@TheMNWolf @bekopharm I suggested what helps me and is not potentially harmful, I can't guarantee my results for every living person but it's not like I'm suggesting ivermectin so there's no harm in trying if nothing else works

Was curious how #StarCitizen does on my new rig. My old install was severely outdated and the launcher gave me a headache so I bit the bullet and reinstalled it.

The LUG-Helper scripts make this a trivial task and their wiki is full with further tips and troubleshooting guides: https://wiki.starcitizen-lug.org

Even the dreaded #AntiCheat seems to work nowadays.

The NHS is most excellent dude.

@TheMNWolf @bekopharm water, not for the warmth as much as to help the blood flow. Since it got cold, I started bathing more than regularly just to keep warm without resorting to billion blankets, getting sweaty and then even colder than if I didn't use a blanket

I am not a toy. I am a 4,000 year commitment. Please think twice before gifting someone a 3rd Stage Guild Navigator this Christmas.

You can’t convince me that “crimbo” isn’t something a drunken Englishman calls someone before he starts throwing punches outside a pub.

Like all the rest of the nerds, I did a bit of tech support on family computers.

They're all popping up windows from scam virus scanners lying that subscriptions need to be renewed or machines are unprotected. People don't know how to remove these things. Luckily they also don't really know how to pay the subscription.

Their phones are updating on them. Changing where buttons used to be. Removing options. Forcing people to register to use they things they have been doing for years.

They don't know how to register.

Things pop up asking for passwords and they have no idea who is asking or which password to use.

I tell them that I don't really understand why they keep using Windows now it is so shitty and awful. They say they don't know how to use anything else. The fact they don't really know how to use windows either doesn't seem to register.

The tech corporations have given up completely on being user friendly. They are all deliberately user hostile and exploitative now.

Corporate tech is terrible. The industry is failing it's users, abusing them. People don't even know there is any other way. They are just giving up on achieving their tasks until someone can fix the pop-ups and subscription boxes and passwords and 2fa for them.

Tech sucks now. Sucks hard.

@gpumoto just about every country has a few. I don't know about Germany but if you need some in Croatia, try Soldered. They have boards based on Arduino but it's kind of their own thing https://soldered.com/

@viktorTheBoar It’s like making first contact with an isolated civilization. You come back years later only to learn that they have deified some small and insignificant trinket that they picked up during that first contact.

it's that week where all the in development porn games waste time trying to make christmas stuff hot

@viktorTheBoar Hattrick!

That feeling when someone you haven't seen in years repeats some stupid jokey and opinionated saying that you told them, but they tell it as if it's their own and you already abandoned that opinion, so you get both first, second and third hand embarrassment
