I remember having a few of these for WordPerfect, MS Word for DOS and Lotus 1-2-3.

I’m not saying it doesn’t work. I’ve set several things from GoG up using Lutris. But in Steam it’s a two step process:

1. Click Install
2. Click Play

I want that level of ease from GoG.

Now can we get proton support for GoG that is as convient and reliable as it is in Steam?

This seems both awesome and dangerous. The two analogies that come to mind are home canning and home brewing. They’re both generally safe and easy. But every so often someone gives their family botulism.

I use the “short meetings” option in gcal, which shortens meetings by 5-10 minutes to give me a passing period between meetings. Twice this week people have had the audacity to try and schedule a meeting in that break. 😬

Exactly, the same way I handle all my credentials.

I just tried it and it actually works! 🤣

Oh look, it’s me.

When I was a very junior EE I ended up working mostly on microcontroller code. There was one bit of extremely ugly code I inherited that parsed a terribly designed serial communication protocol by using a giant maze of nested if statements. I really wanted to rewrite it to something better, but I never quite came up a solution while I worked there. Years later after I was no longer at the company I had a stress dream about it and finally came up with a working solution. I still wish I could go fix it. I really hope it’s no longer used, or that someone else has finally fixed it.

That’s going to be a function of your SD card reader and the quality of the card itself. If you’re really concerned, copy it to your HDD, then read again and verify. And then when writing, do a verify step as well.

Uh, you very much can take an image of an SD card, the same as with any other block device.

There are lots of options, use a CD changer, burn a mix CD, listen to the radio, run a pirate radio station. I’m not saying that physical media is always better in every situation, but neither is streaming. I like having the option depending on the situation.

I love physical media because it’s just much easier to use. If I want to play some album in my car I put the cd in and press play. No fumbling around with search or menus, just put a disc in a slot and done. If I want a friend to listen, read or watch something I hand them a small object and they have it. No need to text them the title so they can search for it later and then forget it.

Which word?

Basically anything by Danielewski.

Literally unusable. 🤣
