Very disappointing. They delayed the game for a few weeks and then for 5 months. How did anyone think the November date could be achieved?

Guess I’ll look for a community updated database for this year.

I stopped using LinkedIn because it totally turned into Facebook. Everyone is just posting memes, motivation quotes or soccer.

The only one pretending mistakes can’t happen is the person I replied to. Mistakes definitely can happen and no programming language is fool proof.

Continuing my car analogy, would you rather drive a car with airbags and seatbelts or one without them? Of course you can still have a fatal accident, but it’s nice to have safety features that make it as unlikely as possible.

Every car has airbags if you drive well enough. Right?

Nah, your ISP doesn’t give you enough bandwidth to host your own mini YouTube. You vastly underestimate the bandwidth required to run the service. It’s massive, which is why PeerTube is having a hard time gaining traction.

Serious question: how can YouTube pay the bills with zero ads? I’m not talking about making a profit, just breaking even.

Except content creators want to create content, not maintain an instance.

Switching to more private and less data hungry services is a tough process. How private do you want to be? If you take it too far, you won’t have a cell phone or a bank account.

Carefully consider the changes you are willing make right now. Start small, progress slowly. Don’t get discouraged and remember that total privacy doesn’t exist.

Start by swapping search engine, don’t use Google or Bing. That’s an easy goal that already makes a big difference. Use something like Duck duck go, Startpage or something like that.

Eventually move away from gmail. Get your own domain, create your own email address. Slowly migrate your important accounts to the new email. This can take time but it’s not hard and you just removed the 2 largest sources of data from Google.

Stop using Chrome, try Firefox. Personally recommend LibreWolf, a Firefox fork. At the very least move to Brave browser (but make sure you disable the crypto crap). Most extensions exist in both browsers this should easy.

Eventually consider moving to Linux but don’t rush it. Study what apps you need, what alternatives are there in Linux. Expect a way worse user experience but a way way better ownership. Try in a VM or live environment before you even consider installing it for real.

Well if I only have time to play a game a month, I’m not gonna play a 6/10 game. I’m not saying to blindly trust metacritic but when you seldom play games you need to filter them aggressively somehow.

Even if the AI was at the point if outputing exactly what you want correcly, decision makers would still need to be able to specify exactly what they want and need. “I want a website that pops” isn’t going to cut it.

Android ROMs community took Google’s work? Are you forgetting which community developed Kernel does Android use? Let’s not think about the custom ROMs community as free loaders, please. They provide a free and amazing service.

You don’t own steam games tho.

Not the person you asked to but my gaming experience has been stellar. If you use Steam you don’t have to do anything, it all works out of the box. If you don’t play those multiplayer games with kernel level anti cheats you’ll be fine.

I was expecting a bad time and was extremely impressed. Gaming in Linux is amazing.

I don’t know too much about IoT but I wouldn’t say linux runs the world in any of the other markets you mentioned.

I would say while technically Android uses a modified linux kernel, you can’t put it under the same umbrella.

Either way I don’t want to get too much into these technicalities. I was simply trying to say that Linux is king on servers, not really on the market where all this crazyness happened.

Just to clarify: the world runs in linux servers. The market share for the non-server market is abysmal.

Firefox sync is disabled by default but you can enable it in the settings.

You can enable Firefox sync in Librewolf, it works fine.

Isn’t proton photos built into their Proton Drive already? It’s implementation is… barebones… On Android but it works.

The main problem is the amount of REALLY bad games. It’s very hard to find decent games, most of them are intentionally unplayable garbage.

I fear becoming that guy, can you call me out if I do? Cheers.
