I ran it on a RPi4 years ago, but it didn’t perform well enough. It performs fine on an old laptop, but not so much in a Pi from my experience. Can’t speak to the RPi5, though.

Yeah, a study with actual data would beat an opinion piece for sure.

So the corporate sites will be more difficult to access and the sites that pirate the same content will be business as usual. Since teens always ask for their parents’ credit cards to buy embarrassing content legitimately instead of pirating them anonymously, these laws will absolutely stop underage viewing.

The Steam Deck is a perfect example of why the title of this post is nonsense. Ha, I added this post early in the morning yesterday and have been facepalming over the dumb title I wrote ever since.

There are unfortunately still useful things that only work on Windows, which is why I still begrudgingly dual boot. I like the idea of ReactOS, but development is slow-going and it’s still only alpha quality at the moment.

Geeks are enthusiasts who collect and engage with specific topics, often focusing on trends and memorabilia, while nerds are more academically inclined, concentrating on mastering knowledge and skills in their areas of interest. Both terms can overlap, but they emphasize different aspects of passion and expertise.

True, and having the hubris to think otherwise makes you even less immune.

Fair point. The title should be something more like “Normie Marketing Doesn’t Work in Nerds”.

A website with pricing, extensive documentation, and a download button effectively IS marketing.

“Flying car” is a bullshit term. They are aircraft and must be treated as such.

I suppose there are benefits to gig work like Instacart in that you get to pick your own schedule, but what is the benefit of driving for Amazon? You’re a contractor, but Amazon picks your hours?
