I hated this when battlefield did this with daily missions to unlock things. Like, fml, I just want to enjoy a complete game. Trinkets and skins mean nothing to me.

From my reading all ways to move the task bar have been removed.
- Comment on Linux Reaches 5% Desktop Market Share In USA 3 weeks ago:
I made the switch recently for probably the strangest reason.
I’ve been running win 11 for over a year using a shell tool that allowed me to move my task bar to the top of the screen and some other win 10 functionality.
However win 11 removed the ability to move the task bar and my shell program lost most of its functionality. After that I was done.
I’ve Linux off and on since 2002ish so it’s not scary to me and I’m pretty happy with Arch and KDE right now. Still the occasional crash that appears to happen sometimes when watching YouTube.

Jesus, my pool takes a little over a day, but I’ve only got around 100 gb how big is your pool?

It brings up a valid point. Assembly line manufacturing will soon require massive automation lines to remain profitable, and without massive government assistance in not just money, but education and training, these kinds of automation factories will likely never be fully realized here.

They are merely mimics. Mirrors of our worst desires. Feeding us the poison from the soul.
- Comment on Simple Wikiclaudia: Chrome extension that finds a simple.wikipedia.org version of any wiki article. If one exists, click to open it; otherwise, it uses Claude or ChatGPT to simplify it. 4 weeks ago:
Gross. Many of the technical articles on wiki are labors of love by talented people who do a great job breaking down complex concepts into fairly understandable terms.

- Comment on Forced E-Waste PCs And The Case Of Windows 11’s Trusted Platform 2 months ago:
I remember suse and Debian where ahead of the curve back then. Package managers really changed the game when they started showing up around then. I will admit I’m probably a little too cynical. But I had to run windows through college for various software, and until recently playing most games on Linux was quite the challenge. Steam has truly cracked the code. So I’m dipping my toes back into Linux for daily use. I’ve been running my truenas server for a few years now and run several Linux VM’s so I’m not starting from scratch.

Pretty sure this guy didn’t use Linux twenty years ago. Outside of very basic computing, Linux wasn’t very useful.
