“he’s history’s greatest monster!”

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

Yes I know my enemies. They’re the teachers that taught me to fight me. Compromise. Conformity. Assimilation. Submission. Ignorance. Hypocrisy. Brutality. The Elite… all of which are American dreams…

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…

I still have a blast playing modern source ports of Duke 3D and Doom. Adding modern controls and modern rendering to classic games like that really shows how little modern gaming has progressed in that genre, imo

I am extremely unkeen on handing control of all food production to large corporations.

The Starwarsification of the franchise began with the reboot films. These new shows aren’t contributing to that, imo. If anything, the Star Wars shows are Startrekifying their cinematic universe, which isn’t such a terrible thing…

But then Lower Decks proved it again

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…

But also, MFW somebody turns a perfectly usable desktop application into an internal website that ends up only working on one browser…

I love how all the reactions to this are either “I love this” and “this is cursed beyond belief”

I personally would get a kick out of this as a skin for occasional use…

I am constantly amused about how “next year” has been “the year of Linux on the desktop” for 20+ years. Meanwhile, Linux & BSD have pretty much completely taken over the whole world except the desktop in that same time.

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

Sounds like I’d be happy either way, sooo
