  • If you liked em dashes, you'll love ligatures.

  • Yeah, Linux has just under 3% share of the desktops.

    (... and most of the internet, cloud hyperscalers, mobile phones, tablets, TVs, routers, supercomputers... )

  • On top of all the damage AI unleashed into the world, there's that: it ruined em dash for people who appreciate typography.

  • I will pay to avoid inconvenience.

  • Are you sure about that? They sure exhibit a distinct lack of humanity.

  • I miss the consistency you had in old GUIs. A window is a window, and it has a border, a title and some buttons to control it.

    I despise client side decorations, like Gnome has. It makes all windows a special snowflake. Window decorations are the window manager's responsibility.

  • That was a long watch, but worth it.

    I missed some of the aspects discussed in the video when playing through Soma the first time, because I was expecting Amnesia like scary monsters.

    Guess I'll have to play it again.

  • It's never too late if you set your mind to it.

  • Look around you.

  • Checks Steam

    So it is. My bad. So that means I bought nothing this year. 😅

  • Richard Dean Anderson? I think he's more of a C4 kind of guy.

  • IIRC, Caldera also had a Tetris clone in the installer, so you could play while it installed itself.

  • Give me ssh, vi, bash and Linux kernel and I can get work done.

  • This lovely Christmas tune by those wonderful lads, Blink-182. Simply delightful.

  • The only 2025 game I recall buying is Darkenstein 3D. Simple and fun, just the way I like.

  • Respect.

  • What I want: a secure browser that does just that and nothing more.

    I'm so sick of AI everything.

  • You are deluding yourself if you think that books are immune to AI slop.

    Enshittification is coming for all things. It'll take a lot of careful human curation to keep finding the value among the deluge of crap.

  • The Trump administration will hopefully be replaced in January 2029, and up to then, it's not unlikely Dems take back the congress in 2026.

    "The emperor does not share your optimistical appraisal of the situation."

    At this point it seems simple for Trump to hold on to power like all the other cleptocratic dictators have done. You already have military on your streets and paramilitary forces cleaning the unwanted elements.

    I hope you are right and I'm wrong.
