• Steam Machine is a mid gaming PC.
• You could DIY a similar or slightly more powerful machine yourself for cheaper, but not that much cheaper.
• Your DIY would probably not be as small or as quiet though.

My kid nephew says he wants to be a solider when he grows up, my brother encourages it... this comic hits hard... 😭

people like myself who love to work on projects, but often shy away from the commitment, discipline, and responsibility of seeing them through

Username checks out.

but I’ll probably pick up a steam controller!

See ya in 2027... 👋

You don’t like the one you posted to the Jellyfin comm

I don't know enough about it to form an opinion about it.

If not then why share it?

Because I thought it was interesting.

If you want GNOME: Bluefin or Bazzite.

Why Bluefin or Bazzite over just regular Silverblue? I'm running Silverblue on a Thinkpad and all the hardware works fine.

I installed Fedora Silverblue on my parent's laptop almost a year ago and I haven't had any complaints or issues.

They're really not tech literate or heavy users so Silverblue is the perfect fit. I installed and configured Librewolf and Bitwarden for them and everything has been running fine. Everything else is vanilla Silverblue.

They don't know or don't care about updating software. But Silverblue does flatpak updates automatically in the background. OS and firmware updates are integrated and handled via the Gnome Software Center, so I'll click the install button every so often when I visit. No terminal required! There is a password prompt, but at least it's a GNOME shell password prompt, not a terminal password prompt.

Additionally, I was able to get LUKS encryption working without my parents noticing: https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/...

It's not the most secure LUKS implementation, but I'm also not worried about state actors hacking my parent's laptop. Originally, I skipped the disk encryption entirely because the extra password prompt made it harder to use the computer.

Update: Actually, maybe there aren't any password prompts to update the system. Last night when I shutdown my laptop, I saw there was a "critical update" in GNOME Software Center. I left it alone and didn't click anything. But when I went to shutdown the laptop, the GNOME shutdown dialog had a marked checkbox that said something like "also apply OS updates on shutdown". I clicked shutdown and (again no password prompt) the computer shutdown. When I rebooted the computer today, I see there are no more pending software updates!

Do the requests at least seem plausible? My employer also tracks the requests I'm making, so they can see if I'm requesting bullshit or actual bullshit. If I suddenly jump to the top, I'm pretty sure they'll start asking questions...

Let the fools have their tartar sauce!

Uff.

To keep it simple, we're showing one of three estimated order windows:

    By December 2026  

    In 2027 (with additional information on specific timing to come)

❯ Claude, wtf! You told me we should bomb Iran! It didn't work!  
* wrangling  
You're right to push back. That's on me.  

Would you like me to draft a plan to bomb a similar country? 

As someone who maintains his own pool:

AAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Uh, hello? Why am I Mr. Sparkle?

Ugh. We have a leaderboard and now in our self employee reviews we have to answer:

How has AI improved your productivity? Where do you see future opportunities?

And I have to make something up. I can't answer that it hasn't helped. I don't want to get fired.

Android client here: https://github.com/fluxerapp/flutter_client

Yep, was just gonna say this.

Nice! I'm very tempted... I really like that it's SailfishOS. I bought an Xperia 10 III with SailfishOS and it works pretty decently. I've used the Android compatibility layer, it's pretty good.

I know it's not 100% FOSS, but maybe it's seeming like we could rally around SailfishOS for an alternative to Android and iOS.

A lot of magats in my town expected Iran to roll over.

"We're the most powerful country on Earth!'

God I hope so!
