- Comment on Has anyone else noticed that Steam no longer requires self-updates that restart the client? 3 weeks ago:
I’ve seen the same thing. Seems like the new behavior is to just let me login, play, and it will get what it needs in the background and automatically update on next launch.
Makes sense not to bother me to update a 0.1 release change after launch (unless it’s urgent) when I just want to play Tetris.
Isn’t this the same behavior web browsers use? Background download and update on next launch?
Not complaining, I prefer this update cycle as default.

I get the joke, but did the person writing this have a stroke halfway through writing it?
- Comment on Whats the best Universally usable CRT Monitor for computers all trough the 80s and 90s? 7 months ago:
If you can get any kind of multiscan monitor you’re usually set for computers of that era. Connectors can be handled by passive adaptors if needed, but it is actually the refresh rate that is not always supported by the common VGA CRT (specifically the 15 kHz horizontal refresh rate).
Multiscan monitors had various names depending on the manufacturer. MultiSync, DiamondTron, SyncMaster, etc… so if you can get any CRT with 15 kHz support, you’re set.
- Comment on Fedora 42 Change Proposal Wants To Make KDE Plasma The Default Over GNOME 7 months ago:
I started using Fedora / GNOME as my daily driver on my laptop for a few months and can see where this change may be coming from. I really like how clean GNOME is and it works really well with smaller single screens (laptop) and multi-touch input /w gestures… but the reason I haven’t switched my desktop over is because I can’t see how that same design philosophy translates to a desktop environment with just a mouse and keyboard.
Trying to figure out how to manage background applications like chat programs, soft-phones, and even email seems to be an uphill battle with GNOME.
- Comment on Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered has a warning about racial and ethnic stereotypes 8 months ago:
While Crystal Dynamics didn’t specify which content it’s referring to, it’s speculated that it could be the animalistic depiction of Pacific Island natives in Tomb Raider 3, who are implied to be cannibals.
Like the fictional Indiana Jones style villages? Or the real life North Sentinel Island Sentinelese? I’m scratching my head too…

Good example of a click bait title.
- Comment on Favorite autumn inks? 1 year ago:
Unfortunately we’ve been in a heatwave and drought here, so the leaves are just changing from dead to more dead. However I think I may bring out Noodler’s Apache Sunset or Diamine Ancient Copper for my “walking around” pen.
- Comment on Fountain pen-friendly printer paper? 1 year ago:
It may be easier to find a more well behaved ink instead of trying to get everyone else at the office to use a heavier paper. However, Rhodia, Tomoe, and Clairefontaine are your go-to papers that are fountain pen friendly. But this isn’t exactly something you’d keep around to run through the office printer.
If this is a private printer and you’re running a few pages occasionally, you could get a decent A4 notepad and pull pages as needed.
