  • extremely activist about hating modern Windows and extremely reluctant to use anything else.

    I’m in this picture and I don’t like it. I have Linux on my laptop but I cba dealing with bootloaders on my desktop and can’t lose Windows altogether.

    (Last time I tried dualbooting was with XP I think, so probably it’s a lot easier now than it used to be but still…)

    I only “upgraded” to Windows 10 (from 7) last year due to software I needed for work. Windows 10 is bad enough, I’m definitely not “upgrading” to 11 until I have to.

    In my experience, 10 runs much slower than 7 with so many updates that just kill performance as they’re running. And I’ve had pop-up adverts recently and programs that open on startup despite being disabled






  • I was thinking about this earlier today for myself. Not specifically about computers, but the same principle. If I have something that bugs me and wastes 10 seconds of my time every single day but I could permanently fix the problem in an hour - logically it’s worth fixing. Even if it eventually saves time, I have to invest an hour of time and brainpower right now. If it’s something I don’t really care about, it’s just not worth it. I don’t need that hassle, I’ll just have a small annoyance every day instead of a big annoyance today. I’ve got better things to do. Like browsing Lemmy apparently










  • My experience in the UK is similar. I’ve never had a good experience with a police officer, and I’ve been profiled for the clothes I wear, but I’ve also never been scared of a police officer (especially never scared for my life). I probably wouldn’t ask an officer for help, but I would also treat them like a person rather than a rabid dog who might just decide to shoot me




  • I was ordering based on my favourite, rather than what order to play them. I phrased it ambiguously.

    But why that order? Gateway to Glimmer is my favourite because the world feels so much more open with being able to swim, and then (spoilers) especially when you can swim underwater.

    I’m actually going to change my ranking and put Spyro to Dragon as second best, because it has some really cool level designs like Treetop Village and the Magic Crafter’s homeworld. Also the neh-neh-neh-neh-nehs (blue thieves).

    Spyro 3 is also very good too
