Wow that takes me back
- Comment on Windows 10 LTSC – the version that won't expire for years 18 hours ago:
I don’t know what games other commenter has, but my understanding is that there are a lot of issues with anti-cheat software not working properly with Linux.
Although I don’t really have a direct interest in buying a Steam deck, I’m hoping that its popularity helps push for games to be more Linux-friendly.
- Comment on Windows 10 LTSC – the version that won't expire for years 18 hours ago:
You’re not going to get “improvements” in Windows, that should be clear by now.
This is the crux of the issue. Holding out for improvements … that aren’t coming.
I have Windows 11 and am unlikely to change this computer (though who knows), however I absolutely plan on my next build being Linux. I might start tinkering around in a VM.

A graduation gift worth more than most people will earn over an entire career.
- Comment on What programs do you wish a good FOSS alternative existed, but doesn't or most of the FOSS alternatives simply aren't good? 3 days ago:
That’s disappointing. Which one has this issue?
Fwiw, I have used OpenOffice and OnlyOffice. I actually haven’t used LibreOffice specifically.
- Comment on What programs do you wish a good FOSS alternative existed, but doesn't or most of the FOSS alternatives simply aren't good? 4 days ago:
Libreoffice and other FOSS alternatives just simply don’t come close
I really only use Word and Excel, and I find the FOSS alternatives just fine. I can understand if power-users might find the newer features worthwhile, but for basic word processing and spreadsheets the FOSS options are good enough.
- Comment on Boarding passes and check-in could be scrapped in air travel shake-up 1 week ago:
I’ve honestly come to despise air travel. I take one round-trip per year; I’m not giving up visiting family and it is too far to reasonably drive.

- Comment on 6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux? 2 weeks ago:
I bought a new computer a few years ago that has 11 on it. With how the Steam Deck has seemed to really promote Linux for gaming, I’m seriously considering it on my next build.
It is very obvious to me that Windows is becoming increasingly subject to enshittification.
- Comment on 6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux? 2 weeks ago:
I have 11, so not directly affected. But with “no more security updates” being the only real reason one needs to change, the obvious question here is if there is 3rd party software that can protect a Windows 10 system?
I remember when anti-virus software was in common use.

Bold of them to assume I use Google when googling things.
- Comment on Most Americans think AI won’t improve their lives, survey says 2 weeks ago:
AI has it’s place, but they need to stop trying to shoehorn it into anything and everything. It’s the new “internet of things” cramming of internet connectivity into shit that doesn’t need it.
- Comment on Self-Driving Teslas Are Fatally Striking Motorcyclists More Than Any Other Brand: New Analysis 3 weeks ago:
The argument is that humans can drive with just 2 eyes, so cameras are enough. I disagree with this position, given that the limitations of a camera-only system. But that’s what it is.
Different sensors excel at different tasks and different conditions, and cameras are not always it.

Good luck. They’re fucking everywhere, at least where I live.
- Comment on Self-Driving Teslas Are Fatally Striking Motorcyclists More Than Any Other Brand: New Analysis 3 weeks ago:
this makes me never want to bike in the US again.
I live close enough to work for it to be a very reasonable biking distance. But there is no safe route. A high-speed “stroad” with a narrow little bike lane. It would only be a matter of time before some asshole with their face in their phone drifts into me.
I am deeply resentful of our automobile-centric infrastructure in the U.S. It’s bad for the environment, bad for our wallets, bad for our waistlines, and bad for physical safety.

But that just means that viewing it is opt-in rather than default. Since most people probably won’t bother to install those apps, the farmed karma won’t be worth squat.

- Comment on Terrified friends burn to death trapped in Tesla as doors won't open after crash 5 months ago:
but that’s not the only questionable design decision on the X.
They didn’t want sliding doors because that makes it a minivan. And minivans are “uncool”
- Comment on Terrified friends burn to death trapped in Tesla as doors won't open after crash 5 months ago:
When I first learned that Teslas (and almost all other EV’s) have electronic only doors
I really just want a regular car with an EV power train. Don’t to change a bunch of shit on the car, unless it is germane to its function as an EV. Things like doors, instrument clusters, turn signals, infotainment, HVAC controls, shifting (e.g. park, reverse, drive) should be the same as any other vehicle.

Not only redundancy, but different types of sensors actually serve different purposes because they excel at different tasks.
- Comment on Elon's Death Machine (aka Tesla) Mows Down Deer at Full Speed , Keeps Going on "Autopilot" 5 months ago:
The rest of the industry said LIDAR is important and focus on trying to make it more practical.
Volvo is using LIDAR. I trust them way more than Tesla when it comes to something pertaining to safety.

If it were anything other than money, it would be considered a hoarding problem in need of treatment.
