Dangerous_Dan_McGrew LinkI just don't understand the appeal of Succession, I watched 3 episodes and had no idea what was happening because I was so bored with all the awful people on it I couldn't even pay attention.

However if we start pushing toward native linux support then that annoyance will go away as well.

Dangerous_Dan_McGrew LinkThe PC market as a whole should ditch Windows, the Steam Deck has proved that Linux is more than capable. We just need folks smart enough to make it easily accessible like Valve did with Steam OS.The PC market as a whole should ditch Windows, the Steam Deck has proved that Linux is more than capable.

Comment on Do you think you'd use a hardware-based file sharing solution? in ~tech
Dangerous_Dan_McGrew Link ParentHonestly I don't know, I am not that familiar with apple either. I assumed it would be basic functionality but I wouldn't be surprised to see apple purposely cripple or remove it.Honestly I don't know, I am not that familiar with apple either.

Dangerous_Dan_McGrew LinkYou can get 1tb SSD's for 60ish bucks 8TB HDD for 100ish, why go through all of this every time rather than setup a local steam cache?

Or put a large drive in your PC and always have them local anyway. Cloud gaming has the advantage of having high powered hardware making it a good fit for someone with a low spec PC. This on the other hand still requires you to run it locally which means you would need to have a rig capable of running whatever game. Since you already have the hardware I don't see how it wouldn't be easier and better to just spend another 100 bucks for a decent sized drive.

According to the shows own writers he was just trying to get out and in those days cross dressing was considered a sign of mental illness, As a result he dressed like a woman. With that being said if your friend needs that role model in their life then why would you want to take that away from them? Just let it be, it's only a tv show and some times being right is just not important.
