    I know enough to be dangerous. I know enough to follow faqs but dumb enough to not backup like I should.

    So I’d be running my server on bare metal and have a couple services going and sooner or later, shit would get borked. Shit that was miles past my competence to fix. Sometimes I’d set up a DB wrong, or break it, or an update would screw it up, and then it would all fall apart and I’m there cursing and wiping and starting all over.

    Docker fixes that completely. It’s not perfect, but it has drastically lowered my time working on my server.

    My server used to be a hobby that I loved dumping hours into. Now, I just want shit to work.








  • This is a really boring direction of conversation. It’s boring to talk about the false equivalency regarding a decade old OS that the OS maker themselves don’t support vs Linux today. It’s boring to debate the finer points of continuing support in games. It’s boring to talk about Epic outsourcing work to Proton.

    But I really hope you find someone that finds it interesting. Good luck.


  • Sure. But in the context of Epic claiming that Google is a bad guy for telling Epic to pound sand, Epic telling video game owners who have owned a game for years to get fucked is a bad look.

    I was a heavy Rocket League player on Windows and I quit when Epic told Linux users to get bent and I won’t use their game store. Epic knew it would piss off a small but vocal minority and they considered it a cost of doing business. Good luck to em.

    Fuck em


  • That’s a very fair question. I think that from the perspective of a power user (which let’s be honest, giving a shit about this makes one a power user), the difference is sorta bullshit. In Googles case they make it hard but in Apple’s case it’s not allowed at all, so how is Apple better? If Fdroid exists for Android, then choice exists and so Apple is at least as shitty, if not more so.

    You’re not wrong.

    From the court’s perspective, Apple is the honest party. Apple users are never given the illusion of choice. By contrast, Google sells the illusion of choice while actively working against choice and abuses its market position to do so.

    And that’s how we get here.
