I’m a game dev, so I’ll have to at least keep around either a Windows VM or a dual boot system, since Windows is still very popular.
Yay, a “good” guy with a company will stop a bad guy with a company!
All hail Jack!
I was so heartbroken once I saw the Mastodon handle of Jack Saint (leftist youtuber), only to the last post of his being “I’m moving to BlueSky”. I’m also asked WhiteLeaf (worker coop behind leftist streamers’s stuff) if they thought on starting their own Mastodon or other instance.

They’re a terrible idea.

You’re making Linux look cringe!
Even the plagiarism machine gets plagiarized nowadays…
Yeah, there’s a good chance he’s either a naïve moron that thinks Meta has good intentions, or a techbro that soyfaces at any proprietary technology that has incorporated a trendy technology.
Elon be like: “What if I got OpenAI’s chatbot and disguised it as mine?”
I’m on the main kbin instance, and I’ve requested ownership of quite a lot of magazines.
I don’t really use any other save for following a bunch of Misskey accounts with my Mastodon. However, I was thinking on creating a federated game launcher/gaming-focused social network similar to Steam. Some parts of it would use ActivityPub (especially public stuff like achievements), others XMPP or something similar. Issues are the question of a copy protection system, and an anti-cheat system. Banning pirated copies of the game from official networks is probably easy even with open source tools, and likely not so controversial. Anything more than that would require more complicated setups, such as a lot of proprietary stuff, not to mention are very controversial, especially with gamers. Anti-cheat systems are also a though issue, likely being the responsibility of the developer, and also there’ a lot of controversy with them with kernel-level anti-cheat systems.
The “superintelligence” in question: the same old tech, but with a larger context window, which will make it hallucinate a bit less often.
Also GPU drivers.
If you’re mad at NVidia for their closed-source drivers, then remember that ARM seldom makes their Linux drivers available for free, so you have to either have to deal with absolutely no GPU driver while the CPU does the graphics rendering (might not be a big deal on a NAS though), or with open source drivers that are less capable than the Nouveau drivers and even fiddlier to install. The ARM Mali driver issue is so bad I was legit thinking on a solution to run the Android binary blobs (which at least are available by ripping them off from the Android kernel) on regular Linux, a lot of function call redirects would likely take care of that issue.
MacOS is way more often worse than Windows than how Linux does it.
Linux sometimes have important settings hidden in config files that are different in every distro. Sometimes an API is legit worse in Linux, than in Windows.
MacOS has a lot of things that cannot be set at all, constantly deprecated APIs, not to mention it’s locked into overpriced hardware. CoreAudio was only better than the Windows native offerings until XAudio came, and Pipewire for Linux seems promising from at least a developer standpoint.

I’m from the generation that used to have sound cards, and I’m very sad about what Creative did to the industry…
Edge isn’t as bad nowadays, and it’s not much more of a spyware than Google Chrome, the meme browser.
Ow lad he’s coming
