Usually being "lazy" is also the result of some kind of untreated medical issue or disorder like ADHD, autism, sleep apnea, etc. or any combination of those. Almost no healthy person would make the choice to sit around doing nothing for years at a time. Treating it like it's some kind of lack of will or moral failing only makes it worse.

You are forgetting that you have to pay to play online. Your $500 console is an $800 console if you use it for 5 years. You can build a roughly PS5 equivalent PC (RX 6700) for more like $650-700 which is less overall.

Plus it's a computer so you can also use it for normal computer things, and the games themselves are generally much cheaper with a huge backlog and sales all the time.

Seriously, fuck HDMI. I just recently learned they've blocked AMD's open source driver from being able to implement HDMI 2.1 meaning AMD GPUs are currently limited to 4K@60Hz over HDMI on Linux.

I have been using the same Arch installation for about 8 years. The initial installation/configuration is the only time consuming part. Actual day-to-day usage is extremely easy.

Maybe this is no longer the case but I previously used Ubuntu and it was actually much more annoying in comparison, especially when upgrading between major revisions or needing to track down sources/PPAs for packages not in the main repos. Or just when you want something more up-to-date than what they're currently shipping.

The rolling release model + the AUR saves so much time and prevents a lot of headaches.

As someone who enjoyed Google Inbox before they killed it, it hurts to read this comment.

Yellow bubbles for all RCS messages.

This tracks with my experience using Unity in the past. They like to add a bunch of half-baked new features while simultaneously deprecating old ones that worked fine. Which means you have to choose between using a "worse" feature you know will no longer be supported or using a "better" feature that's not fully finished yet. When your release window is 2+ years out it is really hard to make that decision.

And they do it directly in their stable builds and label individual features as "beta" rather than keeping them in a separate beta branch which is remarkably stupid. It makes them seem like the features are ready for production when they're clearly not.

I'm not actually sure it's particularly effective at stopping bots, considering how easy it is to spin up a docker container that can bypass it. Ironically FlareSolverr wasn't able to solve CAPTCHA so now with them gone it works even better.

I love Inter. I use it on both my desktop and my phone. Not only is it super readable and looks really nice but it's actually open source which is relatively rare in the typeface world.

This is the year of the Jellyfin desktop

To be fair it's the exact same bypass as any other Steam game. Any steam emulator would work.
