my meat consumption has gone to almost none by now, where I will occasionally enjoy a steak anyways.

I never played Morrowind but I did love Neverwinter Nights + expansions + community mods (Penultima) to bits.

Not for the livestock, it wasn’t. :p

Nah dude, I love the taste of meat but I am 99% vegetarian since 2012 or so and we absolutely don’t “crave” meat. That’s a learned habit. Find enjoyable vegetarian meals and you will eat less and less meat.

UT99 - best choice! <3

No one. That’s one of a bazillion reasons not to be a cuck-coder.

Doesn’t help that IT is outsourced to the lowest bidder, which typically means the IT contractor enslaving corporate IT to microsoft and playing a game of “forward the ticket”. Then “IT managers” in the organisation responsible for the contract typically know jack shit about IT and are busy trying to save face over protecting their users from incompetent contractors.

“does your organization have antivirus or anti malware protection on all desktops?”

Talk about suggestive question phrasing. Where better organisational security could often be accomplished by assuming every device attached to the network is a potential threat, and focusing on the network security, shielding devices against each other with only whitelisted protocols, plus locking down all devices that are configured by corporate IT.

Practical IT security in most orgs these days is “configure a big firewall with default settings from corporate provider, assuming everything is safe inside.” then they get one compromised device (USB stick, cell phone transfer, exploit, whatever) and the whole ass network is fucked. and they have a “oh well, we did everything we can” excuse. fucking BS.
