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

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

  • How much are you willing to inconvenience yourself to save money?

    Jump

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

  • What's an unpopular UI opinion you have?

    Jump

  • 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.

  • The Lessons of SOMA Are Timeless

    Jump

  • 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.

  • If you had to replace the floppy disk save symbol in software with a new symbol for saving what would you choose and why?

    Jump

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

  • Look around you.

  • Steam Replay is live and notes only 14% "of playtime spent by all Steam users" was for 2025 releases

    Jump

  • Checks Steam

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

  • Avatar plot hole

    Jump

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

  • Flip flop

    Jump

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

  • What is your most important tool?

    Jump

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

  • What X-mas themed things do people who hate X‐mas like?

    Jump

  • 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.

  • New Mozilla CEO: "[Firefox] will evolve into a modern AI browser"

    Jump

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

    I'm so sick of AI everything.

  • Is entertainment getting worse or am I getting old?

    Jump

  • 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 USA and Europe are now enemies

  • 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.
