What I find hilarious is all these companies doing this shit after all the advancements in programming languages and paradigms in the last few years.

Thanks to tools like Node.js, React, Flask, Reflex, OpenAPI Gen, GoLang, and more, people that are fed-up and have the know-how can stand up competing technology in record time.

I look forward to see what comes out of this corporate power grab. Hopefully there's not a lot of pain and suffering alkng the way.

Somebody was so triggered by the graphic being off center they just had to break that window.

If you want to see a good modern take on an RTS, check out Mechabellum.

Just an HMD. He's largely a sim pit VR user.

Samsung Odyssey w/ GTX 2060.

He's using Monando built with Envision without the steamvr-monado Plugin because "it slows everything down".

I have a friend that regularly games in VR in Linux. Admittedly, he's always faffing around with it to make it work. But he's also a bit of a chaotic person that runs Arch, so that could just be him and not a failing of the current level of support.

Time & effort. Everything that you do means something else doesn't get done. Whether that be gaming with friends or an item off your project/chore list.

We know that gaming centric distros are great for getting up & running, but it's still a time sink, and will require effort. Not everybody has a backup drive with their games and will have to re-download everything too. There's also a risk their favorite game isn't compatible with Linux

Windows 10 also works just fine. I still have it on 2 of my 4 computers (2/5 if you count my Deck), and haven't switched those over yet because I'm being lazy on one and the other is a perfect candidate for the SteamOS UX experience since it's a HTPC. However, I have done some looking around at other HTPC experiences and just haven't pulled the trigger. Which will be awesome, since Windows did away with their HTPC UX years ago.

I haven't run across a game that hasn't run on The Deck yet. I know it's capable of running quite a lot, but I got it to play indie games. It's been great and does what I want it to do phenomenally. Additionallh if I ever wanted to do something more demanding on it, I could.

But they don't. They just formm small communities and slowly work their way back up to power.

Might take 50+ years, but it'll happen again and again until crushed out.

I was at a shitty crustpunk bar once getting an after-work beer. One of those shitholes where the bartenders clearly hate you. So the bartender and I were ignoring one another when someone sits next to me and he immediately says, "no. get out."

And the dude next to me says, "hey i'm not doing anything, i'm a paying customer." and the bartender reaches under the counter for a bat or something and says, "out. now." and the dude leaves, kind of yelling. And he was dressed in a punk uniform, I noticed

Anyway, I asked what that was about and the bartender was like, "you didn't see his vest but it was all nazi shit. Iron crosses and stuff. You get to recognize them."

And i was like, ohok and he continues.

"you have to nip it in the bud immediately. These guys come in and it's always a nice, polite one. And you serve them because you don't want to cause a scene. And then they become a regular and after awhile they bring a friend. And that dude is cool too.

And then THEY bring friends and the friends bring friends and they stop being cool and then you realize, oh shit, this is a Nazi bar now. And it's too late because they're entrenched and if you try to kick them out, they cause a PROBLEM. So you have to shut them down.

And i was like, 'oh damn.' and he said "yeah, you have to ignore their reasonable arguments because their end goal is to be terrible, awful people."

And then he went back to ignoring me. But I haven't forgotten that at all.

I'm glad my employer said, "you've been working hard. I comped you a day so you can rest and recover.", the last time I wasnt feeling well (allergies got the best of me and I was a mess). Even though I've accrued nearly 2-weeks of sick time at this point.

I'm fortunate that I don't work for a shitty company anymore.

Sealion infestations are problematic. Be sure to call your local exterminator promptly whenever you encounter one.

There's a ton of work in green energy and water management.

When Harris wins, there will be even more federal funding being dumped into these sectors. However a ton of that work is either going to be labor intensive or require a specific education (or both).

Also, the software engineering field isn't going to be replaced by AI any time soon (if ever). What will happen is that AI will become a tool of skilled engineers to increase their output efficiency, consistency, and quality.
