The last time this was considered funny was in 2010. Be more creative, make a sort of "DRM" that only lets you play the game if you cracked it, and doesn't work if you buy it.
When I'm not thinking about anything, it just plays music, all the time.
When I'm thinking, it's kinda like the reasoning of an LLM, it talks about possible ways to solve something, how things could end, and says things like "oh right, if I do X, I need to do Y".
The strangest thing is that despite me being italian, most of my inner monologue is in english, especially when I'm playing games or programming; and it's not in my voice, it's a generic male voice that kinda sounds like Morgan Freeman.
When I worked as a technician, I had to install windows and help people set up proprietary garbage on a daily basis, despite me being very much into free software. It felt a bit surreal at times when I was setting up AD servers or helping grandmas to use whatsapp while I was using a degoogled phone with lineageos and linux on all my computers and home server.
Now I work as a teacher, I can use whatever I want on my devices and encourage my students to do the same.
Games generally run very well or even better than windows, but if your target is games you should use a more "optimized" verison of wine, like proton. Other applications are a bit of a hit or miss: things like MS office, adobe trash, etc. don't run very well if at all, some may have random issues like crashes or the UI not working properly, others run perfectly, you have to try it.
If you run into issues, don't be discouraged: for games, take a look at protondb.com or PCGW (fixes that work on windows usually work on wine too), for applications, check the appdb on winehq.org; when something doesn't work more often than not it's just a missing library or some setting you have to tweak.
Using a state of the art local LLM and an agent to ask it to find all files with a certain extension, because I always forget how to use the find command on linux and I can't be bothered to read it.
Yes, but they usually have a system prompt telling them to be super polite.
I've been using Qwen3.6 a lot lately to debug a shitty old game that doesn't want to work in wine and during the thinking process it said more than once things like "The user is wrong, [...]", but at the end it always said something polite like "You are right to say that X, but it's more correct to say that Y, ...".
I develop a similar tool and this thing is absolute slop: it's full of obsolete settings like RADV_PERFTEST=gpl,rt (both have been unnecessary for years), broken features like FSR4 (it needs a DLL from the AMD drivers to work that this thing doesn't provide), and anticheat support is a complete lie, none of that trash will ever work in wine.
Also, I don't know why you would ever use a debian-based distro for gaming, the drivers are 6 months to 2 years out of date, you're just asking for trouble.
Because in web development it is perfectly normal to use 2 frameworks and 1200 random libraries to do the simplest of things. One compromised library will compromise all applications that rely on it directly or indirectly, no matter how small.
I absolutely hate this aspect of web development and frankly I'm scared every time I type npm install
Oh no, my steak is too juicy, my lobster is too buttery!
Jokes aside, who cares? The only thing that matters is that you're happy with each other.

It depends on what you want to run.

No that would be just in the current folder, I needed to search recursively
Take a look at pi.dev (or similar tools)
I bought 96GB of DDR5-6000 CL30 in september 2024 to use in my workstation 😅 I'm glad I did.

They're very few addresses, you can tell the OS not to use them. Take a look at this: https://www.memtest86.com/blacklist-ram-badram-badmemorylist.html

As Richard Stallman once said: "I'm not glad he's dead, but I'm glad he's gone".
Clive Barker's Jericho
It's janky af but it has great atmosphere.
They give away the whole game for free every june, for pride month. It's actually pretty good if you like Life is Strange type of games.

The Eaton unit is a UPS that's connected to the whole setup. It works really well, I can recommend it.
The home server under my desk. Very professional, as you can see.
Oh, finally I can get rid of pamac
