I wouldn’t quite go so far as to say it’s gone “mainstream” since you still have to be moderately nerdy to know about it. I get your point though. This is one of the reasons I am so happy the Steam Deck exists. Before Valve released the Steam Deck nobody wanted to make games for Linux, so Valve said “fuck it, we’ll do it ourselves” and proved it was not only possible, but a better experience overall. While not all games work, having 78-80% of your game library work on Linux, with no Windows OS performance tax, is a great experience. Even with the Proton compatibility layer games generally run faster than on Windows.

Can we stop calling these glorified chat bots “AI” now?

My point was that you have to choose which is more important. Is helping people RIGHT NOW important to you or is helping people in the future, sometimes in a more LASTING way, more important. Sometimes the message is more important, but that won’t always also also help people who are struggling right now. If you want to help people right now then it is better to go through the proper channels so bullshit laws can’t slow you down.

It’s only illegal to do so if you don’t have proper qualifications, which you can easily pay for. Of course, that’s not punk, but not everything has to be punk if your intention is helping others.

JC, a bomb!

He’s not talking about donations though, he’s talking about paying full price THEN tipping. It’s a blatant excuse to pay developers less while placing financial guilt on the people paying for the product. It’s the same way tipping at a restaurant works.

Sounds like a skill issue. lol

Yeah, but the cables still have major standardization issues. It’s almost impossible to reliably tell if a cable can be used for power and data or just power, leading to people either thinking a cable is broken or over-spending.

It’s too late for some of the Linux Lemmys. lol

And conveniently forget about all of the problems they have.

It doesn’t help that cops are expected to do so much. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not an excuse to do fucked up things to people, but it is probably a contributing factor. Like mental health for being a police officer can’t be good. This is part of the reason so many people want to defund the police; it isn’t about giving them less money, it’s about moving funding to programs that are more focused so police can focus on their job and not try to be a mental health counselor as well.

I mean current version really doesn’t mean anything because people aren’t going to upgrade if the version they’re using is fine. I submit that this is a perfect example of correlation != causation. I may have gotten the order wrong on the not equal symbology since I haven’t used it in a while.

Also, are we talking Linux kernal versions? There are so many problems with this comparison.

I like NIN in all their incarnations for different reasons. Personally, I feel like he became more creative after With Teeth since he was less self destructive. The only album I can’t really get behind is Hesitation Marks, but I appreciate that he is in a better place mentally, and Hesitation Marks represents that.

Dude, he was depressed and an addict until Year Zero. This is when he started getting clean. Pretty much after he became friends with Bowie. Separating from Manson also helped.

Yeah, but it’s on Apple TV, so…

Windows is bad for handheld gaming devices since it is not built to be used in such a way. There is a rumor that a handheld gaming version is on the way for Windows, but as of right now SteamOS is the only widely available mobile gaming OS available.

I mean, you’re not wrong, but I’m pretty sure Valve would allow other companies to download SteamOS for their own platform. You can already do it yourself for free.

Memes are the DNA of the soul!

Have I told you I use Linux for the 10th time today? Just in case, I use Linux.

If it makes you feel any better, apparently the Pixel 8 “only” has a 6.1 inch screen.
