They develop software on Marshall Full-Stack amplifiers, rather than the smaller, less powerful Half-Stacks.

Hope that helps clear things up.

If I offended anyone, I apologize. But man… People like you make this shit look bad (I know this is old, I just saw it).

I respect people’s choices with respect to gender expression. What I don’t respect is people who use that shit as a cudgel to censor opinions they don’t like that are entirely unrelated to that subject.

That person had NO pronouns listed next to their name. I frankly don’t clock people’s usernames before commenting so had no idea what their username even was. That said, one could argue that the name Emily implies nothing about a person’s preferred pronouns. Unless you know them personally, or they complained personally about this, then YOU are the one assuming gender and pronouns. Fuck dude, why am I even assuming that the person’s username is their real name? Oh no, I just said “dude” are you going to ban me?

Two people who have never seen/heard/spoken to one another discussing something on the internet, and one is supposed to, what, intuit the other’s preferred pronouns? What if Emily did not identify as a woman, and you just corrected me? It’s almost as if “cool man” isn’t gender specific anymore, and you know that.

Wish this woman could be our president.

it took an infernally long time to open the store, search for an app, and then install that app.

After about a year of Linux and using package managers/AUR to install and update software, it blows my mind to think that I would ever choose to do it a different way.

I don’t know how I put up with that shit for so many years.

Goddamn can this man be any more GOATed?

Nobody is going to SIM swap you unless you have a shitload of crypto and let everyone know about it. It’s not an easy attack, so it would have to be targeted. Pretty easy to not be a target (not having millions of dollars of crypto on a wallet helps).

Dude, same. I cannot understand it (for games. I’m sure people have valid reasons if they’re using the Deck for some other purpose). It seems there is a cohort of otherwise relatively tech savvy people who are just terrified of all things “Linux.”

Maybe they heard horror stories from friends or family while growing up and aren’t aware of just how close to complete compatibility Proton is. In fact, in some cases, it can somehow run games better than if one were to dual boot and install in Windows.

Even Valve’s own Steam Deck verification should be taken with a grain of salt, it seems as though they’re being extra conservative with those. I’ve gotten several "unsupported " games working (very easily), for example , Dark Souls: Prepare to Die edition is listed on Steam as “unsupported,” but it works great (with DSFix even) on my Deck.

ProtonDB is a far better resource for anyone reading this who hadn’t heard of it.

But yeah, it’s almost like this subconscious aversion to Linux. And they want to be in their comfort zone I guess.

Does it mean Nvidia support on par with that for AMD?

I’m probably not the right person to answer this, but my immediate thought was no. I believe AMD allows for open source drivers on Linux, which this specifically states Nvidia won’t be doing.

Looks like what “the future” looked like in the 80s and early 90s. Like Total Recall or BttF Pt. 2

I’ll defer to you on this as I’m by no means an expert. I suppose I thought there was more demand for young people who have that specific skillset than there actually is.

Again, it depends. Some of the most notorious hackers of all time literally had their prison sentences commuted so that they can work for the NSA (or US Gov’t in some capacity).

but cybercrime is a big no-no when it comes to actual employment.

Depends on what field you’re in. There are entire sectors of tech that seek out skilled hackers for things like pen testing.

Lol what a loser. Trying so hard to sound badass.

No we don’t, we have 400+ years of capitalist history to tell us what comes next; Oligarchy, neo-feudalism…

People: Cory Doctorow didn’t invent this concept. Read a book.

It will end up being like FreeVee on Prime for anyone who’s ever watched a movie or anything on there. They straight up randomly just inject ads in at random times, often not even during scene breaks. Characters are sometimes mid-sentence… Oh, and we’re back to the volume of the ads being 2x louder than the movie itself because I guess that law Congress passed way back in the day only applied to cable and broadcast TV.

It makes it nearly unwatchable. So get ready for that experience.

Man, the way that headline begins, I thought he had died.

On a macabre, but related, note: how long after Gabe’s death before Steam goes public and turns to shit? I’d give it 6 months.

Does the bird one actually work? Nature can get pretty loud, I could see that being an issue.
