I suddenly feel so old.

Probably preparing for the World Cup in secrecy, which is why we only see them once every 4 years.

Supposed to, yes. But with the inflation they substitute as human food as well.

A PC game is either on Steam or GOG or it doesn’t exist to me

Mostly agree, except I’m okay with it if it’s something I can simply apt install

I have no quarrel with that squarrel.

It’aint.

What do I need to roll to pass the failsaves?

I made love to many, many women, often outdoors, in the mud and the rain, and it’s possible a man slipped in. There would be no way of knowing.

Nice fork.

People who commit archery.

The archers?

Hey, poison has it’s uses too, unlike Teams.

Just head down to my local bar, there’s plenty of them.

Nice, which brand/model? I have a scale for making pour-over coffee that has 0.1g precision, but I seriously doubt my scale is actually accurate to 0.1g.

A music app like Spotify founded by Jay-Z

Really? That’s not how I remembered it, I just thought he bought the existing service Wimp and rebranded it. Kudos to Jay-Z if he actually made a music streaming app though.

Interesting, how would that work if your corporate IT department uses an (Azure/Entra) active directory system? Can you use a bare metal Linux OS on a Microsoft-based domain service? Asking out of ignorance and curiosity.

As an engineer, all my jobs so far have used niche internal corporate software which would only be available for Windows. This would be Document Management Systems (DMS’s), internal reporting tools (progress and hour keeping), software distribution programs etc.

And of course the engineering tools themselves are often only built for Windows, whether it’s proprietary PLC programming environments or CAD software.

That said, I can run both WSL and a corporate-approved Debian VM on the same work laptop as a compromise, for whatever makes sense for the task. Still sucks though! At home I’m a Debian fanboy 4 lyfe.

Depending on your country, that is the norm. Engineers here have at least 2 national unions to choose from, finance have a couple of unions, same with teachers, admin staff, etc. etc.

As usual, this is probably just US being victim of 'merican exceptionlism.

That would be a nice legal loophole for a corporation. Bribe someone to lose a court case without council, and then use that case as legal precedent for future cases.
