Ah yes, I forgot folks with ADHD are also insane. /s

For folks with ADHD, like myself, slow talking video essays are a special kind of hell.

The problem with days old threads is I never remember the context. Looks like they were asking if Steams data would be more reliable. Tbh, I think Steam is great for gaming stats, not for general use stats. Statcounter supposedly uses what the browser reports when participating websites are visited.

I’m happy to see more Linux gamers don’t get me wrong. Steam is specifically gathering specs on people who game, the other stat counter (that reports 4% Linux use) is based on what people’s browsers are reporting.

Steam is only installed on one of my computers, I have at least four running Linux. Not to mention plenty of Linux users don’t game at all, so probably not.

From the archlinux.org news post on the issue.

Arch does not directly link openssh to liblzma, and thus this attack vector is not possible.

I think it’s less the network’s fault, and more on where someone chooses to spend their time on the network. If you’re on Facebook, it is in their interest to piss you off so you stay and fight. But plenty of other tools exist to connect folks online without being manipulative.

It’s like fire, nuclear energy, or most any other tool. Use it right and everyone benefits, use it wrong and people get hurt.

When I was younger I wasn’t sad because I was online, I was online because I was sad and felt out of place in reality.

The cough isn’t the cause of the cold, it’s a symptom.

Also, I gained more empathy the older I got. So you probably need a bigger data set than your own experiences.

This appears to be more geared towards experimentation. Super interesting and more relevant to the article for sure though!

In 1973 the U.S. Supreme Court rejected the Hippocratic Oath saying it didn’t cover the latest developments in medical practice.

I’m just… gonna go scream into a pillow in the corner now.

YO LISTEN UP HERE’S A STORY

Never even heard of The Register before right now. Been using Firefox for most of my life. This checks out.

They are tired of right clicking Command Prompt to “Run as Administrator”. They’ve been doing it for decades, they can have one tiny piece of QoL improvement.

I’ve always read it as a mix of “Federated Reddit” and “Fed up with Reddit”.

“Jobs” might be the worst metric to look at overall. How many of those jobs are part-time? How many of those jobs include health insurance? How many of those jobs pay a living wage? How many people have to have two or more of those jobs out of necessity?

Hell, how many of those “jobs” are listings that companies never intend to fill? I’ve seen countless listings for high qualification jobs offering poverty wages with no benefits.

SSL cert expiring stopped access to updates. That’s not just bad press, that’s poor form overall, especially for an Arch-based distro. Even worse, this happened while certbot exists, so there’s no excuse. It tells me they are less reliable as a distro, especially to have let it happen twice.

Ah, they were being pulled from RPM fusion at one point if I recall. It didn’t go through, but the fact that it was even being discussed told me all I needed to know.

I had to bail from Fedora when they pulled the video codecs from RPM. It may be fixed, but the threat of pulling a tool from the repository still lingers in my mind.

EndeavourOS is a pretty decent setup, it has been working well for me so far, and I prefer Arch-based distros because of how quickly Linux has been moving.

Manjaro have let their SSL cert problem happen twice since I’ve been in the loop, and they were unintentionally DDOSing the AUR for a while.
