Great handle, btw.

"I went from thinking this was the job to realizing it wasn't going to work and trying to figure out how to tell my wife that I was going to have to start the job hunt all over aga…

In a later comment, the poster noted that the game works via Proton.

You mock my FLoC, I’ll clean your clock! With apologies to Bill Watterson

One thing to consider, for the folks that assume everyone on CentOS is a parasite allergic to paying for software... CentOS is heavily used in the HPC academic organizations, in pa…

Your father had a hell of a life and looks like he made the most of it. Thank you for sharing this.

Hang in there! I’ve had a long career in technology, and for most of it I was doing project and product management, with some light coding on my own time as a hobby. Five years ago…

I -just- decoupled Facebook from my Oculus account in preparation for deleting Facebook. I guess in two years I make a throw-away account, or better yet, move to Valve's current of…

I was a kid on Long Island when Crazy Eddie was big - it was impossible to not know the commercials' tag line by heart - "Crazy Eddie! His prices are in-saaaaane!" I was young enou…
