I use Nobara on my gaming PC just because it has some gaming tweaks by default but is otherwise just stock Fedora so any issues can be searched as if I was on Fedora.

Speedtest.net isn't rigged, I can exceed the speed I get on it with steam.

Reminds me of the monty python sketch, "what have the romans ever done for us? except sanitation and roads and canals and public health" lol.

Steam gives devs a huge marketing presence that smaller devs simply wouldn't have otherwise, it gives countless high bandwidth distribution servers that automatically scale to demand, you can integrate the largest PC social community for matchmaking or other multiplayer features, you get a community page where people can post fan content or mods, etc.

That is worth way more than 30% to most devs. The only ones who it's not worth it for are huge companies like Blizzard and Epic who can manage all that themselves, hence why they're pretty much the only ones who don't sell games on Steam.

Bitcoin is terrible for that though. High transaction fees, slow transaction speeds, everyone can see your balances and transactions (and with KYC requirements it's very easy to link a wallet and a coin to a person).

Monero is the only digital currency worth having.

I use it both daily and for long trips. I use it daily because as I've said when I don't use it, I get stuck in a queue on the motorway that was easily avoided with traffic info. And also for long trips because again, there are multiple routes and there could be hours difference between them depending on traffic. I frequently travel from North England to London and depending on the day I'll use a route either on the western side or eastern side of the country based on the traffic.

What a bizarre comment. Of course I need traffic data in a navigation app. Why would I want to sit in an hour queue on a closed motorway due to an incident when I could be using the alternative route that's still moving?

Depends, every tech company I've worked at has had Windows machines for project managers, account managers etc, and Mac for developers and designers. So it is possible to support two OSs as standard. I've always just picked the Mac but when my next laptop is due I may ask if anyone uses Linux

Ah, my girlfriend's approach. No matter how much I show her a pwned password or set her up on my Vaultwarden, she's not interested

Then they enforce the chipmakers to put backdoors in the chips themselves

Works fine on an 11th Gen i5. Not fast but not slow

Crazy. There are already millions of Bitcoin wallet apps for small amounts and quick transfers. And anyone smart is storing significant amounts on hardware wallets.

Release the Linux Drive app please

As a web dev we do try to accommodate userCSS for accessibility reasons but often font sizes are tuned to what they are for a reason. I'd guess there's a line height issue here.
