- Comment on Should I use Microsoft Copilot? 5 months ago:
I’ve found Copilot helpful for some research and queries where I’m not really sure what I’m looking for, or when I’m sure something exists but not its exact form, or exactly where it is.
It’s unclear what you’re intending to use Copilot for. I wouldn’t trust it for anything unattended eg answering an email for me.

Get a cheap used phone with a headphone port and sd card slot?

Anyone else getting Manna vibes from that?

Google doing away with cookies also conveniently shifts away most ad processing from their servers into Chrome (while killing their competition).
OOTL, what’s going on here? Distributed processing like Folding@Home, but for serving ads to make Google more money?

- Comment on Steam keeps on winning 10 months ago:
I agree with all your points… but… IMHO some things keeping Steam honest are services like GoG and if course the High Seas, but more than that there’s the plethora of other entertainment options.
This isn’t housing, air, or water. A person can just not play if it’s too much hassle or too costly. If Steam or any given entertainment option isn’t worth using, people just won’t. There’s no shortage of things to do other than play games, much less use Steam for gaming.
I agree that we shouldn’t imagine Steam will never change, nor should we blindly worship or glorify Valve/GabeN. I just think that games and entertainment generally is an arena where market forces actually work to benefit the consumer.
Of course employment practices and company culture is a whole 'nother thing…
- Comment on How many of you actually use the headphone jack on your phone? 10 months ago:
A couple times a week. Tried going without, but missed it too much. Now a headphone jack is a key requirement.

Or maybe build it into some neat cowboy hats?
- Comment on Microsoft Will Charge for Windows 10 Security Updates in 2025 11 months ago:
Probably on the side of the screen, which is also where I like it. This change was actually a tipping point for me giving Linux another chance for daily driving.

From this angle the costume looks kind of like firefighting gear.
