I mean, the question was rhetorical. But I don’t disagree.

Like seriously – are people using their brains or what?

It’s stupid as hell to share any personal information with a company that is interested in spying on you and feeding your data to the nearest advertiser they can find.

Like seriously – are people using their brains or what?

Yes,

but game companies also want to spy on you and potentially sell your data. Even if they aren’t selling it, the ability to do so increases the value to investors. This is the way tech companies talk about invasive software in general, FWIW.

It’s like grub hub but for cats.

(Watch out birds!)

Hey,

No much to add to this myself but it’s awesome and you should keep up the good work!

If you have the lid closed, you’re looking at 3 to 15 watts to have a laptop running in the background doing some basic server shit.

Not all laptops make effective use of power with the lid closed, sadly. Not saying this as a correction, but for others to know that they need to make sure these settings are available in the bios of the system they are buying.

The term “unalive” is so cringey yet dystopian that I don’t know whether to feel embarrassed or concerned when I hear it.

What will happen is that politicians will see this as another reason to push for everyone having their ID associated with their Internet traffic.

You’re right. Which is exactly why companies should be exhibiting better behaviour and self regulate before they make the internet infinitely worse off for everyone.

The windows kernel isn’t all that great, particularly in the realm of memory security or scheduling.

You know, to each their own. Question is really whether windows maintaining a closed source kernel even makes sense from a maintenance burden perspective when it really doesn’t give them much money in return. (Most of their money in 2025 comes from cloud services, not operating systems)

Yes, but also their cars are ugly and they were riding high on musk’s cult of personality in the first place.

Rivians are better anyway.

Probably. In all honestly, if you are a hexbear user, I’d be keeping a careful eye on who owns the domain when it magically pops back up.

This is nearly the plot to Ghost in the Shell 2 Innocence. Nearly the keyword, they might get there eventually.

The best path forward is that developers make their linux drivers before they release their hardware to the market. You know, like what they do for windows.

There’s no silver bullet here. You have to wait for someone to reverse engineer the drivers if the developers of the hardware don’t care enough to supply even basic linux driver support. Either that or linux becomes so popular that it becomes senseless to ignore it (let’s be real though, MacOS is popular enough for this to be true and yet there’s still new hardware made that ignores that platform too.)

I don’t actually see the fediverse as being any more extreme than any other corner of the internet.

I mean, my issue is that most buttons on my huion are still non bindable, and some graphical interfaces cannot be interacted with in mouse mode and only register as touch. Lastly, occasionally programs completely ignore pen sensitivity, such as blender.

This experience was when I was last on gnome. I’ve been on budgie for a while as a result of needing a tablet for my hobbies.

The lack of proper tablet support in wayland prevents me from being excited for this. I wish there was more news on that front.

So you’re telling me that I should just add the word trans to my code a shit ton to opt my code out of AI training?

Corporate internet doesn’t even filter out “uncomfortable” shit for people. They have a vested interest in keeping people engaged whether it’s through love or hate.

This is a misconception I see all the time. Reddit et al try their hardest to make browsing feel like a roller coaster to keep up engagement.

Do you work at Boeing?

Because that would certainly explain some things.
