Back in the KDE 4 days, you used to be able to run the whole DE on Windows.

Eat shit, buddy. I can’t help where I was born and I can’t afford to move somewhere else.

I think the ability to have an always-on display somewhat negated the need for a notification LED. It did for me, at least.

They already did it, actually

His accent alone would destroy whole planets

I think you mean “suite” instead of “suit.”

Sure it could have. They just needed to bolt a payment processor onto the whole mess and they’d have been printing money.

What happened with Mullvad?

At my final tech job, they were gearing up to fire me, and so they gave me the task of writing unit tests for a golang-based k8s deployer that was somewhere around 700k lines. They specifically told me to use Copilot for it, and for just about every function I tried to unit test, it tried to make sure that .onclick() was still working.

Yeah they ended up firing me.

If the Democrats were willing to negotiate at all, this would be an excellent starting point. Sadly, they’re going to stomp their feet and hold their breath until the whole thing gets scrapped and we’re back where we started. Part of me wonders if that isn’t the point.

Gamers are the biggest reason for the decline of the games industry. Entitled half-aware idiots demanding features that give them bigger and bigger hits of dopamine have driven the entire industry into the ground. The celebration of toxicity in the community hasn’t helped a damn thing, either.

It was, yeah. A lot of the infrastructure was still standing from when it was Oculus so it felt super detached from everything else.

As for the 80B, I can confidently say that a solid chunk of that went to software licenses, believe it or not. They were spending millions a year on their on-prem GitHub Enterprise server alone, which was technically redundant because the rest of Meta had an in-house Mercurial megarepo that, surprisingly, worked really well. They may have moved off of that by now, though, since I was last employed there in 2024.

Does Armored Core count as a souls game? The newest one kinda felt souls-ish, but the combat feels so different to me that I have trouble including it in the genre.

If it does count, then that’s literally the only one I’ve ever been able to tolerate.

Can Superman breathe underwater? Does he even need to breathe in the first place?

Yes. Life gets in the way sometimes.

The Intel Panther Lake chips apparently approach the same kind of battery life as the M-series chips, so the newer XPS machines actually look like a worthwhile competitor that’s capable of running Linux.

SSE2 is plenty, thank you very much.
