It’s not China “facing” the tariffs, it’s Americans

It’s been over twenty-five years, but I still lust after Corel Linux

Windows 10 isn’t going to suddenly stop working the instant it’s “EOL”. If anything, I’m looking forward to no more random reboots at 3am following a mandatory update that didn’t do anything useful.

Steam Machines flopped for a whole bunch of reasons. Many of those have been fixed over the intervening years. Consoles are now all basically PCs, and the market leader runs a variant of BSD (iirc). That makes native Linux gaming a much easier thing to pull off. Then, there’s Proton which is apparently basically some kind of black magic where Windows games can run better under Linux than under Windows. There’s also much better peripheral device support than there used to be. Valve has also created a basically fixed platform with the Steamdeck (and its AMD-basef competition), meaning developers have a defined set of features they can target for a good experience.

I’m here for this. If they can overcome the Nvidia issues, I’ll just stick my gaming rig in my loungeroom and build something smaller and cooler for my main workstation…

Am I the only one that sees the flaccid wang?

InfoWars the company is being transferred. The InfoWars X account is staying with InfoWars. Legally speaking, there’s no change of ownership here, Musk is delusional.

Problem is when things like Kerbal Space Program 2 happen, and they release a buggy mess and charge full price for it and then abandon the project.

I feel like established publishers (Take 2, Codemasters come to mind) should be specifically excluded from the Early Access program, or perhaps price limits should be imposed on games in the program…

Of all the games that could benefit from a remastering in 2024, Horizon Zero Dawn would be among the last of them. That game still looks utterly gorgeous, ffs.

Is day today having a privacy policy implies that the app is in fact being used for data collection. However, it appears to point to the general Google privacy policy…

You will own nothing and be happy

My very large organisation has Gimp available for basic image manipulation. I’ve tried to get them to use Paint.NET instead, but nooooo… Apparently we like hitting nails with jackhammers around here

No Android builds :(

I have a Boox Nova Air. It’s a 7" B&W e-reader. It’s nice to have a boring Android tablet that also happens to be an e-reader.

I wouldn’t recommend ePaper for anything but the very lightest of web browsing. The like refresh rate really is a lot to take in.

Using the pen is nice. It feels a lot like black magic, really. It’s just like drawing on paper.

If like to get a colour version to read comics, but let’s face it, I can’t even remember where my current one is, let alone the last time I turned it on…

I have a novel idea. How about my operating system just being a platform to allow my games and applications to run? I’m sick of Microsoft adding “new features” that slow everything down.

I swear, every time a company adds “AI” to their product, it makes it dumber.

You’ve inadvertently discovered the Windows Rule: every other version sucks.

I use AIMP. It’s available for PC also. It’s like what Winamp would be had development continued, and it’s pretty great

Edit: I’m pretty sure it’s not open source, but that’s very low on my personal list of priorities, tbh

they are still based on Chrome or Firefox doesn’t really matter, since they remove the undesirable parts of them.

Actually it does matter, since Google are killing off the ability for ad blockers to work with a new manifest specification in Chromium.

You’re the one who made the original claim, buddy. The burden of proof is upon you. I’ve made no such claims about the superiority of either connector here.

You’ve not even presented an argument; you’ve only made a statement that it’s a worse connector. What are you basing this so-called argument on?

So it’s not actually a worse connector, then? Gotcha.
