So that'll be his coffin then?

As someone who used to use arch for years, I can't stand its users who go around acting like running it is some herculean task that takes serious knowledge.

In reality its not much more than a misbehaved pet that requires constant attention and a blog post to be read every month or so. Not because its hard, but because its updates are just kinda slapped together and tossed out in the name of speed.

One of the biggest indicators of this is the AUR. For what it was worth, the Gentoo crowd it replaced at least knew how to compile a program.

Maybe learn to use git, tar, and make like literally anyone else on any other fucking distro.

Same with the blahaj.zone room for 196. Got so icked I just nuked the account.

Still paranoid some of that shit is still cached somewhere on my phone, though I ripped out FC so I should be fine.

Never had a trolling effort make me feel that shitty, I was so excited to talk to the little gay people on my phone and it just felt like my little zone was fuckin ruined by cunts.

Between that, and neat stuff like jmp.chat, I think xmpp might be the move.

BlackROCK you where supposed to shoot executives from BlackROCK!

God what a fuck-up.

Edit: I'm an uneducated dipshit and thought he shot an executive from a company that makes grills.

It might feel wrong to call their last proper sit down at a couch/desk singeplayer experience a "classic", but its older than Half-Life one was when it came out.

That makes me feel old and I wasn't even around for HL1. How's your back feeling, millennials?

Do straight dudes think this happens? Or just the ones who still have to attend homeroom five days a week?

Am I crazy or does everyone in the comments not realize they're talking about ICE the federal agency?

Once valve drops better nvidia support into the kernel, and steamos starts coming pre-loaded on laptops and pre-built desktops it's over for their consumer division.

Bit of an unhinged and unreasonable nerd rant but here it goes:

The second dot com boom in the 2010s ruined us. Like holy shit. As someone younger looking down the line, living in tech bro culture, but exposed to the likes of the jargon file, y combinator and their venture capitalists literally ruined hacker culture.

We used to have a thriving culture that cherished freedom, real freedom, not freedom for the rich. What happened to the culture that spawned Windows buyback day? What of the dream that networked freedom would one day break the chains of economic heirarchy?

Like holy fucking shit. If you're not here for the love of the machine stop touching a compiler or better yet go loose your fucking hands.

I hate to say this but fucking good. Throwing random people in Gitmo wasn't enough to piss the people off to do anything, because the only thing that would be enough is when they fuck with everyone's money.

I hate the "fuck you I got mine" attitude so fucking much.
