Are you sure I shouldn't just ask Microsoft to pretty please keylog everything I do on any computer ever? I mean that seems reasonable to me that seems like what a reasonable corporation would do. \s

Now introducing Microsoft dildonics. We will tell you when to put it in your holes.
I think it's supposed to like the en- in entrenched. To be trenched would be to be put in a trench but to be entrenched, well, that's when you already got trenched. Now have been inside the trench. The tench is all around you and you're stuck in a mire. So things get shittified, then they stay that way until they just get mired, I mean just completely covered, in shit. At that point they are enshittified. Trenched is a made up word, but so is enshittified. I guess Doctorow could have called it shitslapped or shatblasted or whatever.
Aye aye, Captain! 🫡

Hey man, we're living parallel lives. I literally just did this yesterday. The command you're looking for is gdebi. Try gdebi (name of the package's file, uncompressed to a .deb) if you downloaded the .Deb from the website. tic80 will now be a usable command. To uninstall the tic80 command / program you can use apt uninstall tic80. It worked with and without sudo.
I was once like you. You can do it. I like Linux mint. Here's how to install it: Go to https://www.linuxmint.com/ and see what it's about. It's friendly, it's very Windows like, it just works. Go here for the install guide: https://linuxmint-installation-guide.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ Pick an .iso file and download it. Go to https://etcher.balena.io/#download-etcher To download the program that puts .iso files on USB drives. Use the Balena Etcher program to burn the .iso onto a USB thumb drive. Put your non-redownloadable files with sentimental value in another drive and remove the drive from your computer. Do not skip this step, order another drive if you have to (INB4 new laptop, but don't forget this with your other machines). Plug in the USB drive that has Linux Mint on it. Power off your computer. Wait 20 seconds. Power on your computer. Mash the F2, F10, F12, and F5 keys until you get to the bios screen, or get to the bios screen if you know some other way. Find the setting that says something like "boot priority" and put USB drive above your C drive. Save and power off. Wait 20 seconds. Power on. Press F12 or whatever key you need to to get to the boot selection screen. Choose the option to boot from the Linux Mint USB drive. This is where you can test drive Linux before installing. Try ctl-alt-t to bust open a terminal. The terminal is your friend, but not required for the install. Close terminal with the command 'exit' or ctl-d or ctl-c ctl-d. Double click the install icon on the desktop. Follow instructions. Choose to delete windows forever from your life and put Linux on the hard drive. Follow instructions, they are no harder than any other wizard you have seen to install software. Reboot. Enjoy. Here are some tips: The terminal is your friend. Commands for learning the terminal, because the terminal can teach you to use the terminal (man is short for manual): man man man apt man ls man cd man vi man nano man less man pipe man mkfifo man rm apt search game ---> searches for the keyword 'game" apt update ----> this is how to update your cache. Use it to pull your software updates apt upgrade ----> this is how to apply the updates to your machine.
---End terminal stuff--- You can use your machine in the normal way too, same as any windows machine. Look around and explore. All the stuff in the software center is free (gratis). There's lots of stuff. No more .exes to get software. Look at www.fsf.org to discover why free software is important.
If you have trouble you can DM me. I will help if I can. Good luck, you got this.
Heya, if you need pico 8, you might like to try https://tic80.com/ . Tic-80 is a Foss pico-8 like software that has a basic and has some pico to tic conversion scripts that can convert between the formats. Hope this helps!
The entire framework thing is not a good value because it costs like ~2000 dollars for a laptop. People are acting like the timeline for use on these things is infinity. It's not. I have on two occasions went and bought an i3 and Celeron laptop for 100 dollars each. Both of these machines do what I need. Both play emulators, both play videos. I just want to know which use case a 2000 dollar laptop that is modular fits? I feel like this is astroturfing. The laptops have m1 expansion as well. Help me out here. Why is a framework worth 20 cheap and reliable laptops? Inb4 sustainability, you would still be trashing the old parts after upgrading, right? I feel like workstations have so much more value if we are talking about modularity and power. I guess, if this is your one computer to rule them all you might be able to justify the expense, but why not buy a workstation for like 1000 bucks, a 200 dollar laptop, and pocket the leftover 800 buckeroos?
I predict GNUL desktop at 5%
