- Comment on SteamOS alternative Bazzite adds support for OneXPlayer plus improvements for ROG Ally 5 weeks ago:
Great! Competition is wonderful.
To be fair, I think the true heart of steamos (besides arch and just being great) is what they’ve done for proton, which all of these alternative distros benefit greatly from and make them feasible. It’s like X or Wayland. Proton is just foundational (thank you wine) to gaming on Linux being successful. So even if they don’t spend the time to support other handhelds running steamos, they really are with what they’ve done with proton.

Now your car won’t drive due to critical functionality and is bricked til you take it to the dealership.
- Comment on Tidal launches royalty tracking features for artists 2 months ago:
I like tidal. Switched to them from Spotify and have been very happy. Feels like tidal treats artists better and has some lossless quality.

- Comment on Congressman rebuked for call to bomb Gaza ‘like Nagasaki and Hiroshima’ 7 months ago:
Totally unvetted source so grain of salt just the first link on a Google search, but this was essentially what I was trying to say: euromedmonitor.org/…/Israel-hit-Gaza-Strip-with-t…
- Comment on Congressman rebuked for call to bomb Gaza ‘like Nagasaki and Hiroshima’ 7 months ago:
Lol you all entirely missed my point.
My point is that the total gigatons of bombs that they’ve dropped on Gaza is quite likely quite similar to the power of the original nuclear bombs. Modern nukes are obviously vastly more powerful. I also may be still vastly underestimating the power of the original bombs but my point was ultimately about how much of Gaza they’ve already razed with bombs.

Haven’t they already though?

Interesting. One advantage I could see to federation would be the ability to process some content on a delay at times of high load. I.e. prioritize local content then catch-up on federated content as possible. I assume that isn’t how it works rn?
That could help alleviate federation forcing smaller instances to have to keep up with at least similarly big hardware requirements.

- Comment on The Callisto Protocol’s action-roguelike spin-off is to Hades what the sci-fi horror shooter was to Dead Space 8 months ago:
I even missed the reference of the Callisto Protocol being a horror shooter akin to dead space. Makes more sense now. ;)
- Comment on The Callisto Protocol’s action-roguelike spin-off is to Hades what the sci-fi horror shooter was to Dead Space 8 months ago:
Agreed terrible. Tldr: In the same way that dead space defined a genre of horror shooters, Hades defined a class of rogue likes. The makers of calysto protocol are using that formula in a new game codenamed project Birdseye.
And it looks fun!

- Comment on The Best Easy & Hard to Kill Houseplants 1 year ago:
I agree. They totally adapt. Key is consistency. Once moved my aloe into lots of sun from not and that was the real issue.
- Comment on The Best Easy & Hard to Kill Houseplants 1 year ago:
Aloe vera doesn’t like too much sunlight. You want ambient light / not a lot of indirect light. Maybe 1-2hrs tops per day. No expert but that was my finding with aloe.

- Comment on Israel attack: PM says Israel at war after 100 killed in attack from Gaza 1 year ago:
Tell that to all the thousands of innocent citizens slaughtered by Israel. Both sides have done awful things. We give Ukraine a free pass to defend themselves in the face of an attacking country, yet somehow defend Israel in their oppression and isolation of a people. Fucking sick of the free pass that Israel has gotten for far too long.

- Comment on Georgia grand jury recommended charging three US senators 1 year ago:
This is the problem with radicalization. Get enough of a percentage to never hold them accountable, and you can be relatively unfettered to act as you please with little consequence from the law. The key is to slowly go more radical as you push the boundaries of what a large enough percentage are simply comfortable with ‘whatever means necessary’.
