- Comment on Panasonic, the former plasma king, will no longer make its own TVs 1 day ago:
Sony partnered with/sold their TV division to TCL as well.
Strange for this news to come so soon after that. - Comment on Discord delays global age verification rollout after backlash - Dexerto 2 days ago:
I think it looks promising, but it’s still very early days. Hopefully they can gain more traction.
- Comment on New sodium ion battery stores twice the energy and desalinates seawater 2 days ago:
Some progress is being made, but it hasn’t seen large-scale adoption yet. Which is the point, as I read it.
- Comment on New sodium ion battery stores twice the energy and desalinates seawater 2 days ago:
It doesn’t really dispute it, though. Lithium-ion has seen a lot of improvement, yes, because it’s already a giant industry; other battery chemistries have a hard time breaking through because they require entirely different processes to manufacture.
I’m still rooting for it, but it’s not really the same thing. - Comment on Over 300 Malicious Chrome Extensions Caught Leaking or Stealing User Data 1 week ago:
Vivaldi is a bit more unique than just yet; but at the end of the day it is still Chromium, and will therefore never be my main browser.
- Comment on YouTube adds new hurdles for ad blockers, and there's currently no way around it 1 week ago:
I do like Nebula, but I don’t see that scaling up in that way.
And Spotify is basically YouTube, I don’t necessarily want to see them succeed either.
- Comment on ‘This shouldn’t be normal’: developers speak out about bigotry on Steam, the world’s biggest PC gaming storefront 1 week ago:
They removed the clown reaction, as well as the ability to get points for receiving reactions.
If that ever was an excuse, it no longer is. - Comment on YouTube adds new hurdles for ad blockers, and there's currently no way around it 1 week ago:

- Comment on Google criticizes Europe's plan to adopt free software 1 week ago:
The only thing corporations like Google “innovate” on is wealth extraction.
- Comment on 1 week ago:
Welp, that blog wasn’t linked anywhere on the main page. That actually makes it all seem a lot more reasonable, that’s good. It’s just difficult but to be skeptical in <current year>.
- Comment on 1 week ago:
I do have to wonder, given the age of the app and the seeming lack of contributors on GitHub, how vibe-coded is this app?
- Comment on 1 week ago:
I’m actually cool with projects being sustainable from the start, rather than hyper scaling off private equity funding before gutting features and selling them back at a later date.
Revolt/Stoat not talking about paid options at all on their main page makes me more suspicious, if anything.

Consoles, though I suppose those aren’t what you’re talking about.

And how do you go about that? Do you adjust your window size and extensions on a site-by-site basis?
- Comment on Valve Announces New Steam Machine, Steam Controller & Steam Frame 3 months ago:
I have a reasonable amount of faith in Valve. I think their rising tide lifts Linux as a whole, so that’s good.
- Comment on Valve Announces New Steam Machine, Steam Controller & Steam Frame 3 months ago:
I doubt Valve would back of from the openness
Not on the short term, but who knows. If SteamOS becomes a major player in the PC space, at a post-GabeN Valve–
But that will take many more years, if ever it does happen. I do think it is a legitimate reason to be somewhat cautious.
- Comment on Valve Announces New Steam Machine, Steam Controller & Steam Frame 3 months ago:
Maybe. As it stands Valve is rather open with their implementation, but who’s to say it will remain indefinitely so.
I do get the desire, though. I’ve gone to Bazzite and Fedora and – even though it’s a lot better than just a year ago – it still requires some commandline tweaking. It isn’t entirely smooth sailing yet.
Will SteamOS be? I do have some doubts. - Comment on Valve announces three new products: the Steam Frame, Steam Machine and Steam Controller 3 months ago:
Especially with microsoft seemingly giving up on (gaming) hardware
- Comment on Valve Announces New Steam Machine, Steam Controller & Steam Frame 3 months ago:
Those companies aren’t exactly releasing consumer-facing distro’s, though.
- Comment on Valve Announces New Steam Machine, Steam Controller & Steam Frame 3 months ago:
If you want to play just controller games, this one is probably overkill and maybe a bit bulky. I guess the HD haptics are neat.
Then again, it likely won’t be any more expensive than the scam amount of money microsoft charges for their basic, non-HAL effect controllers.
- Comment on Steam Hardware [new Steam Controller, Steam Machine, and VR headset Steam Frame, coming in 2026] 3 months ago:
Valve has only made mention of streaming bandwidth, nothing about the game being rendered (like how PSVR2 does it). Maybe there’s some sort of API games will be able to hook into, I seriously hope so.
- Comment on Linux gamers on Steam finally cross over the 3% mark 3 months ago:
Not necessarily.
Ubisoft might argue that it will open up another attack vector, with isn’t entirely unreasonable. But they could support it.
- Comment on Linux gamers on Steam finally cross over the 3% mark 3 months ago:
I can’t say having to fiddle around with Proton versions is exactly intuitive, though it has gotten better since last I tried it a year or so ago.
It is still not quite as smooth as it is on Windows, and I have tech-normie friends who want to do nothing more than download and press play.
- Comment on Linux gamers on Steam finally cross over the 3% mark 3 months ago:
BattlEye supports Linux, Ubisoft doesn’t.
- Comment on Linux gamers on Steam finally cross over the 3% mark 3 months ago:
EasyAntiCheat and BattlEye both support Linux/Proton, though not all devs have enabled/updated it.
