My SteamVR games run poorly on Linux. They do run, but it’s a much rougher experience than running them through Windows.

It’s frustrating, because otherwise Linux is my primary gaming system!

I’m actually still trying to get one to work… might need to step back and make sure I can get base Dolphin to run it first!

Step away from hardware constraints for a moment, and consider the OS:

If the OS says a file is deleted, under no circumstances should the OS be able to recover it. Sure, certain tools may exist to pull it back; but it should be unavailable to the OS after that. And yet, apparently a software update was enough to recover these files. Thus, the concerns about data safety in an environment where the OS cannot be trusted to remove data when it says it has been removed.

I’d be happy with just the silver spoon, myself.

Straight to victim blaming?

I do think some of this is just fatigue. The usual way to deal with this is to either pick one or a few things to try to actively address, or just buckle down and wait for things to improve. Both lead naturally to a situation where it’s hard to get a critical mass of people to respond on any one subject.

The agreement that was a pop-up you could only accept?

My dog answered that before I got a look at it. Is that legally binding?

Often you can still find out what it does, but the “why” gets lost and because of that people are afraid to change it.

I feel like this is what gets lost whenever documentation is talked about. Yes, you should probably be able to work out what something does by looking carefully at it - but why can be so easily lost!

This isn’t hate for the investors, but for what they’ve pushed for. Discord was already profitable, this is just driving enshittification; per the article.

I would rather say it’s “predictable”, rather than “understandable”. Perhaps even, “no better than we can expect”. Calling this “understandable” tends to normalize greed for greed’s sake.

Yep, airships aren’t overpressurized like a balloon - any leak will be extremely slow, as the heavier ambient air gradually displaces the helium inside the airship through whatever hole might be created. As I understand it, one of the big maintenance issues they have is even finding the holes from normal wear and tear. The usual failure scenarios involve storms with huge pressure changes.

Pretty sure this is why they keep training it on books, movies, etc. - it’s already intended to make sense, so it doesn’t need curated.

Honestly, that part doesn’t strike me as any stranger than talking to someone wearing aviator sunglasses

One thing that surprised me in the article - I had no idea magma could be acidic!

It is not stealing. The data is still there. It is, at worst, copyright violation.

And because when a gas car catches fire, it isn’t even newsworthy

As a 41 year old, when I call someone in their early-mid 20s a kid, there’s no derision intended. Think about how you relate to someone who’s 12 or 16 when you’re 20 or so - they might be quite capable, even fun to hang out with; but their life experiences also give them a clearly different outlook. And, like as not, you feel a little more interest in making sure they’re getting along all right (at least I do!)

As you age, that doesn’t really change - but the “target age” where that comes into play follows you up! So at 26, you feel that way about people just coming into high school; at 30-35, about people getting out of college and starting their careers. My oldest kid is 6; and I feel this way now about most of the parents of my kids’ classmates! Makes for a fun juxtaposition, when they have older kids and know more about what we’re in for than I do :p

It can turn into something condescending, depending on the person; but I think it’s usually more of a statement that “I remember being where you were!”

I’ve got the cheaper commercial driven subscription, but I only see commercials on my Roku - if I browse to the Web site, it’s still commercial free!

Paramount+ still feels pretty buggy in general.
