I like being able to debug stuff.

Windows nowadays does not provide any meaningful logs, so everyone in their forums and such is just guessing around why things won’t work.

DirectSound libraries are missing? Install them via a sub menu of a sub menu of a really small text in the settings, wait 20 minutes for a „loading bar” telling you nothing, and guess what problem it had when it just told you no.

Aside from all the bugs like the menu bar just not opening and preview updates being shown with the same size as regular updates (great because older people will just install those updates too)

Its the google services rootkit, not AOSP

where is your open phone system now

You should honestly check with your ISP if the URL won’t resolve for you

OK, I know English is hard, but you should at least know what alleged means.

This article describes allegedly that that is happening. The same way I can say that alledegly my guinea pig has just started to talk to me in perfect English. It means literally nothing until either lawsuit no. 4 suddenly finds this to be true (yes, there have been at least 2 before, all of them dismissed afaik) or out of nothing you find some clause saying this is true

Either that or Mii Mii lends you their hard drive.

Amazon provides ad and marketing services, hosting, support, and more importantly, logistics.

Yes, but if its not sold on Amazon, they don’t do these logistics.

Games sold outside of Steam have no access to Steam features

And steam allows that too. Their only problem is with distributing the steam keys yourself for less.

The act of reading is something only the fewest people can do, apparently

Thats the neat part: they can make weapons the same way I can theoretically make a bomb from enriched uranium in my backyard.

That is another situation

Amazon is a seller. Steam is (aside from selling) a service provider with their workshop, forum, etc

While it would be way better if those were all in a different tier for devs, so for example they can select to get less of a share for those features, what they are basically doing is sidestepping a provider

Or in the case of photography:

You go to a Photo shop and lend their camera equipment and services for free, but they take a 20% cut for every copy of that picture sold.

If you buy a picture, you can download it indefinitely and get some services like changing the color grading on the website. The photo shop hosts the picture for free and only makes a profit through selling licenses. The owner also has an option to get infinite licenses for these services for free.

What youre allowed to do is host the picture on your own, pay your own cloud provider, and sell the picture that way.

What youre not allowed to do is generate infinite licenses for free and sell them without ever paying the photo shop for their services, while still using them.

like Gen alpha and z

As a gen Z who started with Linux with 12, daily driven it since 14 and dipped into Gentoo and arch at 15, I feel offended

Afaik its only gonna be used for stuff like screen reading, which if you’ve ever tried an open source speech synthesis model, you’d know even an old lightweight LLM model is better than it.

I’d also argue that if you actually care about local llms, you can just set up ollama and use that.

A lot of aftermarket chargers claim to support up to 120W etc.

That is called deceptive marketing.

I have a multi monitor setup and regularly play helldivers, war thunder, etc on an rtx card on a display with gsync

The games often have stuttering problems and behave generally unexpectedly when in full screen, and mouse capture dosent work, so 50% of the time I had to disable the monitor so it dosent go to the other screen and tab out of the game

Tried on both endeavourOS and mint, so its probably a cinnamon thing

I use it on my backup PC tho and never had a problem with normal applications, its great performance wise

Fedora

Used linux for 4 years now, I’ll list it and the reason why I switched

• Ubuntu (snaps, etc)

• arch (too much setup)

• opensuse (nvidia drivers don’t get checked for size, broke my GUI many times

• Gentoo (too much compile time)

• bazzite (a bit boring)

• fedora atomic (immutable, can’t get mullvad on it), still use on my htpc

• mint (cinnamon DE is shit)

• endeavour (its still arch)

• fedora regular

actions done collectively by SystemD

Nope. It only needs one maintainer to do the PR

It’ll discourage people from becoming open source developers

You know what will discourage Them more? Id verification

relatively inconsequential law

Give me your Id. Seriously, go and give me your ID with nothing blurred.

Didn’t they already announce such a change for gaming when the steam deck comparisons came out?

Yeah, I’ll believe it when I see it

With Game publisher I meant that Steam neither published GTA, nor any other games listed there

Steam is a game Plattform, not a game publisher

You mean Mr. Orange Toilet unclogger?

Reading the original press release might be a good Start

Their Thinkphones pretty much always had good update policy

Almost like you cant really sell a 100€ device and expect it to be optimised like a mid range

Fujitsu futro s920

The goal is to desensitize the general population into accepting thin clients

Shame on you, because Im in the thin client Hype for 2 years now

My backup PC and media center both run on 2015 thin Clients running Debian, they are really cheap, dont have any moving parts, draw 15w at most, and are Really space efficient
