The Document Foundation doesn’t actually employ developers. They just oversee and manage the development and direction of LibreOffice.

Can someone explain just what exactly he did?

I tend to avoid social media drama like the plague.

I’ve spent about $125 on this game, and I would definitely get pissed if I bought in for all the promises they made.

However, I bought just to have a really pretty “Fly around in space while exploring my spaceship and listening to music” experience. It’s a vibe game. If they took out all the combat and lofty goals and just focused on making a really dope spaceship sim (with all the ship management, repairs, etc that they’ve promised) I would probably lose my life to it.

Problem is that if you have a critical application (like banking) that relies on Google services you’re SOL.

It’s Apple or Google at that point.

Apple has been seriously underperforming on their AI strategy.

Really makes it easy to keep using their devices.

• Davinci? Yup
• Adobe? Not even remotely.
• Unreal…yes? I’m pretty sure th development tools still run on Linux at least.
• Crossplatform work? As long as it’s in the same format from the same application, you should be fine. Just format the drive in something Windows can understand.
• Steam? Works flawlessly as do most games now. You will need to change one option in settings, because Steam will by default only show games that are verified by valve to work (most games do though). Your biggest hurdle will be the developers that specifically block Linux.
• Non-Steam games? You’ll need to do some work, but you can get them running just as well as steam games
• Xbox App/Xbox GamePass? Nope.

I do try.

Every single former co-worker has ghosted me at this point and even my friends have basically taken a “Hahaha, for sure mate, for sure, hey have you guys ever changed the conversation?” attitude when I bring up connecting me with people.

People suck lol.

Cool. I mean I haven’t been able to get past a single 10-minute “I just want to go over the job with you and collect some basic information” phone interview in 6-months.

But ya know. Another 6,000 people on the market is cool too.

I hope they take a shot at written content again. It’s less a gaming website and more of a podcast network at this point.

I actually restarted halfway through because I leveled up so much that every enemy (even animals) were miserable to fight.

I realized you only leveled up when you slept so I just never slept. Game was way easier.

If you want SteamOS there are plenty of options that are effectively the exact same thing but with a different name.

It’s about reducing variable costs.

You build phones, watches, tvs, washers, dryers, fridges? Why use separate hardware and software? That’s just expensive. Just build a common platform that can be easily modified for everything and take advantage of production scale to reduce costs everywhere.

Slap in all those smart phone features too because why the fuck not. It’s cheap, someone might be convinced to buy it because of it, and few people will avoid it because you can use your phone. Bonus points! We can collect use information.

Everyone wins! Except the customer. Because fuck them.

As long as you’re cool being a bit more restricted in multiplayer games (a lot work great! But some developers are blocking linux), and you’re okay with AMD (nvidia is improving though), gaming is basically on par with Windows at this point.

In some cases it’s even better. I have a few games that require weird tricks to get it to work under Windows, but work fine in proton. Even Elden Ring at launch ran better on linux because it didn’t have the micro-stutter issue.

I say “easily” because it wouldn’t require a major effort on the scale of coreutils. It could just be a series of fancy automation scripts. It’ll take effort, but not the most intense of exercises.

I made a handful of them at an old job because we had a few specific tasks that we would regularly do, but not enough to commit it to memory. I just spent an afternoon here and there slapping together python scripts with just the options we would need and tossed it into /bin

Oh Rust is great, and it’s on my learning to do list…but its evangelists are annoying as shit.

The great thing about the core philosophy of unix is that you could easily do what you suggest and maintain compatibility with applications that rely on the traditional coreutils (Which is the major reason why no one will really suggest changing the traditional syntax. It’ll break way too much.).

Just build a series of applications that actively translates your “less ambiguous” commands into traditional syntax. I’ve done it for a number of things where the syntax is long and hard to remember.

In fact I think a “nuutilus” would actually be fairly well received for distributions that are more new user focused and a pretty worthwhile endeavor.

It’s definitely more intuitive but It would drive me insane having to type that all out.

But dude, bro, we could put the entire system on the blockchain man, and make it super efficient with an AI backend that will remove all errors bro.

Dude it’s not even written in Rust bro. WTF is this dinosaur shit?
