I've just assumed they don't care. They've done scummy shit for years, and it doesn't really matter because they'll still sell massive amounts of their first-party titles. So any bad faith they garner with a subset of their audience or old fans is just dust in the wind since it won't ultimately impact sales.

The future's looking bright for those Russian knock-off Steam Decks.

I strongly agree with both points, but it should be noted she was making almost 75k as a teacher according to the article which is definitely on the high end for Ohio teachers

was also a cheerleading coach and yearbook adviser with a salary of $74,720 at the time she resigned.

Edit:
Reading more into the article, she's been teaching for 30 years. 75K for that sort of experience is ridiculous

What an interesting year. This has to be the 4th or 5th large tech-centric company that's

  1. introduced some really shitty policy
  2. pissed off it's consumers
  3. then backtracks to some degree after backlash

Just like every other company that's done this, the backtrack is likely meant to appease the consumers before the policy gets re-introduced later. Perhaps with slightly different wording.

Not the OP, but here are some alternatives anyway.

Hell yeah. Xfire, Counter Strike Source, and Toonami made up the bulk of my childhood. I hardly hear it talked about anymore

It’s semantics, but the equivalent for a song would be plays. I think the problem with using views or plays for a metric like this is that they don’t account for people that take in the entire piece of media. It considers people that accidentally click an episode and then close it after some seconds, and people who watch an episode from start to finish, to be the same. One of those people are going to see a lot more ads than the other, thus making the company more money. Just my hypothesis tho.

Reviewing has become a nightmare of sifting through under-documented kernel code trying to decide if this new feature won't break all the other features. Getting reviews is an unpleasant process of negotiating with demands for further cleanups, trying to figure out if a review comment is based in experience or unfamiliarity, and wondering if the silence means anything.

Damn I feel that

XFS has been the default file system for RHEL since RHEL 7. A lot of places typically roll with defaults there, so it makes sense to see it still widely used.

If so how is it? I'm heavily considering grabbing an M1 and trying it out if it's in a state where I can be productive.

For context, I use an M1 for work and it's awful only thanks to macOS. The hardware is excellent though. I can run an army of containers for hours, I can have OBS running in the background if I need to quickly record something, and I can have 2-3 JetBrains IDEs running without skipping a beat.

But I truly cannot comfortably use macOS in my personal space. I don't really want to go into my gripes with macOs; suffice to say it's not a route I'm willing to explore any further.

That said, I've tried to keep up with Asahi Linux but have not seen very much feedback from those who are using it.

If you are using it I'd love to hear some feedback on what you like or dislike about it. Does all your hardware work? Do all your standard linux applications work?

Edit: I dont really know how crossposting works in the Fediverse. Sorry if this thread shows up twice

IMO, I don't see reddit ever going back to what it was even a year ago. Like many other lurkers I didn't actively post much on reddit, but I used it a ton for searches. Reddit was (and still is to a much lesser extent) a great place to find support or posts that might address an obscure problem you have with tech in general. Trying that today gives me mixed results at best. Subs are private or the replies that were helpful are now deleted. A lot of the search results that you might've found before don't actually show up because the user deleted their account and/or posts. Its far less useful for this purpose than it was even a few months ago and I think we'll see traffic start to reflect that pretty soon.

It feels weird to want history to repeat itself, but I'm really hoping Reddit has to deal with the ironic situation of users migrating from the platform en masse due to awful management decisions.
