> Steam Machine's SSD (NVMe 2230 or 2280) and memory (DDR5 SODIMMs) are both accessible and upgradeable. So, you're saying you can still ship on time without including these things and we just add them ourselves? Cool.

PC enthusiasists won't soon forget this when voting with their wallets. Shame that Micron went away. Where else is there to turn? Meanwhile, I have a box of hand-me-down spinning rust to fall back on. Sigh.

Your oven doesn't work on Sundays? That ranks high among the stupidest things I've ever heard. So, how do you get around that? Constantly messing with the clock?

Ah, we will get more done. Or maybe just see you on the mailing list and IRC?!

As an end user hand assembling desktop services on non-Systemd distros (Artix, Devuan, Gentoo, Guix) over the years, and thus had no concern about APIs, Pipewire just works and PulseAudio gave endless trouble. My 0.02 bits.

I don't watch anime or really follow anything specifically Japanese, but I read Shogun as a teenager and then decades later (lately) I read about the Mishima Incident which attempted to restore the Emperor to power in 1970. Quite frank

I grew up playing all the Mario games and wrote a dissertation on an Internet forum, so now I have a PhD in both Japanese and Italian culture!

It's a little inconvenient but for example my Framework laptop Intel WiFi chip requires a binary blob and I want aware of this. Now that I am, I can make better hardware purchasing decisions. There are plenty of alternatives that don&#

I hope they don't wake up because they deserve to lose a lot of business after decades of abusing their monopolistic position to push software that prioritizes their own interests and not that of their customers.

How would you even know that your opt-out request isn't silently ignored? Or your re-encrypted drive's key got backed up to the cloud because an update silently inverted a flag?

It's great to have new images to start from. Definitely gives a new leg up for new installs. For installations you already have, release numbers don't really mean a lot. I want to mention a few resources for anyone diving into Gui

It really is poor taste. Parents like me might want to spend time 3D printing with children without having to tip toe around an explanation for this username. I never really heard this word until I was 18 (in the military) and it's occ

Don't you think the 2 to 4% is built into the prices of every merchant that accepts credit cards, big or small? It's not a great system but it's what we have so using debit instead of credit does mean losing out.

Not the parent but a project (glorified Bash script) called vcsh[1] has served me well over the years for managing multiple Git repositories containing my dotfiles (separation of concerns). Lately I have migrated some of that to Guix Home b

I have always been very interested in seeing repository metadata (issues, etc) kept in the code repository itself. Not technically easy, I know. I wonder if there are any current efforts that manage to make this work?
