  • You are saying steam link for VR correct? Because Steam Link itself works fine.

    The only thing I have to dual boot for is VR at this point. And I havent even done that in maybe 2 years. But it really is the final thing for me.

    All the other games I care to play work fine. The last two Resident Evil’s were flawless. Almost everything is pretty much click and play these days.

    I remote to other computers and remote into my own, so I take it you are using Parsec for something specific? I never used it before.






  • I can’t say I really hate this. If a company is willing to maintain this so there is always free water alongside a purchase option, it doesnt seem so bad.

    Because frankly a portion of my world looks like this right now: The corporations squeeze to get everything out of me, and a good portion of the populous want to make sure I can’t have nice things by fucking everything up. A public fountain? Oh yeah that shit will get destroyed or stolen within a week.


  • Thank goodness. I hate most current UI.

    It’s funny that one thing I really liked about it was the floating windows and toolbar. Then everyone complained and they brought it all together. But now people I work with using software that we pay nearly a million dollars to license are getting all excited becuase they introduced… floating windows.







  • Lets face the reality: Most people just don’t care. They are not going to feel bad or good, they just know that they did something they consider fast and cheap. Very few people are going to feel bad.

    I would, mostly because I have an idea what goes into their food, and I know you are getting what you pay for: there are better options.

    But I also have an idea of what the effect of a global race to the bottom from a company like Yum! Brands results in. They own 58,000 restaurants, a training company, a marketing insights company, and a delivery company. Supporting a global conglomerate to supply “cheap” non healthy addictive food should make anyone take pause. They also drive out other options, and feed into the system where we do not have time or energy to make our own food. Fast food at this scale is a pretty nasty with consequences beyond the price at the till.
