I didn’t see it, but the most heartbreaking thing that happened to me on the internet was finding out my friend across the country killed himself.

We met on the big mountain in the middle of Un Goro Crater in wow. I was a rogue trying to kill an elite and kept dying. He was a warrior who saw me and asked to group. We became friends outside of wow and chatted on Trillian daily for the next year. Then I noticed he hadn’t been online in a while. After a month, I saw his name pop on and I reached out asking if he was ok. It wasn’t him, it was his sister asking if I knew anything. She told me they found him floating in a river. I never heard anything more than that. It broke my heart.

20 years later and I still miss you buddy. RIP Mysticpimp

I love this movie and I will never stop recommending it

I feel like Jupiter Ascending would have been such a good book

I love mine too. It’s great for my back, but I get why others find them uncomfortable.

I literally had this reaction from a someone recently. I commented that I had trouble installing a specific program, so I switched back to windows for now. I was not looking for advice, it was just a post asking about recent Windows user’s experience switching to Linux, so I shared my experience and that I had the intention to try again because I want off Windows.

Dude commented like I’m just a dumb dumb who didn’t follow the numerous instructions online (I did) because it’s so easy to install on Linux (doesn’t change my issue) that their mom could do it (again, still doesn’t change that I had issues).

I’ll be trying again soon, but I can understand why some folks would be turned off of Linux because of that.

Walter Masterson! That’s his name.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a video where he was legitimately that angry.

I love this. The guy who was reading names is the guy who trolls right wing dumb dumbs a lot. I forget his name, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen him actually angry or that upset. Love it.

I’m digging it too!

I used to play violin a long time ago and I could probably still play May Had a Little Lamb or Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. I wasn’t great, but I was pretty good and it was fun.

I’ve kind of wanted to pick up an instrument again, but my attention span is pretty crappy.

Thanks. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to get it working, so I reinstalled Windows. It kept freezing at install then when trying to log in. But I’m going to try again when I have some time off.

I read too many books to remember all of the plots. I recommend books to people based on the vibe I get from a book. “Oh! You like dystopian romance? Try out the Mercenary Librarians books! I don’t remember what happened, but I loved them!”

That song is beautiful and I love Dropkick Murphys!

THANK YOU! I will check them out.

I have been a Windows user since I started using computers in the 90s and wow has been my biggest hesitation. But with all the stuff Microsoft is doing with AI, ads, and data, it’s the first time I’ve considered and started actively looking into switching to Linux. There are so many instructions and things I don’t understand, but it’s nice to have something recommended by someone who used it. So again, thank you!!!

I think I used a bit too much Italian seasoning, it reminded me more of a pork sausage than a beef sausage. It was a little gamey, but I prefer meat that way.

No, I am not. I found it at a local meat store that sells all kinds of frozen foods and meats. They have bison, antelope, crocodile, etc, but yak was the only on there I had not tried.

I ate it last night. It was pretty good, but I think I messed up the recipe because the meatballs were a little dry.

Yeah, I’ve started reading the guides on how to install it. Wow is the one thing that has really given me pause, the only thing really. But Windows is getting so frustrating that I am actually making myself comfortable with Linux so I can switch.

Do you have any guides specific you would recommend?

Oh I know, I’ve been looking into it recently. I remember days when gaming was the sole reason for not switching to Linux, but I’m also aware that it’s improved a lot since then.

I’m sure I can get it working, but I don’t feel comfortable switching completely until I’ve played with Linux a bit, which is exactly what I’ve started doing. I’ve started backing up documents and files onto separate hard drives so I can prepare to switch, I’m just not quite ready yet.

I haven’t made the switch off of Windows, but I have started dabbling in Linux. I am ok with tech, better than the average person, but I don’t know anything about programming or coding or any of it. I have a Raspberry Pi, some other electronic stuff, and a book that is project based teaching of python. I’ve spent the last month or so reading up on self hosting, Linux, and other open source stuff.

My biggest hesitation is World of Warcraft. It’s the only game I play, it’s the only game I’ve ever really played, and I don’t want to lose access to that. I have started looking into how wow is run on Linux. But I’m not ready to fully switch yet.

Fusilli, with homemade pasta sauce from tomatoes I grew over the summer, topped with yak meatballs.

This is actually what I plan on making for dinner 😁

Thanks. I’ll check it out
