Well I suppose they were right. Windows 10 was the last version of Windows for me. I'm okay with not using what little only works on windows. Unless you need something more niche/specialised, windows isn't worth the pain.

How many of us have to spam links to piratebay in comments on website-x, to have Google delist website-x in those countries?

The best solution to any problem is to go back in time to before the problem was created, sure. That cat's so far out of the bag, and it's only going to multiply and evolve.

No way would they have forced you to sign up to/in to meta either though.

Nah Gabe working on a god tier game. He just want to be able to say the same thing we all do.. "you mean, you have to use your hands?"

Where we're going, we don't need peripherals.

That's really the biggest problem I think Linux has, unfortunately it's also one of Linux's best features - it's not a uniform experience. Yours won't be the same as mine, etc.

Some things that should be simple aren't, and sometimes getting things going can be frustrating, and you will without question at some point have to troubleshoot and fix something.

I'm fortunate that I have a lot of background and experience in the industry, and I can understand people don't want to go to that trouble, just like people don't want to learn to cook.

Most things in Linux I find these days do plug and play to some degree, but there is absolutely missing effort and/or openness from the hardware vendors. Like not being able to configure macro keys/extra mouse buttons without a windows vm.

Having said that, I found the way windows was going, adding crap into the os that I don't want, and constantly changing where settings are etc. Changing my defaults, and so on. There's just too much I don't like about the way it's managed. Also, winsecure.

I got the rest from this guy named Ralph in an alley--stupid asshole didn't even charge me, he just told me to close my eyes and suck it out of a hose!

If I was a hiring manager and saw a video like this from a prospective employee I would just throw their application straight in the garbage.

You probably wouldn't be a hiring manager very long with that attitude. I don't get the appeal either, but I don't do tiktok so. Just from the linked piece, it sounds like it's becoming increasingly common.

Quite a leap to posting private company details online. Where are those stored by the way? Office 365? SharePoint? The cloud?..

I don't need steam to install your app on my pc, unless you choose it to be that way.

If they're games, protondb (.com) will tell you how well you can expect them to run. Other stuff, it's often a case of search the web or try and see. Wine takes some getting used to, you'll probably have to get your hands dirty and do a little learning.

They also built a search engine, and its results are also loaded with spammy, scammy garbage .. There's a lot of that on the internet. It'll be great when ai, or something can tell the difference better than I can.

We're just waiting for the environment to correct that problem.

HL3 will be a secret minigame you unlock after you beat the HL1 & 2 minigames on hard. Of course HL3 will have been worth the wait.

You can only extend at the end. You would need to move it first.

It's just not ready yet. Vr in general is too awkward, inconvenient and expensive. The stuff that's available now can be a lot of fun, but it's a long way from where it needs to be, to "change the world". And yeah, I wouldn't want it for free since the acquisition.

So they can put AI in everything and slurp all your data. Well at least, they don't say they aren't doing that.

Idk, I find this hard to believe. I would think the challenge is more access to the information (gates, bandwidth), a speedy vault to store that information, and improving their models.

When you think about what's available on the internet, how much of human knowledge and propaganda is out there. With enough/deus ex tech, there's no way ai shouldn't be able to learn most of anything with the knowledge available, and the right trainers.

Does that mean they can't be copyright anymore? I'll take it.

For free? Surely there's some way to get that shit out.. Or at least, the panel.
