Nintendo has no excuse not to include one.

They do have an excuse.

I thought CSS was for things like layout and fonts. How would genuine programming features factor in? Is this about replacing JavaScript?

I didn’t read their comment as advocacy but hopelessness.

My LibreOffice is still called LibreOffice.

Remember, they are no longer a charity organization, but a publicly traded for-profit business that is “mostly owned” by a charity. If you wondered why they were overpriced and enshittifying, that is why.

I love Pi, but the price of the 5 is unreasonable. Since RPF spun hardware into publicly traded a for-profit business, I expect it will only continue to get worse.

Steam Deck is the answer for now. You may still be able to get one of the discontinued LCD models on the cheap, but GamePass is now as expensive as buying a game every month, so it’s better to buy than subscribe. They also make excellent PCs and homelab devices. We bought several LCD versions for the lab instead of Pi 5s, because they are such a good deal.

Yes, it is imperialism. Also, China has an authoritarian state controlled by a privileged ruling class and is therefore far-right.

The poor user experience is intentional. Compare FireTV to AppleTV. Everything about FireTV is carefully designed to coerce you into spending money. Easy access to the content you already have doesn’t make money, so the UX serves Amazon, not you. Apple does it, too, but with a more subtlety.

Star Citizen works well on Linux via a community-maintained tool called LUG. Getting other fancy peripherals like head tracking requires some creative use of a Windows VM, because those peripheral makers don’t support Linux. If Squadron 42 ever actually materializes, then the community will have it covered.

I backed it a lifetime ago and have gone back and forth between “it’s a scam” and “maybe it could happen” so many times that I just don’t care any more. As broken as it is and as slow as progress has been, there has never been anything like it. I check in a couple of times every year and usually have fun seeing the sights for a week or two. I think I’ve had enough enjoyment from it to justify my original cost.

Even though their goals are unreasonable, irrational, and completely mad, they have somehow managed to fund stable development for over a decade and have actually made meaningful progress. Will I live to see it realized? Who knows. I wish them luck for both their sakes and the people who spent big money on this ridiculous dream, but unlike many others, I have no hard feelings personally. I’d like to see it realized someday, but I have no more money to give them even if I wanted to.

Lots of conservatives there?

KDE is the secret to winning over Windows users. Plasma 6 is everything most people want Windows to be. It’s also why I am very unpopular with Mint acolytes — I am always trying to steer new users away from Cinnamon, which means away from Mint.

This problem affects all technology, not just PCs. Phones, consoles, tablets, anything that uses DRAM at all. All consumer hardware is at risk.

Mostly. Official releases are licensed MIT only as compiled software. Derivatives are explicitly required to be AGPL 3.0 but they muddy that with trademark terms that give them a lot of ways to excuse crushing genuinely AGPL 3.0 forks. It’s a minefield and it’s designed that way on purpose. In reality, it’s more “source available” than “open source.”

I played the game very shortly after release and I read all the newspapers. There was a lot of storytelling going on in them and they definitely weren’t this. Was some prerelease build or placeholder texture? Because if so, this controversy is pedantic, puritanical, witch-hunting garbage, and I say that as someone who is violently anti-AI.

WinBoat is amazing, but it doesn’t have GPU passthrough yet. That one feature is the holy grail for Windows virtualization on Linux. I hope the WinBoat team can solve it.

You can be happily off Windows in less than an hour.

Dual booting with Windows and Linux on the same physical drive is risky as Windows has a reputation for breaking bootloaders. If you want to try things out safely, use Ventoy. It will also let you easily test drive multiple live images, if you want.

Give Fedora KDE a try. I wouldn’t recommend Ubuntu to anyone.

You don’t need luck. You chose wisely.
