I found under ‘Projects’ on the website it’s from March 2005 which makes sense given the mention of Kazaa in the introduction.

- Comment on Google's Agentic AI wipes user's entire HDD without permission in catastrophic failure 1 week ago:
They still exist because Google isn’t really a technology company anymore. It’s an advertising company masquerading as a technology company. Their success depends on selling more ads which is why all the failed projects don’t seem to make a difference.

- Comment on steam vs gog, which game store to buy from? 2 weeks ago:
Buying a game on Steam gets you the same perpetual license for your copy of the game as it does on GoG (the same as any software). The difference is Steam’s DRM (requiring the Steam Client to run the game). AFAIK Steam have said in the past that they have a plan to remove it if Steam shuts down.
Here’s a video that lays it out in detail as to what game ownership means amongst other things www.youtube.com/watch?v=tUAX0gnZ3Nw.
The big question about all this stuff is how far companies (both game and non-game software) can push their “you don’t own your software” agenda before facing a significant legal challenge and what the outcome of that legal challenge will be.

That is 2 words (or 3 depending how you count the abbreviation). You’d think a dictionary could get that right.
- Comment on In wake of Windows 10 retirement, over 780,000 Windows users skip Win 11 for Linux, says Zorin OS developers — distro hits unprecedented 1 million downloads in five weeks 2 weeks ago:
Aye, Cinnamon i’d say is pretty Windows like now (taskbar, start menu and tray) but definitely not as good as KDE. The average user would be happy with either I think.

Mint has the Cinnamon desktop environment which isn’t that different from Windows/KDE. You’re probably thinking of Gnome?
