In the wonderful words of Jimmy Carr: you look like someone drew a face on a thumb.

Summer’s a bummer.

In general, no. But there are enough of a minority of fuckwits to ruin it for everyone else.

Thanks, I see Bottles lets you use Proton as a runner so I’ll give that a try.

It Not an Emulator all the way down.

The closest I’ve come to getting it to work was SketchUp Make 2017 (the last of the free versions). I could get it to install using WINE but as soon as I ran it it would crash out saying I was not supporting graphics acceleration. Right now I’m trying to install SketchUp Pro 2021 using Bottles and just keep getting Invalid Handle errors all through the installation, mostly when it seems to be looking for certain KBs for Windows 7 and 8 I think. I have to dig through the Logs to hopefully find I’m missing a dependency somewhere.

To answer your question I’m running Linux Mint and have an AMD Radeon 7970XTX that is more than capable.

I know, but web app versions of just about everything suck nuts.

This is great, but does it handle GPU acceleration yet? The main thing I still need Windoze for is SketchUp and I have never managed to get it to work because I get a GPU acceleration error. Any hints would be welcome.

The main difference, and really only hope at this point, is ICE appear to be pretty indiscriminate in their application of violence. If it was more targeted I’d be more worried, but at this point it seems their managing to piss off a majority of people.

I’m sure a strongly worded letter is being drafted as we speak!

Yep. Rename to Unisoft and start making good games.

Lol. I like this Martha Root, I wish her many more happy hacking years.

I hate to be the one to burst your bubble, but a lot of the world’s major cities and economies would grind to a halt if you magically removed cocaine and speed from the planet. Hallucinagens have aided in scientific discovery by helping people make connections they would never otherwise think of, not to mention the benefits of microdosing for mental health reasons. Do you believe art and music benefit society? Well, I guarantee your favourite artists have likely used “illegal” inspiration.

Does marijuana benefit some states but not others due to varying legality? Do legal drugs necessarily benefit society? What is the societal benefit of alcohol, or nicotine?

Whether a drug is legal or illegal is largely due to political posturing and nothing to do with societal or health benefits. And before you think I’m pro legalising everything, I believe highly addictive and debilitating drugs are the ones that should illegal or at least controlled. Ice, heroine, and (currently legal) opioid-based pain killers to name a few.
