After spending the past 2 hours trying to get Banishers running on Linux, I’ll say no if that is something that interests you. What a shit show.

Maybe prioritize learning to read over procreation. There will be plenty of kids available when you’re ready.

It will parallel the push to Windows365 in the enterprise space. Thinking in terms of hardware only misses the internal goal at Microsoft of locking everyone in to Azure hosted services where they have unlimited access to your data for CoPilot training.

THAT is their strategy. TPM requirements, kernel locking and secure boot are baby steps to the end goal. It’s not about Xbox, it’s about training data for their GenAI platforms.

Additionally, their Prism Emulation Engine is running Xbox games natively on ARM hardware as of a few days ago (insider preview users at least)

If this is a mashup of Dream Daddy and Red Dawn, I’m in.

That’s more things you’d want to start putting on a 4th birthday registry.

Just in time for the school year… if we still have education as an option by then.

As an old dad, you have my sign off. Especially if you can get a jumper that says 1v1 me. I always appreciate a kid that will stare you down.

My kid has been wearing 2nd hand metal shirts for about 15 years. That was also the aesthetic when we made quilts for him as a baby.

I gotta imagine there’s people out there laying heavy judgment on that decision. We think it’s hilarious. Poor dude was like 13 the first time I got a call about a Cattle Decap shirt he was wearing. I guess, technically it was sacrilegious but I appreciated him self advocating and pointing out a “guns, god, country” shirt another kid had on.

Thanks for attending my ramble about judging people’s parenting fashion.

Only if you teach them to be literate.

They’ve already stated that intent last November. Everything is an Xbox

I’m not a MS fanboy (incredibly far from it) but your comment sparked a vision in my head of an immutable variant of LTSC/iot that function liked a Debian or arch base with vendors building x window interfaces on top of it i(the name is already there). interfaces that are hardware or platform specific (e.g. here’s your Ubisoft skin, here’s your Epic Skin, etc…).

If only we lived in a tech utopia instead of… whatever the fuck the mba’s have spent the last few decades shitting out.

I hate having thoughts of utopia in an orphan crushing world.

Hella gay. Let’s go do crimes about it.

Just lost a Mint install to a bad kernel update. I don’t bother to fix my OS failures anymore. I just load ventoy through refind and start over.

It’s not a common occurrence but I’m just not precious about my OS installs anymore. Keep a script around to backup anything important to a network share and let it rip.

I scored 12/21 on https://e-mail.wtf/ and all I got was this lousy text to share on social media.

Been waiting for this! Well done and congratulations. Thanks for the year of content.

This is top 3 of all time for me. There is so much happening in every scene you can watch it multiple times and still catch little jokes or sight gags each viewing.
