Who came to defend the honor of the fire stick?

The fix is to come up with a news reader with cryptographically managed identities (not verified, just consistent) and go back to USENET with it. This does everything valuable that social networking does, but without the malevolent overlord.

This is what I came to say. Starting with elements is as close to scratch as we get, and they didn't go there

I get why someone would purchase these services from Google, I even get why people who drank the Redmond kool-aid get them from Microsoft. I don't understand who would be stupid with to get them from Facebook but also have enough money to pay for them

It doesn't matter when games have to be installed and they require massive updates which also need to be stored somewhere. Games don't play from discs anymore anyway, maybe they stream some video from them.

No.

Citation needed.

Which system doesn't?

My personal mod troll is SO MAD I EXIST.

Rent free all day, all night. They never stop thinking about me.

Then why are you only demonstrating a child's understanding of the situation? A malignant state in decline having massive manufacturing capability is not a positive thing.

I'll never buy one again anyway because they destroyed mine with updates. It was always laggy, but it became basically unusable.

When I went to work for post-acquisition Tivoli (IBM) they issued everyone two PCs, for the most part a pair of PPro 180s, one running Windows 2000 and one with OS/2 so that you could use it to run ACME, a screen scraper GUI for RETAIN. You had to keep Windows so that you could run Notes, but if you just used a 3270 emulator and learned to use the application directly (which was often necessary since ACME updates would lag RETAIN) then you didn't need OS/2 any more. So yes I had to have Windows, but then I also had another machine on which I could run whatever I wanted.

The Windows machine came in handy for Diablo anyway.

Thanks for proving my point. I don't know why you do that so readily, but I do appreciate it. Of course, you won't understand how you've done that, but we can add it to the list.

You appear to have your head in the clouds. Reality is where shit happens. Pretending otherwise is what's tiresome.

The only VM with good Windows accelerated graphics performance is VMware, period. It feels gross to write that, but it's true.
