I’ve been gaming exclusively on Linux for a few years now, and I can say Bethesda games, and specifically modding Bethesda games. That shit works a well as can be expected on windows, and if you keep the mod list light, can actually run better than vanilla.

I will say, the free Fallout 4 creation club content good enough as far as light modding goes, and runs extremely well.

Skyrim on the other hand, would honestly probably be fine if their creation club had half the mods that I want to play with.

Which is sort of wild.

Marx was very clear that communism could not be delivered by heroes on horseback. But then again, Tankies don’t like Marx, they like Lenin, the man who lost an election to actual communists and then had them all killed. He seized power via coup, and then made himself a king, and wrote how kings (vanguard parties) were somehow vital to communism, and how democracy was not.

Except for the subtle Chinese propaganda constantly fed to the rest of the world. Now the propaganda is blatant enough for people to abandon the app, so the world is technically better for the US seizure. The app went to shit, but it was already pretty bad, so no net loss there.

Eh, it’s actually a wash. China did the exact same shit with different key words. They were just smarter about it.

And most of the censorship was in China.

Because China is a totalitarian dictatorship, and is no ones friend.

Just because the US is shit, doesn’t make China any better. The world isn’t black and white, it’s mostly black and dark grey.

They’re already doing that. There are reports that content from the DNC isn’t being served anymore, even to subscribers.

And Tiktok isn’t the only place for that exact type of content.

People are already jumping ship to other platforms.

Ah, but that’s the thing. There are always new platforms.

The current winner seems to be a new one called Upscrolled.

The guy behind it is a Palestinian out of Jordan, with Australian citizenship?

Anyway, that’s all I currently know about it, the app is being hugged to death by tens of thousands of new users over the last day or two.

They aren’t Microsoft anymore, they’re full on Microslop.

Hard to unionize when you’re the only person working the store.

But yes, the company is also anti-union.

Yup, Xi is looking to take advantage of Russia, and might just end up taking Siberia.

I’m calling all of it microslop. So there’s that.

Except you really don’t. Hiroshima was a tiny bomb compared to what’s currently aimed at you.

A thermonuclear missile can start a fire storm, that’s a fire that creates it’s own weather patterns. This fire storm will be the size of a US state. From a single missile.

Each state has dozens of missiles aimed at it, just waiting for the launch order.

The same sort of devastation will hit all of Europe, Russia, China, and basically the entire northern hemisphere.

It doesn’t matter if you’re in a hardened bunker either, because you’ll just cook alive inside. That’s if your bunker survives at all, because there’s no bunker on earth that can survive a direct hit. Not under the White House, not NORAD, not even most deep mines.

And since every single nuclear power is “launch on warning”, we’re likely fucked. At any time, we are less than 30 minutes from complete extinction.

But since there’s literally nothing we can do about it, I just don’t think about it.

Back when CECOT was under construction there was a puff piece about how they were “taking back the country from the violent gangs” which was why the government was arresting anyone even accused of being in a gang.

They billed this as somehow a good thing.

I remember it was painless, except for some drivers.

But I also remember having to choose how to set up the partition table, including what format it would be in. I didn’t know the difference between any of them, just that ext3 and reiserfs were “good”. So I flipped a coin.

Slackware has a gui, but it’s not a simple “click here to install” type. It has you creating your own partition table, with all the options.

I’m actually betting that a full audit of everyone who even claims to be worth more than, say, 100 million, would send most of these fucks to jail for financial crimes. Which is worth it on its own.

Hell, I looked at installing Slackware again a few months back. I think I’ve said enough.

Coincidentally, I actually did install Slackware as one of my first distros some 20 years ago. I actually had one of those old Linux for Dummies books, which made the experience close to painless.

Sadly, the call of PC gaming pulled me back to windows for a while. But with Steam, and more specifically Proton, now those calls are coming from inside the house.

Taxes. The answer is taxes and actual audits. We’ve been doing that sort of thing for a very long time, it’s just that the rich assholes have had access to the tax code.

A full audit every year, and then you simply tax any wealth over the 500M mark. It’s that easy.

Kitfox games has a YouTube channel where they show off a bunch of their current and upcoming games. Often videos by the developer themselves.

I don’t have a more general type site.

To be fair, Chinese culture here is also fucking terrible. That doesn’t make Facebook or western countries good, because only a child thinks like that.

No, everyone is shit. that’s the adult take away here.
