I mean they do both suck in their own special ways, but as a Linux user myself it’s still a night and day difference between the level they’re at and the level any given Linux distro is at. The only Linux devices that approach the level of “it just works” that MS and Apple devices do are locked down ones like phones, Chromebooks, and the Steam handheld.

I agree, but I also feel like the current level of fascism is “locked in” until further notice, so the best thing Trump’s death can accomplish is putting a pause on the escalation.

love that my work order says that the BOH computer update should finish in 15 minutes but the computer itself says to come back in three hours

Every Linux distro basically runs into the wall that is “all of these little problems require large institutional money to solve” which means that hobbyists and even the professional Linux distro teams like Red Hat stand no chance because they’re being compared to Microsoft and Apple. They can get a product that works really well don’t get me wrong, but the amount of time and effort to QA at the scale the major companies do for their OSes is on another level.

looks like the NYC DSA needs to

The joker would never.

every video game dev team should be forced to ask themelves, “would our game be better if we cut out the entire tutorial and just dropped the player into the map with everything unlocked at the start?” before releasing. i want to like Pokemon ZA (got it for Christmas) but it’s doing everything in it’s power to prevent that.

CA has an approved pistols list that they use as a catch all to keep this kind of stuff out. Would be very funny if it were allowed though, it’d pair perfectly with my Garand.

American spaceflight isn’t going anywhere, it’s just in the process of being privatized.

yeah the weasely language stuck out to me too. They technically claimed that the invasion and kidnapping of Venezuela’s President was a “law enforcement” action, so if any invasion happens I would be willing to bet that they’d say the exact same shit. “We’re going after the cartels, and Sheinbaum is the most notorious cartel leader since el Chapo”, etc.

Do you feel the same way about professional sports? If so then we just disagree but if you put esports in a different category then that’s a contradiction you need to examine.

fuck Gamers and everything but cheating and lying are still bad so

i liked it. about as subtle as a mallet to the brain, but they say you gotta meet your audience where they are.

I dunno which thing got spoiled for you, but I’ll say that there are multiple things
