EA literally had one job:

  • Make Skate 2 but with a new area and updated graphics.

And EA went and fucked it up being greedy. And they wonder why Steam is killing it.

Yes but if there are no humans working no one will buy your shitty chat bot.

Also the more suspicious I get, and thus less likely to buy, the advertised product.

I love GNOME but I found the default usage pattern aligned very well for laptops. And I don't mind they only implement finalized Wayland protocols. But Wayland moves so slow!

I use KDE on in my normal desktop because I want VRR and HDR for gaming. I like KDE but its default theme still looks rough around the edges and it has random bugs and kwin crashes when gaming and sometimes on resume.

Both have things I like and things I don't like and I wish I could take the best from both.

I like Cosmic DE a lot because of this. It feels light, efficient, and smooth like KDE. But it feels coherent, consistent, and laptop friendly like Gnome.

... But Cosmic still feels a bit too incomplete for me to daily.

Thanks for the AMA!

How did you find the Fediverse? Have you found it enjoyable?

Honestly same.

I always got excited about early AI use because it was actually innovative.

Like using AI to get better HDR photos, using AI for object recognition and Augmented Reality.

I was sure I'd always be an early adopter for it all.

Then within a day of ChatGPTs release, I saw the same social patterns as NFTs forming. I was like "this stupid chat bot fad will die out quickly, it's all slop frontends for the same chat bot".

I even made a point to differentiate LLMs from AI, because AI used to label something innovative.

And now I'm here vehemently avoiding LLMs. Cringing whenever I hear AI tacked on to a product name. Getting suspicious whenever I hear the word.

Not gonna lie but a hot honey marinade does not disappoint.

I wanted more Dropbox space. Self hosted Nextcloud when Docker became a thing.

Ended up getting a job in tech as I got better with containerization and better at programming from scripting and reading Data Structures books

We don't have to use it for anything other than compatibility.

Personally I'd very much like for ACPI to be un-fucked

Imagine calling a boycott over a Superbowl concert and not something like

  • rent fixing
  • ticket price fixing
  • grocery price fixing

What choice do we have?

We use Chrome in any number of different costumes, or we tiptoe sites that deliberately break when using Firefox.

I bought it on release day and got bored quickly.

I picked it back up two years ago and I played all the way through to the end.

Now I don't have much to do but play the expeditions and hunt for my favorite ships.

Currently I'm spacing bases out across each galaxy. It's still quite fun, and if you didn't complete the main story I think it's worth the purchase.

 

I recall seeing two sites shared in the comments on US politics posts but cannot find them again.

The sites were very predictive, and offered to sponsor interested individuals.

I recall they had a name similar to "get involved".

If some one has shared the sites, or recalls them, could you share them again?

I know a few particularly passionate people, with good motives, and relevant education, that could benefit greatly from having the prescriptive guidance and sponsorship.
