The 1984 Gibson novel Neuromancer begins with the line, “The sky above the port was the color of television tuned to a dead channel.”

At the time, this unambiguously meant the speckled gray of analog TV static: radio noise amplified and played out through a CRT’s scanning electron gun. However, before too many years had passed, new TVs started displaying a solid blue screen when tuned to a dead channel.

And in 1996, Neil Gaiman riffed on Gibson’s line, in Neverwhere: “The sky was the perfect untroubled blue of a television screen, tuned to a dead channel.”

If you’re looking for commercial games on Linux, Steam has pretty much solved this with the “Steam Play” compatibility feature, which uses a customized version of WINE to run Windows games. For example, Baldur’s Gate 3 runs perfectly. It should work anywhere Steam does.

Clearly this means it’s already ended. An you sure you’re not in an afterlife right now?

Everything is glowing all the time. At human body temperature, you’re glowing mostly in the infrared.

Ubuntu on Desktop I can understand.

Not anymore. A whole extra, unneeded, proprietary, locked-in package system. Ads in the default install.

There’s Mint, Pop!, and plenty of other options that actually respect the user.

They learned from the poets about metrical feet!

On the other hand, they could be yelling, “Yes! Keep going! You’re the best!” and you’re thinking of just quitting?

Remember SOAP? Remember XML-RPC? Remember CORBA?

Let’s be very clear about what this bill is.

The bill here proposes that if you tell me the true statement, “Here is the web address of an article on the New York Times web site,” then you owe the New York Times money.

This proposes to create a private tax on speech for the benefit of certain corporations.
