Win11 Paint annoys the hell out of me. This is it. We are breaking up. I’m going back to old Paint.

I ditched Notepad for Metapad years ago.

You should look at the External Funds thing mentioned in the article. It gives a different spending breakdown than Purchase History.

Help > Steam support > My account > Data related to your Steam account > External funds used. (Its the 13th item on a huge page full of stuff.)

Invest!

Your profile page will say your account birthday. Float your mouse over “Years of Service”.

Meh. You were late to the party. Musta got Steam to play Half Life Episode Two or Portal.

I got Steam so I could play Half Life 2 when it was released. May 4, 2006. 153 games. $1,725 spent.

This thing about not owning the games … um … Steam is a more reliable, stable, all around better repository for my games than any device I’ve ever owned. Other than the Ubisoft games that are designed to not be re-usable (never buy Ubi again) I have access to every game I’ve bothered to spend money on for the last two decades.

I like this guy.

Win11 is a better daily driver than any Linux system. (If it was different, I’d probly start hating Linux too.) Win11 HyperV is a well developed virtualization system. Run a VM if you need Linux. There’s also the M$ linux-on-windows thing, but I don’t enjoy having the OS and the guest mix like that, so a VM is best for me.

Got some nice word clouds in that article.

radiation from 5G networks, vaccines, reversal of the Earth’s magnetic field, consumption of Doritos, and even chemtrails.

spiritual healing and attempts to discourage medical treatment, reinforcing the guilt of parents and caregivers.

anti-vaccine discourse, ‘the new world order,’ scientific denialism, and anti-institutional ideology.

networks are organized, create meaning, fuel distrust, and capitalize on collective anguish
