I love how you specifically say “gaming PC” because I know you and every so-called “gamer” these days have to have some over the top, expensive, overheating, power-sucking pile of trash to run games at ridiculous resolutions/refresh rates with blinding, ugly graphics full of so many garbage lighting effects and muddy megatextures that the game is nearly unplayable.

If you can’t run a game on a ~400 UKBucks machine, the game isn’t worth playing.

What’s the point of consoles when PCs exist? I don’t understand how we have spent the entire modern PC era still clinging to locked down, limited consoles. And PCs aren’t expensive if you’re not buying some laughable top of the line garbage that runs games at super-ultra-mega-hyper high settings at 50billion pixels @ 4,096Hz.

Exactly. Countries are crying over this birth rate drop because of bullshit “BUT THE ECONOMY AND THE OLD PEOPLE AND RICH PEOPLE” excuses. Global population needs to drop, now. People will say “but we’re not overcrowded, we’re fine”, yet we’re seeing so many problems with the climate, distribution of goods and services, and so on that is directly caused by our current population levels.

Stop having kids, or at least only have one. Fix this world.

Sounds like you want to buy drugs. There’s not a lot you buy online that you do so anonymously. Sure, there’s a few things, but for the most part it’s for goods and services that require your information in the first place. So what’s the point?

The best idea is just money cards that you can buy at brick and mortar stores for things. Advocating for a literal pyramid scheme isn’t worth it.

Also the fact Bitcoin is essentially a pyramid scheme. Get more people into it to artificially inflate its value, take the profits, leave everyone else with diminished value, build it up again, get rich, repeat forever.

Crypto should be illegal.

Why.

To hell with anything using this AI garbage. Apparently I’m going to have to completely stop using computers because all these idiot companies are using this trash technology that just steals from other sites and presents it as its own. Time to move on from DDG.

Maybe don’t check all the permission boxes in flatseal and you might find it’s more secure than you think.

Id Tech 1 (Doom) source has been available since 1997 under a restrictive license and under the GPL since 1999, so not “recently”. But yeah, that’s my answer. Original Doom.

Asking if something is secure on an insecure OS. Seriously, both the program and the repositories are on github:

https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli

https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs

So you be the judge.

How about winget or the other commandline package managers? winget does have VLC according to winget-pkgs. This is the kind of “stores” we need, ones that emulate Linux repositories instead of locked down smartphone garbage.

We need more Eye of the Beholder and classic Bard’s Tale and classic Wizardry, and less fucking Baldur’s Goddamn JRPG Story-Heavy Bullshit Gate. Story-heavy shit has basically killed gaming. Go watch TV for your fucking story, kids, and leave games alone.

“Boo hoo games have changed it’s all different now story is good blah blah”. Bullshit. Do you want to play chess and every other move have to stop and be forced to watch a part of some fucking medieval war movie? No? THEN WHY DO YOU WANT THIS IN VIDEOGAMES?

USB-C is a shitshow, period. Whoever invented that garbage needs to be fired. Out of a cannon. Into the sun.

Depending on just the cable I plug in (all else exactly the same, same PC, same port, same electrical plug, etc), I get fast speed (from PC) and charging (from a power outlet) on device 1 and slow speed and charging on device 2, and another cable gets me exactly the opposite. And others, slow speed and fast charging or vice versa.

What the fuck.

This is not the behavior of a fucking “standard”. Meanwhile, microUSB just fucking worked regardless of which of the tons of cables I used, all exactly the same.

USB-C needs to fucking die. Oh, but boohoo, people had to figure out which direction to plug in a microUSB cable. Cry me a fucking river, nobody cares, that’s not a real problem.
