I second this. People usually recommend Ubuntu for beginners which I can somewhat understand because it’s super easy to get started. But the downside is that you’ll most likely stay a beginner and don’t understand the absolute basics of a Linux based OS because, well, most of the time you don’t have to. Then you make a beginner’s mistake once and there you go.

Secret of Evermore (SNES). The atmosphere, the gameplay, the characters… It’s an absolutely awesome game.

Aaaand blue screen.

Sadly that’s true. I’m in that range and most of my friends use the same password for almost everything. Also nobody does backups.

Then at least make it an option. Just because someone’s grandma doesn’t want to use TOTP or any other reasonable 2FA doesn’t mean nobody else does.

That’s true. And that’s the reason why you’ll get one or two firmware/driver updates and that’s it. These companies have work to do on the other hand. A laptos or desktop is a widespread product. Valve had to go a long way to make the Deck happen.

Imho, the Steam Deck will be the only one with a really long product lifetime. Simply because Valve’s main business is selling games, not consoles. The Deck makes people buy more/different games. Worked on me. I haven’t played much in the last decade because I was too tired to play at my PC after work. Now I can play everywhere. Couch, bed, car, … Basically every other manufacturer makes money exactly once by selling such a console. As soon as their marketing is done with it, they’ll release a new revision and you won’t see a single software update for the old model ever again.

Iirc the funding from MS to Apple was part of a deal they made with the authorities. Not because they wanted to.

I’m using Vim on Arch but I’m vegetarian, not vegan. Anyway, that would be my order.

piss off their customers

At least for Reddit and Twitter, the users are not the actual customers. The ad companies are the customers.

There’s tons of good indie games. And you don’t even need a 2000€ PC to play them.

Random pick from a rather long list: The fact that the president can (and does; a lot…) “pardon” random criminals.

I’m using the leptos framework (Rust) and really like it so far. Not a single line of JS, not even npm as a dependency in that project.

I’m thinking about this every once in a while. What about using a custom domain and a relay service like FireFox Relay or Addy.io? That would give you the option to move your actual email around easily, even after you lose access to it.

That sounds more like breaking up.

AirAsia. This airline is basically scam. If anything goes wrong, there are no humans to talk to anymore. Only chatbots. No hotline and not even email support. They just keep your money, even if it’s 100% their fault. The chatbot is as unhelpful as it gets.

As long as we put that “exclusive content” crap aside, every one of them can potentially offer every song if they agree with the artist. That’s where the video streaming services are different. Disney+ and Netflix had many overlapping shows until the shittification started.

Better heat the whole state and compile it on your Minecraft redstone CPU inside the Java VM on that tube based CPU.

As long as it plays Doom I’m fine with that. What’s the TDP though? Guess I’ll have to buy a new PSU.

Also for these animated status line texts that were supposed to show what’s being loaded currently.
