Wild. UK folks have people who cosplay as Nazis and have the apologize.

Here in the States, we give them government platforms and call it free speech. Some even march in the streets unafraid.

Whenever I see those “All the companies that use us” banner, I shrug.

If I was a scammer, why wouldn’t I include a dozen companies?

The moment Musk fired engineers, I removed my account. Then I watched Twitter integration fail for a few applications Ive worked on, and removed that login/access.

From there, I watched multiple services fail. Ive watched spam bots take over. I watched drama after drama, Musk demanding weird choices like his tweets get priority.

It’s such a mess.

Vouching syncthing. Easily synced 2TB files between three computers.

The maintenance part crushed me. Most of my other self hosted home setup, I fiddle with at most 2-3 times a year. Next cloud, I logging in at least once a month because something wasn’t working.

Thanks for sharing that. My job set up NextCloud for cloud sharing and I thought it was pretty cool. Tried to set it up at home for sharing on a home network with my family and felt really confused. Every week there was a new problem that I had to solve and ended up going back just network drives and sharing.

In typical Valve fashion… They’ll keep slowly working at cool things while their competitors continue to shoot themselves in the foot.

Microsoft’s latest wtf with forced AI and screenshots of a user’s daily usage is pretty terrifying from a privacy standpoint, not to mention the forced technical upgrade. Companies are even switching to Linux now, which will drive adoption.

Linux is roughly at 3.88% market share. You don’t think we can bump Linux adoption to 99.9% in the next six months?

We just have to keep writing these “Year of the Linux” posts every year.

This is a really weird rant. Nintendo and Steam operate in two different markets. Nintendo is on the game console industry. Valve is on PC gaming.

Yes, you can play Nintendo games on PC, and by extension, Steam Deck.

But in no way is Nintendo interested in PC gaming.

Pretty much this. Experienced developers see AI just as a next level lorem Ipsum.

I never upgraded software-wise. Moreso my tech got so outdated that new hardware I’d get (I only use Windows for gaming) would have the latest Windows installed - exactly what Microsoft wants.

I think Proton/Linux in the past year is going to really disrupt that strategy.

Seen loads of trans people say they always knew.

Uh what?

When I was 8yo and saw that Ally McBeal episode, I was blown away by the idea of men and women sharing a bathroom. Then my sister looked me in the eye and said, “We share a bathroom.”

Figured it out that early.

Looking forward to the “when I wrote this code, only god and I knew how it works. Now only god knows” comments.

That was me with PHP a decade ago. I was moving towards it as everyone was moving to JavaScript.

And honestly I’m gaining an appreciation for it all.

We’re you thinking like Doom Lan party, or some weird supercluster with the pure focus of running Doom?

Wow way to flex that you can type without looking at the keyboard. What next? Show off how you can type with more than your index fingers? Show off.

Those gaming Chromebooks are so wild. I saw them for $1000!

The ones I saw a year ago was bragging about playing mobile games and Google Stadia.

But like… Why! Why spend that much when the alternatives are so much better?

When web apps took off a decade ago, I was secretly rooting for this.

OSes shouldnt matter anymore. Everything should funnel through a browser. WASM is already bringing traditional desktop apps to the web. Microsoft and Apple can die in a fire.

But with the migration, now the fight is to stop Google from owning browsers.

Well I mean, 640KB of memory ought to be enough for anybody.
