- Comment on Steam Hardware [new Steam Controller, Steam Machine, and VR headset Steam Frame, coming in 2026] 1 week ago:
Really excited for this and hopefully that means steamvr on Linux will actually start working better! The current Beta build is much better but still lots of work to do.
I’m definitely getting the frame as upgrade from quest 3 which I rarely use due to it being attached to Meta. The controller is no brainer considering that old steamdeck controller is still one of the best controllers on the market. Not sure about steam machine mostly because I just built my own PC - would have totally waited for it if I knew it was coming but it looks so slick.
Very excited for Linux in 2026!

except when it’s sharing harmful content like pedophilia? no?
- Comment on Reddit’s CEO Debuts As A Billionaire 20 Years After Cofounding The Company 2 weeks ago:
Not to defend it but people have a bit of selective bias here as it was not “very young girls” but <18. Still nasty but it was not out right full pedo shit and more geared to cringe teen culture at the time. Then the subreddit became a big free speech topic and people straight up started posting young teens to really push the topic which proved reddit’s free speech stance wrong and they banned the subreddit.

Worth mentioning that at that time you could add anyone as moderator and they wouldn’t even know or decline the mod rights.
- Comment on Nearly 90% of Windows Games now run on Linux, latest data shows — as Windows 10 dies, gaming on Linux is more viable than ever 3 weeks ago:
Been a while since I used windows but afaik docs are much worse on that side of things. At least on Linux you find some command or smt that could fix your issue, many windows problems are unsolvable and completely undocumented. There isn’t even a centralized log system like journalctl on windows so every error is just an alert pop up that says nothing or just complete silence.

Immutable distros just add endless headache for new users
I disagree here. Sure it makes copy/paste computing a bit harder but it also prevents newbies from working themselves into a dysfunctional operating system which happens way more often than you’d think. People open a port or set some system variable for one thing and never set it back breaking everything else. With immutable system new users are forced into sustainable, reversible and transparent solutions.
The issue is that immutable linux is still pretty new so some mutable solutions aren’t adapted in immutable ways yet but if you’re just gaming you should never be on that side of the bleeding edge anyway.

I’ve converted all my gaming to linux including vr and couldn’t be happier! Even hardware works flawlessly these days with the exception of VR. I’m still struggling to get No Man’s Sky to work on my quest 3 and linux VR and thats really the only thing I’m missing but it seems close to working just needs more fiddling.

Weird take.

Everything is “linked” - your point is moot.

I’ve been thinking a lot about this since chatgpt dropped and I agree with Sam here despite the article trying to rage bait people. We simply shouldn’t protect the job market from the point of view of identity or status. We should keep an open mind of jobs and work culture could look like in the future.
Unfortunately this issue is impossible to discuss without conflating it with general economics and wealth imbalance so we’ll never have an adult discussion here. We can actually have both - review/kill/create new jobs and work cultures and address wealth imbalance but not in some single silver bullet solution.

I’m saying corporations break the law if nobody checks - why wouldn’t they?

There’s no independent audit for GDPR compliance so the only way to know would be if someone whistleblows. There are also so many loopholes that allows to keep the data like “to prevent further abuse” or “some legal reason”.
So if reddit bans your account they can keep all data and you can’t do anything about it even with GDPR.

- Comment on Hackers can steal 2FA codes and private messages from Android phones 5 weeks ago:
As someone already pointed out it’s a lost game regardless of platform as long as closed source software is used on any machine anywhere it’s fundamentally unsafe. Black market operators like Israel’s Pegasus have been selling ios day 0 exploits for years and there are probably hundreds that exist out there.
The good part is that these rare exploits will not be used on you because they are too valuable the bad part is that the only way against them is full system transparency which is not happening anytime soon.
- Comment on Everyday AI looks more like the '08 housing bubble 1 month ago:
Yes, contemporary economy and free markets are so imaginary now that cascading effects and bubble pops like 2008 are very unlikely. American stock market in particular is so far off reality (even before AI boom) that it’s basically a video game with no actual relevancy to true gross product.
- Comment on Everyday AI looks more like the '08 housing bubble 1 month ago:
Ah yes “the stoopit west har har” propaganda lol
- Comment on Everyday AI looks more like the '08 housing bubble 1 month ago:
Unpopular opinion but this will not as bad as housing bubble and we’re way past bubbles actually popping in contemporary economy. Even China corrected for its massive ghost city housing bubble just recently and that was actually worse than ai tech overvaluation.
