Yeah, it TOTALLY doesn't have anything to do with him getting caught tripping balls on camera right next to his lady friend at the White House table who was so disassociated that the poor girl couldn't stop stimming.

I would be doubled over laughing for a good ten minutes if I accidentally smacked some NPC and got "randi ke beej" yelled at me.
the brutal trolling in Ultima Online made me quit
I'm sitting here thinking "I don't remember it being TOO bad..."
and 4 or 5 guys on horseback come and fuck your shit up for an hour or two
Oh. Yeah.
There's a reason someone (Midas?) once parodied the entire steppenwolf song...

On a magic Corp Por ride
For gaming and everything else I couldn't easily do on Linux back when mandriva and Gentoo were still considered fairly new distros? And because I didn't know Linux well yet?
Linux has come a LONG way, but back as much as 20 years ago, doing something as simple as installing suse8 could see you with a fat string of error -3's just because you had a slightly less common model of hard drive. Forget trying to play one of the few MMOs that existed back then.
Production mac's were still running os8 back then.
It was a different world and gaming meant windows for almost all major titles because there were only so many WINE contributors.
So, I kinda had this problem myself at one point a decade and a half ago, only it was booze and serviio.
I ended up taking an old tower I had, installing Ubuntu on it with no Xwindows or GUI of any kind, set up ssh, and unplugged the monitor, keyboard, and mouse and accessed the Ubuntu box only from a putty session on my windows box.
Then, when I wanted to do anything on the Linux box I'd ssh in and command line it. And Google and try again until I got it right.
I turned it into a domain controller for the windows boxes (well, login server via ldap) and had an irc bouncer and a bot on it, among other things.
All while still drinking and streaming video.
I can't say what the magic bullet will be for anyone else, but I was able to learn by removing my "crutches" until it just... Clicked for me. YMMV but don't stop trying.
LOL
Ten years ago I would have just blocked the MAC address.
Agreed, that's critical. That said, I periodically subscribe to all of those, and all of the ones I've tried in the last year on Firefox on Debian, have worked perfectly. If there's any left that still don't, I haven't tried/encountered them.
That's great news and it gives me a lot of hope.
You raise some great points though. The average user isn't going to use workarounds or alternatives, so we should focus on actually solving the problem instead of saying use this instead.
These kinds of things are the first things that come to mind when people start going all "Linux is ready for $blah" because while I can figure out how to deal with these issues, they're invariably the first things I get phone calls from my non-IT-career friends about when they switch to Linux.
Windows changes insane amounts of interface whatnot on the regular, users can usually figure THAT out, finally, no matter what OS they're using.
It's the stuff that just works out of the box on windows or Mac but doesn't on Linux that's at issue, and it's what will continue to halt widespread adoption at the casual user level, unfortunately.
The ability to stream media from legit paid sources. (Netflix, Comcast, max, disneyplus, prime, I don't know where the list is currently, but anything that bitches about user agent.)
TPM.
The ability to play multiplayer games that rely on anti-cheat ( seriously, make Linux a hit with the fortnite crowd and the upcoming generation will think of windows as boomerware )
The ability to use an HDMI cable at full speed. (It's the leading A/V cable standard and the only one some people understand. )
Then there's the stuff I'm unsure of the current status of but that I know was a problem once upon a time: Online banking, online doctor stuff, encrypted emails from mainstream providers, you know, anything that could qualify as "every day stuff" that works out of the box on windows and yet sometimes requires complicated (for grandma) setup on Linux.

I want to marry this rag.
Just out of curiosity, what are the ramifications?
I had a period of time 15 years ago where I was eating about 1000-1500 calories a day for months because I was so busy I'd just forget to eat.
Life is getting to the point where I'm forgetting to eat on weekends again and I'm contemplating just following suit during the week to drop some poundage.
I know if the weight loss is TOO fast there's a heart component, but is there anything else to worry about?
