- Comment on The best Linux distributions for gaming in 2026 1 day ago:
I felt like they could have mentioned more than just Fedora and Bazzite. To my understanding, Endeavor and PopOS! are both serious contenders and they didn’t even get an honorable mention. I’m sure there’s others as well, but they just sort of act like there’s 1 best option.

None of these metrics actually measure anything comparatively. They say things like it “tows a car” and “lifts 270lbs”, but under what circumstances? Surface area? Temperature? Sheer force?
There’s also no comparison against other adhesives to know how these values compare.
I don’t doubt it’s an impressive accomplishment. I just wish I could get an idea for how impressed I should be.
- Comment on My friend is buying a new PC and he is deciding between air cooler and AIO, which should be get? 4 days ago:
Unless you’re overlocking or just have really bad case design, either one will fair about the same. I went with an AIO purely for the aesthetic and haven’t had a single issue. Install was pretty easy too. I haven’t heard many horror stories of the AIO loops failing catastrophically but that’s anecdotal at best.

- Comment on Explained: Why you can't move Windows 11 taskbar like Windows 10, according to Microsoft 2 weeks ago:
In that case, based on the roughly 1.5 billion Windows users, that’ll only affect a mere 75 million users for a feature that’s been there since Windows 95.
- Comment on Explained: Why you can't move Windows 11 taskbar like Windows 10, according to Microsoft 2 weeks ago:
If they were using that data, then they would have included features people actually use in 10. Or maybe they’re just doing the inverse of whatever the data suggests.
- Comment on Explained: Why you can't move Windows 11 taskbar like Windows 10, according to Microsoft 2 weeks ago:
Microsoft applied a data-driven approach to find out which features to add now, which features to add later, and which to completely avoid.
WHAT DATA?!
- Comment on Netflix acquires gaming avatar maker Ready Player Me 2 weeks ago:
This is just execs not understanding game engines again. This was supposed to be the original concept for NFTs and it’s still a bad idea for any game with artistic merit.
Even if you get past the technical reasons of why this won’t work well, artistically, your avatar will clash with any game that’s not targeting these avatars. And I bet that any game that does target itself to look good with these avatars will look worse for it.
You can’t just take a 3d model and slap it into a game world and expect it to look good everywhere because it looked good in one environment.

- Comment on “Everybody talks about wanting to change things and help and fix, but ultimately all you can do is fix yourself. And that's a lot. Because if you can fix yourself, it has a ripple effect.” 2 weeks ago:
This will be a generalization, so it doesn’t apply to all cases, but for the most part, you are far worse at helping others of you’re unable to help yourself. If you’re unable to show others as an example of the fruits of their labor of change, it will be far more difficult to lead them to helping themselves.
The goal is not to hand people fish. It’s to teach them. If you just give someone your help without teaching them, they will only become reliant on that help.

TGFM - Thank God for Markdown
Seriously, though. 9 times out of 10, markdown has all the formatting I need for the task at hand. On the rare occasion I need something more, I’m glad I have access to Apple Pages, but it comes with its own set of unique challenges.
