I am at a point where I just installed Bazzite on a mini-itx PC and bought a gyroscope mouse (also called a flymouse) and use steam big picture mode. Access to a proper browser (with adblock) and a proper keyboard more than makes up for the

The orgs are not ruthless like that, anything less than a certain % of the org revenue is not worth bothering unless it creates _more_ work to the person responsible for it than fixing it does. Add some % if person who gets more work from t

I know google fiber kinda flumped, but if they are already doing their own power generation for data centers they might decide to sell that power to the public too. What is really scary is that I foresee a day where these big tech companies

People who work on really obscure things love to talk about their work, heck if someone would listen to me I could talk for hours about what I do. Unfortunately very few people care about the minutia of making a behemoth system work.
