  • Let be honest, not everyone lives in USA\Canada. From where I’m from, average salary about ~500 euro and a good toy costs a lot less. So, paying 180 from your month income just for dildo is kinda too much for average person in Balkans part of Europe, Russia (well, delivering not working for them anyway, cause they cosplaying nazi Germany), most of Asia (except China, Japan and some other countries) and maybe Africa, but we not talking about them there. Not to mention, that just what I remember (too lazy to google average salary for every part of world) and I have one friend from USA, that also struggles to get decent income to afford at least food, so yea, even statistics can be controversial on those. Don’t know how situation in Australia tho, but those guys have spiders, they don’t need dragon toys. My point is, that $200 for a toy is too much. That a luxury item at this point, like a premium car or maxed out macbook. That a bit weird, but it is what it is I guess.

    I can’t even open reddit on a phone nowadays, cause my preferred sub have 18+ posts and reddit don’t let you access that if you not logged in. Also, there a notification, that I need to use shitty official mobile app. Also, there notification to login via google. Also, there a notification… Nope, I not using this shit ever again.










  • Super frustrating

    Honestly, by working in IT you may found out, that every soft suck in some way or another. Windows - constantly broke itself by updates\not working as intended in the first place + frustrating UI\UX decisions; Linux too complicated and don’t user friendly enough beyond “install firefox > use firefox > turn off pc”, also breaks down at time; Mac OS too closed source, to the point when to install some regular soft like wine you need to “unlock” your OS and reboot PC after some tinkering, also hackintosh almost death at this point, also poor apple decisions about feature set support, like recent drop of 32 bit applications or not supporting Vulkan, or dropping support of openGL and etc., also weird course about gaming support, it’s like they change their mind every damn month about it, so almost no game publishing company wanna work with them.

    Everything sucks man, seriously. At this point it’s just “pick your poison”.


  • looking for a system that scans my existing games, gives a “yes it all works” or “no and here’s why”, that I can use to actually migrate

    Well, you can connect your steam account to protondb and tap on “explore” button. That will not cover any software\games, but at least something. Altho, I would say: why you even want to switch at this point? Like, if you can withstand windows bullshitery but not linux bullshitery - stay on windows mate, no one will judge you. That why I staying on linux for example, even tho my work as junior system administrator mostly requires me to work with windows. I just can’t go to home, boot my pc and acknowledge the fact, that windows “updated” driver of my 7900xtx and I can’t play damn minecraft for 10 minutes before bed, cause I need to spend at least 20-30 minutes to fix that shit. I just can’t. Yes, my arch linux may broke on occasion cause of update or smth like that, but at least I have full control about that. And if something happens, it’s usually cause you decided to do something, not cause Microsoft decided silently “fix” their security issue in “Print Spooler” and broke all shared printers in the facility I working in.


  • Okay, let’s pretend we living in the world of Equestria with pinky ponies all around and Geneva Convention really works and stopping russians from torture civilians and cut their dicks in Bakhmut. Also, we need to pretend that Hamas joined as Geneva Convention member. So, how Geneva Conventions threat a man that claimed to be civilian but actively participates in combat?

    An exception to this rule is the levée en masse, whereby the inhabitants of a country which has not yet been occupied, on the approach of the enemy, spontaneously take up arms to resist the invading troops without having time to form themselves into an armed force. Such persons are considered combatants if they carry arms openly and respect the laws and customs of war (see commentary to Rule 106).

    Also, let’s see what Hamas should do about hostages:

    The taking of hostages is prohibited.

    Oh boy.

    Jokes aside, again, as I said: everyone who wanted to leave is already flee. Not like you see how your neighborhood stoking up weapons and rockets to strike nearby country and be like “I’m sure that just to made fireworks!”. Do you think after russia invaded Ukraine, everyone just stayed at home and just ignored massacre on the streets? Nope sir, the one who was against that invasion just flee from occupied land, only one who couldn’t find strength to leave own home and the people, who praised invasion stayed that day. Well, both groups was tortured anyway, but that beside the point. My point is, there almost no “civilians” left. There combatans and some that described by Geneva Conventions as “non combatants”. But no civilians. Prove me wrong tho.
