did you even read the article you posted?


wow bro, you okay?

you posted something, i read it and I don’t get it and you’re acting like it’s something worth getting excited about. Seems like you’re not ok


I don’t identify with it though. Did I give the impression I did? My mindset is like “someone wrote that many words on this? Is it even a thing? IDK what that is, I guess I’m old or just out of touch…”

I have lots of young family members so I’m gonna go with Im just old I guess


IDK, im not in my 30s anymore but I don’t think I ever hear a straight let’s go

let’s fucking go at a sports event occasionally but not like it’s a mainstay. more like a individual rally


in the summer of 2024 i put 64gb of ddr5 RAM in my computer because it was like $250… for the good stuff

sorry you missed the boat 😞




the burnout is real, I oftened contemplate pushing a broom and cleaning toilets.


it’s a life changing event getting blacklisted from something like your career goal. I found a more rewarding career path but it still hurts that I was trying to make Microsoft a better company and I was outed for trying to argue that Linux wasn’t going away and Microsoft had to recognize it’s strengths


I worked at Microsoft in the early 2000 era. before Xbox. I did the top level os consumer support stuff. not for corporate but for the general public that uses the os support channel. one day I was in a discussion group and we talked about what you think about the future kinda thing. it was supposed to be a relaxed discussion but once I brought up Linux and older hardware, I felt the temperature changed. it was later explained that I was black listed for my argument because it expressed that flaws in Windows and the potential of Linux. Years later I joked with a friend who still had an MS job, that putting the Linux subsystem in Windows was admitting I was right back then… this new Xbox coming out in competition to the steam system just makes me feel so justified. Microsoft will always be a second best because they can’t break the internal mindset that they are the top


so I’m currently playing Foundation, I played Civilization a bunch and Civ2 a bit but mostly avoided that kind of game in favor of 3rd Person Shooters and like.

I will give your demo a go soon
