I don’t know how it works with a frequently updating OS. In my mind beaurocrats can become asses about certifying one exact version they inspected and then making users afraid that open source community can inject the next version with viruses and they can’t be sure it’s okay too. Ah, and making each certification a paid service and somehow fucking it up.

In Russia there are like two projects of local Linux with custom wine that you can buy just like other software, certified by FSB for sensitive business (I believe them being the first pieces of software to get it except specific cryptographic stuff), but I feel the reason it’s getting adopted and certified is because there are some nepotism and illegal connections with money not really changing pockets.

I see it generating less work for the helpdesk than Windows currently does. Linux can hardly brick itself without root while Windows can and has a lot of bloat and problems occuring on random on identical PCs. It also works fine on HDD and with less than 8GB of DDR3 RAM, so older hardware won’t become garbage that quick. And since users aren’t yet familiar with any Linux, there is a 5 year lag between deployment and when average users would start to dig in settings and customization parameters fixing\breaking things themselves like they do on their home machines.

It’s investing in your own working future.

I am alright.

It’s being teleported to your location as we speak. I hope you don’t mind it would redesign a couple of floors below you.

Hehe. Some games we tried were too much so I guess something more simplistic gotta be nice.

Thanks, I’d look into it.

Haven’t tried Kart (and MarioKart too). How fun is that for a couple?

One FitGirl vs a crowd of menacing DMCA men looks like a Kill Bill retake we deserve.

I grew to be mweh about PhylosophyTube, but they did a good entry video into that discourse: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yyzd_a6vLWY

9\11 and other attacks turned security measures to 11, it’s hard to roll them back and you’d be criticized if you want them to.

Darth Gaben: To verify your identity, say the gamer word out loud with the hard R explicitly pronounced. If you’d fail to do this check every half an hour (offline included), the VAC ban would follow. I don’t make rules, hahaha, no, I make them up as we speak.

You are not my pal, dude.

You fucking don’t.

Russian edu is kinda conflicted due to the push of leaving Microsoft (they stopped licensing openly by now) to alternatives, that’s not going well with anyone but IT students I guess. But if these institutions would switch, they’d pick some closed down and paid wreck like Astra Linux. Going from bad to worse.

Hehe, same.

If something, as years roll on talking to people with different experiences enriched me as a person.

Maybe they are into chemistry\alchemy.

Small private trackers usually share some sphere of interests, like music, hd tv, sports, books, manga, etc, so the volume of content is comparatively small and other people on the platform are semi-interested in seeding uploads they don’t use themselves and inspecting if they are alright. We don’t have numbers for a general-use tracker just yet. And also - most instances would be very cautious of federating contents promoting direct links to any sort of piracy.

Probably the round thing (a shield?) fooled us both. For me it looked like a two-hander.

Althoigh this sword\katana discourse is all known at that point, I can’t help myself but adding rapier at the western side to spice things up.

Would rapier\katana comparison work better?
