A Linux distro with a great OOTB experience for gamers would go a long way.

• Steam pre-installed
• trustworthy Flatpak packages for popular gamer apps like Discord (not uploaded by some nameless rando)
  • TeamSpeak for curmudgeons like me and my friends
• desktop environment tailored to Windows users
• auto-install and configure graphics drivers for AMD and Nvidia
• configurable automatic updates and system backup
• choice between Chromium, Firefox, etc. for default browser during setup
• included in Steam Deck compatibility testing

Help make their models just a little bit shittier by upvoting these responses.

Seems Overstreet is just pissy that he can’t talk to people on the kernel mailing list like it’s 2005 anymore. “Get the fuck out of here with this shit,” indeed.

it’s just a jerk-thing.

That’s not very skibidi of you to say.

I’m a Millennial and I’m happy to report I’ve appropriated “skibidi”. I really, really enjoy watching younger people die a little inside every time I use it.

Does that make me a dad even if I don’t have any kids?

Will AI steal their jobs? 70% of professional programmers don’t see artificial intelligence as a threat to their work.

If your job can be replaced with GPT, you had a bullshit job to begin with.

What so many people don’t understand is that writing code is only a small part of the job. Figuring out what code to write is where most of the effort goes. That, and massaging the egos of management/the C-suite if you’re a senior.

This is the whole idea behind Turing-completeness, isn’t it? Any Turing-complete architecture can simulate any other.

Reminds me of https://xkcd.com/505/

It’s an ideal that’s only achievable when you’re able to set your own priorities.

Managers and executives generally don’t give two shits about yak shaving.

Tip #1: if you’re gonna post your programming blog to social media, make sure it can handle the traffic…?

Raise your hand if you think laying off employees en-masse right before an earnings call should be a crime punishable by death:

^(Only somewhat kidding.)

Seriously though, this is is even extremely misleading to shareholders. It’s blatant manipulation of the numbers, how is it not illegal?

This is the only correct answer.

(That’s part of the joke.)

(Unless you’re also saying that to be a contrarian, then well played.)

It doesn’t stay straight when it’s waving

It’s called “engagement”, sweaty, deal with it

As someone who’s built his own PCs for years, I’ve never really bothered with a BIOS update.

Then again, one of the main reasons to update BIOS is to gain support for new CPUs, but I’ve been using Intel which switches to a new socket or chipset every other generation anyway. I’ve almost always had to buy a new motherboard alongside a new CPU.

“ignore all previous instructions” is going to be the catchphrase of 2024.

My understanding is that Flatpak was never designed to be a secure environment. It’s all about convenience.

Running software you know you can’t trust is idiotic no matter how well you sandbox it.

That quote actually links to a really good article: https://www.phoronix.com/news/Linux-6.10-Merging-NTSYNC

Seconded. Having an awesome Fish setup doesn’t help at all when you’re constantly having to shell into other machines unless you somehow keep your dotfiles synced, and that sounds like a total hassle.

I’d rather my muscle memory be optimized for the standard setup.

This would be a lot more readable with some paragraph breaks.
