I was merrily listening to Apple Music via WinApps the other day, when the Windows guest threw up a notification that it hadn’t found any malware. Literally no way to dismiss it without quitting out of any WinApps I had open.

Good old Windows.

I have WinApps running on the little Dell PC I have at work. It’s only an i3 with 8Gb RAM, but it’s ok with Apple Music and MS Office apps. I wouldn’t want to seriously run any games through it, mind.

🎶I fucked your mooooom 🎶

Has he seen your O face?

Get a Kobo. Read the book, click the buttons that take you to another book.

Dankpods has gone in on Linux too. He did a video about building a Bazzite PC a couple of weeks back.

Uh huh, uh huh

In a better time, yes. These days it’ll throw a warning that the application can’t be trusted and offers to throw it in the bin. You have to run a command in the terminal now. Every time the app updates.

LibreWolf has updated?

Gotta do the dance again. Every. Fucking. Time.

I setup Sunshine on my Kubuntu machine last night. Took me fucking AGES to figure it out. Recently set it up on my M1 Mac mini, which took me a couple of minutes.

Holy shit! TIL.

Red Dead Redemption 2

…again

I’ve just resurrected my partner’s old(ish) gaming PC. It’s got a reasonable GTX1060 GPU, so I’ve installed Kubuntu and am dipping my toes into the world of Linux gaming. So far it’s been pretty smooth.

Difficult to know how well it’ll handle RDR2 properly until I’m out of that accursed opening section up in the mountains. Not for the first time I wish there was a way to skip straight to the train holdup.

I wish him a lifetime of always being two good wipes away from clean.

The only US president whose brother was training to be a cage fighter.

Mintedlambchopius it is then.

He is absolutely FINE in The Bear.

I’m forever looking for a game that’ll affect me emotionally as much as Arthur’s last ride in RDR2. I still can’t hear that Daniel Lanois track without feeling all of the feelings, and it’s been a good few years since I played it.

Absolutely remarkable experience.

Like it or not, the most certain way to affect any kind of societal change (if that’s your goal), is to be rich.

That app is basically magic, as far as I’m concerned.

On a similar vibe, I’m 45, and one of the finest activities my partner and I enjoy is driving to a nearby beach, sitting in the car eating chips, and watching people walking their dogs.

If you’d told 25 year old me about this, he’d have laughed at you.

That sounds horrifying.
