Yeah, I'd love at least one USB A type cause most of the peripherals I own use that.

legit scenario where such a tool is actually needed

The "legit" reason has nothing to do with user experience and everything to do with Microsoft & their 874,289,532 advertising partners.

Regardless of the marketing spin they're putting on it now - Recall will be used for mass data collection and training MS's LLM. They'll wait for enough adoption of Win11 & Recall before putting the "release of information" clause into their T&Cs.

Recall isn't for users. It's for Microsoft.

Fuck firewire. Glad it's dead. USB C is the best thing to happen to peripherals since the mouse.

The thing is - there is no evidence of sexual misconduct. He's been investigated by just about everyone from local cops to the FBI since the early 90s, and despite the outcry there's never been evidence. Considering how our justice system dealt with another high-profile figure's history of sexual abuse, I have to believe something concrete would've turned up by now.

Inappropriate? Absolutely. Illegal? Pedophilia? Doubtful. I mean, provided we genuinely believe in "Innocent until proven guilty" ideal...

Notes while I'm watching:

  1. The "vibe" is different - in my head I translated this to "he likes the GUI more"
  2. Minetest has zero "story" / progression (so no Ender Dragon to gear up for & fight) - it's purely a sandbox experience.
  3. better performance, apparently runs on potato laptops pretty well
  4. Mods are built-in, and don't require tools like Forge or whatever to tweak a jar file ⬅️ THIS is cool!
  5. Customization via the Settings menu

The "built-in support for mods" caught my eye. That's pretty slick, and a headache with MC.

tl;dr - it runs on just about everything, and focuses on giving the player an easy-to-mod "sandbox" to play in.

One day I hope to write a "go fuck yourself" email of this caliber.

I don't get NixOS

It's not for everyone. The idea is to have your entire system reproducible with a few configuration files, which you'd then ideally store in a VCS like git.

I haven't messed with it, but there is something appealing about the ability to reboot to an older snapshot of the system if an update breaks something, or being able to use a config file to restore your system to the exact OS version and exact versions of whatever apps you use.
