- Comment on SteamOS finally released by Valve 1 week ago:
Yes, like any Linux running KDE. With Steam installed.
- Comment on The AI-powered collapse of the American tech workfoce 1 week ago:
Lots and lots of others have laid off. Presumably some better companied have added jobs in the meantime.
- Comment on Stack overflow is almost dead 1 week ago:
Thats been my experience as well.
On SO it seems much more likely that the answers answering a different question have a negative score.
- Comment on Stack overflow is almost dead 1 week ago:
I never once actually asked a question there. Partly because most of the time, the question I was asking had always been asked.
However, I have found the correct answer to 100s of questions there. Usually through google/ddg/kagi searches.
- Comment on Stack overflow is almost dead 1 week ago:
This is interesting because a huge amount of AI “knowledge” comes from stack exchange.
Now I’ll go read the other comments and article to see if that’s already been mentioned :)
- Comment on The Windows Subsystem for Linux is now open source. 2 weeks ago:
Best?
- Comment on Spotify caught hosting hundreds of fake podcasts that advertise selling drugs 2 weeks ago:
That dossn’t seem like “one path” if it’s almost the exact opposite of what they were saying.
- Comment on People have private conversations on speaker phone but if I participate then I'm the crazy one 2 weeks ago:
Use your shoulder? Or a headset?
- Comment on ‘Doom: The Dark Ages’ DRM Is Locking Out Linux Users Who Bought the Game 2 weeks ago:
A bunch of people are like that, too.
It’s like buying some expensive bottle of wine, thwn chugging half. And throwing the rest away.
- Comment on ‘Doom: The Dark Ages’ DRM Is Locking Out Linux Users Who Bought the Game 2 weeks ago:
Unless it was a new Harry Potter apparently.
- Comment on ‘Doom: The Dark Ages’ DRM Is Locking Out Linux Users Who Bought the Game 2 weeks ago:
Oh no?

Read the article?

KDE Neon here. I really really like it.
- Comment on There are people who are still using toilet paper purchased during the pandemic. 2 weeks ago:
Right, you just use, you know, non-disposable diapers in that case.
- Comment on Google restores Nextcloud user’s file access on Android 2 weeks ago:
I keep starting to set up nextcloud (or something) for files, but then wondering why I wouldnt just use NFS/SMB.
- Comment on Google restores Nextcloud user’s file access on Android 2 weeks ago:
Good.
- Comment on No, Steam wasn’t hacked, and your account details are safe 2 weeks ago:
What if they write it down in a single, centralizedz password manager? Which itself could be compromised?
That’s the only way I can keep the literally 100 accounts ive accumulated over the years straight, without reusing passwords.
And while I believe that is reasonably secure in my case, if that got compromised I’d be pretty screwed (well, 2fa would probably still limit the worst of it). But most people probably wouldn’t even be that secure about it.
- Comment on No, Steam wasn’t hacked, and your account details are safe 2 weeks ago:
Doesn’t hoit!
- Comment on People have private conversations on speaker phone but if I participate then I'm the crazy one 2 weeks ago:
Why would you want to use speakerphone anyway? Especially in a public place where they’d be harder to hear?

It can be both!

Unrelated, but Moby Dick was named after a real white whale named Mocha Dick, which was nicknamed after first being encountered near Mocha Island.
- Comment on Nextcloud cries foul over Google Play Store app rejection 2 weeks ago:
It needs access to the file system. But why would it need access to the whole thing? Just download to its own storage, no? Then use something else to copy elsewhere.
Unless this is to support saving to any folder, or built in smb support or something.
- Comment on Nextcloud cries foul over Google Play Store app rejection 2 weeks ago:
Wait, why would libretorrent require all files access?
- Comment on Even Starfield's community patch modders are growing 'disenchanted' with the sci-fi RPG, as volunteers depart in droves: 'If nobody comes forward, we may have to retire the project' 3 weeks ago:
What would you say the concept is?
A just curious
- Comment on Things at Tesla are worse than they appear 3 weeks ago:
ok but your comment isn’t related to this particular case
- Comment on Things at Tesla are worse than they appear 3 weeks ago:
sit on them until the stock gets like a 1-day 5% drop so they can misrepresent the situation
ok, but that didn’t happen here
- Comment on YSK: The Guardian is one of the only newspapers in Australia and Britain to refuse all gambling ads 3 weeks ago:
Yes, yes, we get it. Everyone and everything is always bad all the time and nothing can be just a good thing. You’re addicted to outrage.
- Comment on U.S. seeks breakup of Google's ad-tech products after judge finds illegal monopoly 3 weeks ago:
It’s not fun from the inside (not Google).
- Comment on Windows Is Adding AI Agents That Can Change Your Settings 3 weeks ago:
Side-thing, but man am I very happy with Neon and where KDE is overall.
Finally went to Linux Desktop as my main, after trying off and on for 20 years.
