My favorite part of Inglorious Basterds is how the movie plays the Basterds off like a bunch of hill billy jokes the entire #movie, including Hans Landa, but they all underestimate their desire to kill #Nazis. In the end, they do what is right over what is proper and give the villain his just deserts. what a great movie.

@tealeg Bonus: Install DOSBOX and point its default mount folder to your WINE windows folder. Boom, it becomes exactly like Windows 98, where MS Dos programs will launch and automatically run in DOSBOX and Windows programs launch and automatically run in WINE. They'll share internal directories, and become like one singular OS. You can browse your windows folders from DOSBOX, and browse DOS folders using a linux file explorer like Dolphin.

@tealeg setting up and using WINE will give you everything windows programs need to run. That includes a windows registry, windows fonts, even a windows desktop if the program needs it. You can even install windows themes from actual windows installs for your windows programs in wine. You can also set up multiple versions of WINE for extra compatibility, i.e. a "windows 98" WINE, a "windows xp" WINE, a "windows 7" WINE, etc.

@tealeg If you are switching to linux, take 15 minutes and familiarize yourself with WINE. Use WINETRICKS to setup and configure it. It gives you an actual C-drive folder just like windows. You can set a mime type association in KDE or gnome to open .exe files with the Wine Program Loader. It becomes indistinguishable from windows. Double click a windows exe and run it and install it to your c-drive windows folder. It's not nearly as complex as people make it seem.

@aeva ah, I managed to eventually find it. Fuck that. IMO social websites should not have CEOs. that right there is everything fucking wrong with twitter/bluesky/threads etc. Communication should not have a fiduciary obligation nor should it be the whims of a millionaire/billionaire.

@anthropy @EUCommission The purpose of age verification isn't to protect. It to silence and chill, and actions like this are a feature, not a bug.

@libertyoftheforest2 @AmyZenunim it's always funny getting banned from someplace you don't even want to be, haha. Sounds like they did you a favor.

@libertyoftheforest2 @AmyZenunim What happened? I don't follow bluesky, I'm suddenly seeing a lot of posts about people leaving but I can't find info on why. Not that I need a reason, I'm just curious. More people to mastodon is a good thing IMO.

EDIT: Oh, replying to this made me see what you yourself replied to. Oh JFC. To hell with bluesky. I hate that edgelord shit.

@jaym I keep asking and looking online and i'm not seeing an answer. I don't follow bluesky so I have no idea but my mastodon feed is suddenly full of people saying people are leaving bluesky. Good riddance, IMO.

@maxleibman I feel like I've missed some news and duck-duck-going for it isn't turning up info. What happened with bluesky? I don't follow it but I'm seeing a ton of posts about it on mastodon suddenly.

@aeva I don't follow bluesky, is something going on with it right now? Always seemed silly for me for people to identify all the problems with twitter, the run to an exact clone that doesn't really solve the problems people were running from.

Wow it's almost like #WALLEDGARDEN #ecosystems are a singular chokepoint for any #evil #government to potentially choke their people from the truth from, huh? "But it just works!" Fuck #apple and fuck #ice.

@georgetakei They literally did this regarding obama and biden, so can they REALLY not believe it?

I love #Steam sales, bought 15 games today and spent $24 total haha.

I know people are going to hurt a lot during this #shutdown and believe me when I say I sympathize with them, however this is literally the only tool the #democrats had to fight with. I know trump is probably gonna cut #socialsecurity and #Medicare because of this, and that will devastate my elderly parents. This hurts my family too. But this government cannot be funded. Don't write checks for hitler.

If you know the actual history of #ElectronicArts then them being bought by a murderous regime to be used as propaganda is fucking heart breaking. They were started to be a haven for people who considered themselves digital artists. This sucks so bad. #Videogames #art #gamedev

@tiefling heads up: the look and feel of your system is not tied in any way to the distro. Garuda is just using KDE plasma with the Catppuccin theme. You can install KDE on any distro.

@DickieV By monday, the 3 highest ranked teams in the SEC will be former big 12 teams. LOL the SEC is and always was a joke, Texas is gonna run this shit.

By monday, the 3 highest ranked #SEC teams will be OUsucks, Aggy, and Texas. LMAO this conference was supposed to be tough? Looks to me like the old #Big12 is running the conference right now. #cfb

@DarthAstrius I will always, ALWAYS pull against Pedo U. That school shouldn't have a football program anymore. Absolutely wild that SMU could get the death penalty for paying players, but covering up a decades long child-rapist has zero consequences.
