Comment Re:I See it made it to GoG.com DRM-free (Score 1) 99

Man, did 1 AC post all 3 in an effort to start a negative diatribe?

I downloaded the installer from GoG, so I can install as many times as I want. The Steam one isn't an installer. So, you have your game directories backed up - yay for you. You're still running from the original install. Pay attention and read the GPP for all that it says. And do try to "install" that backup to a new PC without Steam.

Note, I do have some Steam stuff, but if I can get it on GoG vs Steam, GoG always FTW. Hell, I'll get it on GoG even if I have it on Steam, because then I can make an actual physical copy that is installable whenever and wherever I want.

You didn't use systemd either : it has step by step execution, debug option which is very verbose, emergency shell, debug shell (on vt9), all of this off the top of my head.

Oh my, I want to step through 3000 steps manually before I get to my program of interest, and I also want to see 1000 lines of spurious crap for things I don't care about.

Besides, systemd is not based on Unix, ... that's why portability of systemd to other Unix was thrown away.

That sound you hear is a collective sigh of relief mingled with drives spinning up as new downloads of various Unix flavors start in earnest.

So why don't you write them a prescription for what they *actually* need. I'm guessing you're a certified doctor because you know what they should and shouldn't be on.

I did, and dropping 2 meds out of 19 made this person a whole lot better. Another dropped to just 1 med and has been doing great the past 5 years. Granted, it was me pressuring them to question their doctors and coordinate the total medicinal intake, but the improvements were worth fighting the stubbornly clung to beliefs. In the current system, under Medicare, these folks see as many as 10 different doctors in one case, each one prescribing stuff. It is worth questioning each doctor on the specifics of the prescription and the effects in aggregate with all other meds.
