I haven’t been to Melbourne since like 2011, so I’m just taking AllNewTypeFace at their word that you’re mistaken about 2019.
Is it possible you’re conflating it with Sydney, which has allowed paying with credit cards since 2017? Or maybe with Melbourne’s free tram?
Labor Left members should just be part of the Greens. They reason they’re not is because they value the power associated with being part of a larger major party more than they value good policy. That’s the same reason Labor won’t split.
Isn’t that still dual booting? Unless you have two PCs (even if you somehow rigged both PCs up in the same case with separate power buttons), you need a bootloader to choose which drive to boot off of. And unless I’m mistaken, two drives is not going to look notably different to the bootloader from two partitions on the same drive, is it?
What do you mean Lodion and you. I thought Molly was doing the verification!
Yes, I can confirm I had a birthday at some point between 16 June 2023 and 2 December 2025.
I don’t know how those Kernel level anti cheat things work
Not something that matters to me anyway. I don’t own any such games currently, and don’t intend to change that.
But thanks for the tips re the bootloader!
Amusingly, just a couple of minutes after posting that comment, I went to the aoe2 Reddit to check if I was missing some details about a recent patch (for details related to this Lemmy post I had just made). And one of the first posts I saw was this one complaining about that very-much-not-AAA game failing to run recently.
The games in that franchise are like 90% of my gaming tbh. They all get great scores on ProtonDB, but the use a kinda weird hybrid of your Steam account and your Microsoft/Xbox account for syncing player details, and one of my concerns is the Xbox account might not work correctly.
Worst case you just resort to dual boot (don’t forget, always install Windows first)
Yeah, dual booting was definitely the plan. I didn’t know you need to install Windows first though, that’s…disappointing. And frustrating. My plan was to install Linux, stick with that for as long as I can, and if I later decide I need Windows for something, install it then.
or VM
Could be a good option. Dunno how smoothly these games would run in a VM, but worth a shot, and much better than needing to dual boot, if it does work smoothly.
Is Terminal installed by default? I feel like I had to go out and get it manually. It’s a single application with a UI to PowerShell, Windows Command Prompt, WSL, and any other terminals you might have. Maybe Windows 11 has it by default? But I feel like if someone has gone out of their way to install the application, Windows should definitely not be showing a web search result over it.
I honestly don’t mind the fact there’s search there. I do mind the fact that there are any circumstances in which it would default to the web search over a correctly-spelled (or even a correct partial-match) application on my computer. That should never happen.
Damn, that’s just wild to me. As I said above, I came in near the end of their era, so just storing one project on there was at times stretching the limits of what they could do. It’s kind of incredible to think of how far we’ve come.
What does this comment mean?
You can just do reddit
Huh? What does that have to do with anything? Nobody mentioned Reddit, or any websites that they “do”.
A lot of people need various different specific software. Some don’t need it but really want it. The comment you replied to was fairly clear: “if you have to use Windows 11”. In that context:
No need for 3rd Party Software at all. I’m team Linux
Makes no sense.
Yeah that’s my plan. My processor won’t even support Windows 11, so that’s not an option. (I used to think it was a TPM2.0 issue, but checked more recently and it’s not. They just even more arbitrarily decided my processor is too old, while also claiming Windows 11 has the same or lower overhead than 10!) I’m also not far away from needing a hard drive, RAM, and GPU upgrade. So I figure some time reasonably soon I’ll build a new PC. That one won’t be getting Windows on it, unless I discover a game or something that I can’t run on Linux.
Dayum, you were using floppies to hold multiple different unrelated files? Like a USB today?
The former DDR is actually shockingly visible in a lot of maps of Germany. Electoral voting preferences (especially looking at AfD, die Grunen, and die Linke), various economic indicators, average size of farms, vaccine rates (data I’m seeing is from 2009, may or may not still be true today. This is actually one of the few indicators where the east wins), religion (particularly non-Christian).
You can even get it within a single city. Sydney’s “Red Rooster line” is a well-known example here in Aus.
Wait, you’ve never heard of it? Not having seen it is one thing, but never heard of it‽
Not an important story. Just a fun little feel-good. We can all use a break from the gloom of important issues now and then.
This one’s more my era: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoombinis
I was under 30 when I made this account.
I no longer am.
Dunno if that counts.
At least it wasn’t hale, I guess?
