Looking into the metadata of the included PDF version reveals that it's from 2004, so even a bit older than that.

Just to give a bit of context: This comes after two months of outright refusal to do even the bare minimum, like transferring the Steam Store listings for games where the devs had full ownership of the IP.

So yeah, it's nice to see that this will seemingly be resolved somewhat nicely, but that's about it.

I really hope so. I just can't comprehend how they thought that shutting down this studio in particular was a good idea, when Hi-Fi Rush has kind of been used as the poster child for GamePass for a while now. That alone should've been a good reason to keep the studio alive, even if it was operating at a loss.

[...] I didn't bother to activate 2fa on my github account. I ended up writing a simple fetch for fun, ...

I'm not judging, but reading those two lines back to back is pretty funny.

Also good to know what causes those seams. I've noticed it in some consoles, but never bothered to check why exactly that is.

Don't worry. There's still plenty of ESP32 waiting to be flashed with ESPHome and placed into their own little enclosure out there.

Different person, but I started using vertical tabs a few weeks ago and gave both extensions a try for a few days.

I'm using Sideberry now. It seems more polished to me with lots more features. I particularly like how well it integrates with Firefox containers and that you can create tab groups, which are essentially tabs for tabs.

If you want to skip ahead, there are also a few ways to get Home Assistant running that don't need any level of Linux competency:

  • They sell their own devices that are more or less plug & play.
  • Installing Home Assistant OS on a Raspberry Pi is just flashing the image onto an SD card.
  • Installing Home Assistant OS onto a dedicated device involves shortly booting into Linux from USB to flash Home Assistant OS onto the internal disk.

If you don't want to run Home Assistant OS, and instead want to run Home Assistant as one of several applications running on a Server, that's when you need to start getting comfortable administrating a Linux server.

Only sort of related, but it's kind of insane how many different phones Samsung releases. Checking GSMArena, they've apparently released an average of two phones per month over the last year.

Seems a bit overkill to me.

Even the PC manufacturers selling "gaming" PCs using integrated graphics aren't usually this brazen about it.

Not completely though. A while ago I've had a wave of these comments on a 3 year old post of mine. They got deleted after I've reported them at least, though I don't know if that action was done by a mod of the subreddit or site-wide admin.

Same. Not being able to move the taskbar, alongside all the other downgrades to it and the start menu is what got me to check out Linux as a desktop OS for real, and not just out of curiosity. So far, I don't see going back.

And I was even one of the few dozen people who loved Win8. At least there the points that got criticized were due to sweeping and bold changes. Win11 on the other hand feels like the same as 10 but with arbitrary features removed in the core part of the OS.

Not to mention that most sites will put their main content into a container with a limited width anyway, since overly long lines are awful to read. So unless you're using the browser side-by-side with other content on a low-res monitor it's a net benefit. And even if it's not I usually find the extra vertical space to be worth more, as you said.
