So, uh… Why does Elon even care about this?

Is this from that Iranian hack of the Trump organization or something?

(EDIT: Literal first paragraph of the article. Yes.)

Did they still find a way to blame their Western developers since they shed them all?

I’m legitimately worried about next gen, since Sony is doing the same thing with their pricing as GPU manufacturers.

That thing being, the increase in price is >/= the actual increase in performance. The PS5 Pro is a 75% price increase over the similarly disc-driveless $399 PS5 (hardware which is almost a half-decade old now).

There seems to be a TikTok campaign where certain people desperately want players to hate this game. I keep seeing this same skinny wispy-bearded dude over & over shitting on the game.

I keep seeing the videos, and what I watch just makes me say “It honestly doesn’t look bad to me.”

The Holy Trinity: VIM, Arch, and Rust

The regressions are what bum me out about playing Windows games on Linux.

Games like Yakuza 5, where Proton worked for awhile, but then broke. So you need to manually use year-old versions for the game to run correctly.

EDIT: Funny I should mention Yakuza 5, because I just tried it on this new version, and it works again. (No wrong audio on cutscenes. No getting stuck on the initial load screen when starting the game.)

Actual pharmacist here, working in pharmacy IT.

Unlike other industries, Pharmacy is not particularly thrilled about or interested in AI. In fact, my hospital explicitly blocks access to all LLMs.

I was actually kind of hoping to see what Microsoft is claiming here, and just walked away from this post more confused.

Strongly recommend a KDE-based distro if coming from Windows.

Gnome is too janky when you’re used to the workflow in Windows. It’s almost like Windows 8, which nobody uses if they can help it.

KDE is just way more familiar.

Congratulations. Your new position is…

This is an issue because of Steam’s 30% cut.

Other retailers take a smaller cut. But because Steam mandates that the Steam storefront always gets the lowest price, publishers can’t take advantage of that lower cut to offer lower prices. They can only lower the price to something that doesn’t torpedo them with a 30% cut on Steam.

SHHHH!!!

Monopolies and authoritarians aren’t bad as long as people like them! Hadn’t you heard?

The person I was arguing with was saying that “infrastructure is anything which is something anyone can do”. I gave an example of something that anyone can do which isn’t infrastructure.

It’s absolutely a direct refuation — a counter-example which disproves their original statement. It’s not a “straw man”, as much as you get mad and scream that it is.

I know that shouting “straw man!” is the first step of trying to deflect from being wrong on the Internet… But if you’re going to do it, at least know what a straw man is.

My argument is that “Infrastructure” != “anyone can do it”.

Infrastructure is something that benefits and maintains the general public. Bitcoin benefits a handful of cryptobros, billionaires… and most importantly ransomware rings.

I’m not using the sewer when I shit my pants. I don’t think you understand pants.

Anyone can shit their pants. Is that “infrastructure”?
