2nd hand Samsung from 3 years ago is still better and cheaper.

Cheaper? Yes. Better? Hell no, unless you can root it and install a custom ROM.

The only notable thing about Bazzite is that it’s built on top of Fedora Atomic, making it immutable like SteamOS.

Without that, it’s just a regular old distro with some opinions about which software should be preinstalled.

Wouldn’t the Steam Flatpak still work?

Throwing a tantrum isn’t how to get what you want. This is a common behavior in the OSS world from wannabe BDFLs. Linus Torvalds or Guido van Rossum earned that title through merit, not through the simple luck of your side project going viral.

Bazzite is just Fedora Atomic with some extra preinstalled software. If it dies, it’ll hurt the community of Linux gamers who picked it for whatever reason, but it won’t make Fedora maintain 32 bit packages forever.

What does game preservation have to do with right to repair? I support both, but if people don’t care about preserving games, latching it onto the right to repair movement is just going to drag it down for no reason.

Tbh it’s not as bad as I was expecting. Those clips could definitely have resulted in an accident, but the system seems to actually work most of the time. I wonder if it couldn’t be augmented with lidar at this point to make it more reliable? A live stress test is ridiculously irresponsible and will definitely kill people, but at least it’s only Texans at risk (for now).

I was skeptical of the idea of robotaxis, but this kind of sold me on it. If they’re cheaper than human drivers, I might even be able to get rid of my car some day. It doesn’t change the fact that I’ll never get into one because the CEO is a nazi though.

I never preorder games, but I was going to for this one until I tried the demo and saw it was buggy and laggy.

Monster Hunter is a legit awesome and addicting (in a good way) series. This latest one is a dud, but pretty much every game in the series has been a certified banger.

MH: Generations is the pinnacle of classic MH. Rise is the newest classic-style game, but it’s very modernized. The modern games aren’t bad, they’re just different.

Anyone know why the Signal app isn’t available on F-Droid? Isn’t it supposed to be open source?

Throw Musk in prison for his many documented crimes, but don’t support this kind of dictator shit.

Packaging desktop apps via deb (or other system package managers) is obsolete and should be frowned upon.

cue the angry comments from cranky old people

Didn’t the Trump admin suspend enforcement of foreign anti-bribery laws? Microsoft just has to write a check to the right person to kill this.

The problem is education. People know how to use Windows/Microsoft products, and are too lazy to learn anything else. Saying “that other thing sucks” is easier than admitting “Idk how to use that other thing, and I’m too lazy to learn”, especially in a corporate environment where you can’t climb ladders by acknowledging your own shortcomings.

Get LibreOffice/Nextcloud/etc into schools, and the problem will be solved in a single generation.

This is why grammar is important, and “grammar nazis” are the only good kind of nazis.

I used Java years ago for Android dev, but stopped when I stopped doing that. Every once in a while I’ll get the itch to work on a new project, and always wonder if Java would be a good idea.

My hesitance is that I don’t trust Oracle (and don’t know to what extent they’re involved nowadays), I’m not familiar enough with the ecosystem to know what is legacy crap to avoid, and I think it’s generally seen as an uncool language, and I’m way too cool to be taking such risks.

I live in a very warm and wet climate, and have never had this issue.

Clean your house bro

No, seriously.

This is statistically impossible, unless “IT guy” just means “computer nerd” rather than someone who works in an IT role.

Slightly OT, but what do you call people who role play as dragons/reptiles/etc? “Furries” seems inaccurate, but it’s the first term that comes to mind when I see art like this.

Lol you must be new around here. The .ml people are certified tankies.

I think you misread. The “over 30” is on the negative branch of “over 60”
