Game developers have stated that the support requests they get for Linux outweighs the revenue they get from supporting it. There are so many distros with different packages/dependencies, drivers, package managers etc. that it's v

I wonder if that's to prevent kids from eating the paper. Similar to Nintendo's cartridges having a bad flavor.

It's the wealth gap, stagnate wages, housing shortage, collapse of family unit building. Why bother dealing with the stress of work when it doesn't pay enough to live? Burned out on consumerism, no family to support and provide fo

The guy from the shop who installed my new tires said his Ford Ranger tires wore out in about 6k miles. My Tacoma's tires lasted almost 50k. Sometimes car manufacturers cheap out on factory tires

It has really made me pessimistic about tech and products in general. There's the free and great stage, then the market is captured, then enshittification, then death. I don't get excited about new products or new tech because I k
