Can someone explain just what exactly he did?

I tend to avoid social media drama like the plague.

I’ve spent about $125 on this game, and I would definitely get pissed if I bought in for all the promises they made.

However, I bought just to have a really pretty “Fly around in space while exploring my spaceship and listening to music” experience. It’s a vibe game. If they took out all the combat and lofty goals and just focused on making a really dope spaceship sim (with all the ship management, repairs, etc that they’ve promised) I would probably lose my life to it.

I hope they take a shot at written content again. It’s less a gaming website and more of a podcast network at this point.

Debian gets feature updates significantly slower than other distros, instead it focuses on insuring stability and security. It’s rock solid.

Linux Mint is actually based on Ubuntu (which itself is derived from Debian), so for the most part the two are fairly similar. There are a few key differences but for someone learning Linux you don’t need to worry about them. Pick one of them, get your feet wet, and then google the differences to see if you want to switch.

After all, endless Distro hopping is a right of passage for all fledgling Linux users! :)

I want to learn a Distro for fun.

Are you just using this laptop to dip your toes into Linux and see if you like it? I would recommend Debian + XFCE. It’s lightweight, it prioritizes stability over new features, and it’s a fairly easy UI for a newbie to understand. Alternatively Linux Mint MATE Edition might be worth a try. It’s also lightweight but is a bit more “up to date” than Debian feature wise.

Oh they finally fixed the bloody dock. I used it ages ago when it was still oval and those square icons looked terrible on it. This is much better.

Have they given any updates on HDR support? I remember them mentioning years back that they planned it for the final release but I’ve not heard anything since.

I actually restarted halfway through because I leveled up so much that every enemy (even animals) were miserable to fight.

I realized you only leveled up when you slept so I just never slept. Game was way easier.

They also don’t have to sign it.

Maybe I’ve just used MacOS so long that I’m out of touch, but installing unsigned applications is effectively a mild annoyance.

I never got to run BeOS (well…when it was modern), but it’s really depressing just how insanely better it was than the competition. Ditto Amiga.

I like how they show a thin sliver of something that looks like a standard terminal output instead of a screenshot of what this actually looks like on your desktop.

SteamOS-like distributions probably aren’t for you right now. nvidia has massively improved over the year but it’s still not on par with AMD.

Using an immutable distro (which Steam OS and its kind are) is just going to complicate things. Your easiest bet is using a distro that will install the correct drivers at install, like pop_os or mint.

If you want SteamOS there are plenty of options that are effectively the exact same thing but with a different name.

The “Story Points = Hours” hits so goddamn hard. Like, tell me you don’t fucking understand scrum without telling me you don’t understand scrum.

We had a nice, effective production process on my team until a middle manager assigned to communicate with us started in with the whole “We can’t spare this many points” bullshit.

My criticism is that it largely ignores the primary advantage of Fediverse services (Decentralizing services that are designed to operate Centrally), while mostly explaining what I’ve always considered to be the most pointless feature (Cross Service posting).

It’s a mildly neat feature if you want to centralize your entire social profile under one account (which is my security nightmare but you do you), but its not really fundamental to using federated services and its implementation can be inconsistent and confusing.

Maybe have a bunch of “Lemmy” (or whatever) nodes arranged in a circle, the same color, with the same icon, and connected to each other through the middle of the circle (not connecting to the “fediverse”, although I guess you could have a transparent “Lemmy” super imposed over it) Then have the users connected to each node. Or something…I’m on a bench and just broadly visualizing it.

The next trick is explaining the fault of centralized services in a graph.

Requiring someone to have an account on a federated instance would mitigate a fair amount of spam and ease moderation.

What would that solve that mandating accounts for a standard wiki wouldn’t?

Can you elaborate on “discoverability”? Finding individual subject wikis has never been a particular problem for me. Even ones that don’t use Fandom, provided they are at least active. Just googling “<insert subject> wikia” (I know. I can’t let it go) always gets me what I need.

Can’t say I see an advantage to universal accounts (I see more disadvantages), but if that’s the big selling point and people really want it. I’m not opposed to having it, i’ve just always treated it as a mild novelty I never use.

As for decentralization, it has already been solved by MediaWiki. Which is GPL and (can be) self-hosted.
