And is it ethical to keep using it?

How is this even a debate? No! The answer is fucking “no”!

Haha, what?!? That’s crazy talk!

Just don’t use that cancerous platform.

Will it also include the ever popular self-immolation microcode?

Linux, Win, rEFInd too. Windows is the destructive force here, so rEFInd should always go after it.

Same. I have been trying to remember the name for years. All I can remember is that some magazine called it “a warehouse in Brooklyn full of music obsessed hipsters”. Best curated music lists ever. I discovered so much new music with it.

I like rEFInd

To this day, no music streaming app has been as good as Google Play Music. I miss the professional human curated playlists too.

My first pirate foray came in 5 1/4" floppy disk format and all I can say it that the high seas have always had heavy casualties. During the adoption of streaming services, the waters calmed for a bit. Now that those services have enshittified, pirate providers have seen a rise in demand which in turn has heated the battles once more.

I ended up going back to the watch of my childhood; a Timex Ironman Indiglo. Until laws are passed that require smartwatch makers to open the devices for FOSS ROM development once the model has reached the end of its lifecycle, I don’t much see the point of owning one.

Also, install ProtonUp-QT so you can stay up to date on the all the versions. Sometimes a game or app might not work and two days later a new version of Proton/Wine comes out with full support fir said game/app.

Is it too much to ask for the days when my system was nothing but a prompt in which I may or may not type “startx”?

They can’t even offer a linux native XBox XCloud client that launches directly from Steam. How hard can that possibly be?

Also looking at you Geforce Now.

I am a control freak when it comes to my systems. I don’t like them doing their thing on their own schedule. The network servers (Thinkpad Thinstation and a Raspberry Pi) controlling access, DNS, etc. are updated and rebooted regularly but in a staggered order so that my network is never down. One kicks off at 05:01 and the other at 05:31. Five in the morning is normally the time when I can’t function, so it is the best time for a break. Not even my insomnia can withstand 5AM.

The funny thing is, I could have done that if it wasn’t for the bowl of cable spaghetti I had going in that closet.

It was 6.9.3 once I booted after the move. I assume it had been updated but waiting for a reboot to use the new kernel. Until I rebooted, it was probably still running on the 6.0.9 image.

If uptime and having the latest kernel ever becomes something I care about for this server, I might switch to Ubuntu Pro. It is free for personal use and it includes kernel livepatching. I can’t imagine why I would need it for this use case though.

Pop_OS was updated regularly. The kernel version changed to the latest one once it booted up in the new location. It was probably live on 6.0.9 before the move since that was the last one I recorded.

I spun down my 486 DX 33 home linux server in 2006 simply because by then it was ridiculous to spend the electricity on something less powerful than a five year old entry level laptop. It never failed. I bet that if I powered it up today, it would still work as a power loud and power hungry PiHole server.

Old school. You do all your work on hardware sequencers, trackers, drum machines, synths, etc.
