I've been sceptical of the 'Linux desktop' for a long time, but I recently started using Bazzite on my gaming PC and I'm super impressed. In just a few years since I last daily drove a Linux distro it's come such a

Americans, do you still consider yourselves the good guys?

Not sure that OpenAI's move was a very good one, they've just created a lot of enemies for themselves. I see comments all over the internet about AI slop making RAM expensive. It's going to eat into the profits of a lot of co

Fortnite is easy to run in a hypervisor and also cheaters are using hardware DMA to cheat these days anyway. The proposition that Linux enables more cheating relative to Windows is unproven.

Games using Easy AntiCheat can opt in to Linux support. Arc Raiders runs on Linux (but not in VMs) whereas Fortnite does not, because Epic has chosen not to support Linux. Ironic given Tim Sweeney's supposed anti-monopoly stance.

Without mainline Linux support I have no interest in these more obscure SBCs. Mainline Linux is the bare minimum, put in some effort please manufacturers.

Yes, but many companies will also drag their feet, refuse for "security reasons", or you'll just never be able to reach them in the first place because their only support is an AI concierge that tells you the same thing over

Two things about fronting with your own domain: 1. You have to own that domain forever, until or at least until you're 100% confident that an email intended for you will never be sent to that domain ever again. Even then, there are sec

Email services in general. My worst nightmare is my email provider (which isn't Google) going dark and losing access to everything.

Or smash and delete. If you needed to infiltrate government to cover something up you wouldn’t go straight for it. You would infiltrate many points at once and create chaos and misdirection to obfuscate what you’re really doing.

If not VSCode then Zed. It feels like Zed is what they wanted Fleet to be.

I'm interested in how the takeover happened on the inside. How do you take control of a country with minimal drama when even small corporate takeovers get so messy? I assume there's been a lot of work to root out internal dissent,

I just started DJing and something I quickly noticed is how garbage Spotify's music sounds compared to FLACs I've purchased. The max bitrate is very low.

The frontend decrypts the email content so they could just change the code at any point at siphon off the plaintext. Also, I don’t think people understand that PM is not fully encrypted. For example, email subjects are stored in plaintext a

Games now don’t even look good enough to justify the enormous computing power they require. They’re a stuttery and blurry mess, augmented by fake AI frames, LOD popping, weird screen space rendering defects, and so on. Graphics peaked 10 ye

I have tried it but wasn't a fan. I tried to convert one of our Actions workflows and that proved to be a PITA that I gave up on. It seems now the project is pivoting into AI stuff.

Docker is a company I just can’t hate on. They’ve completely transformed how software is deployed. Containers gained so much momentum it kind of outgrew them and they lost a lot of potential business. I would hardly call beginning to charge

I wonder if players like Depot could sidestep GHA by using webhooks instead of acting as a custom runner, in other words build their own compatible control plane. I guess it would probably break a lot of workflows. What I'd really like

I think Navalny was counting on the Russian people to respond strongly. Unfortunately after his death, everything carried on as normal. Western governments continue to be a soft touch and buy oil from Russia. I'm not sure he would stil

Alexei Navalny’s death, leaving behind his wife and two children, showed the harsh reality that martyrdom isn't always worth it. Sacrifice is not always rewarded. Sometimes the tyrants win. Unless you believe in karma or divine retribu

Given that I have hundreds of SoundCloud DJ sets bookmarked that contain commercially released music that’s obviously not true.

I tried creating a SoundCloud account recently for uploading DJ sets to and it just outright wouldn't let me. Didn't matter whether I was or wasn't on a VPN, or whether I had clean cookies. Crappy bot detection. You can be su

I found out when Actions started failing again for the Nth time this month. The internal conversation about moving away from Actions or possibly GitHub has been triggered. I didn't like Zig's post about leaving GitHub because it f

I've also found many Actions that do other dodgy stuff, like pulling and executing unpinned scripts from external websites, or installing unpinned binaries from GitHub releases. Pinning an Action isn't enough, you have to audit it

Interested to know if you found these issues yourself or from a source. Is Kafka any more robust?
